Find solutions for scanning, product data, health alerts, accounts, and iCloud synchronization, or contact WordPos support.
1. Getting started
- Allow WordPos to access the camera when you scan for the first time.
- Place the product barcode in the scanning frame, keeping it complete, clear, and free from glare.
- Connect to the internet to query product information, ingredient analysis, and scores.
- Core scanning works in guest mode. Sign in with Apple is only needed for account data synchronization.
2. The scanner or camera does not start
- Check WordPos camera access in iOS Settings.
- Make sure the barcode is EAN-13 or EAN-8, then adjust distance, lighting, and angle.
- Close and reopen the scanner, or restart the app.
- Make sure the physical device supports VisionKit data scanning. A simulator cannot provide live camera scanning.
3. A product is missing or incomplete
- Check the barcode and your internet connection, then try again later.
- Product information comes from public databases. Some products may not be listed or may have incomplete fields.
- If a food query does not match, the app tries the beauty and personal-care database.
- Always rely on the product package for actual ingredients, nutrition, and allergen information.
4. Scores and health alerts
- Scores support everyday comparisons. They are not medical advice or a regulatory health certification.
- To receive personalized alerts, complete and save the relevant health and dietary information in your health profile.
- When product data is incomplete, the app cannot assess every risk. Missing information does not mean there is no risk.
- Consult a physician or another qualified professional about medical conditions, allergies, or special dietary needs.
5. Sign in with Apple and iCloud synchronization
- Make sure the device is signed in to iCloud, has an internet connection, and uses the same Apple account on each device.
- After signing in, health profiles, history, favorites, and comparisons synchronize to your iCloud private database.
- Synchronization may take some time. If a conflict or failure appears, check the status shown in the app and retry.
- Signing out stops synchronization. Before deleting account data, make sure you no longer need the local and cloud copies.
6. Clearing data and privacy
You can clear your health profile, scan history, favorites, and comparisons in the app. The account deletion feature also requests deletion of corresponding iCloud synchronized data. See the privacy policy for details.
