When reporting a bug, it helps to include:
When you tap a jurisdiction tile, the app records a “spot.” If you’ve enabled proximity scoring for a trip, the app uses your device’s location to award bonus points based on how far you are from your home jurisdiction.
PL8HNT uses your device’s location only when you tap a tile and only if you’ve enabled proximity scoring for the current trip. To enable or change location permissions, open your device’s Settings app and find PL8HNT under the list of installed apps.
Your location data is never transmitted off your device.
Achievements unlock as you reach jurisdiction milestones (10, 25, 40, and all 50 US states). Make sure you’ve tapped the tile for each state you’ve spotted; tapping the same state more than once is fine, but unique states are what count toward achievements.
Open the trip manager (the avatar icon in the top right of the main screen). From there you can create new trips and switch between them. Each trip tracks its own jurisdiction taps independently.
Yes! When you create a new road trip, toggle on “Share with friends” in the dialog. You’ll see a QR code that friends can scan from the scan icon in the top right of the Road Trips screen. As the trip owner, you approve each join request before the new member sees the trip on their device.
Two modes are available when you create a shared trip:
Tap-by-tap updates from other devices show up as banners at the bottom of the screen. Tap the people icon on a shared trip card to see the leaderboard, drill into who tapped which states, and (if you’re the trip owner or a co-owner) approve / remove members.
Shared trips are automatically deleted from our backend 30 days after the last activity (90-day hard cap). Your personal local tap counts always remain on your device — leaving a shared trip never deletes your own data.
It’s the join code for that trip. Tap it to show the QR code (and a short share code, if your friend can’t scan); show it to a friend so they can join. The trip owner still approves each request before the new member is admitted, so even if the QR is screenshotted and circulated, nobody can join without your say-so.
