⏰ Sumone Time

What is SumOne Time?

SumOne Time is ‘when EggMon delivers the daily question’, and you receive the question at the time of your choice when you set up SumOne Time.
To better handle the influx of users using SumOne at once, we set a limit on the number of people that can request a question per time slot.

How to set SumOne Time

* The SumOne Time Change Ticket from [SumOne Gold] allows you to select from any time slot including sold-out times.
* Even if you purchase [SumOne Gold], please note that you can only change SumOne Time ONCE.

Why is it that only SumOne Gold users can change SumOne Time?

Why is it that only SumOne Gold users can change SumOne Time?
The service was developed to deliver a question once a day(24 hours), and as such, various errors may occur if SumOne Time is changed frequently.

We have notified several times that it is impossible to change SumOne Time, but as many users have requested to change their SumOne Time, we have added the feature to change SumOne Time.

To change SumOne Time, please refer to the FAQ [SumOne Time – I want to change SumOne Time.]

I can't see the SumOne Time Setting.

1. Did you both answer the first question?
The SumOne Time Setting button will appear on the main screen once you and your partner complete answering the first question.


2. Did your partner already set SumOne Time?
If your partner has already set SumOne Time, the setting is complete and you will not see the option to set it.

If these don’t apply to you and you still can’t see SumOne Time Setting on the screen,
please contact us through [Home – Couple💍 (bottom right) – Contact SumOne].

How do I set SumOne Time if I'm in a long distance relationship?

If you and your partner are in countries with different time zones, the SumOne Time will be adjusted to match the time of the user who first set up SumOne Time.

Example
[User A] User in the United States
[User B] User in South Korea (+13 hours)

If User A sets SumOne Time to 9pm, it will be set at 10am for User B.

Why does our SumOne Time change during Daylight Savings Time?

💌 Question / Answer

Does it accumulate if I don't answer? / I want to receive the questions I missed.

SumOne is a system that allows you to receive a new question when both users have answered the question.
If any of you do not answer on the same day, the next question will not be delivered to you.

Up to 1 questions can be answered on the same day depending on the SumOne Time you set, but no further questions will be accumulated.

Please understand this is our service policy, and that we cannot add additional questions for you if you don’t answer on time.

I'm not receiving the questions.

1. Check that you two have the correct SumOne Time!
You can receive questions at the SumOne Time set by you or your partner, and you can check SumOne Time at [Home – Couple💍 (bottom right) – Our nicknames – SumOne Time].

2. Make sure that you have both answered the previous day’s question.
You will only receive the next question after both answers have been submitted.

Why can I receive only one question a day?

The reason there is only one question a day is to make sure that couples don’t feel burdened like they ‘HAVE TO’ write their answers.
The goal is to write a short answer once a day, and to share each other’s thoughts on a daily basis.

You may feel that there aren’t enough questions, but it gives you the opportunity to elaborate on the given question and share your deep feelings every day!

On top of that, we are planning various additional contents such as adding questions and memo features for our users who want to share more with their partner.

I want to extend the character limit.

If you watch an advertisement by selecting the [limit x2] button on the bottom of the page where you write your answer, the character limit will get increased from 200 to 400.

Also, SumOne Gold users have a character limit of 600 with no ads.

How to use comments

You can write a comment only after answering the question by going to [Answer page – 💬(bottom right comment button)].
If you have not answered the question, you will not be able to see the comments to that question.
