Restore purchases

Get Sakaba Plus back on a new device or after reinstalling, without paying again.

Sakaba Plus belongs to the Apple Account you bought it with, not to one device, and there’s no Sakaba account to sign in to. On a new iPhone or iPad, or after reinstalling, Plus usually comes back on its own once you’re signed in with the same Apple Account. If it doesn’t, restore it.

Restore Sakaba Plus

  1. Tap the gear at the top left of Home to open Settings.
  2. Tap Sakaba Plus.
  3. At the bottom of the page, tap Restore, next to Terms and Privacy.

The App Store may ask you to sign in. When your purchase is found, the page closes and Plus is active. Restoring is free; it never buys anything.

Restore is also on the Sakaba Plus screen at the end of the welcome steps, so you can restore on first launch.

“No purchases found”

If you see No purchases found — check you’re signed in with the Apple ID you bought Plus on, the App Store answered but found no active Plus for this account. Check that:

  • You’re signed in with the Apple Account you used to buy Plus. Purchases don’t move between Apple Accounts.
  • Your subscription is still active. You can check under Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions on your iPhone or iPad.
  • If Plus was shared with you through Family Sharing, the person who bought it still has it and is sharing it with your family group.

“Couldn’t reach the App Store”

Couldn’t reach the App Store — check your connection means the App Store couldn’t be contacted. Check your internet connection and tap Restore again.

Restore only appears while Plus is off. If the page shows Sakaba Plus is active, Plus is already on and there’s nothing to restore.

Good to know

  • Plus restores Plus only. Your own recipes, journal, favorites and bar come back through iCloud, not through Restore. See iCloud sync and Back up and restore your data.
  • Bought on another device? A purchase made on another of your devices reaches this one on its own while Sakaba is running.
  • Settings has no Restore row. The link is only on the Sakaba Plus page.
