DocOCR FAQ

How to fix app crashes or freezing during scanning?

If your app crashes or freezes when scanning a document, don't worry! This is often caused by a temporary issue with your device’s memory. Here’s a simple step to resolve the problem:
Step 1: Restart Your iPhone or iPad
Restarting your device clears the system memory and can help fix various performance issues, including app crashes and freezing. Here's how to do it:
1. Press and hold the power button (and volume button on some models) until the "slide to power off" slider appears.
2. Slide to turn off your device.
3. Wait for about 30 seconds, then press and hold the power button again to turn your device back on.

Once your device has restarted, open the app again and try scanning the document. This should help the app function smoothly without freezing or crashing.
If the issue persists after restarting your device, you may want to check for app updates or consider reinstalling the app.

In-app purchase issue

If you're encountering a situation where in-app purchases are not allowed or are not working in your app, Please follow the steps below:
1. Open the "Settings" app.
2. Go to "Screen Time" > "Content & Privacy Restrictions" > "iTunes and App Store Purchases"
3. Tap "In-app Purchase" and select "Allow".

Note: You need to log in to the Apple ID which was used for the app download.

Why isn't the app sending emails?

If the app isn't sending emails, it could be that the documents are stuck in the Outbox folder of your Mail app. A simple restart of your iPhone/iPad usually resolves this issue and allows the emails to send properly.

Google service verification issue

If you see the message "Google hasn't verified this app" when trying to use Google service, it's due to recent changes in Google's SDK verification process. As a result, the app is currently flagged as "unverified." This does not affect the functionality of the app, and you can still proceed with your tasks by following the steps below:
1. Tap the "Advanced" button.
2. Tap the "Go to DocOCR (unverified)" button.
3. Proceed to the login page and continue as usual.

We are aware of this issue and are working with Google's OAuth team to get the app verified. Once the process is complete, the warning will no longer appear. Rest assured, the app is safe to use, and your data is secure. We appreciate your patience as we resolve this matter.
