AvaNotes
Support

Help, the analog way — with a human.

A real person reads every email — usually the one who built the feature you're asking about.

Email us
Reply target: within one business day. Include your iOS version and a brief description — that's usually enough to diagnose. For Ask Ava or Ava Heard questions, share the note title (no audio is shared automatically).

Capture & transcripts

My audio didn't transcribe — what now?

Open the note and pull down to refresh. If the status is still "Failed," tap Retry in the note menu. Most failures are transient network issues. If retry fails three times, email us with the note title and we'll investigate.

Does it work offline?

Capture works offline — audio queues on your device and uploads when you reconnect. Transcription, Ava Heard, and Ask Ava need a connection because they run on our servers (not on-device).

What languages are supported?

Ava transcribes in 100+ languages. The interface launches in English; we're adding Spanish, German, French, and Japanese in the months after launch — vote for what you need in-app.

Ava Heard & agentic actions

What is Ava Heard?

On every note, an Ava Heard card surfaces the todos, events, and follow-ups Ava heard you mention. One tap routes each item: Add to Reminders, drop in Calendar, or open Mail with a drafted email. Nothing is written without your explicit tap.

Why didn't Ava add it to my Reminders automatically?

By design. AvaNotes never writes to your Apple ecosystem without you tapping the action. We never read your existing reminders, calendar, or contacts — so Ava can't deduplicate or auto-route. You stay in control.

Can Ava draft emails to specific people?

Yes. When Ava hears "email Sarah about Q3," tapping the action opens Mail with the relevant excerpt prefilled. You add the recipient and review before sending — we never send mail on your behalf.

Ask Ava & the knowledge graph

How does Ask Ava work?

Semantic search across your own library only. Ask in natural language ("What did I decide about pricing last week?") and Ava returns the relevant note, plays the audio, and cites the exact quote. Pro users get time-aware search ("last week", "in October").

Ava gave me a weird/wrong answer.

AI responses can be incorrect, especially when underlying notes are short or ambiguous. In every Ask Ava response, tap the citation to see which note Ava pulled from — verify against the original audio if it matters. If Ava is consistently wrong, send us a screenshot and we'll look at the prompt chain.

How do I see all conversations about a person?

Tap any name that appears in Ava Heard or in the knowledge graph view (Library → Graph). Every note that mentions them, in chronological order, with audio.

Subscription & account

How much does Pro cost?

$39.99 / year (saves 78% vs monthly) or $14.99 / month, with a 7-day free trial. Pro unlocks Ava Heard, daily briefing, Studio Voice, the full knowledge graph, time-aware Ask Ava, and the weekly digest.

How do I cancel my subscription?

Subscriptions are billed by Apple. To cancel: iOS Settings → your name → SubscriptionsAvaNotesCancel Subscription. You keep Pro access until the end of your current period.

I want a refund.

Refunds for in-app purchases are handled by Apple. Go to reportaproblem.apple.com, sign in, find the AvaNotes purchase, and request a refund. Apple's decision is final — but email us if the request was denied due to a technical issue on our side.

I lost access after switching iPhones.

Sign in with the same Apple ID on the new device. Open AvaNotes and tap Restore Purchases in Settings — Pro should re-activate immediately.

How do I delete my account and all data?

App → Settings → Account → Delete Account. Confirm twice. Within 7 days all of your notes, audio, transcripts, and account record are erased. Export first if you want to keep anything (Settings → Export).

Studio Voice & daily briefing

What is Studio Voice?

A Pro feature: Ava's spoken replies stream through Apple's premium cloud TTS model, sounding warmer and more natural than the on-device voice. Toggle in Settings → Ava's Voice → Studio Voice. Free users get the great on-device Apple voice.

How do I turn the morning briefing on or off?

Settings → Daily Briefing. Choose your time (default 8 AM local), or switch it off entirely. The home screen still shows today's items — the notification is opt-in.
