What happened?

This app used to work great, counted down to events, then counted up once they had passed. Opened the app today and EVERYTHING has disappeared.

I’ve lost all of my data

I’ve lost all of my data. I’ve been using this app for years, and now all of my dates and events are gone. This is incredibly frustrating and disappointing. I relied on this app to keep track of important dates, and now everything has disappeared. I hope the developers address this issue and provide a way to restore users’ data.
