My data isn't syncing across devices.

Reminders / notifications aren't firing.
Checklist:
- OS permission granted? Settings → LifeWell → Notifications → enabled?
- Quiet hours active? Are you in your configured quiet-hours window?
- Reminder enabled? Open Reminders page → check the reminder is on.
- (Android only) Battery optimisation? Some OEMs aggressively kill background apps; exempt LifeWell.
- (Mobile) Push token registered? Sign out and back in to refresh.
Photos / audio won't upload.
- Google Drive permission? Settings → Connected accounts → Google Drive → reconnect if disconnected.
- Drive storage full? Free up space in your Drive.
- OAuth token expired? Sign out and back in to refresh.
- Internet connectivity? Uploads queue offline; try again online.
The app is slow / unresponsive.
- Close and reopen the tab / app.
- Clear cache (Settings → app data → clear cache).
- Update to the latest app version.
- Check device storage — full storage can cause slowness.
- If it's persistent, email support with device model + browser + steps.
A specific page won't load.
- Hard refresh (Ctrl+Shift+R / Cmd+Shift+R) on web.
- Restart the app on mobile.
- Sign out and back in — refreshes auth + cache.
- Note the URL and the error if any; email support.
Calculator gives weird results.
- Check the units in your inputs (kg vs lb, cm vs inches).
- Try the formula manually (each calculator page documents the formula).
- If still wrong, file a bug report — the formula is verified against published references but bugs happen.
I deleted something by accident.
- Most entries: deletion is soft for 30 days. Open the trash on the relevant page (where supported) and restore.
- Notes: 30-day trash recovery.
- Memory media: stays in your Google Drive even if the memory metadata is deleted (recover from Drive directly).
My family tree is rendering wrong.
- Refresh — the simulation may settle better on second render.
- Reduce depth in tree settings — too many nodes overwhelms the layout.
- Filter by relationship type (family only, exclude work / friends).
- If a relationship is missing, edit the person's profile to add it.
My consultation messages aren't sending.
- Internet check.
- Session window — consultations have time-bound sessions; check the session is still active.
- Encrypted-thread state — if encryption keys are out of sync (rare), email support.
I can't open a community.
- Membership required? Some communities are member-only; join first.
- Suspended community? Platform-suspended communities show a banner.
- Bug? Email support with the community name.
My credits / premium aren't showing.
- Recent payment? Allow 5-10 minutes for the external processor to confirm.
- Reload the app to refresh from Firestore.
- Still missing? Email support with the transaction reference.
Where to get more help
- Email: aoneahsan@gmail.com.
- In-app: Settings → Help & feedback.
- Community: peer support in the relevant LifeWell community (note: peers, not official support).
For privacy-sensitive issues (account suspension review, data-deletion confirmation, GDPR requests), email is the only support channel — community visibility isn't appropriate for those.
