Using Android? See Allow camera and photo access on Android.
LotJitsu asks to use your camera the first time its camera opens, usually the first time you add a lot. The message reads "LotJitsu uses the camera to photograph the lots you are cataloguing." Tap Allow (or OK).
If you see "Camera access was blocked"
If camera access was turned off, the camera screen says the viewfinder can't open and shows two buttons.
- Tap Open Settings. The Settings app opens at LotJitsu's page.
- Turn on Camera.
- Go back to LotJitsu, open the catalog, and tap Add Lot again.
- If the message is still there, close LotJitsu fully (swipe it away in the app switcher) and open it again.
You can also open the Settings app yourself and find LotJitsu in the list of apps (under Apps on recent versions of iOS).
Keep working without the camera
Tap Use Device Photos on the same screen. Your photo library opens; choose one or more photos and confirm. They are added just like photos you take, and the rest of the lot works the same way.
Photo library access
LotJitsu doesn't need permission to read your photo library. When you add photos from your phone, the iPhone's own picker opens and LotJitsu receives only the photos you choose.
Good to know
- LotJitsu never asks for your microphone or your location.
- If the camera is allowed but stays on "Starting camera…" and then says it didn't start, tap Try Again. If that doesn't work, close LotJitsu fully and open it again. This sometimes happens the first time the camera opens after an update.
- On iPad, LotJitsu works the same way, in portrait.
