Check-ins
Check-ins confirm that you were physically at a venue. They help keep reviews real, strengthen your TrustScore, and unlock progression as you explore.
✨ Why check-ins matter
A check-in does not directly reward XP, LP, or credits but it plays a powerful role in your overall progress:
It boosts the TrustScore of your future reviews
It helps complete quests and achievements
It unlocks higher rewards when you later leave a review
It strengthens the authenticity of your contributions
Check-ins make everything that follows more valuable.
🚀 How to check in
Checking in takes only a few seconds:
Tap the + floating action button (FAB)
Select Check-in
Confirm your location selecting the venue you're currently at
App will verify your biometrics if activated
That's it, you're checked-in and your visit is now verified.
🧭 Location rules
To keep check-ins fair and trustworthy, the system automatically ensures:
You must be close to the venue to check-in
You cannot check in remotely or outside the allowed range
Spoofed or manipulated locations are blocked
If you're too far away, check-ins simply won't work.
