Future Checkin app is too checkin-happy for my taste

The Future Checkin iOS app attempts to execute on an excellent idea- automatically checking in users to Foursquare locations based on where they physically are (after a slight delay).  Unfortunately, it is hampered by poor location sensitivity.  I loved the concept, but was less than thrilled to find that my iPhone had a magical night out via Future Checkin, visiting bars and restaurants all over my neighborhood, while I was sleeping.

Then while at the office, future checkin took me out for lunch and coffee multiple times during the workday while I was siting at my desk. I guess I must live in an area that’s just too densely populated with Foursquare locations.

It’d be great to checkin to all these favorites, but I think I’ll use the real Foursquare app and actually go visit them in person.
