The foursquare app is literally called "Swarm" - it shows in the app how many people are actively checked into which venue, and the most busy hours of the day.

I'm so confused by people's response here. It's a location tracking app. I've been using Swarm for almost 10 years for this exact purpose.

My problem is that Foursquare (the company, not the apps) is using location data of people who aren't using location-tracking apps and who haven't given consent to have their location tracked.
