Common Mobile App Issues Overview

Mobile apps are powerful tools, but even the best can occasionally run into problems. With signNow, most issues are easy to fix once you know where to look. Common challenges include trouble installing or updating the app, login or authentication errors, syncing delays (especially after offline signing), problems with adding signatures or fillable fields, and concerns about account management or data deletion. Understanding these categories helps you pinpoint solutions faster and ensures your e-signature workflows remain uninterrupted.

Troubleshooting App Installation and Updates

If you’re having trouble installing or updating the signNow app, start by checking your device’s operating system version and available storage. Make sure you’re downloading the app from the official App Store (iOS) or Google Play Store (Android). Sometimes, a simple restart of your device can resolve installation glitches. If updates aren’t appearing, try refreshing the app store page or clearing the app store cache. For persistent issues, uninstalling and reinstalling the app often helps. Always ensure you have a stable internet connection during installation or updates to avoid incomplete downloads.

Resolving Login and Authentication Problems

Login issues can be frustrating, but they’re usually easy to resolve. Double-check your email and password for typos, and ensure your internet connection is stable. If you’ve forgotten your password, use the 'Forgot Password' link to reset it. For accounts with dual-factor authentication enabled, make sure you have access to your SMS or email for verification codes. If you’re still unable to log in, try restarting the app or your device. Occasionally, clearing the app’s cache or updating to the latest version can resolve persistent authentication errors.

Fixing Document Sync and Offline Signing Issues

One of signNow’s standout features is the ability to sign documents offline and sync them later. If your changes aren’t appearing after reconnecting to the internet, don’t worry — syncing is automatic, but it may take a moment depending on your connection speed and the number of documents. Ensure your device is online and the app is open; sometimes, simply refreshing the document list triggers a sync. If you continue to experience delays, try logging out and back in, or restarting the app. For step-by-step guidance on offline signing, check out our detailed instructions here.

Addressing Signature and Fillable Field Errors

If you’re having trouble adding or editing signatures and fillable fields, make sure you’re using the latest version of the app. The signNow mobile editor allows you to insert, move, resize, or remove fields with just a tap. For example, to add a field, tap the document and select from the quick menu or the full list of fields. If a field isn’t behaving as expected, try removing and re-adding it. For signature issues, you can clear and redraw your signature at any time. For more detailed instructions, visit our signature editing guide.

Managing Account and Data Deletion Concerns

If you need to delete your account or clear your data, signNow makes it straightforward — but remember, this action is permanent. Due to privacy regulations, you must log in to your account to initiate deletion. On iOS, go to the Account section and select 'Delete Account & Clear Data.' On Android, tap the Account icon and choose the same option. Before proceeding, ensure you’ve backed up any important documents, as all data will be permanently erased.

Improving App Performance and Stability

If the app feels slow or crashes unexpectedly, there are several steps you can take to improve performance. First, close any unused apps running in the background to free up memory. Make sure your device’s operating system and the signNow app are both up to date. Clearing the app’s cache can resolve many minor glitches. If you notice issues after a recent update, try restarting your device. For persistent problems, uninstalling and reinstalling the app can often restore smooth operation. Regularly updating your app ensures you benefit from the latest performance enhancements and bug fixes.

Contacting Support from the Mobile App

If you’ve tried the above steps and still need help, reaching out to support is easy. Open the signNow app and navigate to the menu (usually the three horizontal lines or sidebar). Look for the 'Help' or 'Support' option at the bottom of the menu. Here, you can access FAQs, submit a support request, or find contact details for direct assistance.
