Tips

  • Start broad, then use search, filters, or map context when the result set is too large.
  • Save useful items before switching tabs.
  • Use official sources when a visit depends on a specific date, time, event, or availability.

Troubleshooting

  • If a tab or setting is missing, update the app and check whether you are signed in.
  • If sync-dependent features are unavailable, confirm your account session and network connection.
  • If the app opens in the wrong language or appearance, check app settings and iOS system preferences.

Privacy, accuracy, or availability notes

  • iOS permissions are optional unless a workflow needs them, such as location for nearby context or photos for goshuin uploads.
  • Cloud sync and account features depend on sign-in and network availability.
  • Use official sources for time-sensitive temple, shrine, event, and goshuin decisions.
