Need help? In Capstone, open Settings and tap Email support. It starts an email to josh@kovus.dev with your app version, iPhone details and a log of recent problems already filled in. You can also email directly with your iPhone model, your iOS version, the app version (under Version in Settings) and what happened.
Is this the official Capstone assessment?
No. Capstone is a revision app, not an assessment.
Unofficial study app. Not affiliated with or endorsed by any government, regulator, TAFE or registered training organisation.
Do I need an account?
No. Capstone has no account and no sign-in. Your study data stays on your iPhone. The privacy policy explains what is stored.
What does Full access include?
Capstone is free to download. You can answer a sample question and set up your study plan first. Full access opens every question and teaching card in the app, timed practice and mistakes review. Choose Lifetime to start with a seven-day free trial, or Weekly for an immediately charged subscription. The purchase screen shows how much this version includes, the price in your App Store currency and the payment terms before you confirm.
What does Lifetime mean?
Paid Lifetime is a one-time purchase: you pay once and are not charged again. It never renews. It covers everything in Capstone, including questions and chapters added in later updates, for as long as Capstone is available and supports your iPhone’s version of iOS. The terms of use have the details.
How does the Lifetime trial work?
Tap Start 7-day free trial and confirm the free App Store transaction. Full access lasts seven days from that original transaction. There is no automatic charge and nothing to cancel. You can buy paid Lifetime or subscribe to Weekly during or after the trial, only if you choose. In Settings, Choose a purchase opens those options while the trial is active.
The trial is available once per Apple Account. Restore purchase brings back an unexpired trial with its original end date. Reinstalling Capstone or erasing study data does not restart it. If you do not buy, Full access ends after seven days; your study data stays on this iPhone.
How do I restore a purchase?
Tap Restore purchase on the Welcome screen or the purchase screen. If you already have Full access, open Today, tap Settings (the gear button), then tap Restore purchase. Make sure your iPhone is signed in to the Apple Account that made the purchase. Restoring brings back Full access, not study data. After a restore on the Welcome screen, Skip set-up takes you straight to Today, and you can add your Capstone date and pace in Settings. If Full access still does not appear, use Email support.
I’m moving to a new iPhone. What comes with me?
Your study data is stored in Capstone’s data on your iPhone, which iPhone backups include. If you set up the new iPhone from a backup of the old one, or transfer your data with Quick Start, your progress, plan, saved workings and notes can come across with the app. Kovus has no server copy, so it can’t move them for you.
If you set up the new iPhone as new, Capstone starts fresh. Restore purchase brings back Full access, not study data. Export progress makes a copy for your records, but the app can’t load it back in.
Why does Settings show Manage subscription?
Weekly is a one-week subscription with no free trial. Apple charges when you confirm, and it renews weekly unless cancelled. Settings shows Weekly under Full access, and Manage subscription opens your Apple Account subscriptions, where you can cancel it. Cancelling stops renewals, and Full access follows the entitlement period reported by the App Store. Deleting Capstone does not cancel a subscription. See Apple’s cancellation instructions if you need help.
How do I get a refund?
Apple handles refunds for App Store purchases. Request one at reportaproblem.apple.com. Kovus cannot issue a refund for a purchase made through the App Store. This does not limit your rights under the Australian Consumer Law.
What happens without Full access?
Your study data stays on your iPhone. Capstone shows the Full access screen before you can keep studying, and you carry on from where you left off once you have Full access. Study reminders pause until then. From that screen you can still restore a purchase, turn study reminders off, export your progress, erase your study data, get help, and read the terms and privacy policy.
Can I share Capstone with my family?
No. Capstone purchases are not shared through Apple Family Sharing.
What if the price changes?
A new price applies to new purchases only. A Lifetime purchase you have already made is not affected.
Where is my study data, and how do I export or erase it?
Your answers, sessions, mistakes, progress, study plan, saved workings, personal notes and settings are stored in a local database on your iPhone. There is no Kovus server and no cloud sync, so Kovus cannot restore lost study data. Device backups of your iPhone can contain it.
To keep a copy for your records, open Settings and tap Export progress under Data. The app creates a file and opens the iOS share sheet, and you choose where it goes. The app can’t load the file back in.
To remove your study data, open Settings and tap Erase all study data under Data, then confirm. Erasing cannot be undone, so export first if you want a copy. Full access stays with your Apple Account. Deleting the app also removes its local data.
How do I save a working or add a note?
Open Show working after answering a question and tap Save working. In Practice, open Saved workings to read it or add a personal note. Saved workings and notes stay on this iPhone and are included in Export progress. You can remove a saved working from its detail screen. Removing it does not change your answers, progress or mistakes.
My reminders are not arriving
Reminders run only while you have Full access. In Capstone, open Settings and look at the Reminders row: it says when reminders are on, when notifications are off in iPhone Settings or not allowed yet, and when a reminder hasn’t been scheduled yet. Tap it to check that each reminder you want is on. Then, in iPhone Settings, go to Notifications, then Capstone, and check that notifications are allowed. Reminders are local notifications scheduled on your iPhone. Reminders skip a day once you’ve finished a session that day, and pause for the rest of the week once your weekly target is met. Capstone plans them up to four weeks ahead each time you open it. If you haven’t opened it for a while, open it once to plan more.
How does Email support work?
Open Settings and tap Email support under Help and feedback. It is also on the screens Capstone shows when something goes wrong. It opens a draft in your Mail app with the app version, your iOS version, your iPhone model, the update the app is running and a log of recent problems on this iPhone. The log leaves out your first name. Add what happened, then send it. Nothing is sent until you tap Send. If the Mail app isn’t on your iPhone, Capstone shows the address so you can email from another app.
How do I report a wrong question?
Tap Report a problem on the Show working sheet, or on a question in the review after timed practice. It opens a draft in your Mail app that names the question, with the app details and any recent problems. Add what looks wrong, then send it. You can also email josh@kovus.dev and describe the question.
Who checked the questions?
Questions are written for this app and haven’t been independently reviewed. Report anything that looks wrong.
Does timed practice match the real assessment?
No. Timed practice is revision practice, not a copy of any provider’s assessment, and your results are revision measures, not a prediction of any assessment result. Ask your trainer or registered training organisation how your own assessment runs.
