＋Create a button

Tap “Button” at the bottom and search for the place — the search asks Google and, if switched on, the AI. Green results are places you already saved.

Alternatively: camera (photo of a sign, menu or flyer — the AI recognizes the place), paste a link (Instagram, Google Maps, website) or import a list. These three ways are part of Plus and Pro. Free also searches with AI — three searches a month; one unit is used once you save a result. Refining the same search costs nothing extra. Beyond that you add places by hand.

Words from your search are stored invisibly with the button so the same search finds it again later.

🗂Categories and sub-categories

14 categories, sorted A–Z, empty ones last. Free uses 6 of them, Plus and Pro all 14.

Sub-categories (e.g. pizzeria, pediatrician) are suggested by the app; from Plus you can create your own. Typos get a “Did you mean …?”.

🗺Map and location

The map is part of Plus and Pro. It shows every button as a pin; the category filters at the top count live what is inside the view. At the top, “Location”, “Country” and “World” change the view; “Country” uses the country you are in right now. Next to them sits “Tours” (Pro).

The blue dot is your location. If it does not appear, check the location permission in your browser or iPhone settings.

🤝Friends and sharing

Find friends by name, or invite them by email. Shared buttons arrive under Friends → “Received” and can be adopted — with or without note and photo.

Anyone who knows a share link can open it; recipients see your display name.

🥂Cheers

Raise a glass with friends — around the corner or across the Atlantic. A small message, free of charge. Free once a day, Plus and Pro unlimited.

⧉Merging duplicate buttons

If you add a place a second time, or someone shares one you already have, the app shows both side by side. What is new is marked green.

“Merge” adds to your button and keeps it — photos are added, your cover stays yours. Only when merging from your profile is the copy deleted afterwards; visits and tips move over first.

A friend’s categories are only taken over if you check the box. When in doubt, choose “Save as a new button anyway”.

🧭Tours (Pro)

Map → Tours: a route, a process or a challenge made of several buttons. “Suggested order” sorts by the shortest path and the map shows the order live.

Every step can carry a hint. Checking off a step records a visit automatically.

🎟Perks and vouchers

Perks are partner discounts attached to a button: show the pass with its QR code, the partner scans it.

Save your own vouchers with the camera (“Snap a voucher”). Pro reminds you before they expire and shows vouchers nearby.

⚙️Account

In your profile you change language, city, password and plan. “Delete account” removes all data permanently.
