✏️ Can I edit or delete a dish?

Yes — for dishes you logged yourself. Tap any dish to open its detail view, then tap the edit icon to make changes. To delete, tap the trash icon and confirm.

For dishes shared by other group members, only the person who originally logged the dish can edit or delete it. You can still tap in to see the full details.

📸 Can I add photos to dishes?
⭐ Fork Yeah! premium

On the Fork It! screen, tap Add photo to take a new photo or choose one from your gallery. Photos appear on the dish detail screen. Tap a photo to get the option to save it to your phone's camera roll, or edit the dish to remove it.

📤 How do I share a dish to social media?
⭐ Fork Yeah! premium

Open any dish and tap the Share button below the verdict. Choose whether to include your notes, then tap Share. A branded card is generated and the native share sheet opens — pick Instagram, X, Facebook, Messages, or any other app.

🔥 What do the verdicts mean?

Every dish gets one of three verdicts. Filter your list by verdict using the chips at the top of the home screen.

🔥 Yum! — Order it again
😐 Meh — It was fine
🚫 Nope — Never again
🏠 How do I sort and collapse restaurants?

Tap A–Z or Recent in the second filter row to switch sort order. The app starts A–Z and switches to Recent after you log a dish.

When you have 3 or more restaurants, tap any restaurant name to collapse or expand its dishes. Collapsed restaurants show a summary like "7 dishes · 🔥 5 😐 1 🚫 1".

💡 Set all restaurants to start collapsed in Account → Settings → Start restaurants collapsed (Fork Yeah! premium).

🔍 How do I filter my dish list?

Use the All / Yum! / Meh / Nope chips at the top of the home screen. Premium users can also tap Find nearby to filter by restaurants close to you.

📍 How does the nearby restaurant picker work?
⭐ Fork Yeah! premium

When logging a dish, tap the 📍 pin button next to the restaurant field. ForkYesNo! finds restaurants near your GPS location, sorted by distance.

Tap Search in the top right to switch to text search if you're logging from home.

💡 Adjust the detection radius in Account → Location.

📍 How does the nearby banner on the home screen work?
⭐ Fork Yeah! premium

When you're close to a restaurant you've visited before, a banner appears at the top of your list. Tap Find nearby in the filter row to manually trigger a search.

🎯 How do I change my nearby radius?
⭐ Fork Yeah! premium

Go to Account → Location → Nearby radius and choose ¼ mile, ½ mile, 1 mile, or 2 miles. The default is ¼ mile.

⚡ What is Auto-search on open?
⭐ Fork Yeah! premium

When enabled in Account → Settings, the Fork It! screen automatically searches for nearby restaurants the moment you open it.

🔗 What happens when I log a dish at a chain restaurant?
⭐ Fork Yeah! premium

When you log a dish at a place you've been to before but at a different physical location (e.g. Chili's in Tampa vs Chili's in Orlando), the app will ask: "Is this part of the same chain?"

Tap Same chain to link them. Your verdicts from every location roll up together — handy for chains where the menu is the same everywhere, so a "Nope" on the spicy salad at one Chili's warns you at every other Chili's too.

The app remembers your answer, so it won't ask again at future locations of the same chain. Tap Different place if it's just a coincidental name match.

💡 On the nearby panel, chain rollups show "across N locations" under the distance. Tap in and use the All locations / This location only toggle to filter.
👥 How do I share dishes with a group?

Tap Groups in the bottom navigation. Create a group and share your invite code with the people you want to add. When logging a dish, expand Share with groups and toggle which groups to share it with.

Free accounts can join 1 group. Fork Yeah! members get unlimited groups.

🔗 How does someone join my group?

Share your group's invite code with them. They open the Groups tab, tap Join group, enter the code, and they're in.

Each code works once — after someone joins with it, the code is consumed. Generate a new code for the next person.

✏️ Can I edit dishes shared by other group members?

No. Only the person who originally logged a dish can edit or delete it. When you view a shared dish from another group member, you'll see "Added by [their name]" and the edit/delete buttons are hidden.

You can still see the full details — photo, notes, verdict — just not change them.

🔔 What are notifications?

ForkYes!ForkNo! sends two kinds of in-app notifications, visible via the bell icon in the top-right corner of the home screen. A red badge shows your unread count.

👥 What are group share notifications?

When a group member logs a dish and shares it to your group, everyone else in that group gets a notification. Tap the notification to jump straight to the Groups tab to see the new dish.

⚠️ What are content moderation notifications?

If a photo you uploaded is automatically removed for containing inappropriate content, you'll receive an alert explaining what happened. These appear as a dialog as soon as you open the app.

🔕 Can I turn off notifications?

Yes — go to Account → Group notifications and toggle it off. This disables group share notifications. Content moderation alerts cannot be disabled.

💡 This toggle only appears if you're a member of at least one group.
🗑️ How long are notifications kept?

The app keeps your 10 most recent notifications, and automatically removes anything older than 15 days. You can also delete individual notifications manually from the Notifications screen.

✉️ Why am I being asked to verify my email?

When you sign up with an email and password, we send a verification link to confirm your address. You have 2 days to verify — after that, access is restricted until you verify.

Check your inbox (and spam folder) for an email from ForkYes!ForkNo! and click the link. Once verified, the reminder banner disappears automatically — no action needed in the app.

If you didn't receive the email, tap Resend on the yellow banner at the top of your dish list.

Google and Apple sign-in users do not need to verify their email.

🔑 How do I change my password?

Go to Account → Settings → Change password. You'll need to enter your current password first, then choose a new one (10+ characters, uppercase, lowercase, number, special character).

This option only appears for email/password accounts — Google and Apple sign-in users manage passwords through those services.

✉️ I forgot my password. What do I do?

On the login screen, tap Forgot password? and enter your email. You'll receive a reset link within a few minutes. Check your spam folder if it doesn't arrive.

💬 How do I contact support?

Email us at support@forkyesforkno.com and we'll get back to you as quickly as we can.

🗑️ How do I delete my account?

Go to Account and scroll to the bottom. Tap Delete account, then confirm in the dialog. This permanently removes your account, all dishes, photos, and group memberships — it cannot be undone.

Your data is deleted immediately from our servers including authentication, dish history, and photos.
