Common questions
A bank isn't showing today
Banks don't publish rates every day, for example on some weekends. When a bank has no rates for today, its chip on the Money tab shows a small dot and its rates are left out until it publishes again.
The bank rates differ from my bank's app
acum. shows the cash rates banks publish on their websites. Card, online and large-amount rates can differ.
What is tomorrow's fuel price?
ANRE sets the maximum fuel prices a day in advance, so acum. can show tomorrow's price before it applies.
The app doesn't show distances
Allow location for acum.: iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Location Services → acum. → While Using the App. Your location stays on your iPhone.
How do I add a widget?
Touch and hold the Home Screen, tap Edit › Add Widget and find acum. To change what a widget shows, touch and hold it and tap Edit Widget.
My widget measures from Chișinău
Widgets can only measure from where you are if location is allowed for widgets too: iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Location Services → acum. → While Using the App or Widgets.
The border wait looks wrong
Wait times are estimates from official sources and update about every 10 minutes, but queues can change faster than that. Cameras come from the Border Police and are sometimes offline.
