Exactly! The transition was also handled poorly. How annoying was it to have an unfamiliar Swarm pop-up anytime you wanted to check-in on Foursquare? How annoying is it that all your badges are gone? These new stickers seem cool, how do I earn them?

I mean, I love the new spontaneous event planning feature, sure. But really, all Swarm did was add a tab and some stickers. I honestly feel as if a simple redesign including those two features would have sufficed. Instead, they made a huge gamble based on data and didn't really think about how the current users would adapt.
