Real research takes a moment — Paint the Town is checking live venue information for your city. A typical generation takes 2–4 minutes; multi-day trips take longer. You'll get a push notification when plans are ready, so you don't have to watch the screen.

Your first date plan is free — no subscription needed. After that, Basic ($9.99/mo) includes 3 plan generations per month and Premium ($19.99/mo) includes 15 per month (up to 5 per day) plus vacation planning. Monthly limits reset on the 1st. The counter at the top of the plan screen shows where you stand.

Venue data is researched live, but places change fast. Use the swap feature (tap the stop → swap) to get a replacement that fits the rest of your plan — and always confirm hours with the venue for important nights. If a plan was unusable, email us; we make those right.

Mark plans as scheduled or completed. Venues from those plans go into your taste memory as "been there" and won't be suggested again. Thumbs-down on a stop also teaches it what to avoid.

Multi-day trips take a full research pass for every day of the trip — it's by far the most expensive thing Paint the Town does, so it lives in Premium. Every account can still browse destination suggestions.

Email simonshih@hotmail.com from your account's email address and we'll permanently delete your account, taste profile, and all plans within 30 days. See the privacy policy for details on what we store.

Open the Profile tab → Taste Profile. Changes apply to every plan you generate afterward; existing saved plans aren't affected.

Check Settings → Notifications → Paint the Town on your iPhone and make sure notifications are allowed. If they're on and still quiet, sign out and back in to refresh your device registration, then generate a plan to test.

Subscriptions are billed through your Apple ID and managed in Settings → your name → Subscriptions on your iPhone. Refunds are handled by Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com. Canceling keeps Premium active until the end of the paid period.
