one answer at a time.
A guide to records, comparisons, display currencies, reminders, and backups in Asset Log.
What kind of app is Asset Log?
It helps you record total assets and liabilities by date once a month or quarter and look back on changes in net worth. It is not a transaction budget, bank connection, live market-data service, or investment recommendation tool.
Where are my records stored?
Dates, total assets, liabilities, notes, and app settings are stored on your device. There is no Asset Log account or record-sync server, and SosoPixel cannot view or recover the originals on your device.
What should I do before changing devices or removing the app?
Create a password-encrypted backup from Settings and keep the file in a safe place you control. On a new installation, choosing the backup and entering its password replaces all current records with the backup after you confirm.
I forgot my backup password.
The password is not stored in the app or on a SosoPixel server, so we cannot retrieve it. If you no longer have the original records elsewhere, a backup whose password is lost cannot be restored.
How are Previous, 6M ago, and 1Y ago comparisons chosen?
Previous uses the record immediately before the latest one. Six months and one year use the nearest actual record on or before the relevant date measured from the latest record. If none qualifies, the app says a comparison is unavailable.
Does changing the display currency convert my amounts?
No. Display currency changes symbols and number formatting only; it does not convert numbers with an exchange rate. Asset Log supports 19 display currencies but does not look up exchange rates.
Why did I not receive a reminder?
Reminders are off by default. Enable a monthly or quarterly reminder in the app and check that iOS notification permission is allowed. Focus modes and system notification settings can also prevent it from appearing.
Can I create another record for the same date or choose a future date?
Each date can have one record, and future dates are not accepted. Open the existing record if you need to change values for that date.
Can I keep using the app if an ad is unavailable?
Yes. Banners are limited to the Overview and Records screens. Record-keeping remains available when an ad is restricted or cannot load because of consent, network, or serving conditions.
Ask about using Asset Log
Including the following details will help us investigate.
- Your device model and iOS version
- The app language and screen where the issue occurred
- Steps and screenshots with real balance amounts hidden
Do not email actual asset or liability amounts, notes, a backup password, or a backup file. If you share a screenshot for troubleshooting, hide real balances and personal information first.
