FAQ

1. Why did I get screened out – Garmin

Thank you for getting in touch, we appreciate you taking the time to contact us. This is a beta testing phase and at the moment we are focusing on the two most owned watch/trackers which are Apple watches and Fitbits. Also, Garmin trackers in the study don’t supply the data frequently enough for the app to be able to work properly. Apologies for this – it’s very frustrating (a number of the researchers own Garmins too), but it’s out of our control.

2. Why did I get screened out – other trackers

Thank you for getting in touch, we appreciate you taking the time to contact us. This is a beta testing phase and at the moment we are focusing on the two most owned watch/trackers which are Apple watches and Fitbits. This means that at this stage we unfortunately aren’t able to get participants who own other types of trackers in the study. Apologies for this – it’s very frustrating to not let everyone participate. We hope to be able to open it up to a wider audience in the later stages of the app development.

3. An issue with installing app via TestFlight (iOS Users)

Thank you for getting in touch with us. Can I please confirm that you clicked on this link to enrol? https://testflight.apple.com/join/mjJohAxQ This shouldn’t ask for an invitation code if you download it via this link, but then again, computers never seem to do what we want. If that isn’t the issue, please send a screenshot or a cut and paste of the error message and we’ll do our best to get things happening. Thanks again for letting us know.

4. My account has not been invited (Android Users)

Thanks for taking the time to contact us and for being so speedy with letting us know this issue. We’ve just learnt from our Android developer that the email address needs to be the one that you use to login to the Play Store. They’ve also said that hotmail and outlook email addresses don’t work well with the Play store. Just one of the many fun spanners we’ve encountered in the beta testing so far. Can you please advise what email address you use to access the Play Store?

5. The app is crashing/ closing down – Part One

Thanks for taking the time to contact us and for letting us know this is happening for you. This is one of the joys of being a beta tester! If the app is crashing or closing down, can you please try: Fully close MoveMentor by swiping up (here are instructions if you aren’t sure how to close an app). If it is still crashing, uninstall MoveMentor (here are instructions on how to delete an app) To reinstall MoveMentor, go to TestFlight and MoveMentor should be listed as an option to Open. If you are still having problems, please get in touch and we will troubleshoot this further. Thank you again for letting us know and please let us know if you are still having issues. I hope we can get things working for you soon!

6. The app is crashing/ closing down – Part Two

Your iPhone model e.g. iPhone 12 (here are instructions to locate your iPhone model). and iOS version e.g. iOS 15 (here are instructions to find your iPhone software version). 4.
