Common questions

How do I add a widget to my Home Screen?

Touch and hold an empty spot on your Home Screen until the apps jiggle, then tap Edit › Add Widget. Search for Payday Away, pick a size and tap Add Widget. The Widgets tab in Payday Away walks you through the Lock Screen and StandBy too.

Can each widget look different?

Yes. Touch and hold a widget and tap Edit Widget. You can choose its look, what it counts, and whether it shows a label. Leave them on “App theme” and “App setting” to follow the app.

Why did my payday move?

When a payday lands on a weekend or a US bank holiday, Payday Away moves it to the business day before or after, the way most employers do. You can change this, or keep the date as it is, in Settings under “If payday lands on a weekend or holiday”. Home and the calendar mark any payday that moved.

How do I hide my pay?

Tap the eye on Home, or turn on “Hide dollar amounts” in Settings. Your widgets then show $•,••• instead of amounts.

My alerts don’t arrive.

Check that alerts are on in Payday Away’s Settings, and that notifications are allowed for Payday Away in the iPhone Settings app, under Apps › Payday Away › Notifications.

Why does my widget look like glass?

If your Home Screen is set to Clear or Tinted, iOS draws every widget as glass, Payday Away’s included. To see your widget’s own look, set the Home Screen back to Default. The Glass look gives you a frosted style in any Home Screen setting.

Does Payday Away connect to my bank?

No. You tell it your schedule, and your take-home pay if you like. Nothing is connected, and nothing leaves your iPhone.

Is there a subscription or anything to unlock?

No. You pay once, and that’s everything. There are no ads, no account and nothing to restore.
