Oh no! Let's sort this out 🎨

Here are a few things to check if you’re not seeing Premium access:


1. Make sure you're logged in with the right email

  • Tap your Avatar (top left) > Settings (top right)

  • Check the email shown at the top - is it the same one you used to subscribe?Typos or old addresses are the most common reason Premium isn’t showing up.

  • Feel free to log out (Avatar > Settings > Log out) and then sign in again with any other email addresses you have, just incase you signed up with a different by accident!


2. Did you sign up using your Apple ID?

When you first signed up, if you used the Apple sign-in option, your account is connected to your Apple ID, not your regular email.

👉 If you chose Share My Email

  • Either keep signing in with Apple ID, OR

  • Sign in using the same email address linked to your Apple ID (this is usually your iCloud email).

⚠️ If your usual email is different from your Apple ID email, and you're now trying to log in using that regular email, the app won’t recognize your subscription.

👉 If you chose Hide My Email

Your account is now linked to a private, Apple-generated email address (like random123@privaterelay.appleid.com).


You'll need to continue signing in with your Apple ID, and that's super simple:

  1. Tap Sign In on the home screen

  2. Then tap the Apple icon

  3. Use Face ID, Touch ID, or your Apple credentials, and you’ll be logged in with your hidden email automatically (Apple remembers it for you)

✨ Want to switch to logging in with your regular email instead? No problem! Just contact us, and we can help you connect an email address to your account so it’s easier to log in next time.


3. Using multiple devices?

If you're using Simply Draw on more than one device and they’re not all signed in to the same Apple ID, that could cause issues.

📩 Just let us know, and we’ll help add an email to your account so you can log in across all devices smoothly.


4. Subscribed via our website?

If you signed up through our website instead of the app, you might have used a different email address during checkout.

📝 Try signing in with any other email addresses you might’ve used - even old ones!


5. Still not seeing Premium?

Try this quick trick:

  • Go to Avatar (top left) > Settings (top right) > Restore Purchase

That usually refreshes things and brings Premium access back 💫
