When on the first "friends" screen, you can view a list of recent places you have checked in at and may be able to see your point total, but I don't remember if the points show on the screen. There is a "check-in" button in the upper right corner, just below the status bar. The other tab pages in the app include, the explore tab, in the bottom middle, and the tab that will likely have your name in the bottom right corner. Explore will show a list of places that are nearby, and if you click on the third tab that has your name, then you can view a summary of your most recent activity, trends of most popular places you've visited in last 6 months, and other details of your activity. When you check-in somewhere, after you double tap the check-in button, Foursquare may take several seconds to query your GPS position so it can show you what is nearby to your location. You then can swipe right to find the place that you're at. Once you find the name of the business you are at, double tap it. If the iOS device does that rising tri-tone, then you are on a new page. If not, then you may need to swipe right until you find where you are again. This time though, when you find your place, the business's name and address will be listed, and you can double tap on it and the new page will come up. This final page will have a text area for you to say what you're up to, options to post to Facebook and Twitter (if you have enabled that in settings), and will allow you to "check-in" and complete the check-in process. Once this is done, a page will come up saying where you just checked in to. Periodically, you will unlock badges, and these will pop up after you have checked in somewhere. You will have to find and double tap the continue button to go on.
