### 1/5 — Wtf, please help me

*2026-06-07, version 1.7.3*

I just lost everything. You’re stupid app glitches constantly yet I endured it because I already had all my stuff on there. But one day, I’m copying something and it's not working until multiple of what I was copying showed up. I went to delete it but then it started glitching more so then I swiped to the next page. I go back to the original page, scroll down, and almost everything is somehow gone. Almost a years work of writing all gone because your stupid app kept glitching on me. I don’t know what to do anymore. I already have a bad memory so trying to come up with most of it again isn’t going to happen. I don’t know what to do. This might be my last straw unless you can somehow reverse it. If not. Lmk so I can just kms already

### 5/5 — Great

Love it
