Getting around the app
Five tabs along the bottom, and everything in Baojai lives under one of them. Read this first — every other chapter assumes you know which tab a thing is on.
Signed in. Most of the app needs an account, because almost everything it shows you is yours: your sessions, your library, your readings.
Steps
- 1
Look at the row of tabs along the bottom.
You should see · ① Home, ② Explore, ③ Record, ④ Community and ⑤ You. The one you are on is the one highlighted.
What it means · ③ Record sits in the middle because it is what the app is for — the other four are ways in and out of it. Home is today at a glance, Explore is everything you can listen to, Community is other people, and You is your own history and settings.
- 2
Stay on the You tab and read the top of it.
You should see · Your counts ① — sessions, followers, following — and two tabs ② ③ splitting what you have made into meditations and posts.
What it means · "Sessions" counts recordings and class attendance, not minutes listened. Listening to something in Explore does not move it; recording while you listen does.
- 3
Note the three shortcuts on this tab.
You should see · ① your health readings, ② your archive, and ③ settings.
What it means · ① Health is where every reading the app has taken of you ends up, whether it came from the camera, a ring or a class. It is worth knowing the way here: nothing else in the app shows you the long view.
- 4
Open Settings from the You tab.
You should see · ① your account, ② paired devices, ③ notifications and, further down, ④ this guide.
What it means · ② Devices is where a ring or headband is paired and where you go when one stops reporting. Settings is also the only route to the language switch and to what the app is allowed to collect about you.
How to tell it worked
- ✓You can name what each of the five tabs is for.
- ✓You can reach Settings and your Health readings from the You tab.
Problems
A tab opens but the screen is empty
Why · Most tabs show YOUR content, and a new account has none yet.
Fix · Record a session or save something from Explore, then come back.
The Record tab does nothing
Why · Recording needs camera or microphone permission, and it is only asked for the first time you try.
Fix · Allow it when asked. If you refused earlier, turn it back on in the iOS or Android settings for Baojai.
