Troubleshooting Common Issues

As with any application development, you might encounter some hiccups. Here are a few common troubleshooting tips:

• Issue with Location Detection: If your app struggles to detect your location, ensure that location permissions are enabled for the app in your device settings.
• Data Refresh Issues: If the app isn’t refreshing data every 15 minutes, check your internet connection and make sure the app is running in the background.
• Offline Functionality: Remember that the app must download data before you can use it offline. If it’s not working offline, try re-downloading the data.
