App Issues
Targeted troubleshooting for client-side issues across iOS, Android, web, and H5.
App crashes on startup. Work through this checklist:
- Clear cache from your device settings (iOS Settings → Alphio → Offload / Android Settings → Apps → Alphio → Storage → Clear cache).
- Reinstall the app if clearing cache doesn't help.
- Check OS version — supported versions are iOS 15+, Android 8+.
- Check device storage — extremely low storage can cause crashes; free up some space.
- Collect a crash log and submit via Settings →
/account/feedbackso engineering can correlate the crash with build telemetry.
If a specific action consistently triggers the crash, note the steps in your report — reproducible crashes are far easier to fix than intermittent ones.
Web app shows blank screen. Blank screens are usually a stale-asset or cache issue:
- Hard refresh — Ctrl+Shift+R (Windows / Linux) or Cmd+Shift+R (macOS).
- Clear site data for
alphio.aiin browser settings. - Try incognito / private mode to bypass extensions and cached cookies.
- Disable ad-block / privacy extensions on
alphio.ai— they sometimes break app shells. - Try a different browser to isolate browser-specific bugs.
If the issue persists across browsers, file a report via /account/feedback with the browser, OS, and approximate timestamp.
Push notifications not arriving. Push depends on several layers — check each:
- Channel toggles at
/account/notifications-settings— confirm the relevant category (AI_TRADE / AI_ALERT / AI_TASK / NEWSWIRE / PROMO) is enabled. - OS-level push permission — iOS Settings → Alphio → Notifications / Android Settings → Apps → Alphio → Notifications must be granted.
- Do Not Disturb / Focus modes — these silently suppress pushes; check your device's DND state.
- Telegram bind status — for Telegram-routed alerts, confirm the bind at
/get-started/connect-telegramis healthy. - Battery optimization (Android) — aggressive battery savers can kill background notification listeners. Whitelist Alphio.
If all of the above check out and pushes still don't arrive, file a report with the last time you successfully received one and the device model / OS.
Slow performance / lag. Performance issues are usually narrow:
- Heavy chart or chat history — long sessions with many charts / messages can slow the page. Refresh to reset state.
- Background tabs — many open Alphio tabs share state; close extras.
- Mobile RAM pressure — close other heavy apps; reboot the device if needed.
- Network — slow / lossy network causes loading delays that look like lag. Test on a different network.
If a specific surface is consistently slow on a healthy device + network, file a report including the surface, device, OS, and a description of what feels slow.
Can't update via App Store / Play Store. Update failures are usually store-side:
- App Store / Play Store cache — sign out and back in to the store, or clear its cache (Android: Settings → Apps → Play Store → Storage → Clear cache).
- Country / region — Alphio may not be available in every store region; if you changed regions, your store entitlement may not match.
- Old OS version — newer Alphio builds require newer OS versions. Update the OS first.
- Storage / network — large updates need both. Free up space and use Wi-Fi.
If the store shows the update available but it won't install after multiple retries, the next-best path is uninstall + reinstall (you'll need to log in again afterwards). Your account state lives server-side, so reinstall doesn't lose data.
H5 hot update didn't apply. The H5 client hot-updates within ~5 minutes of a new release, but the update needs an opportunity to load:
- Pull-to-refresh forces a fresh asset fetch immediately.
- Close and re-open the H5 page if pull-to-refresh isn't available on the surface.
- Clear the H5's cache in the host app's settings if the host app exposes that option.
If you're confident a new release shipped (release notes published, others see new features) but you still see the old UI after multiple refreshes, file a report with the H5 host (which app / which channel) and a screenshot of the version label on the page.
If you need information not on this page, you can query the docs dynamically by sending a GET request with the ask query parameter:
