Help & FAQ
Start here for common questions
Eliozz albums, audio, and bindings live mainly on your device. These steps cover permissions, storage, Cloud Sync, NFC, QR, importing, and playback.
Frequently asked questions
Where are my audio files stored?
Albums and audio stay on-device by default. After you purchase and enable Eliozz Cloud Sync, they enter your CloudKit private database—not the Eliozz website or NFC service.
Why can’t I start recording?
Open Settings → Privacy & Security → Microphone and allow Eliozz. Check that the device has free space and that a call or another recording app is not using the microphone.
Can one album contain several audio files?
Yes. Keep different narrators, languages, or edits in one album, then rename, share, delete, or bind each audio separately.
How do I back up or move albums?
Export important audio with Share, or make a one-time purchase in Settings to sync albums, audio, album covers, and NFC and QR bindings between devices using the same iCloud account.
Is Eliozz Cloud Sync a subscription?
No. It is a non-consumable, one-time in-app purchase with no renewal. It uses your existing private iCloud capacity and includes no extra storage. Settings provides Restore Purchase, Sync Now, and Delete Cloud Data.
Why is there no Eliozz folder in iCloud Drive?
That is expected. Eliozz uses the private CloudKit database for your current iCloud account, not an iCloud Drive folder, so it does not appear in the Files app.
Which Apple Account do I need on another device?
Use the same App Store (Media & Purchases) account to restore the one-time purchase. Use the same iCloud account to access the same albums and audio.
Will turning sync off or deleting the cloud copy remove local files?
No. Turning sync off leaves this device’s files in their current folders. Before deleting the cloud copy, Eliozz verifies that local audio and covers are present, then removes the iCloud copy and turns sync off.
Why was a missing audio file not restored from iCloud?
Only audio that previously finished uploading can be restored. Stay online, open Settings → Eliozz Cloud, run Sync Now, then use Restore Missing Audio. If the cloud never received a file, neither iCloud nor the website can recreate it.
Why did playback stop after locking the screen?
Confirm playback started, the system volume is audible, and another app has not taken over audio. Eliozz supports background audio and iOS system playback controls.
How do I bind an NFC card?
In album details, swipe right on the target audio, choose Bind NFC, and scan an official Eliozz e Tag with a supported iPhone. The app checks NTAG215, the physical UID, and the digital signature.
How do I generate and bind a QR code?
Use the website QR tool to generate and print labels locally. In album details, swipe the audio right, choose Bind QR Code, and center one label in the frame. The Library scanner plays an already-bound QR immediately.
Why can’t my iPad scan NFC?
An iPad without Core NFC scanning can still record, organise, and play stories, but it cannot actively scan a card. Use a supported iPhone for scanning.
Can I unbind and reuse an e Tag?
Yes, without a binding-count limit. Unbinding, rebinding, or transferring changes only this library or its private iCloud data. It does not rewrite the NFC tag, delete audio, or invalidate the tag; one tag maps to one audio at a time in the current library.
Why do I see a webpage after touching the card?
Install the latest Eliozz and tap the iOS NFC notification when it appears. If the app was not installed, iOS opens this guide; install it, then touch the card again.
What happens if I delete an album, audio, or the app?
Deleting an audio or album also removes related bindings; with Cloud Sync, that deletion reaches iCloud and other synced devices. Removing the app or erasing a device may remove content that did not finish syncing, and the website cannot restore it.
Which devices support NFC, QR, the widget, and Cloud Sync?
Core local features, in-app QR scanning, and the scan widget support iOS 15+. NFC requires a compatible iPhone, while Cloud Sync requires iOS 17+ and a one-time purchase. iPad supports QR and local features but cannot actively scan NFC.
See the complete compatibility tableIf it still does not work
- 1Confirm the device runs iOS or iPadOS 15 or later and has the newest Eliozz version; Cloud Sync requires iOS or iPadOS 17+.
- 2Check microphone, photo, and NFC-related permissions again in iOS Settings.
- 3Make sure there is enough device storage, then fully close and reopen the app.
- 4For NFC, remove a thick or metal case and move the top of the iPhone slowly near the card.
- 5Do not delete the app before exporting or verifying a backup.
