Common questions
How do I share the diary with my partner?
Open the Family tab and tap Invite. Send them the 8 character code. They install Kinboard, sign in with their email and enter the code. Each code works once, so make a new one for each person.
Do I have to make an account?
No. Choose "Just use it on this iPhone for now" when you first open Kinboard. You can sign in later if you decide to share, and everything you've added comes with you.
I didn't get my sign-in code.
Check your spam or junk folder, and that the email address is spelt correctly. Codes can take a minute to arrive. If it still hasn't come, wait a few minutes and ask for another.
Kinboard found the wrong date in a letter.
Before anything is saved you'll see what was found, so you can fix or untick it. If something wrong was already added, open it and edit or delete it. Deleted things can be put back from Settings, Recently deleted.
Someone deleted something by mistake.
Tap Undo straight away, or go to Settings, Recently deleted. Anything deleted in the last 30 days is there, including things deleted on other phones.
How do I restore Pro on a new phone?
Settings, Pro, Restore purchase. Make sure you're signed in to the same Apple Account you bought it with.
How do I get a refund?
Apple handles payments and refunds. Go to reportaproblem.apple.com and choose Kinboard.
How do I move to a new iPhone?
If you've signed in, sign in on the new phone and your family's diary comes back. If you use Kinboard without an account, go to Settings, Save a backup, send the file to your new phone and open it with Kinboard.
How do I delete my account?
Settings, Delete my account. Your account is removed straight away. If you're the last grown-up in your family, the family's shared data, photos and letters are deleted too. You can also email us and we'll do it for you.
Can I hide the Chores tab?
Yes. Settings, then switch off Chores.
My widget isn't updating.
Open Kinboard once so it can refresh, then check Settings, General, Background App Refresh is on for Kinboard. If it's still stuck, remove the widget and add it again.
Requirements
iPhone with iOS 17 or later. Sharing needs an internet connection; everything else works offline.
