Syncing Data & Images

Keep your app up to date and ready to go

Written by Support

To get the most out of your app, especially offline, you’ll need to sync your data and images from the website. This ensures everything from programmes to visuals is available on your device when you need it.


First-time setup

When you log into the app for the first time:

  • The app will automatically begin syncing data (if connected to Wi-Fi)


Important: Prevent your iPad from locking

If your device locks during a sync, it may fail.

To avoid this:

  1. Go to Settings

  2. Tap Display & Brightness

  3. Select Auto-Lock

  4. Set to Never


Manually syncing data

You can trigger a sync at any time:

  1. Tap the settings icon in the top-right corner

  2. Click the Data tab

You’ll also see a “Sync Automatically” toggle:

  • ON → App syncs every 24 hours

  • OFF → You must manually sync to receive updates


What happens during a data sync?

  • A syncing screen will appear

  • The app will be temporarily unavailable

  • You’ll see updates like:

    • Programmes

    • Series

    • Meetings

Once complete, you’ll be automatically returned to the app.


Keeping your app updated

It’s good practice to run regular syncs.

  • The app only pulls new or updated content

  • It does not re-download everything

  • Syncs are usually quick and efficient

If something changes on the website, just run a quick sync to update your app.


Deleting data (for troubleshooting)

Within the Settings screen, you can also delete:

  • All data (programmes, lists, meetings)

  • All images

  • All downloaded videos

This is not part of normal use, but may be helpful if:

  • Data appears incorrect

  • You’re troubleshooting an issue

You might also delete downloaded videos if handing the iPad to someone else who shouldn’t access restricted content.


Local Server IP field

You may notice a Local Server IP field in settings.

  • This is only used when streaming from a QNAP at events

  • If you’re not using a QNAP, you can safely ignore this field


Tips

  • Always sync before events or meetings

  • Use a strong Wi-Fi connection for faster syncing

  • Keep Auto-Lock off during sync

  • Run a quick sync after making website updates
