iPhone/iPad iCloud Settings
You can use iCloud to sync data between your iPhone and iPad so you can share the same data.
The data that is synced is item data and select list data. Other configuration information is not synchronized.
Synced data is shared only between devices logged in with the same Apple account through the user's own iCloud Drive folders that are not directly visible to the user. Furthermore, the item data itself is encrypted.
In addition to automatic synchronization, you can also explicitly upload to and download from iCloud.
About iCloud sync
Synchronization mechanism when iCloud auto-sync is ON
When the application is launched, this application compares the update date and time of the data on the device (iPhone/iPad) and the data on iCloud, and loads the newer data.
Save data to both the device and iCloud when the app is closed.
Data update date comparison, saving and loading are performed collectively for all items.
Precautions before iCloud synchronization
Please note that if you enter data separately for multiple devices before iCloud sync, only the data for the last updated device will be valid.
If you want to share data between multiple devices, please turn on iCloud sync before entering data on each device.
When iCloud sync is turned on
If you have entered data on multiple devices separately, follow the steps below.
1. Upload to iCloud from the device that has the data you want to share with other devices.
2. For devices other than the above, download from iCloud.
3. Turn on iCloud sync on each device.
This procedure is also useful during sync if you think something is not syncing.
Data update date and time and data communication
The last update date and time of the data on the device (iPhone/iPad) and iCloud is displayed, which can be used as a guideline for the synchronization status.
Due to the mechanism of iCloud, it may take several minutes to reflect the data between the device and iCloud regardless of the update time. Also, when the network environment is bad, it will be reflected collectively when the network environment recovers.
Notes during iCloud synchronization
Please note that if you open this app on both iPhone and iPad at the same time and edit data on each device, the edits made on one device may be ignored.
If you use as above frequently, it is safer to use upload to iCloud or download from iCloud instead of turning sync ON.
It is a good idea to create backups from time to time, just in case, as you may unintentionally use the above when syncing with iCloud.
Precautions when upgrading the app
Please try to upgrade the iPhone and iPad apps that exchange files with iCloud as much as possible at the same time.
If you update data while only one device is upgraded, the old version device can read the data saved by the new version device, but you cannot save the data using the new function due to the version upgrade. Therefore, you may lose data using the new features.
When synchronizing with iCloud, make a backup before and after the version upgrade.
Backup
Takes you to the Backup Manager where you can back up and restore.
You can also automatically take a backup before restoring.
Reset Settings
Resets the settings changed on this setting screen to their initial values.
No item data or picklist data will be deleted.
Clear data
Item data and selection list data can be deleted all at once.
The backup file will not be deleted, so delete it on the backup management screen if necessary.
You can also take a backup automatically when clearing the data.
Full Version
This app can create up to 50 items by default. If you want to add more items, please consider purchasing the full version as an in-app purchase.
Once you purchase the full version, all features added in future updates are free.
