Frequently Asked Questions
Does Miletos work without an internet connection?
Yes — the map, your discoveries, the ancient-world layers, and over 350 bundled place guides all work fully offline.
How does iCloud sync work?
If signed into iCloud, discoveries sync automatically to your own private CloudKit database. Sign out of iCloud at any time to keep everything local-only.
What is Pleiades, and why does Miletos link to it?
Pleiades is a community-built gazetteer of ancient-world places used by archaeologists and historians. Linking a discovery to it unlocks the offline place guide for that site.
Will there be a paid version or in-app purchases?
Miletos is free today with no ads or subscriptions. Optional features are being explored for a future update; everything currently in the app will stay free.
Troubleshooting
The app can't find my location
Check Settings → Privacy & Security → Location Services → Miletos, and set it to "While Using the App."
A place guide won't load while offline
Only the bundled guides and previously-viewed places work offline. New places need one successful fetch with a connection first.
