Frequently asked

How do I move my collection to a new phone?

Open Settings → Backup & restore → Save a backup. Choose where to keep the file — Files, iCloud Drive, Google Drive, or anywhere else your device's file picker reaches. On the new phone, install BarVault and use Restore from a backup to pick that same file.

Where is my collection stored?

Only on your device. BarVault has no accounts and no servers, so nothing is uploaded and nothing is synced between devices. That also means a backup is the only way to recover your collection if you lose or reset the phone — it is worth saving one now and again.

I restored a backup and it replaced the wrong data

Before a restore replaces anything, BarVault writes a safety snapshot of what was already there. Contact us at the address above and we can walk you through recovering it. Do not delete and reinstall the app first — that removes the snapshot along with everything else.

Does deleting the app delete my bottles?

Yes. Removing the app removes its local database and everything in it. Save a backup first if you want to keep your collection.

How does expiration work?

Expiration is set per bottle, not per product, and there are three options: none, a fixed date, or a number of days after opening. The "expiring soon" state is worked out from the current date each time you open the app, so it stays correct on its own.

Why are my bottles grouped together?

BarVault groups by product, so several bottles of the same whisky appear as one row with a count rather than as duplicates. Tap the row to see the individual bottles, each with its own volume, opened status and remaining amount.

Can I change my advertising choices?

Yes. On iOS you can change tracking permission at any time in iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking. On Android you can reset or delete your Advertising ID in your device settings. If you are in the EEA, UK or Switzerland, BarVault also shows an Ad privacy options row in Settings that reopens the consent form so you can change or withdraw consent.

Is BarVault available on both platforms?

Yes — iOS and Android. Collections are not synced between them; use a backup file to move from one to the other.

Reporting a problem

If something is wrong, email support@andadasi.com with:

• what you were doing when it happened,
• your device model and OS version,
• the app version from Settings → About BarVault.

Screenshots help. Please do not send backup files unless we ask — they contain your whole collection.
