App not showing in App Store/Google Play

Currently, the Cloaked App/Service is only supported in the US at this time - if you experience issues downloading the app, you may have have issues if:
1. You are Located outside the US

2. You are connected to a VPN that sets your IP address from outside the US

3. Your device location or subscription is set to outside the US

If you are experiencing issues locating the app in the app store, you can also download the app directly at https://download.cloaked.app/ or through the dashboard via the settings panel on the top right:

Issues logging in

If you are having issues logging into the app, the best troubleshooting method is to ensure that you have a strong internet connection.

Sometimes, having an older version of the app installed can cause issues. Check the App Store or Google Play Store to download the latest updates for the Cloaked app.

Ensure you are using your Cloaked username and password you would normally use on the Cloaked Dashboard in your browser. If you have not logged in to Cloaked for an extended period you may want to check that you can still log in to the Dashboard on a PC or Mac.

When using autofill with the Cloaked App when logging in sometimes you may need to delete the last character of your password and enter it manually. This usually works if the login/sign-in button remains unavailable after using autofill.

Otherwise, if you cannot remember your password, you will need your recovery key and either use our self-service tool on our website or chat with us at the bottom right of this page for additional help!
