I gave up on this app once because data entered in one column appeared in another and wiped out the original data. Then there was an update, and I hoped these fatal bugs had been fixed, so I started using it again. Tonight I entered data manually in a column, did a cloud sync, and some of the entries disappeared. This is a feature rich, attractive app, but data integrity is paramount. I respectfully submit that more effort needs to be put into testing and less into new features. A database app that doesn’t take care of my data 100% of the time is beyond worthless.
I’m using 2.1 (449) and Mac OS 10.9.1 and version 3.7 on my iPad (7.0.6).
Hi Philip,
I have a fix for this specific issue in the pipeline. I’m hoping to send it to Apple in the next couple of days.
Do you have a backup of your data you can restore to?
Thanks,
Brendan
Thanks. This time it was only a few items so I retyped them. Another issue I had last night was trying to export my data as tab delimited. The app hung up and I had to force quit it. I tried several times, same result, then exported as csv and it worked all right. For some time I’ve noticed that tab delimited files are exported with the csv extension.
Good luck.
Hi Philip,
I think this can happen if you change the default file extension when exporting. Is that what you did?
Thanks,
Brendan
You caught me. Yes, I changed the extension to .tab That used to work.
Hi Philip,
I was looking into that code last night. It’s something I should take care of. It shouldn’t matter what extension you’re using. But there’s code in there specifically to look for a .csv file extension. It had to do with exporting linked forms and stuff. But that’s just an internal technical detail I need to work through.
Thanks,
Brendan
