This is a guide to getting the most out of KetchUP. Whether you're a first-time user or want to use it more effectively, this is for you.

■ Basic Usage

1. Search by Map
Open the app and a map of your surrounding area appears. Tap a marker to see the shop name, price, and category.

2. Filter by Category
Select a category from the filter button. You can filter by 14 categories such as 'Ramen/Udon/Soba' and 'Beef Bowl/Rice Bowl/Set Meal.'

3. Filter by Price Range
Set a price range in the filter. You can set between 0-3,000 yen, enabling searches like 'under 500 yen' that match your budget.

4. Save Favorites
Save shops you like with the heart icon. Access them quickly later. Log in to sync across devices.

■ Advanced Techniques

1. Report a Shop
Register cheap shops you find on the map. Just enter the menu name, price, category, and photo, then submit.

2. Vote to Rate
Vote 'Like' or 'Hmm' on each shop. Referencing everyone's ratings reduces the chance of picking a dud.
