Hi, My app is crashing and I cannot click any buttons or load anything. I am increasingly concerned I am going to lose all my data and my Finch. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have created a manual zip file backup but am nervous about deleting the app and restarting in case this does not work . Thank you.

Today, all my goals I had set have disappeared. The only way I can get them to appear is adding a new goal which is what I don't want to do. Please help me.

The app stops having sound out of nowhere and it's unclear how to bring the sound back. Restarting the app helps but only temporarily for about two minutes. I noticed this while using soundscapes, they would stop out of nowhere and I noticed the rest of the app wasn't making sound either at those times. Restarting my phone did not solve the issue.

My app stopped giving me quotes and stopped asking me how I feel. I think this is very important in order for me to even want to use finch.. please make it work again :(

M
Millie 2023-04-15

My app has been glitching. Whenever I snooze a task, all my tasks for this day are gone and only show up again when I add a new one. My Finch can now go on multiple adventures a day. I get more than one gift box a day but whenever I "start" a new day, all my reflections and notes are gone. Very frustrating.

I updated my app & decided to opt into the backing up of my account with the beta option and now everytime I try to log in it tells me syncing data it'll,get to the end tell me to reload and then start the madness of syncing all over again. yes I've uninstalled and re installed I've shut off my iPad and iPhone off and on again. customer service gave me no response. my birb is lonely asf. someone please help. I'm so frustrated. and no I don't have this "skip" button everyone else claims to have.

M
Marisol Dippolito 2023-02-26

I did the app update yesterday and agreed to have my finch account backed up so I would never lose my finch data. But, when I tried to log in later on after the update, it kept crashing. So I restarted my phone (just in case). After the restart I saw it needed another update, which I did. Then when I tried to use the app it got stuck trying to sync since. That's all it does now. It's been stuck trying to sync since last night.

the time on my phone was changed but I continued using finch without noticing it was changed, now when I’ve set it back to the current time my bird is continuously adventuring for days and the timer resets to 59:59:59 when it ends

J

I changed the nickname for a friend in my tree time, not realizing that all my reflections about them wouldn’t sync, but when I try to change the name back it won’t work.

I did the 1-week free trial for finch+, and the day it ended I cancelled it. However, a charge was put on our apple account saying we have to pay $42.19 for finch+. Please help because I don’t need or want finch+, and being charging for something I deliberately cancelled is bs. Please notify at the email listed above ASAP, I would like this issue resolved before Thanksgiving (next Thursday) due to not wanting to face my mom about this (for reference, I am a broke college student who can’t afford to spend $40 for something I don’t want)

C
Cindy Miles 2022-11-01

My Finch app doesn't update to current. My friend has the app and hers updated today, but mine still hasn't updated and then I'm going to be behind on getting the animal outfits like she started getting today.

Screaming, crying and throwing up My whole finch data disappeared and now I’m stuck with an supper old one 😭 I’ve never felt so stressed in my life I’m literally getting gray hair from this

Nebula 2022-09-08

I was in the middle of writing a reflection and it closed out back to the home screen but I can't see my finch or any of my goals. It started flickering and flashing madly. I have tried force stopping the app and reopening, restarted my phone, etc. But nothing works. Every time I open the app, the blank finchy forest start glitching out again. Hopefully this can be fixed because I've spent so much time on my finch and my bedroom. Plus the app has been my life line for so long and an extremely important part of my day. My finch asks me things no other human I've met has cared to know. I love the app so much other than this issue. L if there is any way to fix jf it on my end please let me know what I can do.

I got to the point where I had a house, I got it all decorated, and then suddenly it disappeared as if I nevee reached a high enough level to unlock it. The workshop completely disappeared as well. My gems that I spend are still gone though. Is this a glitch? Or is it only accessible a few times before its gone?

When I turned on face recognition or just "app lock" my tasks disappeared. They're covered by a neverending grey box that I can't seem to get rid of. I've closed out the app and shut down my phone and it still won't go away. I absolutely love this app and I don't want to lose my data.

Hello! Just wanna say beforehand that I am in love with the app! It's cute and adorable and has gotten me to write down my feelings. But for some reason I can't see the shop in the top right of the screen when looking at your widget? I can see the button to go to the shop, and when I get to the shop it's just all gray- not the screen but specifically where the items are? I hope this explains my issue well enough ^^"
