Help & FAQ

Getting started

How do I install it?
It's a web app — no app store needed. Open the app, then:
Android (Chrome): menu ⋮ → Install app / Add to Home screen.
iPhone (Safari): Share → Add to Home Screen.
Computer (Chrome/Edge): click the install icon in the address bar.
It then opens like a normal app and works offline.
Do I need an account or internet?
No account, and no internet after it loads once. Everything runs on your device.
Switching from another invoicing app? Can I bring my data?
Almost always, yes — two ways:
Database backup (.db): if your old app makes a .db backup file, go to Settings → Import backup and pick it. Supported legacy databases load in one tap — customers, items, invoices and history, instantly.
CSV mapping: export customers/items from any app or spreadsheet as CSV, then use Settings → CSV import. You match the columns once and it pulls everything in.
Not sure if your old app's file will work? Email a sample and we'll check it for you.
Starting fresh?
Tap Start fresh on the welcome screen. It sets up payment terms, payment methods, invoice numbering and a sample invoice so you're not staring at blank screens. Add your company in Settings → Company profile, then make your first invoice from Home → Invoices → +.

Your data & backups

Where is my data stored?
On your device, in a single SQLite database you own — not on our servers. We can't see it, sell it, or lose it. That also means backups are your responsibility, and we make that easy:
How do I back up?
Two ways, use either or both:
• Settings → Sync & Backup → connect your own Dropbox or Google Drive — it keeps a synced copy automatically and across your devices.
• Settings → Backup / Export .db → saves a file you can keep anywhere. Do this weekly; the app reminds you after 7 days.
How do I restore or move to a new phone?
Install the app on the new device → Settings → Import .db → pick your latest backup (or reconnect the same Dropbox/Drive folder). One tap, everything's back.
iPhone users, important: if you don't open the app for about 7 days, iOS can clear browser-stored data. Connect Sync or export a backup so a restore is one tap — don't rely on the on-device copy alone.

Buying & support

What does it cost?
$49 one-time for the founding license (first 25 techs), then $79. No subscription, no monthly fee. You get lifetime use, free updates to the core app, and email support for 12 months (24–48h, business days; best-effort after). Optional add-ons — AI diagnosis, hosted sync, the annual code refresh — are separate and cancellable anytime; the app works forever without them.
Refunds?
14-day money-back guarantee, no questions — email us within 14 days and we refund in full. See the refund policy.
How do I get help?
Email support@faultexpert.com — you're talking to the field tech who built it and invoices his own jobs with it. Target reply time: 24–48 hours (business days).
