Getting started
What is Go-To List for?
Go-To List is for keeping trusted food recommendations and useful personal places so you can find a trusted answer when you are nearby, travelling, planning, or trying to answer “where should we eat?”
What are My Places, Projects, Wishlist, and My Anchors?
My Places is the bottom-tab hub for My Recommendations, Wishlist, My Anchors, and Usage limits. Recommendations are places you already trust. Projects are temporary shared food spaces for trips, events, productions, venue teams, festivals, tours, workdays, or shortlists. Wishlist is for places you may want to try later. My Anchors are useful reference points such as hotels, venues, offices, airports, or trip bases that help you search nearby.
Does the app need my location?
Location can make nearby recommendations easier, but manual search, Project-based planning, and anchor-based search are intended to remain useful when you do not grant location access.
What are Usage limits?
Usage limits show fair-use guardrails for Google Places and high-volume actions. If you hit a limit, existing saved data remains available to view, edit, delete, and export. Daily limits reset at 00:00 UTC, shown in your local time inside the app.
Import and export
Which import files are supported?
Supported file types include CSV, JSON, and GeoJSON. Files can be chosen from iOS Files, sent through Share/Open In, received through AirDrop, or opened from Mail attachments where the file type is supported.
What happens after I import a file?
Imported places should be staged for review before they become active recommendations, Wishlist rows, or My Anchors. This keeps import cleanup private and helps avoid accidental duplicates.
What can I export?
The export flow is designed around your own data: Profile, Recommendations, Projects, Wishlist, and My Anchors. Supported export formats include CSV, JSON, GeoJSON, and combined export options.
Why did the app mark a place as a duplicate?
The app checks for likely existing places using provider matches, names, addresses, cities/countries, coordinates, and anchor matches. If you think it got this wrong, report it with the source file type and a short description.
Reporting a problem
What should I include in a support report?
Please include what you were trying to do, what happened, whether it involved import/export/sync/duplicates, the app version or build if visible, and any safe example place names. Do not send sensitive content unless it is needed to understand the issue.
Where do I report bugs?
Use Profile → Contact and support → Report a Problem inside the app when available. You can also use the support page on this website.
Can I request account or privacy help?
Yes. Use the support page for account help, privacy questions, safety concerns, data deletion enquiries, app feedback, and general enquiries.
