All your portfolio data is stored locally on your device only. We don't upload, sync, or store your personal investment data on any cloud servers or external databases. This means:

• You're responsible for backing up your data

Yes! Finvinity includes data export features:

• Go to Settings → Export Data
• Choose between CSV or JSON format
• Save the file to your device or cloud storage
• Import data back using Settings → Import Data

We recommend creating regular backups since data is stored locally only.

⚠️ Important: Uninstalling Finvinity will permanently delete all your portfolio data. Since we store data locally only, there's no way to recover it once the app is removed. Before uninstalling:

• Export your data using the backup feature
• Save the backup file to cloud storage or email it to yourself
• You can reinstall the app later and import your data back

Price updates depend on the asset type and market conditions:

• Stocks: Real-time during market hours, static when markets are closed
• Cryptocurrencies: Updated every few minutes (24/7)
• Currencies: Updated multiple times per hour during trading hours
• Mutual Funds: Usually once per day after market close

Pull down on the main screen to manually refresh all prices.

Some market data may be delayed by 15-20 minutes due to:

• Exchange requirements for real-time data licensing
• Third-party API limitations
• Network connectivity issues

For the most current prices, we recommend checking official exchange websites or your broker's platform for critical trading decisions.

If you can't find an asset, try:

• Using the exact ticker symbol (e.g., "AAPL" not "Apple")
• Checking different exchanges (some stocks trade on multiple exchanges)
• Searching by the full company name
• Verifying the asset is publicly traded

If you still can't find it, contact us at finvinityapp@gmail.com with the asset details, and we'll investigate adding it.

Try these troubleshooting steps:

1. Force close and restart the app
