What the iOS app helps you do

What this helps you do

• A user-focused overview of the app.
• The Goshuin Atlas iOS app helps you discover temples and shrines, plan visits, track goshuin, explore maps, follow pilgrimage routes, save places, and participate in the community from your phone.
• Use the app while planning at home, while navigating in Japan, and after a visit when you want to organize memories and goshuin records.

Before you start

• Open the iOS app, finish onboarding, and choose only the permissions you are comfortable using.
• Sign in if you want cloud sync, goshuincho, saved places, community, or profile features across devices.

Steps

1. Complete onboarding and grant only the permissions you are comfortable using.
2. Sign in if you want cloud sync, goshuincho, community, saved places, or profile features.
3. Open discover for inspiration, then use explore when you need map context.
4. Create your first goshuincho before uploading collection photos.

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.
