Frequently asked questions

How do I add my timetable without typing it all?

In the ⋮ menu → Timetable → Import from PDF or photo: AI prepares the lectures, you check them and choose the period.

A lecture is cancelled just this week

Touch and hold the lecture → Skip only that day. The other weeks stay.

Reminders don't arrive

Check in Settings → Reminders and alerts that they're on and that your phone allows Sfoglia's notifications. On some phones you also need to remove battery restrictions (see Download and install).
