Dry Run — Support

Check Settings → Privacy & Security → Microphone and confirm Dry Run is enabled. Also check Speech Recognition in the same menu — Dry Run needs both. If the mic is enabled and still nothing registers, make sure nothing else is holding the microphone (an active call, a recording app, or AirPods connected to another device).

iOS downloads the on-device speech model for your language the first time it's needed, so the very first launch requires an internet connection. Connect to Wi-Fi and open the app once; after that it works fully offline. If it persists, your language may not have on-device support yet — email me and tell me which language you're using.

That wording is Apple's, and it appears for every app that uses the speech framework — it can't be edited. Dry Run requests on-device transcription, so your rehearsal audio is processed locally on your iPhone. The privacy policy covers exactly what does and doesn't leave the device.

Yes, after the first launch. Transcription, the live delivery meter, all five signals, and a full rehearsal against the built-in scripted opponent all work with no connection. Only the AI counterpart needs the network — and when it's unavailable the app falls back to the scripted opponent automatically.

On your device only. Audio is discarded when a round ends unless you save the session. Saved sessions live on your iPhone behind Face ID or Touch ID. Nothing is uploaded, and there's no account, so there's no copy on a server anywhere.

Delete the app. Because all data is local and there is no account, removing the app removes every rehearsal, scorecard, and number it held. There's nothing to request from me because I don't have it.

Open the paywall and tap Restore Purchases, making sure you're signed in with the same Apple Account you bought with. If it still doesn't unlock, email me your purchase date and I'll sort it out.

Subscriptions are managed by Apple, not by me: Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions → Dry Run → Cancel. Cancelling stops the next renewal; you keep access until the current period ends.

Refunds are handled by Apple through reportaproblem.apple.com. I can't issue them directly. If something in the app is broken, tell me anyway — I'd rather fix it.

Pro is a subscription — monthly or annual — for people who negotiate more than once a year. The Offer Season Pass is a single payment that unlocks everything for 90 days with nothing to cancel, built for the one negotiation you're preparing for right now.

Readers of Negotiate This Not That get the Comeback Deck free. Use the code from the book's final page — email me if the code isn't working and include your Amazon order number.

Dry Run supports Dynamic Type, honours Reduce Motion, and never uses colour alone to communicate a result — every delivery signal pairs its colour with an icon and a word. If something is hard to use with VoiceOver or at a larger text size, that's a bug I want to hear about, not a limitation you should work around.
