FAQ
If I transfer my app(s) to Lunchbox, will I lose my access to my app account(s)?
No! Transferring your app(s) to Lunchbox does not remove your access to your app account(s). You will retain user access and retain access to all of your app data (reports, usage, analytics, etc.).
Will ‘Lunchbox’ show up anywhere on my app(s) that customers can see?
