What if I already connected my LivePen to the inq app on my phone?

If you already installed the inq app and connected your LivePen to the inq app, you will need to do some special steps if you want to connect your new inq pen:

  1. Sign out of your account by tapping the Person icon on the main screen, and then tapping Sign Out. Make sure you see the sign-in screen. This step ensures all your data is saved to the cloud.
  2. Delete the app from your device - only after completing the step above. (Deleting the app without signing out first can result in data loss).
  3. Go to Bluetooth settings and Remove or "Forget" the old pen from the list of paired devices.
  4. Reinstall the inq app from the App Store or Play Store.
  5. Sign in again, then follow usual the prompts to:
    • Allow bluetooth permission.
    • Remove the cap from your new inq pen and accept Pair when prompted.
