Support
Stuck on something? Most answers are below — and a real person (one of the two of us who built Lumis) reads every email.
Email us: support@lumisapp.org — we aim to reply within 1–2 days, faster during term time. Include your device model and what you were doing when the problem happened.
Common questions
My syllabus didn't scan correctly
Try uploading the original PDF or DOCX instead of a photo — file uploads parse more reliably than pictures. If a photo is all you have, good lighting and a flat page help. Any missed or wrong deadline can be edited by hand, and emailing the syllabus to support helps us make the scanner smarter.
What kinds of course files can I upload?
Beyond the syllabus: lecture notes, slide decks, readings, handouts, lab manuals, and past problem sets, as PDFs, Word documents, or photos. Everything you add goes into that course's material so its flashcards, quizzes, and explanations match what your class actually covers. You can remove any individual file from the course at any time.
I'm not getting reminders
Check Settings → Notifications → Lumis on your iPhone and make sure notifications are allowed. If you have a very full semester, note that iOS limits pending notifications per app — Lumis prioritizes your nearest deadlines automatically.
How do I restore my Premium purchase?
On a new phone or after reinstalling: open Lumis, go to the Premium screen, and tap "Restore Purchases." You must be signed in to the same Apple account that made the purchase.
How do I cancel Premium?
Subscriptions are managed by Apple: Settings → your name → Subscriptions → Lumis → Cancel. Your Premium features stay active until the end of the paid period. During a free trial, cancelling means you won't be charged.
How do I delete my account and data?
You can delete your account from within the app's settings, or email privacy@lumisapp.org from your account email. Deleting the app removes all on-device course data. See the privacy policy for details.
How do I get off the waitlist email list?
Reply to any waitlist email and say the word, or write to privacy@lumisapp.org. We'll delete your entry — you don't need an account to ask.
Does Lumis work offline?
Your calendar, assignments, notes, and timer all work offline — your data lives on your device. AI features (syllabus scanning, flashcard generation, Lumis AI chat) need an internet connection.
