We may release an update that requires you to update the app. This could be an important bug fix or a new feature that will cause an old version to crash.

There are a few reasons this could happen.

– TLDR; if you uninstall the app and reinstall it should be fixed.

The most common reason is the app could be caching data from the previous version causing the app to think its still the old version.

Before answering that question, we want to make it super clear we do not want any of your personal information nor do you have to give it either! If you choose to use Sign in with Apple it gives us a proxy email and logs you in completely anonymously. Also, you can just use a fake email if you do not want to sign in with Apple and do not want to provide your actual email. See below Q for more information on that.

The two main reasons for signing in are customer support and troubleshooting issues for users. If you are having a problem we can help figure out what is wrong by looking at your account. Also if there is an issue we want to be able to let you know. We have never, and do not plan on sending you marketing emails of any kind.

We also have you sign in because it helps us keep the app secure. There are so many new and awesome features in the app, including social features that you can choose to take part in or not. With that, we needed to beef up security as well. The sign-in is to protect your information.

Lastly, we are looking to add a suite of new apps that you will be able to share your data across! This means that you can start a project in one app and then easily transfer it to another.

If you are really not into signing in you can also just turn on airplane mode and open the app. This gives you the stripped-down version of the app that does not connect to our server. 

If you use the sign in with Apple feature you can completely anonymize the login process. It’s very cool and does not expose your email to the app unless you want it to. Check out this article about all about Sign in With Apple and its great privacy features. Also… a note about this. We have been told that some people don’t use Sign in with Apple because it asks for two-factor identification. We highly recommend using two-factor but if it’s too much of a hassle for you, it is a setting you can disable not a requirement.

The other option is just to use a fake email. Our primary use for your email is customer support and troubleshooting. If there is an issue with the app or your account we want to get in contact with you to let you know.
