As the author of the Foursquare layer I do agree that the technology is currently pretty limited and sensitive to network failure. The current implentation is from last November when the foursquare API was not yet officially released. Augmented reality is much more about experience than just raw information. Hopefully I will be able to improve on the user interface and experience, for instance by showing where your FS friends hang out.
