Frequently asked questions

Help & Support
What is Jinjja?

Jinjja is a Seoul food and nightlife guide — curated local places, AI recommendations, walkable routes, and dining tables you can join to eat with other people instead of alone.

How does the free trial work?

New subscribers get a free trial before the first charge. The trial converts to a paid subscription automatically when it ends unless you cancel at least 24 hours beforehand. Trial eligibility is limited to one per Apple ID or Google account.

How do I cancel or manage my subscription?

Subscriptions are billed by Apple or Google, not by us, so they are managed in your store account. On iPhone open Settings, tap your name, then Subscriptions. On Android open the Play Store, tap your profile, then Payments & subscriptions. Cancelling stops future renewals; access continues until the current period ends.

How do I report a bug or get help with my account?

Email us at the address above with your account email and, if you can, a screenshot. Including the screen you were on and what you expected to happen helps us reproduce it faster.
