LocaJot FAQ and Support

How do I download all the places I've been at in foursquare®?

Easy as pie. You can get the "4SQ® Check-in™ History" two different ways.

1) From the main screen, click on "My Venues"
2) Click on "Add a new venue from foursquare"
3) Click the "4SQ® Check-in™ History" button.
4) Click "log in". You will only have to do this once unless you decide to log out of foursquare® later on.
5) Log in to foursquare
6) Hurray! You did it! You now see all of your check-ins on foursquare®.
7) Click "Import Mode" at the top of the screen and choose individual venues or click "Select All" at the bottom of the screen to, well, you know, select all the venues.
8) Click "Import Now" and you will soon have all of your check-ins as "my venues" to add notes to now.

The other method to snag all your check-in venues is as follows:

1) From the main screen, click on "Create Note"
2) Click the "4SQ® Check-in™ History" button.
3) Follow steps 4 through 8 from above and you're good to go!

How do I delete a note?

1) From the main screen, click on "My Notes"
2) Click the "edit" button at the top right of the screen.
3) Click on the red button next to the note you want to delete.

2) Click on the trash can icon in the upper right hand of screen.
3) Confirm you want to delete your note by clicking on the red "delete note" button.

How do I change distance units to kilometers? I live in Canada and don’t use miles.

Easy stuff.

2) Click on your preferred unit of distance (you just said "kilometers", right? Choose that then)
3) Click the home icon at the top and have fun with LocaJot.

Why is my place of work missing from the nearby venues?

LocaJot uses the foursquare® service to find nearby venues. If your workplace is not on foursquare®, you will need to use the foursquare® website or app to add it. Once created in foursquare® it will be available for you to use in LocaJot.

I thought I logged off. Why does LocaJot still return my foursquare® Check-in™ history?

Logging out of your foursquare® account is simple, but takes three steps.

1) First go to the config page (home screen gear) and hit the "Log Out" button.
2) After confirming that you want to continue, you'll see the foursquare webpage displayed with the LocaJot name.
3) The last step is to click the "Log Out" button on that embedded foursquare® web page (upper right of the page).
4) Tap the LocaJot logo at the top of the screen to get back to the app and continue on with your notes.

I don't feel comfortable giving LocaJot my foursquare® username and password.

LocaJot does not have access to your login information. When you type in your password, you are really on the foursquare® website. The login mechanism is called OAuth2 and we think it works well.

None of my venues appear on the map. What do I do?

First look in the upper left of the map for the the current category filter displaying in gray text. Unless the category filter is "ALL", you may be displaying only a single category of venues. To change the display category, click "Map Options" and select a new category. Another possibility is that you have set the star filter. If any of the stars at the bottom of the map page are red, then the map is only displaying venues that you have rated at least as high as the number of stars displayed.

• 
  

Some venues don't have phone numbers and other phone numbers are not correct. Why is that?

LocaJot gets all the phone number data from the foursquare® Venues database. Let's have patience while they continue to improve the database and create something great.

How do I rank venues?

Click on a venue from the My Venues screen or click the venue on the map. To change the rating of a venue, tap your finger on the stars.
