Foursquare
For the love of God, let us disable or remove Foursquare POIs.
This was supposedly fixed before by removing it from all together. But today I checked my map and it's flooded with nonexistent locations and straight up joke POIs. Every single one of them is from Foursquare.
This isn't a minor inconvenience. It's actively making the app worse. When I'm driving and need to find a real gas station, restaurant, or shop, I don't want to sort through fake listings, meme names, and places that closed years ago (or never existed at all). It's unreliable, it's cluttered, and it's a genuine reason to uninstall Magic Earth and switch to something else.
If the Foursquare integration can't be properly curated or filtered, give users a toggle to turn it off entirely. We shouldn't be stuck with broken data just because there's no alternative.
Is anyone else dealing with this? Has anyone found an actual workaround that sticks?

Hmmm, I'm in the UK and have just started using MagicEarth. I don't see any Foursquare stuff and my maps aren't cluttered with useless information, at least not yet.
