2. Account & sign-in
I can’t sign in with my email and password.
Tap “Forgot password?” on the login screen to receive a reset link. If the email
never arrives, check your spam folder, then write to
admin@zym8.com with the email you registered with.
Sign in with Apple isn’t working.
Make sure you are signed into iCloud on your iPhone and that Sign in with Apple is enabled for
ZYM under Settings → Apple ID → Sign-In & Security → Sign in with Apple.
If the problem persists, sign out and back into iCloud, then try again.
I never received the verification email after signing up.
Verification emails come from a no-reply ZYM address and can land in spam or the
“Promotions” tab. Tap “Resend verification email” in the login screen,
or write to us if you keep missing it.
3. AI coach
What is the difference between ZJ and LC?
ZJ is the encouraging, habit-first coach. LC is the strict, execution-first coach. You can
switch between them at any time from your profile.
The coach is taking a long time to reply.
Coach replies are processed asynchronously, usually within 10–60 seconds. If a reply
hasn’t arrived after several minutes, send a follow-up message — that retries the
request. If it keeps failing, please contact us.
Can the coach see my chats with friends?
No. The coach can only see the conversations you have with it directly, plus the profile
information you provide during onboarding. Direct messages and group chats with friends are
private.
4. Apple Health & leaderboard
How does step tracking work?
With your permission, ZYM reads your daily step count from Apple Health and syncs it so your
friends’ leaderboard updates. ZYM only reads step count — never heart rate, sleep,
workouts, or any other HealthKit data — and never writes back to Apple Health.
I declined Apple Health permission. Can I change my mind?
Yes. Open the iOS Settings app, go to Privacy & Security → Health → ZYM and turn
on the Steps category. Then return to ZYM and tap Sync inside the leaderboard.
My friends’ steps look out of date.
Friends’ step counts update when they open the ZYM app and tap Sync. If a friend
hasn’t opened the app recently, their leaderboard entry will be stale.
5. Friends, groups & community
How do I add a friend?
Open the Friends area and tap the add icon. You can search by username, scan a friend-connect
QR code, or share your own QR code with someone in person.
Can I leave a group?
Yes. Open the group, tap the group name at the top to open group details, then choose
“Leave Group”.
How do reactions and comments work on posts?
Tap a post to open it. The heart button adds a reaction; the comment field lets you reply.
Mentions with @ trigger a notification for that user.
6. Safety & moderation
How do I report another user?
Open the user’s profile from any message thread or community post, then tap
Report. Our team reviews reports within 24 hours and takes action when the
behaviour violates our community guidelines.
How do I block someone?
Open the user’s profile and tap Block. After confirming, you will no
longer see their messages or posts, and they will not be able to start a new conversation with
you. Blocks are silent — the other user is not notified.
I see content that should not be on ZYM.
Please report it using the in-app Report button, then email
admin@zym8.com with details so we can investigate
quickly.
7. Plans & billing
What do the plans include?
Free, Core and Plus differ in daily live calls, call length, coach messages, camera use on live calls, form
analyses per day, how long your coach remembers, and how adaptive your training plan is. The current numbers
are always on the plans screen in the app and at zym8.com/pricing.
Is there a free trial?
Yes — every paid plan starts with 3 days free. You add a card at sign-up but nothing is
charged until the trial ends. Cancel before it ends and you pay nothing. One trial per customer.
How do I subscribe?
Open the plans screen — the plan pill on the Coach tab in the app, or Profile then View plans
on the web — and choose a plan. Checkout happens on our website through Stripe. If you start in the iOS app you
will be taken to your browser to finish; that is expected.
Why can’t I buy a plan?
Usually one of these:
- You are outside the United States. Paid plans are US-only for now, and in the iOS app the
purchase option appears only on the United States App Store storefront.
- You chose annual and that plan is not sold annually yet. The page says so — switch to
monthly.
- You are already subscribed. Use the billing portal to switch plans rather than buying
again; buying again would start a second subscription.
How do I cancel?
Open the billing portal from the plans screen — Manage or cancel — or email
admin@zym8.com. Cancelling stops future renewals. You keep the paid
features until the end of the period you already paid for, and then the account returns to the free plan.
Nothing is deleted: your training history stays.
How do I move between Core and Plus?
Through the billing portal, not by buying the other plan — and once you subscribe we stop offering you the
purchase links, so the portal is the only route. Changes apply immediately either way, and Stripe prorates:
moving up charges the difference for the rest of the period, moving down credits you for the time you had
already paid for. Switching monthly to annual, or back, works the same way.
One thing to know: changing plans during your free trial ends the trial and starts billing straight
away. If you want the full three days first, wait until the trial finishes before switching.
Can I get a refund?
The 3-day trial exists so you can decide before paying, so charges are generally non-refundable and there is no
pro-rata refund for cancelling part-way through a period. We do refund billing mistakes — charged after
cancelling, charged twice, charged an amount different from the one shown at checkout, or a paid feature
substantially unavailable for a long stretch. Email admin@zym8.com from your
account address within 30 days of the charge, with the date and amount; we aim to reply within 5 business days.
Approved refunds go back to the original card through Stripe, and your bank decides how quickly it appears.
I hit a daily limit — what now?
Allowances free up on a rolling 24-hour basis, so you can wait, or move to a plan with a higher limit. Form
analyses count both the clips you upload and any your coach kept during a live call. Reaching a limit is a
limit, not a fault, and is not grounds for a refund.
Where are my receipts?
Stripe emails a receipt for every charge and keeps your invoice history in the billing portal. We never see or
store your card details — see the Privacy Policy.
Does Apple handle my subscription?
No. Paid plans are sold on our website rather than as an in-app purchase, so they do not appear in your Apple
subscriptions and Apple cannot cancel or refund them. Contact us instead.
8. Delete my account
You can delete your ZYM account from inside the iOS app. Open the Profile tab, scroll to the
bottom, tap Delete account, then confirm. Your profile, posts, messages, and
health data are removed from our servers. If you signed up with Sign in with Apple or Google,
we also revoke the corresponding sign-in grant so the third party knows the connection is
gone.
If you cannot reach this screen — for example because you have lost access to the account —
email admin@zym8.com from the email address tied to the
account and we will delete it for you.
9. Report a bug
We treat every bug report seriously. If something crashes, freezes, or behaves unexpectedly,
please send us:
- Your account email or username.
- iPhone model and iOS version.
- Steps to reproduce the problem.
- Screenshot or screen recording when possible.
- The approximate time the issue happened (helps us find logs).
Send everything to
admin@zym8.com. Thank you for
helping us make ZYM better.
