Troubleshooting

Most problems come down to connectivity, permissions, or image quality. Work through the relevant section below; if an issue persists, see Contacting support.

  • Confirm you have an internet connection.
  • Sign out and sign back in to refresh your session.
  • If sign-in sends you back to the start, ask your team to confirm your account and tenant access.

The camera shows a black screen or will not open

Section titled “The camera shows a black screen or will not open”
  • Grant the app camera permission: device Settings → Apps → (the app) → Permissions → Camera.
  • Close any other app that may be using the camera.
  • Restart the app, then the device.
  • Test the device’s built-in camera app to rule out a hardware issue.
  • Hold the phone steady and wait for autofocus before tapping the shutter.
  • Move to even, well-lit surroundings — avoid glare, shadows, and low light.
  • Keep the label aligned with the overlay, centred, and square to the camera.
  • Clean the camera lens.
  • See Capturing good images for the full guidance.

A capture uploads but no result comes back

Section titled “A capture uploads but no result comes back”
  • Check your connection; switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data.
  • Make sure the product is clearly visible and well framed, then retry.
  • If the app reports a timeout, the result may still finish processing — check the dashboard later for the final outcome.
  • If your connection is poor, turn on offline mode, keep capturing, and sync later from Event History — see Working offline.
  • Verify you have a stable connection.
  • Disable any VPN that may be interfering.
  • Try a different network, or move to a stronger signal.

This usually reflects image quality rather than the product. Review your captures against Capturing good images, keep capture conditions consistent, and report recurring cases with a few example scans.

  • Close other running apps and turn off battery saver.
  • Restart the app, then the device.
  • Make sure your device meets the requirements and the app is up to date.
  • If a release is required, install it from the Play Store when prompted.
  • If data looks out of date, give live sections a moment to update, or refresh the page.
  • If you cannot see certain data or the export option, your role may not include it — contact your administrator.
  • Small differences between Live Events and Analytics are normal: one is real-time, the other is summarised.

Collect what the support team needs to reproduce the issue:

  • Device model and operating-system version.
  • App version (shown in the app’s Settings screen, e.g. Version 1.1.0-40).
  • The time the issue happened, and a short description of expected vs. actual behaviour.
  • Screenshots or a sample captured image, where relevant.
  • The network you were on (Wi-Fi, mobile, or corporate).

If the issue persists after the steps above, raise a support ticket from inside the product — Settings → Support ticket in the mobile app, or Support → New Ticket in the dashboard — and include the information above. You can follow the reply on the dashboard. See Getting support.
