    Hi schroederphoto, thanks for the info! 

     

    Could you wait until your app is up to date, then uninstall, and re-install it? Let me know if this changes this behavior you're facing with your Vault.

Hi schroederphoto, I'd be more than happy to help!

 

Could you let me know the app's current syncing status, along with the version that you have installed on the device?

 

Keep me posted, and we'll take it from there.
