Troubleshooting

Location isn't updating

Ensure Rheole has 'Always On' location permissions in your OS settings. If using battery saver mode, background updates may be restricted. Try toggling Airplane mode to reset your GPS radio.

Recommendations feel incorrect

Rheole learns from your routines. If you recently moved or changed habits, it takes a few days to adjust. You can expedite this by manually clearing your 'Routine Cache' in Privacy Settings.

Search returns no results

Check your active filters. If you have 'Open Now' and 'Wheelchair Accessible' selected at 3 AM, results will be naturally limited. Try expanding your search radius.

Navigation issues

If the map compass is spinning, perform a Figure-8 motion with your phone to recalibrate the magnetometer. Ensure you have downloaded offline maps for areas with poor cellular reception.

Account & Privacy

Struggling to find where to manage your location access, theme, or connected accounts? All core preferences are managed securely under your Account Settings tab. You maintain absolute control over your abstractions.
