Troubleshooting the Timecloud Mobile App
This guide covers common issues you may encounter with the Timecloud mobile app and how to resolve them.
Location Permission Issues
Problem: The app cannot capture your GPS location when clocking in.
Solution:
-
Make sure location permissions are enabled for Timecloud:
-
iPhone: Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services > Timecloud > While Using the App
-
Android: Settings > Apps > Timecloud > Permissions > Location > Allow only while using the app
-
-
If you dismissed the location prompt, go to your device settings and grant permission manually.
-
Restart the app after changing permissions.
No Internet Connection
Problem: The app shows limited functionality or data is not syncing.
Solution:
-
The app works in offline mode for clock-ins, clock-outs, and forms.
-
Other features (roster, leave requests) require an active internet connection.
-
Once you are back online, the app will automatically sync your offline data.
-
If data is not syncing, try:
-
Closing and reopening the app
-
Checking your Wi-Fi or mobile data connection
-
Restarting your device
-
Login Errors
Problem: You cannot log in to the app.
Solution:
-
Double-check your email address and password (or PIN).
-
If you have forgotten your password, tap Forgot Password and follow the reset instructions.
-
Make sure you have an active internet connection — login requires connectivity.
-
If your account is locked, contact your company admin to unlock it.
-
If using multi-factor authentication, ensure your authenticator app is set up correctly.
Push Notification Setup
Problem: You are not receiving push notifications.
Solution:
-
Verify notifications are enabled for Timecloud:
-
iPhone: Settings > Notifications > Timecloud > Allow Notifications
-
Android: Settings > Apps > Timecloud > Notifications > Enabled
-
-
Make sure your app is up to date — older versions may not support the latest notification features.
-
Check that your company has enabled push notifications as a delivery channel.
-
If notifications are still not working, try:
-
Logging out and logging back in
-
Uninstalling and reinstalling the app
-
Contacting your admin to confirm your notification settings
