Troubleshooting Common Issues
Solutions to technical problems you might encounter
Location & GPS Issues
Location services are required for check-ins. Make sure you've granted the app location permissions in your device settings.
Solution Steps:
- iOS: Go to Settings › BeeThere Ambassador › Location › Select "While Using the App"
- Android: Go to Settings › Apps › BeeThere Ambassador › Permissions › Location › Allow
- Ensure location services are enabled on your device
- Check that you have a clear view of the sky for better GPS accuracy
- Restart the app and try again
GPS signals can be affected by your environment and device settings.
Try these solutions:
- Move to an open area with a clear view of the sky
- Turn off Wi-Fi if you're outdoors (sometimes helps GPS lock)
- Enable "High Accuracy" mode in your device location settings
- Restart your device to refresh GPS connections
- Wait 30-60 seconds for GPS to acquire satellites
The app verifies you're within range of the event location for security.
What to do:
- Make sure you're physically at the correct location
- Wait a few moments for GPS to update your position
- Walk closer to the event address
- Pull down to refresh your location
- If you're certain you're at the right place, contact your event coordinator
Login & Authentication
Login issues can occur for several reasons.
Check these common causes:
- Verify you're using the correct email address

- Ensure you have an active internet connection
- Try closing and reopening the app
Automatic logouts can happen due to security settings or app issues.
Solutions:
- Make sure you have the latest app version installed
- Check your internet connection stability
- Clear the app cache (Settings › Apps › BeeThere › Clear Cache)
- Reinstall the app if the problem persists
- Contact support if issues continue
Contract & Signature Issues
Signature capture requires a clear, complete signature.
Tips for successful signing:
- Draw your signature slowly and clearly
- Make sure your entire signature fits within the box
- Use your finger or a stylus (if available)
- Try again if the signature looks unclear
- Ensure your screen is clean and responsive
Contract loading issues are usually network-related.
Solutions:
- Check your internet connection
