Flash card syncing update

[juang]

Hello,

I see on some other threads there is way to sync between two iOS devices.I get a warning when turning on iCloud sync. What are the risks that I might hit, and how can I mitigate them?

best,

justin

Risk: your data might start refusing to sync, causing you to be stuck in an endless 'loading' screen.

Fix: we automatically back up your flashcards outside of iCloud once a week if you're using iCloud sync, so if this happens, go into the system Settings app, Pleco, turn on 'fix startup crashes' (which will totally / forcefully disable iCloud sync), then go back into Pleco, Import/Export / Restore Database, and restore from the most recent weekly backup.

Thanks! Does that mean that I lose a week of data?

Yes, though you could always make more frequent backups if you like (Import/Export / Backup Database).
