To help us answer quickly, please include your iOS version, your app version (Settings, bottom of the screen), and what you were doing when the problem happened.

Getting started

How do I check in?

Open the Check In tab and tap the large button in the centre. Give the place a name and pick a category, then tap Save Check-In. You can also tap Skip to save it without a name.

Why does the app need my location?

To record where a check-in happened. Without it the app cannot save your current place. CheckIn does not track you in the background or while the app is closed.

Can I check in from the home screen?

Yes. Add the CheckIn widget to your home screen and tap it to record a check-in without opening the app.

Your places

How do I find a place again?

Open My Locations and pull down to reveal the search bar. You can search by place name, address, note or category. You can also filter with the category chips, or switch the order to Nearest to see what is closest to you right now.

How do I delete a check-in?

Swipe left on it in My Locations, or open it and use the bin icon. To delete several at once, tap Select, choose them, then tap Delete.

How do I mark a favourite?

Swipe right on a check-in, or tap the star when viewing it. Browse everything you have starred from the menu in the top left of My Locations, under Favorites.

Can I export my data?

Yes. In My Locations, open the menu in the top left and choose Export. CSV export is available on every plan; PDF reports require Plus or above.

Subscriptions

How do I cancel?

Open the Settings app on your iPhone, tap your name at the top, then Subscriptions, then CheckIn, then Cancel Subscription. Cancelling stops the next renewal and you keep access until the end of the period you have paid for.

I paid but the features are locked

Open CheckIn, go to Settings, tap your plan and then Restore Purchases. Make sure you are signed in to the same Apple ID you purchased with. If it still does not unlock, email us.

I bought the old lifetime upgrade

It still works. That purchase permanently grants the Gold tier and you do not need a subscription. If it is not showing, tap Restore Purchases.

How do I get a refund?

Refunds are handled by Apple, not by us. Visit reportaproblem.apple.com, sign in with your Apple ID and select the purchase. We cannot issue refunds directly.

Deleting the app did not cancel my subscription

That is expected. Subscriptions live with your Apple ID, not with the app. Cancel it in Settings as described above.

Features

Automatic check-ins are not appearing

Automatic check-ins rely on iOS visit detection, which requires Always location permission and only delivers events while the app is running. Detected visits are saved as drafts for you to review, not published straight away. Because CheckIn does not use a background location mode, some visits may be delayed or missed.

What is the Private Vault?

It hides check-ins you mark as private behind Face ID on your device. Please note it is a display control, not encryption. See the Privacy Policy for exactly what it does and does not do.

What does end-to-end encryption cover?

On the Diamond plan it encrypts your note and review text before upload, using a key stored only on your device. Coordinates, addresses, photos and voice memos are not encrypted. If you lose or replace the device, encrypted text cannot be recovered by anyone, including us.

Why is there no weather on some check-ins?

Weather is recorded at the moment you check in and needs a network connection. Check-ins saved offline, and those made before the feature existed, will not have it.

I have reached the 100 place limit

The free plan includes 100 saved places. Checking in again at somewhere you have already saved always works. To add new places beyond the limit, upgrade to Plus or above. Nothing you have saved is deleted.

Privacy and your data

How do I delete my account?

Open the app, tap the profile icon on the Check In screen, and choose Delete Account. This removes your check-in records and your sign-in credentials. Some uploaded photos and voice memos may remain in storage; email us and we will erase them for you.

Who can see my check-ins?

Only you, and anyone you deliberately share a list with. Authorised administrators can also access stored data in order to operate the service. This is explained in full in section 8 of the Privacy Policy.

Can I get a copy of my data?

Use CSV export in the app, or email us and we will provide it.
