Tips and troubleshooting

Sign-in link not arriving

Check your junk, spam or promotions folder. Always use the most recent link, as older ones expire. If it still does not arrive, try signing in with Google instead.

Access code not working

Codes are not case sensitive, but do check for extra spaces. Use the retreat access code provided by your retreat organisers, and contact the Couples Ministry team if it is still refused.

Add it to your home screen

On iPhone, tap Share then Add to Home Screen. On Android, tap the menu then Add to Home screen. It then opens like an app, and works even with patchy signal.

Use the same email each time

Sign in with the same email or Google account every time, so your reflections, plans and couple space always appear.
