Overview
If you run into issues with the Jobber app, there are a few troubleshooting steps you can do on your own before reaching out to our Support Team. These are necessary steps either way and can help speed up your Support experience. If the issue still persists after going through these steps, our support team may pass the issue along to our technical team.
Jobber App Troubleshooting
If you're experiencing issues with the Jobber mobile app, work through the steps below in order. Each step resolves the most common causes of app problems before moving on to more involved fixes.
Step 1: Force close and reopen the app
Closing the app fully and reopening it clears temporary processes that can cause freezing, loading issues, or unexpected behaviour.
On iPhone or iPad:
- Swipe up from the bottom of the screen and pause in the middle to open the app switcher.
- Swipe the Jobber app upward to close it.
- Tap the Jobber icon to reopen the app.
On Android:
- Swipe up from the bottom of the screen, hold, then let go.
- Swipe the Jobber app upward to close it.
- Tap the Jobber icon to reopen the app.
Step 2: Log out and log back in
Logging out and back in refreshes your account connection and can resolve syncing issues or problems loading your data.
- In the Jobber app, tap the More (...) button to open Settings.
- Scroll to the bottom and tap Logout.
- Log back in with your Jobber email and password.
Step 3: Restart your device
Restarting your phone or tablet clears its temporary memory and resolves issues that continue after closing the app.
Turn your device fully off, wait a few seconds, then turn it back on and reopen Jobber.
Step 4: Check your internet connection
A weak or unstable connection is a common cause of loading errors and sync problems. If you're on Wi-Fi, switch to mobile data and try again, or vice versa. You can also try connecting to a different Wi-Fi network to rule out a local network issue.
When you are not connected to the internet while in the app, a message will appear letting you know that you are offline with a timestamp showing when you went offline.
Step 5: Update the app
Running an outdated version of the app can cause bugs that have since been fixed. Check for updates in the App Store (iPhone/iPad) or Google Play Store (Android) and install any available update.
Step 6: Uninstall and reinstall the app
If none of the above steps resolve the issue, uninstalling and reinstalling the app gives you a completely fresh installation that ensures you're on the newest version. Deleting the app also clears the app's cache, which can fix other issues that might impact performance.

Once removed, reinstall Jobber from the App Store or Google Play and log back in.
