FAQ
  • Why are there two versions of iFarsi (with and without database)?
  • Unbundled database version avoids unnecessary downloads of the database with each release. However, some users have not been able to download the database, so we have provided both versions. Please try our suggestions under the question "I can not download the database, what should I do?" and if they do not resolve the issue, please try the version which includes the database. There are links to both versions in Download section.
  • I can not download the database, what should I do?
  • In rare cases we have received complaints from users that they can not download the database. Here are recommendations that have solved that issue for them:
    • Disable and then enable your WIFI and try to download the database
    • Uninstall and then reinstall iFarsi and try to download the database
    If these do not solve your issue, please try the bundled version under Download section or contact us at info@farsitown.com with details (device info, iOS version) so we can look into the issue.
