FAQ

Good questions.

How does the waitlist work?

When a spot opens, the next person gets a message and 2 hours to claim it (30 minutes close to game time). If they don’t, it passes on.

How do no-show fines work?

The organizer marks who didn’t show. They pay the fine before they can tap In again in that group chat.

What about friends on Android?

They can’t open the card. The roster and pay reminders go out as plain text, so they still see them.

Why paste the group’s names?

Messages doesn’t share names with apps. Paste them once to see who hasn’t answered.

Does IO count “in” typed in the chat?

No, apps can’t read the chat. The organizer can mark that person In.

Does IO know who paid?

No. IO never touches money, so “paid” is self-reported.

What does it cost?

Nothing. IO is free, for iPhone.
