The App Is Running Slowly — What Can I Do?

This article explains how to troubleshoot and improve app performance issues. You'll learn effective steps to speed up the app and maintain a smooth user experience.

1. Common Causes and Fixes

1. Close and reopen the app: Force-close the app (swipe it away in the app switcher) and reopen it. This clears the app's active memory and is the fastest first step.

2. Check your connection: A slow app is often a slow connection. Check if you're on weak Wi-Fi or poor mobile signal. Switch to a stronger signal or mobile data if Wi-Fi is unreliable.

3. Free up device storage: If your phone or tablet is almost out of storage, apps run slower. Check your device storage (Settings → General → About on iPhone, or Settings → Storage on Android). Delete unused apps or photos to free space.

4. Update the app: Older versions of the app may have performance issues. Check the App Store or Google Play for a Xenia update.

5. Restart the device: A full device restart clears background processes and usually improves performance significantly — especially on shared store tablets that run continuously.

6. Clear the API cache: If you have access to Diagnostic Tools (side menu → Diagnostic Tools), you can see the API cache size. If it's large (many MBs), clearing it may help — but only do this if the Xenia support team advises it. Do not clear storage on your own.  

Following these steps will help you resolve common app performance issues by clearing memory, improving connectivity, restarting your device, and ensuring your app is up to date. For more information, see related troubleshooting articles in our knowledge base.
