Poor signal on site

Lofts, basements and country lanes often have no signal. Kev is built to cope.

Tapping with no signal

If you tap Start Journey, Finish journey, Start timer, Stop timer, Take a break or Finish break, or upload a receipt, while there's no signal, Kev shows a No signal message at the top of the screen and holds on to what you tapped. When signal comes back, Kev sends it on its own. You don't need to tap again.

Kev saves the time you tapped, not the time signal came back. So if you stop your timer at 4:00 in a basement and get signal at 4:20, your timesheet says 4:00.

Keep Kev open until the message goes. If you close Kev or turn your phone off first, whatever you tapped is lost and you'll need to tap it again (or fix the times by hand, see Time tracking).

Journeys still use your phone's GPS with no signal, so the start and end points are right. Kev works out the road distance once signal is back.

Opening Kev with no signal

Kev needs signal to open a page. With none, you'll see No signal right now. Anything you've already saved is safe, and a journey or timer you started keeps running. Tap Try again when you've got a bar or two.

Add Kev to your home screen

Kev opens full screen like an app when it's on your home screen. Home shows an Add Kev to your home screen box until you do it (tap ✕ to hide it):

• Android (Chrome): tap Add to home screen.
• iPhone (Safari): tap the Share button, then Add to Home Screen.
