Drop Box Sync is Seriously Broken

[raybostonParticipant]

Hi,

I’m finding that the Dropbox sync function is completely broken.  The following steps are disastrous:

* Create page on iPad

* Add a picture or other element

* Close Magicpad app.

* Note files have synced to Mac

* Open page on Mac

* Add data, change things.

* Close Magicpad on Mac

* Note files have synced

* Open Magicpad on iPad

* Changes are not there!

* Close Magicpad on iPad

* Note changes to files in Dropbox

* Open Magicpad on Mac

* Changes are not there either!  They have been lost.

 

The only workaround I’ve found is to create a backup page on the Mac so that the iPad cannot destroy the data by copying the old version of the page over the new version.

I’ve encountered the same problem. I love using MagicalPad but this is a serious dampener on its usability. Can developer pls address?

[edgleyParticipant]

I have the problem that pages already created, when edited on the iPad are lost upon sync!

Thats two evenings work wasted

[edgleyParticipant]

Shame not to have heard from the Dev about this.

Some Apps seem to get new drops to fix the most minor of things, yet something that is stopping us from using the product isn’t addressed.

[edgleyParticipant]

Doesn’t anyone else wonder why we have heard nothing about this problem?

I am desperate for something that is MagicalPad, but cannot live with this losing document stuff.

Am now at the point of asking for a refund for the Mac App and the iPad App so I can go spend it on, sigh, OmniFocus  

[raybostonParticipant]

We can get a refund?

If so, I am on it.  This is unusable.

[edgleyParticipant]

As far as I know we can, but I think we have to go via Apple to get it.

Will have a go this evening, as I need a working solution and there be nowt for free that can cut it.

Just typical to have found the only App on the store not to have a developer all over it to make it just how his users want. If only Curio had an iPad app there wouldn’t be a problem.

[edgleyParticipant]

Just used the FAQ button at the bottom of the App Store and have asked for a refund for both versions.

Will let you know what happens next….

[edgleyParticipant]

Money has been credited.

Didn’t have to do a thing other than the initial reporting of the problem with Apple

The only s/w that I can find that comes close is iThoughtsHD as a replacement.
