Hi, what do you mean with "scam"? The app works as expected, it does what it promises, the AI assistant works correctly. If you have a bug to report, please send it to matt.cianna@gmail.com

Recent update deleted everything

I avoided updating for a reason, and that is the reason. I had a feeling everything would be deleted if it's requiring a new account setup. I used this for a year or more, and now all the local data that was backed up with icloud has just vanished.

Response from developer

Hi, I am very sorry for your data loss. However, the account-managed version has been released 5 years ago (in March 2020), and we've kept the legacy backup active for 5 long years. After that period, we've assumed that every active user have updated the app and we've removed the legacy backup in order to keep the code clean. Anyways, this is our definitive business model, so your new decision won't vanish.
