Never miss a check-in, Our chicken waits foryou to connect to a WiFi then checks you into the foursquare /swarm place that you chose for this wifi which makes you an easymayor!

Most applications on the market that help you to check in toFoursquare / Swarm consume too much battery power that you end upuninstalling them to save battery power.

This app was thought out with battery consumption in mind, theway it works is that:
1- You choose the venue you want to be checked into.
2- You choose the WiFi that you will be connected to when you wantto check-in to that location.
3- The app stays closed in the background and the Android operatingsystem wakes the application up when you connect to a WiFinetwork
4- The application checks the WiFi name, if it's one of the WiFi'syou have configured for a check-in, it will automatically check youin and add a notification for you to know you have been checkedin.

I created this app so that it would automatically check me intowork and home without me having to remember it at all, so it wasinitially for personal use but I plan to enhance it further andwill keep batter power consumption in mind as I add features, sostay tuned,

If you have any bugs/feature request please email me atmailto:chicken@shereef.net :) or you can add them directly tohttps://bitbucket.org/Shereef/chicken/issues

P.S. The internet connection is only used to communicate withfoursquare / swarm and Google analytics (this only tracks how manyusers opened the application, how many times, and which screenshave they used, but never tracks what you are doing) , Youinformation never leaves your device, your check-ins/name/locationis always private until it reaches foursquare / swarm.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

http://developer.android.com/about/versions/android-3.1.html
"Starting from Android 3.1, the system's package manager keepstrack of applications that are in a stopped state and provides ameans of controlling their launch from background processes andother applications."

So if you force close the application it will not automaticallycheck you on when you connect to a wifi until you manually start itagain!
