On October 21, 2024, it was announced that the app would sunset on December 15, 2024, with the web version following on April 28, 2025.
This mixes the original announcement with a later-confirmed shutdown date. On October 21, 2024, Foursquare said only that the web version would end in “early 2025”; April 28, 2025 was confirmed later.
Full reasoning
The sentence is inaccurate because it says the October 21, 2024 announcement already specified April 28, 2025 for the web shutdown.
Contemporaneous reporting that quoted Foursquare’s announcement on October 21, 2024 said the City Guide app would sunset on December 15, 2024, with the web version following in “early 2025”—not on a specific April 28 date.
Foursquare’s own support FAQ, updated on December 12, 2024, still said the web version would remain available until “early 2025” and that the “exact date” was still “to come.” That means the April 28 date had not been part of the original October 21 announcement.
Foursquare later updated its official sunset page to say the web version did ultimately end on April 28, 2025. So the problem is not the final date itself; it’s attributing that later-confirmed date to the October 21, 2024 announcement.
