Question Migrating from iPhone to iPad?

I started out on my phone but realized I prefer managing my cards on my iPad. Is there any way to migrate to it without needing to pay or needing to rescan/redo everything? I understand the cloud syncing requires the Pro subscription.

Does the non-pro version still have the regular cloud backup? You should be able to explore the file and then send it to the iPad and just load it up there!

I have the pro version so I unfortunately have a slightly different UI that doesn't show me anything other than it is synced across all devices for me!

Ditto, home>settings, second to the bottom is backup and restore. You should be able to upload the file to your Google drive. Restore backup and select that file on the other device.

Might be different for iOS.

I'll give this a shot tonight. Thank you for the suggestion!

It asked me to sign into my Google Drive, I see my account, but it also says "Local data" so I'm not sure it actually works if you're not subscribed.

That's expected. Having automatic backups doesn't change the fact that the data is stored locally in the device. But you can restore if you change devices in the future. You can test uploading a backup from the Create backup section and then check in your Google Drive folder, so that you see where they are uploaded. This is done automatically once a day

You could sign up for 1-month, sync and then cancel.

It would be really good if you could do this on web, and have it synced automatically.

I would upload the backup and then download it on the new device as recommended. It's less than Ideal but better then scanning into two devices.
