Need a person? Write to contact@petalanoar.org and we will get back to you, usually within two working days. Tell us your username and what you were doing when it went wrong — it saves a round trip.
A vault is one collection — your whisky, your watches, your vinyl. Items live inside vaults, and each item carries its own photos, notes and ratings. You can keep as many vaults as you like.
Open a vault → Add item → name it, photograph it, rate it.
Pick a template when you create a vault and Robbi pre-fills the fields that matter for that hobby — vintage and region for wine, movement and case size for watches. You can edit any of them afterwards.
Each photo has to be under 10 MB. If an upload stalls, check your connection and try again; nothing is lost if it fails. Robbi needs photo library access, which you can grant in iOS Settings → Robbi → Photos.
Robbi → Settings and privacy → Privacy → Private account
With a private account, people can still find you, but your vaults stay hidden until you accept their follow request. Individual vaults can also be made private on their own.
Open their profile, tap the ⋯ button and choose Block. Blocking works both ways: they cannot see your profile, vaults, items or comments, and you will not see theirs.
Accounts, vaults, items and comments all carry a Report action behind the ⋯ button. Every report reaches a real person, and we act on the ones that break our rules — usually within 24 hours. You can also email us directly.
Nobody, unless you turn on Show view counts in Privacy settings.
Sign-in screen → Forgotten password → we email you a reset link.
Signed in already? Go to Settings and privacy → Account → Password, where you can set a new one or ask for a reset link.
Then there is no password to reset — just tap the same button you used the first time. Robbi never sees your Apple or Google password.
Settings and privacy → Notifications → Allow notifications stops new notifications being created for you at all. iOS Settings → Robbi → Notifications controls whether they appear on your lock screen.
Robbi → Settings and privacy → Delete account
This deletes your account, your vaults, your items and every photo you uploaded, for good. It happens straight away and it cannot be undone. If you would rather we did it for you, email contact@petalanoar.org from the address on the account.
Close Robbi fully and reopen it. If it persists, check whether other apps have a connection — Robbi needs one to reach your collections. Still stuck? Tell us your device, your iOS version and roughly when it started.
Check both switches: Allow notifications inside Robbi, and Robbi's entry in iOS Settings. If both are on and nothing arrives, write to us with your username.
Send it to us. Robbi is small enough that good suggestions get built.
