Answers to the most common questions about the Portiopet app. If yours isn’t here, write to us.
Questions
Where is my data stored?
Only on your iPhone. There is no account and no server, and we can’t see your data.
How do I back up my data, e.g. before switching phones?
In the app, go to Settings → Your data → “Export data”. Save the file to iCloud Drive, for example, or send it to yourself. On the new phone, tap “Restore data” right on the first screen (later under Settings → Your data). It’s free.
Why am I not getting notifications?
Turn them on in the app under Reminders → “Turn on notifications”. If you declined once, you can only turn them on in the iPhone Settings under Notifications → Portiopet. Reminders arrive at 9 am on the due date.
How do I cancel Premium?
Subscriptions are managed by Apple: iPhone Settings → your name → Subscriptions → Portiopet. Or in the app under Settings → Portiopet Premium → “Manage subscription”. Cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the period, or the subscription renews.
I bought Premium, but the app doesn’t show it.
Open Settings → Portiopet Premium and tap “Restore purchases”. Use the same Apple ID you bought it with.
What happens when Premium ends?
Your pets and entries stay fully usable. A running weight loss plan ends, and the amount to keep the weight applies again. Only adding another new pet needs Premium again.
How do I delete all my data?
Settings → Your data → “Delete all data”, or delete the app. Since nothing is stored on a server, everything is gone afterwards.
My pet is young, pregnant or ill. What does the app calculate?
We don’t calculate amounts for young animals, and no weight loss plans for pregnant, nursing or ill animals. Ask your vet. Once your pet is grown, change it under Settings → Age.
The amount doesn’t fit my pet.
Every amount is a starting point. Weigh your pet every two weeks and enter the weight: if it gained more than 2% since the weigh-in two weeks ago, the app feeds 10% less; if it lost weight, 10% more. Also check that the calories of your food are right; they’re on the bag, e.g. “380 kcal/cup”.
