Jeanne Rose

Jeanne Rose I down-loaded Gowalla and I have tired to use it with Facebook, so far, no luck as it wants facebook name and password, then it won't log on.Funny thing is, it continues to tell me that my password is wrong, but it isn't. I hope to see some of you on here soon...

I need help guys. I love this app. I've been using it for a few weeks now. I got
everything synced to Facebook and Twitter and everything was working
just fine. Well, I went traveling a few days ago and checked in a
several places but none of them were posted to my Facebook wall.

It worked beautifully the first few days I... had it. I got everything set
up and linked together. Then it just stopped posting, or it was hit and
miss posting. Yesterday it worked for two check in's and it hasn't
posted since. I've checked in at 2-3 more locations since then. My
check-in "Post to Facebook" slider is NOT grayed out and I've got it
set to post. My Twitter check-in's are working fine. I'm just having a
problem with Facebook. I've even unlinked the account, signed out of
both and went back in to re-link them. Nothing works. Thanks for any
help!

I reported it on their GET SATISFACTION site and had one of their customer service guys tell me that a few other people were having the problem. They were just trying to duplicate the issue so they could take a look at it but at that point hadn't been able to. I messed with mine for 2 days and then all of a sudden this morning it started working! ... Read MoreYeah for me! I just hope it keeps it up. If all else fails you can go to the actual website and click on the ICON of the check in site. Under the map there will be a share button. Just share it to Facebook like a link and type in your comments that way. I did that a few times. Good luck and if I hear of any fixes I'll post back. : )

Hey Guys,
Like I said I posted the problem on their site. To get to it Click this link. It will take you to their Feedback site (you may have to sign in). There will be a link in yellow that says I HAVE THIS PROBLEM TOO. The more people that have the problem the more attention it will probably get. : )

Jon Wilkie I there a message board or forum for Gowalla? I don't see much on the actual web site. Heck, even an FAQ would be great.

Huh, I checked Google, and there IS an FAQ on the Gowalla site. It just isn't linked from anywhere...

Didn't know you had an android. I think it only works with iPhone right now doesn't it?

They announced a Mobile Web thing for the Android that isn't an actual program (link below), but it doesn't work on my Moto Cliq. And here I was so excited about maybe getting to play...

I just signed up with Gowalla, and it give me an error every time I try to link my Gowalla account with my FB account. I suspect that something is broken.

Rotate the iPhone to landscape mode when browsing the Spots button at the bottom of Gowalla.

Another nifty feature whilst on the Spots page: give the iPhone a shake and the list will refresh. So if you've moved a few meters and nothing seems different, a gentle rattle will tell the GPS what's-what.
