Common Questions

Q: Can I assign tasks to myself?

  • Tasks assigned to you by them: they can see
  • Self-assigned tasks: you choose whether to share

Troubleshooting

Task Not Appearing

  1. Check the task's schedule (is it due today?)
  2. Ensure the task isn't paused
  3. Pull down to refresh the list
  4. Verify you're viewing the correct filter (My Tasks vs. All)

Points Not Awarded

Can't Edit Partner's Task

You can only edit tasks you created. If you want to change a task assigned to you:

  • Discuss changes directly

Streak Reset Unexpectedly

Streaks may reset if:

  • You missed a required completion
  • The app wasn't updated with your completion in time
  • There was a sync issue (try refreshing)

Contact support if you believe your streak was reset in error.
