### 3/5 — Runbuddy zeichnet nicht mehr auf

*2021-01-08*

Leider ist seit neuestem es nicht mehr möglich, dass die app im Hintergrund aufzeichnet. Der Timer läuft auch nicht weiter, wenn die App nicht mit entsperrtem Bildschirm läuft. Hintergrundaktivität ist natürlich erlaubt.

Update für Entwickler:
Ich benutze die iPhone App

**Developer response:** Hallo z0mBy1991,
Danke für die Info. Hast du mal probiert dein iPhone neu zu starten?
Viele Grüße
Oleg
