Hi there! I understand your Forest app is stuck in "limited mode" and isn't syncing across your devices. Let's get to the bottom of this together. Just to clarify a bit—when you say "limited mode," is the app indicating something about network issues or restrictions? Also, have you tried syncing before, or is this the first time you're encountering this problem?
In the meantime, here's a step-by-step approach we can try to resolve this:
1. Check Your Network Connection: Even if other apps and your computer seem fine, the Forest app may have trouble reaching its sync servers. Try switching between Wi-Fi and mobile data, or restarting your router to refresh the connection.
2. Update the Forest App: Ensure you have the latest version installed. Sometimes bugs causing sync issues are fixed in updates. Since you're on Windows with WebKit, check for updates via the app's own update mechanism or through the Windows store if applicable.
3. Log Out and Log Back In: - Open the Forest app. - Log out of your current account. - Then log back in. This can refresh the account's sync tokens.
4. Try Logging in as Guest and Then Back to Your Account: - Some users found that logging in as a guest temporarily and then logging back into their account helped reset the sync status.
5. Clear Cache or App Data: - On Windows, clear the app cache if possible, to remove any corrupt sync data.
6. Check Sync Settings Within the App: - Ensure sync is enabled. - Sometimes toggling sync off and on again helps.
7. Verify Account Status: Make sure your account is in good standing (e.g., subscription active if applicable) and not blocked or expired.
If after trying these steps the app remains stuck in limited mode and won't sync, it might be an issue on Forest's server side or a deeper technical problem.
Would you like me to check if there are any known current server issues or provide you with contact info for Forest support for a further look? Also, please let me know which of the above steps you've already tried.
