Questions
Does the timer keep going when I lock the phone?
With sound on, yes. The session keeps counting on the lock screen and in the Dynamic Island, and the chimes play with the screen locked.
With sound off, iOS pauses the app once the phone locks. The lock screen counts down the phase you are in and stops at the end of it, and from there notifications carry the cues. Allow notifications when Ichidan asks, the first time you start a session, so the cues reach you. When you open the app again, the timer is where it should be.
The sound switch is in Setup, under Sound. The haptic tap stays on either way.
How do I restore my purchase?
Setup → Ichidan Pro → Restore Purchases
Tap Adjust on the home screen to open Setup, scroll to Ichidan Pro and tap it, then tap Restore Purchases. The App Store may ask for your Apple Account password.
Pro belongs to your Apple Account, so it comes back on any iPhone signed in to the same account. On the phone you bought it on, it is already there.
How does the 14-day trial work?
Open Setup → Ichidan Pro and tap Try Pro free for 14 days. The trial is a free item in the App Store called 14-day Trial, so you confirm it the usual App Store way, but it costs nothing.
Every Pro feature is on for 14 days from the moment you take it. When the trial ends, nothing is charged and there is nothing to cancel, because there is no subscription. The Pro features switch off and everything you logged stays. If you buy Pro later, your full history is there.
The trial can be taken once per Apple Account.
Does Ichidan sync with iCloud?
Yes, and it’s free. If you are signed in to iCloud, Ichidan keeps your setup and sessions in your own private iCloud database and syncs them to your other devices signed in to the same Apple Account. There is nothing to turn on in the app.
If you are not signed in to iCloud, or iCloud isn’t available, everything stays on this phone and the app works the same, without sync. The sound setting is per device and does not sync.
Can I change the six-hour gap?
Not in this version. The gap between sessions is six hours, and it can’t be changed in the app.
It is counted from when your last session finished, whatever the calendar day. So if you finish your second session late in the evening, the first one the next morning opens six hours after that. The home screen always shows when the next session opens.
How do I delete my data?
Your data is on your iPhone and, if you use iCloud, in your own private iCloud database. We have no copy, so there is nothing on our side to delete.
- To remove the iCloud copy, open the Settings app, tap your name, then iCloud, and open the list of apps using iCloud storage. Choose Ichidan and delete its data.
- To remove the data on the phone, delete the Ichidan app.
Delete the iCloud copy first if you use iCloud. Otherwise your sessions sync back when you reinstall.
Deleting data does not affect your purchase. Pro stays with your Apple Account and can be restored.
