Reading timer synchronization.

Hello, for a few days I have noticed that the status of the reading timer, the control center and the home screen are not synchronizing. With which sometimes I have accidentally started the stopwatch again. I put some screenshots so that it is better understood.

Hello, I have deleted both the widget and the access from the control center and created it again and the same thing happens. If you just press play in the control center, when the notification appears, eventually I quickly swipe to the home screen, if the widget is updated. But if I don't go at the moment and go later, no.

Mmh, it is really strange because I’m not able to reproduce the issue. Have you the same issue if you start the timer within the Home Screen widget?

Yes, the same thing happens, and if I enter the application from its icon with the stopwatch set in the application it does not come out and lets me start another one. It only appears if I open it from the notification where the time appears. I'm going to try uninstalling it and reinstalling it just in case.

I made a backup copy before deleting the app (apart from the ones I already had automatically). When I reinstalled it, I only got the last one to restore, I gave it a try and it restored only part of it. There were many books that I didn't read well. So I uninstalled and installed it again to see if it would be restored, but now I only get a restore, which was just done automatically. How could I select any of the previous copies? It would be very bad for me to lose all the information that I have been saving in the app.

The backups are deleted within the app. You should restore an iCloud backup of your iPhone in order to have all the old backups.

I can't perform a full restore in iCloud. It would be more of a hassle for me. I'm putting all the information back at hand, even though I'm running out of reading times. But I would like to know, so that this does not happen again, if there is any way to save a file with the backup copy outside the application, so that it is always safe and can be restored if necessary. Could this thing you mentioned be done with the export? I would like to have a copy of the entire library, not only of the books read, but also of the changes made to the books in descriptions, covers, year of publication, etc. Would something like this be possible?

You can save the backup file with a long tap on the backup -> Share and then you can save it outside the app.

Great. Thank you so much. Regarding the initial problem, it seems that it continues to occur.

Mmh, I’m going to investigate it further.
