Frequently Asked Questions
Which platform should I choose?
Use the native app for the device where you will capture most often. Desktop apps are designed for shortcuts, tray or menu-bar access, and longer work sessions. Mobile apps are designed for capture and review on the go. The Chrome extension saves web sources, and the iOS Shortcut is a separate API-based workflow rather than the full app.
Are the apps free to install?
Yes. Vowise apps are free to install. Ongoing use depends on your available credits, account-level Pro trial, or paid plan. Eligible new Web accounts may receive a 14-day account-level Pro trial. App Store and Google Play purchases have separate prices, eligibility, and terms shown in those stores.
How should I install Vowise on Android?
Use Google Play for the standard Android installation and update path. The direct APK is a secondary manual-install option. Only use an APK linked from the official Vowise download page, and enable installation from unknown sources only when you understand and accept the sideloading risk.
What should I do if Windows shows an app warning?
First verify that the installer came from the official Vowise download page or the current Microsoft Store listing. Check the publisher, file source, version, and any available signature details. Do not bypass a warning when the source or signature cannot be verified.
Can I use the same Vowise account on more than one device?
You can sign in with the same Vowise account on supported platforms. Which records, media, settings, and billing entitlements are available across devices depends on the current app and build. Check current release notes for the exact workflow you need.
Does the 14-day trial apply inside App Store and Google Play?
The 14-day Pro trial described on the Vowise website is an account-level Web offer for eligible new accounts. It is not a promise of a native App Store or Google Play introductory trial. Native-store offers are shown separately in each store.
How do I uninstall Vowise?
Windows: go to Settings > Apps > Installed apps, find Vowise, and choose Uninstall. macOS: open Finder > Applications and move Vowise to the Trash. Android or iOS: use the operating system's normal uninstall or remove-app action.
Does Vowise update automatically?
Sometimes, depending on how Vowise was installed. Store installs (Microsoft Store, Apple App Store, Google Play) follow the store's automatic update settings configured on your device. Direct desktop builds can check for updates via Vowise's update feed and notify you when an update is available for your channel. Manual packages—such as direct Android APKs and Linux AppImages—require manual updating. Do not assume every platform or install channel receives a release at the exact same moment.
How do I check which Vowise version I have?
On desktop, open Vowise, navigate to the About section, and check the version, channel, and install type. Compare that information with the current Download page and the dated Changelog. On mobile devices, check Settings > About inside the app, or inspect the app's details page in Google Play or the Apple App Store.
The Changelog shows a newer version, but Vowise does not offer an update. Is something wrong?
Not necessarily. The Vowise Changelog records when a release milestone was published as an official release record. However, website download packages, desktop updater promotions, and platform store certifications follow separate operational gates and phased rollouts. If an update is expected on your channel but fails to appear over several days, consult the Vowise Troubleshooting Guide or contact support.
Should I switch between Microsoft Store and the direct Windows installer just to get a newer version?
No. Do not switch installation families solely because one surface displays a newer version number earlier. Microsoft Store and direct desktop distribution are separate package families with different system integration boundaries. Maintain your existing distribution source unless Vowise publishes a specific migration instruction.
How do I update a direct Android APK?
To update a direct APK installation, visit the official Vowise Download page, download the latest verified .apk file, and install it on your device. Android will apply the update over your existing installation without deleting your local notes. Never download APK files from third-party websites.
How do I update Vowise on Linux?
Check the official Vowise Download page for the current Linux AppImage release and compare it with the version shown in your app's About screen. Download the new .AppImage file, make it executable (chmod +x), and run it. Do not assume the AppImage self-updates in the background unless explicitly confirmed for your build.
