5 Common issues

5.1 I have not used the app in a while and now cannot use the app

For security purposes, you will need to go through the setup process again if you do not use the app for 30 days.

5.2 After logging out I need to scan the QR code again

Logging out of the app completely disconnects it, you will need to go through the setup process again if you log out. If you close the app without logging out then you can log back in using your PIN or biometrics.

5.3 Some of my bookings do not display the property or room name

If you have more than 100 properties you may need to navigate to the home button on the app and scroll to the bottom of the list of properties to ensure all property data is loaded.

5.4 I cannot send messages to Expedia bookings

Currently the app can only read messages from Expedia, it does not support sending them
