+ What is a Backup Key and how can it be used?
The Backup Key is an alpha-numeric code that identifies your backed up settings and can be used to restore hunts back to your device if your app is uninstalled or data is erased.
Be sure to save your
Backup Key by copying it and saving it someplace, like emailing it to yourself.
Navigate to the Settings tab and select "Backup & Restore". Click on "Use old Backup Key" and you will be prompted to enter the Backup Key. Enter the saved Backup Key and click "Restore". Note: Doing a restore will delete your current hunts and settings and replace them with the hunts and settings from the backup. Your photos will not be restored using this process
+ I did a restore and I don't see any change. Why is that?
You need to restart the app in order for the restore to take effect. Once the app is restarted a
message will be displayed notifying you that the restored data is now in use.
+ I am looking for an animal that is not on the "Game Dial". How can I add new game to the dial?
+ Can I delete or modify locations, seasons, and firearms without deleting my hunts?
Yes. If you modify a location, season, or firearm the changes will be carried over to all of your hunts. If you delete any of these settings your hunts will still remain with the original setting.
