What to include in your message
- What you were trying to do, and what happened instead

- A screenshot if the problem is something you can see
Please do not include your Apple ID password or payment card details in a support email. We will never ask for them.
Common questions
Is Slowbend available yet?
Not yet. It is in development. This page is here ahead of release so it is ready when the app is.
Can I stop in the middle of a session?
Yes, any time. The session saves what you actually held rather than what the routine was going to be. There is also an Ease off button next to Skip on every hold, and a +15s if you want longer.
Does it work without a signal?
Yes. Every routine, drawing and sound is bundled in the app, and nothing is downloaded. Airplane mode changes nothing.
Where are the streaks?
There are none, on purpose. No flame, no 30-day challenge, no level and nothing to break. The History tab is a plain list of what you did, and a gap in it is just a gap.
What is a checkpoint?
A measurement you take yourself with a tape — Knee to Wall, Seated Reach or Overhead Wall — and type in. The app stores your first number and your latest and shows the difference. It does not score you and does not tell you what the number means.
How do I turn the daily reminder off?
Settings → Daily reminder. It is off until you turn it on, it is scheduled by your own device rather than sent from a server, and it only ever says “Time to stretch.”
How do I delete my data?
Settings → Delete my data clears your sessions, your checkpoint numbers and your settings from the device. Deleting the app does the same thing. There is no server copy, because there is no server. See the Privacy Policy.
How do I cancel a subscription?
Subscriptions are managed by Apple, not inside Slowbend: Settings → your name → Subscriptions on iOS. Purchases are not enabled in the current version, so there is nothing to cancel yet.
Something hurt while I was stretching.
Stop. Stretching should feel like a mild pull, never pain, and the app cannot see you. If pain is sharp, sudden or does not settle, speak to a doctor. Slowbend gives general stretching routines and is not medical care.
