Pull To Refresh iCloud Sync Data Loss | Needs Auto-Exports

8/28 Update: Doesn't fix anything, Developer cannot be reached professionally. He's literally only on something called "X"... which is weird and I'm not making one. He does NOT have an email address, which I'll have to talk to Apple about all of this. I have hundreds of apps and this is the first app that has no email. He did add an "Import" finally, but it unfortunately does absolutely nothing. He evidently doesn't test any of these things before launching. He should look into Apple's TestFlight Developer Program. Finally, at least add a metadata-Editor to match up with the original entry dates, due to it being deleted from original times.

8/16: I legitimately lost ALL of my journals entries upon enabling iCloud Sync on Quick Journal! Now, the only thing that the app shows is specifically six random entries stating: "Test Content" I had over 1,000 Notes now ALL GONE from this app 😭 the only saving grace is if the developer adds code to import existing exported entries from iCloud Drive.

Response from developer

Hey there. I’m so sorry to hear about this experience. I have tried to trace why this occurred and I think I have a potential fix that I will push live as soon as possible. If the update does not fix your solution, please let me know. I also have a way to likely recover your entries using ICloud Backups, if you have feature that turned on. Once again, sorry for the stress. Thank you for letting me know.

Absurdly simple and easy to use (with one request)

I recently found this app while searching the App Store for a handy way to quickly write and store odd thoughts during the day. This app is easy to use right out of the box.

One feature request: integrating a Share system so I can highlight text in other apps and Share it with Quick Journal. Nothing extravagant, don't need graphics import, just text.

Second future feature: simple #tags maybe?

Thanks for your contribution to easy journaling!

very good

love the simplicity and ease of use! i just have one suggestion and one problem.

the suggestion is to add more entry fonts, i think that it would make the app look more put together. i would really like the arial fontπŸ˜†

the bug is: when you turn on icloud, it deletes your notes. now, i've only had one note while this happened, but i've done this one two devices with the same outcome.

thanks for the great app πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

Backup and export

Hey there charlie, downloaded this app after I saw your linkedin post and have been using it for the past 9 months. Love it! But one problem, I have too many notes to export manually and if I change devices, I will lose these notes πŸ₯² please include a cloud storage or export option cause the idea is driving me nuts and the app is too good
