The chat doesn't answer or shows an error

  1. 1.The chat needs an internet connection; try switching between Wi-Fi and mobile data
  2. 2.Free accounts get one question per day. The counter resets the next day, or you can start a free trial
  3. 3.Wait a moment and send the question again; if it keeps failing, restart the app
  4. 4.Still stuck? Send us a screenshot of the error

The app is in the wrong language

  1. 1.Open Settings, then Preferences, and choose your language
  2. 2.Scripts, articles, and chat answers switch to that language too
  3. 3.If some content still shows in English, refresh the content from the bottom of Settings

Reminders

I don't get my daily reminder

  1. 1.Open Settings, then Reminders, and check that the reminder is on
  2. 2.Allow notifications for RootWise in your phone's settings
  3. 3.Turn off Do Not Disturb or Focus modes for the reminder time
  4. 4.On Android, exclude RootWise from battery optimization so the reminder can fire

I want to stop the reminder

  1. 1.Open Settings, then Reminders, and switch the reminder off
  2. 2.RootWise sends no other notifications on its own

Subscription & Billing

My subscription isn't recognized

  2. 2.Make sure you are signed in to the same App Store or Google account you bought the subscription with
  3. 3.Check your internet connection and try again

I want to cancel my subscription

  1. 1.iPhone: Settings, your name, Subscriptions, RootWise, then Cancel
  2. 2.Android: Google Play, profile, Payments & subscriptions, Subscriptions, RootWise, then Cancel
  3. 3.Deleting the app does not cancel the subscription
  4. 4.You keep premium access until the end of the period you paid for

I was charged after the free trial

  1. 1.The trial converts to the paid plan unless you cancel at least 24 hours before it ends
  2. 2.Refunds are handled by Apple and Google: request one via reportaproblem.apple.com or the Google Play order history
  3. 3.Write to us if you need help with the request

Data & Devices

My chats or journal entries are missing on a new phone

  1. 1.Chat history and journal entries are stored only on your device, encrypted, and are not uploaded
  2. 2.Your profile and children come back when you sign in on the new phone
  3. 3.Export journal entries from the journal page before switching phones (premium feature)

The app crashes or freezes

  1. 1.Close the app completely and open it again
  2. 2.Update RootWise and your phone's operating system
  3. 3.Restart your phone
  4. 4.Reinstalling helps in rare cases, but it deletes local chats and journal entries; export the journal first
  5. 5.Tell us what you did right before the crash so we can reproduce it

Still need help?

Write to us. Screenshots and the app version (bottom of Settings) speed things up.
