Common Help Topics
I bought Pro but content is locked.
Open Profile in the app and use Restore Purchases. Make sure the device is using the same App Store account that made the purchase. If access still looks wrong, email support with the product type, approximate purchase date, storefront country, and app version.
I need to cancel a subscription.
Subscriptions are managed by Apple. Open iOS Settings, tap your Apple Account, then Subscriptions, and choose Speak New York. Deleting the app does not cancel a subscription.
A lesson, phrase, or audio item looks wrong.
Email the lesson name, phrase, screenshot if useful, and what you expected. Content corrections are especially helpful when tone, register, neighborhood context, or Standard US backup phrasing needs review.
The app will not open or keeps crashing.
Restart the device, confirm iOS is up to date, and reopen the app. If the issue continues, email support with the app version and the last screen you reached. Diagnostics through Firebase and Sentry may help identify the crash.
Purchases, Subscriptions, and Refunds
- Speak New York Pro is available as monthly, annual, and lifetime products where offered.
- Monthly and annual Pro are auto-renewing subscriptions managed through the App Store.
- Lifetime Pro is a non-consumable purchase tied to the App Store account used for purchase.
- Use Restore Purchases in Profile after reinstalling, changing devices, or seeing locked content after purchase.
- Refunds, billing disputes, and accidental purchase requests must be handled through Apple purchase support.
Support can help investigate app-side entitlement state, but Apple controls App Store billing records, payment methods, renewals, cancellation, and refunds.
Progress, Offline Lessons, and Reminders
Speak New York stores core progress locally on your device. This includes lesson completion, slices, unlocked starter stations, saved feed posts, Taxi Card review state, favorite cards, streaks, reminder settings, and Street Cred progress.
- If progress looks stale, fully close and reopen the app first.
- If offline downloads are missing, check your network connection, available device storage, and Pro access state.
- Daily reminders are iOS-only and depend on notification permission and device settings.
- Use Reset Progress only when you intentionally want to clear local learning state on that device.
Learning Content Support
Speak New York teaches practical English for New York situations. Some phrases are city-specific, casual, or tone-sensitive, so context matters. If a phrase feels confusing, unsafe, outdated, too formal, too casual, or mismatched with the Standard US backup, send the lesson name and phrase to support.
The current catalog includes 50 lessons, 100 City Feed posts, 200 Taxi Cards, and 504 review phrases. Content updates may change lesson copy, ordering, audio, examples, or route availability over time.
Accessibility
If you have trouble with text size, contrast, navigation, audio controls, motion, VoiceOver labels, or touch targets, contact support with your device model, iOS version, and the screen involved. Accessibility issues are treated as product bugs.
Privacy and Data Questions
Read the Privacy Policy for details about local storage, Firebase, RevenueCat, Sentry, App Store purchases, analytics, diagnostics, and support records. For privacy requests, email support and describe the request clearly.
For purchase history, subscription billing, refunds, or App Store account records, use Apple's privacy and purchase tools because Apple controls those systems.
Bug Reports
A useful bug report includes:
- What you were trying to do.
- What happened instead.
- Whether it happens every time or only sometimes.
- Device model, iOS version, app version, and network state.
- A screenshot or short screen recording if it does not include private information.
