Asking for my location when I don't have any idea what is going on is a pretty quick way to get me to close the tab.

This is neat - however every location near me is considered GREEN (low population). Maybe that's true, but any time I've been to Wegman's... it's been packed. Of course, maybe Foursquare just isn't popular enough around here.

Wawa also showing "few humans." - Perhaps what this needs is a way to adjust the scale. What might be "few humans" in LA or NYC can be very different in other parts of the country.

Cool idea, though quite a few of the listed places are currently closed, so I didn't need the app to know there's nobody there.

Yea, would be nice to give an option to enter a zipcode.

If you can deal wih maybe 20 people, a rafting trip on the Tamur in Nepal is the closest I have come to absolutely "no one else here". No wifi. No electricity. A couple of nights with only the group and a large bonfire.

How frustrating that I can't manually enter a location.
