iCloud Troubleshooting

If you’re having trouble getting your events to show up on both devices:

• Make sure both versions of Days Since are updated to the latest version in the App Store.
• Make sure both devices are signed into the same iCloud account
  • https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204053
• Syncing happens when the app is first launched so to trigger a refresh, hit the home button on your device and re-open Days Since.
• Check your connection.  If you have multiple events with custom backgrounds it may take a few moments to sync on a poor cellular connection.
• If you’re still having trouble syncing, follow these steps while connected to wifi:
  • Add a new event on your first device.
  • Close and re-open Days Since on your second device to see if it appears.
  • If the new event appears, try editing your existing events (change the time format or title) and relaunching the app on your second device to see if they appear.
• If you’re still having trouble syncing contact us.
