How come I can’t find “church”, “Mosque”, “Synagogue” or “Temple” any more ?
#2 by Julianne White on November 14, 2010 - 11:29 pm
Some more things for animals:
Vet, Kennel/Pet Resort, Dog Park etc.
#3 by Daniel E. A-J on November 15, 2010 - 7:58 am
Daycare, kindergarden…

What about things like Condos, Apartments, Subdivisions & Neighborhood
#5 by Murilo Delmondes on January 22, 2011 - 3:24 am
Neighborhoods shouldn’t be venues. That doesn’t make any sense. I don’t want to have to check in if I’m just walking in the street. I feel the same about ‘city venues’. Are we going to have venues for states and countries as well? Why don’t have a venue for the Earth then?

Now, Country Club is a category that is missing.

“Studios” are missing as well.
Be it a sound recording or a media production house, we need a “Studio” subcategory as well.

Pilates studio, please — we have yoga, so this makes sense. Or else change yoga to “fitness studio”. Gym isn’t really accurate.

What about cabins (summer/vacation home)?
#10 by Chris Thompson on July 23, 2011 - 9:15 am
Homes.
#11 by William on August 15, 2011 - 1:37 pm
I miss ‘gated community’, ‘trailer park’, ‘shanty town’ or ‘slum’
#12 by Willem on August 23, 2011 - 10:35 am
Elementary school.
#13 by Pedro on October 21, 2011 - 1:22 pm
i can’t find this category in my foursquare categories.
I only have home/home and not Home / Work / Other
#14 by Chris Thompson on October 21, 2011 - 1:32 pm
The categories have changed slightly in the past few weeks. I’m unable to update these lists any longer due to foursquare’s new API.
#15 by Meo on December 28, 2011 - 4:34 am
I´d like to add a new category: “Chapel”
Professional & Other Places / Religious Center / Chapel
#16 by jagdish on December 31, 2011 - 12:22 am
What is the id of Gyms in JSON response ?
#17 by David on January 4, 2012 - 12:19 pm
Can you add “Advertising Agency”? You already have tech startup. I bet agencies have a ton of people checking into them every day.
#18 by Furniture Perth on January 23, 2012 - 3:26 am
A shopping category would be appropriate. For example, home furniture…
#19 by Murilo on January 23, 2012 - 8:16 am
There is. Shop & Service > Furniture and Home Store.
