How to Manually Check In/Out of a Place
This guide shows you how to check in and check out at a place by hand in the Hellotracks app. Use it to record your time at a place, for example when the automatic check-in didn't catch your visit.
Step 1: Go to the place. You can only check in when you are within about 200 meters (650 feet) of it.
Step 2: Open the Hellotracks app on your iPhone or Android phone.
Step 3: Tap the main menu in the upper left corner.
Step 4: Tap My places.
Step 5: At the top of the list, under You are here, find the place. This section shows the places within about 200 meters of you.
Step 6: Tap Check-in at the bottom of the place's card. When it's done, the button shows Checked in.
Step 7: When you leave, open My places again and tap Check-out on the same card. The button shows Checked out.
Place not under "You are here"? Then you are too far away. The list only shows Check-in and Check-out for places within about 200 meters of your current location, no matter what radius is set for the place. Move closer and make sure location access is on for Hellotracks.
No connection? You can still check in. The app saves the check-in and sends it as soon as you're online again. On Android, the card shows Sends when you're online.
