Frequently asked questions
- Where are my records stored?
- Only on your phone. Use Settings → Backup & export to save a backup file somewhere else.
- I got a new phone.
- Install Hemlio, open Settings → Backup & export → Choose backup file, and pick the backup you saved. You’ll see what’s inside before anything changes.
- A customer collected only some garments.
- Open the job → Record pickup and tick only the garments that left. The rest stay in the shop, and any balance stays visible.
- I typed a measurement wrong.
- Open the garment and tap Correct. The new value is saved with today’s date; the earlier one stays in the history.
- Does Hemlio send messages for me?
- No. It prepares the text and opens your Messages, SMS or WhatsApp app; you press send.
- A customer asked me to delete their details.
- Open the customer and choose “Delete customer and all their jobs”. Backups you saved earlier still contain them.
- How much does Hemlio cost?
- Your first 20 jobs are free. After that, unlimited new jobs need a monthly subscription on iPhone or a one-time purchase on Android. Jobs you’ve already entered always stay editable and exportable.
- I paid for Hemlio. How do I get it on a new phone?
- Sign in with the same App Store or Google Play account, open Settings → Unlock, and tap Restore purchases.
- How do I cancel my iPhone subscription?
