App crashes and is unusable

I just started trying to use ExpiresBy a couple weeks ago. Manually entered all data to the app on my iPad from another app that is no longer supported. Data then wouldn’t sync via iCloud to my iPhone no matter how many resets I tried to do of the app storage in iCloud on both devices. Now after the latest update the app is not opening on either my iPad or iPhone. App support in the store points to the developer’s X account, but their inbox won’t accept DMs and they haven’t responded to a comment that I made on a post trying to get their attention.

UPDATE from 7/1/26: Developer posted a response this week in X. Referenced a fix in the recent update. That was the update that caused the app to crash. Hasn’t responded since I told him that. I have now been able to get the app to open on one device, but that was after deleting the app on the other device, and deleting the data stored in iCloud. While I was hoping the data would be stored locally on the device with the app still installed, it appears that data has all been lost, some of which is not recorded anywhere else.

Response from developer

I'm truly sorry. Losing data you can't get back is the worst thing an app like this can do, and you shouldn't have had to chase me on X for an answer. You were right that the update caused the problem. In version 1.8, if the app couldn't open its data store, it stopped instead of recovering, so it wouldn't open on either device. The iCloud sync switch also wrote to a separate copy of your data, which is why sync looked broken. Version 1.9 fixed both. If the store can't be opened now, the app keeps the old file as a backup (it never deletes it) and still starts, and sync works from the one real copy of your items. If you give ExpiresBy another try, Settings → Backup lets you export everything to a file, so your list never lives in only one place.

App not opening

Need a update soon bcz my whole work on this app ( all good expiry ) & the app doesn’t work or open well
.. we need soon solution ASAP

Response from developer

I'm really sorry you're having trouble opening the app, and I understand the frustration since your expiry data lives there. The good news: your items are stored safely on your device, so nothing is lost. Could you help me track this down? Please update to the latest version (1.8) from the App Store and try again. If it still won't open, I'd love to know exactly what happens: does the app crash right away, freeze on the launch screen, or open slowly? Also, which iPhone model and iOS version are you using? You can reach me directly through the app's support contact in the App Store listing. I'm an independent developer and I take reports like this seriously, so I'll get it sorted as quickly as I can.

I think this app is great

I find this app very useful. My only suggestion is if you can add low- stock warning level. Usually every month I have to go to the pharmacy to receive my medicines so I want to set up reminders for low stock

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback! I have added this functionality in the latest version.
