Troubleshooting

Why is my App Store purchase not active?

Make an App Store purchase of Wardterm Pro active: use the same Apple Account and the same Wardterm account you bought with, then choose Restore purchases.

What you see

You bought Pro in the app, and the app still shows Free, or one of these messages:

  • Waiting for approval. Pro starts as soon as the purchase is approved.
  • The purchase could not be confirmed. Try Restore purchases.
  • No subscription to restore for this Apple Account.

Why it happens

A purchase belongs to the Apple Account that paid, and Pro goes to the Wardterm account that was signed in when you bought. A purchase can also wait for approval, for example when a family organizer approves purchases.

What to do

  1. Make sure the device uses the same Apple Account you paid with.
  2. Sign in to the same Wardterm account you used when you bought.
  3. In the Profile tab, open Wardterm Pro and choose Restore purchases.
  4. If it says Waiting for approval, ask the organizer of your family group to approve it.
  5. Check that the subscription is active: on iPhone or iPad, Settings, your name, Subscriptions.
  6. A plan bought on the website is not an App Store purchase: it is in the account area of this website. See Plans and billing.
