Check device permission
uDink uses the device's location permission to rank nearby sessions and venues and to resolve a local area. There is no separate in-app location switch in the current build; the operating-system permission is authoritative.
iPhone or iPad
- Open the iOS Settings app.
- Open Privacy & Security > Location Services.
- Select uDink.
- Allow location while using the app. Enable Precise Location if you want the most accurate nearby ranking.
- Return to uDink.
Android
- Open the device's app settings for uDink.
- Open Permissions > Location.
- Allow location while using the app.
- Choose precise or approximate location according to your preference. The current app accepts either permission, although approximate location can make nearby ranking less accurate.
- Make sure the device's main Location service is on, then return to uDink.
Permission alone does not guarantee that the device has produced a current location. uDink on Android currently reads the last available device location, which can be missing or stale.
Refresh and search
- Open Directory.
- Pull down to refresh.
- Use Search Courts / Venues to search by venue name, address, city, state, country or venue code.
- Open Sessions and use Search sessions, venues or groups if you are looking for a session at that venue.
If location is unavailable, the Directory can show venues alphabetically rather than limiting and ranking them using the resolved country and distance.
Add a genuinely missing venue
If the venue does not exist in the Directory and you have the correct details, use the add-venue action or Add new venue if not in list while creating a session.
What happens next?
Reopen the Directory after changing permission or adding a venue. If a venue is still missing or has the wrong location, contact support with its name, full public address and a map link. Do not send your live personal location.
