Before Facebook started offering its own 'check-in' feature, there
was Gowalla and Foursquare, both of which are still widely used. The
Gowalla app for Android received an update today to version 4.0 which
brings "a brand new version of Gowalla! Tons of new features including
Guides, Stories, and Lists, and more. [sic]" to the table. No, really.
That was directly from the changelog in the Market listing. The only
entry in said changelog, to be exact.
Apparently by "and more," they mean Force Closes, missing features, and removal of everything that made people love Gowalla in the first place.
Of all of the comments and ratings in the Market listing since the update went live this morning, nearly all of them are 1-star ratings with some sort of comment referring to the above mentioned changes. Point in case:
Ouch. Looks like you really dropped the ball on this one, Gowalla.

That's the general consensus throughout the comments. The words useless, not enough testing, and force close appear several times throughout.
