App Not Working or Loading

Quick fixes for common app problems

Updated over 3 months ago

If the Chest app isn't working properly, there are a few things you can try to get it running again.

Quick fixes

Start with these simple steps:

  • Close and reopen the app – fully close the app (not just minimise) and open it again

  • Check your internet connection – make sure you're connected to Wi-Fi or mobile data

  • Restart your device – turn your phone off and on again

  • Update the app – check the App Store or Google Play Store for any available updates

These steps resolve most issues.

Clear the app cache

If the quick fixes don't work, try clearing the app cache:

On Android: Go to Settings → Apps → Chest → Storage → Clear Cache

On iPhone: Offload the app by going to Settings → General → iPhone Storage → Chest → Offload App, then reinstall from the App Store

Reinstall the app

If problems persist, try deleting and reinstalling the app. Don't worry – your account and pension are stored securely on our servers, not on your device. You won't lose any data. Simply download the app again from the App Store or Google Play Store and log in as usual.
