Map Not Loading Properly

Wait a moment

Map tiles may take a few seconds to load from local storage, especially on first launch.

Check device storage

  1. Go to Settings > General > iPhone Storage
  2. If storage is nearly full, free up space
  3. EUnify needs space to decompress map data

Reset map view

  1. In the Explore tab, tap the compass icon to reset orientation
  2. Use the zoom buttons or pinch to reset zoom level

Search Not Finding Results

Check your spelling

Try the full institution name or common abbreviations (e.g., "TU Delft" or "Delft University of Technology").

Remove filters

  1. Tap the filter icon
  2. Tap "Clear All" to remove active filters
  3. Search again

Try different terms

  • Search by city name
  • Search by country
  • Search by program name

Can't Save Comparisons or Checklists

Check storage space

Your device may be running low on storage. Free up space and try again.

Force quit and retry

Close the app completely and reopen it, then try saving again.

Restart the app

If the problem persists, restart your device.

Profile Data Lost

Was the app deleted?

If you deleted EUnify, all local data is removed. You'll need to set up your profile again.

Restore from backup

If you previously exported your data:

  1. Go to Settings > Privacy & Data
  2. Tap "Import Data"
  3. Select your backup file

iOS restore

If you restored your iPhone from an iCloud or iTunes backup, your EUnify data should be included (unless you opted out of app data in backups).

Tours Not Playing

Check for the tour button

Not all institutions have scripted tours. Look for the "Take Tour" button on the detail page.

Wait for content to load

Tour content loads from local storage. Give it a moment on first access.

Try a different tour

City and country tours are always available. Try those if a specific campus tour isn't working.

Notifications Not Working

Check notification permissions

  1. Go to iOS Settings > EUnify
  2. Tap Notifications
  3. Enable "Allow Notifications"

Check in-app settings

  1. In EUnify, go to Profile > Settings
  2. Find Notification settings
  3. Enable the notifications you want

iPad Layout Issues

Rotate your device

Some layouts work better in landscape mode on iPad.

Check Split View

If using Split View or Slide Over, EUnify may display in compact mode. Give it more screen space for the full iPad layout.

Performance Issues

Close other apps

Free up memory by closing apps you're not using.

Restart your device

A fresh start often resolves performance issues.

Check for updates

Make sure you have the latest version of both EUnify and iOS.
