Sometimes when im in the middle of writing, it suddenly just clears everything i wrote…? And also sometimes when i switch pages, the moment i start writing onto the new page, notes from the last page would duplicate onto the new one…??? Really annoying, please fix!
Developer Response
Thank you for reporting this, and we are really sorry you experienced that. Losing notes is one of the worst bugs a note-taking app can have.We believe we know which issue you're referring to, and we are actively working on a fix. If you're willing, could you let us know:Which device and iOS/iPadOS version you're using?Does this happen while using Apple Pencil or finger input?Does it occur after switching pages quickly or randomly while writing?This information will help me reproduce and fix it faster. Thanks again for taking the time to report it I really appreciate it.
- Fixed a rare issue where syncing could get stuck and the Sync button stayed disabled.
- Long audio recordings now transcribe reliably and resume automatically if interrupted. You can start or retry a transcript anytime.
- Recording again now asks before replacing an existing recording, so you can't lose a recording by accident.
- Added network timeouts so a slow connection can no longer stall a sync.
