4th & Mayor updated to version 2.0, becomes the Mayor of App Updates

We can only imagine how incredible compliment as a developer it is when your third-party app becomes an officially endorsed solution by a company and a mark that you are a truly talented programmer. That's exactly what happened to Jeff Wilcox's 4th & Mayor earlier this May, when we broke news on Foursquare pulling their official app and instead offering up its users the unofficial client instead while they were working on their new version. Well today Foursquare users on Windows Phone are going to be pretty darn happy as 4th & Mayor has just leaped up to v2.0 and it brings along enough for us to call it the mayor of app updates. Here's the changelog:

Version 2:
• Accurate location reporting more often
• More responsive
• Replaces the Places pivot page with a dedicated Check In button and experience
• Lets you add photos to check-ins
• Expore profiles, including leaderboard progress, favorite categories and top places of friends
• Quick check-in respects your sharing preferences
• International users now get the complete maps experience, too
• Fixes a crash when checking in to a place too quickly
• Retires the dedicated Shout button
• Revamped user experience and interface
• Many, many other improvements and bug fixes - thanks for the bug reports!
• Explore is updated, adds the Outdoors item, moves Trending Now and Specials into new items

Ever since the official fiasco, we decided to take 4th & Mayor for a spin ourselves and since then we've really enjoyed it. The app has single-handedly made us Foursquare users as well as mobile check-in addicts, so kudos to them for achieving all of that with just an app. For those already addicted you should have received your update notice by now.
