There are other aspects that can impact functionality. Below are some, but not all, things that can impact the app working:

  • Apple ID is current and executed on the phone
  • Security settings can prevent apps from working. These are user-driven, and we are unable to support individual users with unusual or custom security settings. E.g., VPN software, malware blockers, etc.
  • Wifi or Connectivity issues. The Speak2 app has a lot of data in it; sometimes, it simply loads slowly, and if it is an old phone with low memory, it can take a long time to load.
  • Related to iPods or iPhone 5, while we support this, these are rare in the market and nearly impossible to test.
