Hi! I see you’re having trouble exporting or posting a video from the Coverstar app on your Android tablet. Let’s dig into this and get it sorted out.

First, to get a better idea, can you tell me if you see any specific error messages when the export or post fails? Also, is the app updated to the latest version on your tablet?

Meanwhile, here’s a step-by-step approach to try resolving this:

1. Close Other Apps and Restart the Tablet: Sometimes, background apps can interfere with the export process. Close any running apps and restart your tablet to clear any temporary glitches.

2. Check Storage Space: Make sure your tablet has enough free storage. Exporting videos requires free space to save the file.

3. Clear the Coverstar App Cache: Go to your tablet’s Settings > Apps > Coverstar > Storage > Clear Cache. Cache is temporary data that can sometimes cause issues.

4. Update the App: Head to the Google Play Store and confirm Coverstar is updated to the latest version—updates can fix bugs affecting video export.

5. Try Exporting Again: After the above steps, open Coverstar and try exporting/posting your video again.

6. Check Permissions: Ensure Coverstar has permission to access your storage and media. You can find this in Settings > Apps > Coverstar > Permissions.

If after trying these steps you still have problems, let me know what error messages or behavior you notice, and we can dive deeper. Sometimes file format or codec issues can cause export failure too.

I have done all those things. Do you know how much storage is needed? I have deleted a bunch of apps but I wonder if I just don't have enough storage left

Thanks for letting me know you’ve already tried those steps! Regarding how much storage Coverstar needs: Coverstar doesn’t specify an exact minimum storage requirement for exporting videos, but video files can vary quite a bit in size depending on length and resolution. Generally, having at least a few hundred megabytes to a couple of gigabytes free is a good buffer for exporting.

Some users have mentioned the app may require significant storage, sometimes around several gigabytes, because videos and app data can take up considerable space. If your device has less than 1-2 GB free, that could explain export issues.

To help you check storage:
1. Go to your tablet’s Settings > Storage and see how much free space is available.
2. If it’s under 1 or 2 GB, try deleting unnecessary files or videos, or transfer them to cloud storage or a computer.
3. Then try exporting your video again in Coverstar.

If you’re still unsure or want to confirm the app’s current space usage, you can clear the app’s data (Settings > Apps > Coverstar > Storage > Clear Data) — but note this will remove any saved progress inside the app, so backup anything important first.

If you want, I can help you walk through checking storage and freeing up space step-by-step on your tablet. Does that sound good?

Also, if you want more detailed info from Coverstar’s official sources or user discussions, let me know and I can get that for you.

I have plenty of storage available then. I create my video and click "next" then it just sits there on the export screen. I don't understand why

Thanks for the additional details. So, your Coverstar app just sits on the export screen after clicking "next," with no progress or error message. Since you’ve confirmed storage isn’t an issue and you've tried the basic fixes, let’s look at some other potential causes and solutions for this export screen getting stuck:

1. Internet Connection:
Even though you’re exporting locally, some apps do require an active internet connection to finalize the export or post process. Could you check if your tablet has a stable internet connection (Wi-Fi or cellular) while trying to export?

2. App’s Background Permissions and Battery Optimization:
Sometimes, Android’s battery saver or background app restrictions can interfere with processes like exporting or uploading videos.
- Go to Settings > Apps > Coverstar > Battery and ensure battery optimization is disabled.
- Also, check if background data for Coverstar is allowed (Settings > Apps > Coverstar > Data usage).

3. Temporary App Glitch - Force Stop and Restart:
Since it just sits there, fully close the app:
- Settings > Apps > Coverstar > Force Stop
- Then restart the app and try again.

4. Export Format or Video Content Issues:
Occasionally, the length, format, or complexity of the video (special effects, transitions, file corruption) can cause export failures.
- Can you try exporting a shorter or simpler video to test if it completes successfully?
- If simpler videos export fine, there might be a project-specific issue.

5. Reinstall the App:
Since you've cleared cache before, next step is to uninstall and reinstall Coverstar to ensure all app files are fresh and not corrupted.

6. Check for Known Issues or Updates:
Sometimes these issues are due to a known bug that’s recently been fixed. Since I found the Coverstar Help Center which holds FAQs and troubleshooting guides, it’s worth checking there for any current export-related issues or app updates: Coverstar Help Center [1]

If none of these steps work or if exporting still hangs indefinitely, it may be good to directly contact Coverstar support through their help center or email [email protected] with specific details, as it might be a server or account-specific problem requiring their input.

To recap, start by checking your internet, disabling battery optimization for Coverstar, force stopping the app and restarting, and testing with a simple video export. Let me know how these go, and I’ll guide you further!

Are you comfortable trying these next?

I have done all those things and it still doesn't work. I have even emailed support and have not received a response

I understand how this lingering export issue and lack of response from Coverstar support can be really inconvenient. Since you've done all the usual troubleshooting steps and reached out to support without luck, let's explore some alternative options and resources that might help you move forward:

1. Explore Coverstar Help Center Resources:
The official Coverstar Help Center has categories with FAQs and troubleshooting tips that may have additional guidance or updates:
- General FAQs and troubleshooting: Coverstar Help Center [1]
Browsing the “General” and “Frequently Asked Questions” sections might reveal tips relevant to export issues or usual workarounds reported by other users[2][3].

2. Community Forums and User Discussions:
While there isn’t a dedicated large community forum for Coverstar, some platforms like Reddit or JustUseApp forums may have user discussions regarding app issues. Sometimes users share useful fixes or confirm if a bug is widespread.
For example, on JustUseApp forums, app crashing and glitch reports include steps like restarting devices and clearing data, which you’ve tried, but occasionally community posts surface new fixes[4].

3. Alternative Ways to Contact Support:
If your email to [email protected] has not been answered yet, you might try:
- Resending your message with added details and a clear subject line summarizing the export problem.
- Looking for a “Contact Us” or “Support” feature within the app itself (sometimes apps offer in-app support tickets).
- Searching for any official social media profiles of Coverstar where support queries may be responded to more promptly.

4. Re-evaluate Video Content or Use a Different Device:
- Sometimes exporting stalls due to project-specific content or device compatibility quirks. If possible, try logging into your Coverstar account from another device (another Android tablet or even PC, if supported) to check if exporting works there.
- Alternatively, try shortening or simplifying your video project to see if that helps the export process complete.

5. Monitor for App Updates:
Since this might be a bug, check regularly for app updates on the Play Store, as developers often release fixes for export or posting issues.

If you want, I can walk you through navigating the Help Center to locate specific troubleshooting guides or help you draft a detailed support message that might increase chances of a response. Just let me know!

In the meantime, are you open to trying export from a different device, or would you prefer I help you with accessing the Help Center to find tailored troubleshooting advice?
