    Open any trip from My trips.

Reminders not arriving?

  • On iOS, you must launch Wayfare from the home-screen icon, not Safari.
  • Check system Settings → Notifications → Wayfare and allow alerts, sounds, banners.
  • Turn off Focus / Do Not Disturb, or add Wayfare as an allowed app.
  • On Android, disable battery optimization for your browser so background pushes aren't blocked.

Offline access (bonus)

Once installed, your itinerary, pickup details, and last-known GPS work without a signal. Check-ins you tap offline queue up and sync automatically when you reconnect.
