FAQ’s                              

I bought something in the app, but it’s asking me to pay again.                                                                If you still have the same Apple ID or Google Play account as when you bought it, this is likely a connection issue, and you’ll need to restore your purchases. To do this, open a photo in the app, tap the shop icon at the top, scroll down to the bottom of the page and tap “restore purchases”.

My Instagram account isn’t connecting, what should I do?                                                                         Go to the grid view + click the settings icon on the left hand side + click the down arrow next to the account you are having issues with + click ‘logout’ + click ‘login’. This will save any planned posts and should connect your account. If this does not work please reach out to our support team by filling out a support request below. 

I’ve reinstalled the app or gotten a new device. How do I restore my purchases?                        Make sure you have a solid internet connection and are connected to the account that made the purchase. Open a photo in the app, tap the ‘Shop’ button, scroll to the bottom of the page and press ‘Restore Purchases’. Note: You can only restore your purchases if you’re using the same Apple ID or Google Play account that you used to originally purchase the items.

I have switched devices between Apple and Android. How can I get my purchases back?
Since Android and Apple are totally different platforms, and purchases are localized to the account that you purchased them with, there is no way to transfer purchases between them. If you would like you could request a refund for your purchases that you had made prior to switching, and you could repurchase them on your new device! Here is how you can request a refund.

Apple: Apple handles all refunds, so to request a refund you just need to go to support.apple.com + click ‘Billing and Subscriptions’ + click ‘Request a Refund’ + from there you will be guided through the process.

Android: To request a refund you just need to go to support.google.com/googleplay and from there you will be guided through the process.

Do you have a desktop version of the app? I have tried to login on the website and it’s not recognizing my login information!
We don’t have a desktop version of the app! The login on our website is for customers to view/download their orders that were made on our ACS | Desktop marketplace before it was closed.

Some of my packs are showing up as black squares. How do I fix this?                                                  This is likely due to a connection error when downloading and can be fixed by following these steps: Open ‘Manage Packs’, which is at the end of the filter list on the main edit screen + hide the pack that is showing up black + hit the download cloud for the pack that you just hid.

This is often caused by a connection issue and can usually be fixed by uninstalling + reinstalling the app. One note about uninstalling + reinstalling is that it will clear your saved features and grid planning, so we suggest taking screenshots of things so that you can easily put it back together after you reinstall!

How to uninstall + reinstall successfully:

1. Make sure that you are using a strong internet connection

2. Uninstall app

3. Reinstall from the App Store

4. Restore purchases by clicking the ‘shop’ icon, scrolling to the bottom of the page, clicking ‘restore purchases’
