Ask Annie support

Requirements, instructions and troubleshooting for the Ask Annie app.

Ask Annie is an engaging education platform offering self-paced micro learning. Annie, a carer, guides learners through scenarios based on the real life experiences to strengthen their skills in delivering support to all clients, not only people living with dementia. The modules are short and focused on providing practical ways to address challenging situations.

Troubleshooting

When I try to login, I get an error message of “Invalid credentials for login”

This indicates that either your password or your username is incorrect. If you need to reset your password. Select “Forgot Password” from the login screen then enter your registered email address.

I am using Ask Annie on a Tablet device (iPad or Android Tablet) and the perspective looks unusual

Ask Annie is designed to work on both Android and Apple smartphones. Ask Annie may still work on Android and Apple tablets but is not optimised for these devices so it may look unusual.

Ask Annie is not responding on my Phone

Firstly, confirm that your device meets the requirements. Ask Annie is compatible with Android smartphones using Android 8.0 and above as well as iPhones running IOS 14 and above.

Try uninstalling and reinstalling the app, if this doesn’t work then update your phones operating system and retry.
