Quick fixes

Troubleshooting

location_on

No stories are triggering

Open Settings → Privacy & Security → Location Services, make sure Location Services is on, scroll to Travelling in Time, and set it to While Using the App. Then restart the app.

The compass is wrong

Hold the phone flat and slowly draw a figure-8 in the air for ~5 seconds to recalibrate the magnetometer. If accuracy stays above ±30°, move away from large metal objects (car dashboards, speakers).

volume_up

No sound through CarPlay

Reconnect the cable or re-pair your phone, then launch Travelling in Time from the CarPlay home screen. If the narration still doesn't play, check that Media volume (not Phone volume) is turned up on your head unit.

restart_alt

App crashes on launch

Force-quit the app (swipe up from the bottom and flick it away), then reopen. If that doesn't work, try a device restart. Still stuck? Email us with your iPhone model and iOS version.

Progress hasn't synced

Coins and badges sync via iCloud. Make sure you're signed in to the same Apple ID and that iCloud Drive is enabled for Travelling in Time under Settings → [your name] → iCloud.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Which devices are supported? expand_more

Travelling in Time runs on iPhone with iOS 16 or later. It's optimised for iPhone 12 and newer. CarPlay requires a CarPlay-compatible head unit.

Does it work outside the UK? expand_more

The initial content library is UK-focused (400,000+ locations). You can still open the app abroad for "Did You Know?" quizzes and Free Roam on the 3D map, but location-triggered stories are currently UK-only. More regions are on the roadmap.

How much mobile data does it use? expand_more

Roughly 15–30 MB per hour of typical use, similar to a podcast plus a navigation app. You can reduce data use with "Lite imagery" in Settings.

Can multiple kids share one subscription? expand_more

Yes — in-app purchases are supported via Apple Family Sharing, so up to six family members can share the same premium content.

How do I delete my data? expand_more

Because we don't hold a personal profile, the cleanest route is: delete the app from your device, and ask iCloud to remove any app-associated data. You can also email privacy [at] travellingintime [dot] com with any specific request.

I spotted a historical error. Who should I tell? expand_more

Please do! Email support [at] travellingintime [dot] com with the location name and the correction. Research corrections are reviewed weekly.
