cloud daily by the iOS app, instead it kept the backlog of due
notes as scheduled by the desktop app.</p>
<p>Clearly, your sync function doesn't work. I left the desktop app
running last night for an hour without any transfer of current data
from the cloud to the desktop. Then this morning, when I turned on
the iOS app, the scheduling from the desktop was transferred to the
iOS app.</p>
<p>My internet was down for 6 days. But even if it was down for
just one day, this problem tells me that I have to make sure I sync
my desktop app daily after I complete my studying for the day on
the iOS. This was not a problem with the old wifi of Version 1.</p>
<p>I suggest that you introduce the feature into the desktop app
that asks if you want to keep the cloud data or the desktop data
prior to the sync. At least until you have fixed this problem. But
I can't use this desktop app, which is what I use to edit cards. So
unless I get an iPad, so that I can edit on the iOS app instead, I
guess I am done with this app. I'll just continue to study what I
have on iOS (I now have to go back through 6 days worth of due
notes again.). But I am switching to Anki for any new cards. Email
me if you come out with a new version that fixes this problem and
I'll give it a shot.</p>
<p>Of course, we've been over it before that you oould just go back
to what works, which is skipping the cloud and using wifi sync
instead. But you say that means those with iPads will have to take
one extra step to sync with their other iOS devices, So I
understand your focus is on iOS-only users. But once you can
support the segment that uses both the desktop app and the iOS,
which I think will include those who want an app for serious
long-term study, perhaps you will see an increase in those users
that becomes meaningful.</p></div>zeppo
