And you're ready to test!

Sometimes theres a
Downloaded with 100%bar below the screen that doesn't go away on the Plantbuds Landing screen. Is this a bug?
No, this is just Expo's Tunnel downloading the dependencies onto your phone. If the bar does not go away, just shake your phone and this menu should appear:
Just press refresh and the app will reload, removing the download bar on the bottom once it is done. -
I noticed that when I do actions like creating a plant, it takes a while for them to complete, is this normal?
This is very common and normal. The reason some actions take a long time is because the app is waiting for a sequence of HTTP requests to be completed, which might take a while. -
When I turn off reminders after scheduling a reminder, the reminder still goes off when I am not on the app.
This is a known bug, and unfortunately we are unable to solve this issue currently. The best way to not receive reminders currently is to clear the reminder by pressing clear reminder for whatever plants you do not want to receive a specific reminder for (ie watering, repotting, fertilizing). -
I received a
Disconnected from Metro Servermessage on the bottom of my screen
This just means you lost connection to the Expo server. If features on the app do not seem to work when this message appears, just shake your phone and press reload to reconnect to the Expo server, and the app will reload and take you back to the landing screen.
