Troubleshooting

The app running slowly on Android? These guides cover the most common fixes.

Android performance

If The Topo started feeling slow or unresponsive after a system or app update, a full reinstall usually fixes it immediately.

App Running Slowly on Android After an Update

If The Topo lags or loads slowly on Android, low device storage is often the cause. Freeing up space usually fixes it.

If you've already tried restoring your subscription but it still won't show up, it may have been purchased with a different Google account than the one currently active on your phone.

Subscription Linked to a Different Google Account

If you purchased a subscription through Google Play but it's not showing as active in The Topo, restoring the subscription inside the app usually fixes it.

Google Play Subscription Not Showing in the App

Subscriptions purchased on Android cannot be transferred to iOS. If you've switched phones, you'll need a new subscription on your iPhone.

If you requested a password reset but the email hasn't arrived, here's what to check.
