Most problems are network settings, not your phone. Start here — and if it still doesn't work, email us with your phone models and what you tried. We usually reply within a day.
Getting connected
Phones can't see each other
- Make sure all phones are on the same Wi‑Fi — or one phone's hotspot with the others joined to it.
- Open Hopwave on every phone and wait 10 seconds. Pull down on the Crew list to rescan.
- iPhone: Settings › Privacy & Security › Local Network › turn on Hopwave.
- Guest / hotel / public Wi‑Fi often blocks phones from talking to each other. Use a phone hotspot instead.
- Still nothing? Use Go live › Listen link · QR and scan it on the other phone.
A call keeps saying "Calling…"
The other phone needs Hopwave open (or running in the background). On iPhone, if the app was fully closed by the system it can't ring — ask them to open it. If it says "Can't reach their phone", check you're on the same network.
Sound is choppy or delayed
- Move closer to the router or hotspot phone.
- You › Listen settings: raise the buffer to 500 ms.
- Use the Standard quality preset instead of HD on busy Wi‑Fi.
- Far away? Turn on a relay phone at the edge of the network (Android).
Video doesn't appear
Tune in to the camera stream first; the picture follows within a few seconds. Video uses more bandwidth than audio — stay near the router, and make sure the broadcaster's camera preview is showing.
Pro & purchases
Restore Pro on a new phone
Open the Pro screen and tap Already bought it? Restore (same Apple ID / Google account). On Android it usually restores automatically.
Refunds
Purchases are handled by Apple or Google — request a refund through Apple or Google Play.
Report abuse
In the app, long‑press a live stream or chat message to Hide or Report it. You can also email manorldsapiens@gmail.com with the person's display name, what happened and when. We review reports within 24 hours.
