Getting Started

How do I create my first collection? +

Creating a collection is easy:

  • Tap the + button on the Collections screen
  • Take a photo of something you want to track (e.g., a blood pressure monitor)
  • Wait a few seconds for AI to analyze your photo
  • Review the suggested metrics and customize if needed
  • Tap Create Collection

Your first photo becomes the basis for the collection, and you can start adding more photos right away.

What types of things can I track? +

PhotoMetrics can extract data from any photo that contains numbers or text. Common use cases include:

  • Health: Blood pressure monitors, weight scales, glucose meters
  • Finance: Receipts, bills, invoices
  • Fitness: Gym equipment displays, running watches
  • Home: Electric meters, water meters, thermostats
  • And more: Anything with visible data you want to track over time
How accurate is the AI data extraction? +

Our AI is highly accurate for clear, well-lit photos. However:

  • Results depend on photo quality - better lighting = better results
  • You can always edit any value the AI got wrong
  • Crop photos to focus on the relevant data for best results
  • For important data (especially health-related), always verify against the original

Troubleshooting

My photo isn't processing - what should I do? +

If your photo seems stuck processing:

  • Check your internet connection - Photo processing requires connectivity
  • Wait a moment - Processing typically takes 5-15 seconds
  • Check for a push notification - You'll be notified when processing completes
  • Pull to refresh - The photo list will update with new data
  • Try uploading again - If it's been more than a minute, try a new photo
The AI extracted wrong values - how do I fix them? +

You can easily edit any metric value:

  • Open the collection and tap on the photo
  • You'll see the list of extracted metrics
  • Tap on any value to edit it
  • Changes save automatically

For future photos, try taking clearer pictures with good lighting and the display in focus.

My charts aren't showing any data +

Charts require at least 2 photos with extracted data. If your charts are empty:

  • Check photo count - You need at least 2 processed photos
  • Verify metrics were extracted - Open a photo to confirm values exist
  • Try different time source - Switch between "Upload Date" and "Photo Taken Date"
  • Check date range - Screenshots may not have "Photo Taken Date" metadata
I'm not receiving push notifications +

To fix notification issues:

  • Go to iOS Settings > PhotoMetrics > Notifications
  • Make sure notifications are enabled
  • Check that "Allow Notifications" is turned on
  • Try logging out and back in to re-register for notifications

Account & Privacy

How do I delete my account? +

You can delete your account from the app:

  • Go to Settings (gear icon)
  • Scroll down to Account section
  • Tap Delete Account
  • Confirm by typing your email
  • Tap Delete My Account

Warning: This permanently deletes all your collections, photos, and data. This action cannot be undone.

Where is my data stored? +

Your data is stored securely in Amazon Web Services (AWS):

  • Photos: Encrypted S3 storage
  • Data: Encrypted PostgreSQL database
  • Authentication: AWS Cognito (Google/Apple Sign In)

All data transmission uses HTTPS encryption. We don't sell your data or show ads.

Can I export my data? +

Currently, data export is available by request. Contact us at support@photometrics.io and we'll provide your data in a downloadable format.

We're working on an in-app export feature for a future update.
