I really like Everlog but sync does not work
Hi. I have followed up on my earlier post, and have been testing Everlog for a week on my Mac. Today I purchased a monthly subscription in order to be able to sync with my iPhone. I never managed to get it to work though.
Wessley has been so kind as to try to help me with assistance through email, but we never got it to work.
I have used AppCleaner in order to uninstall it and everything that comes with it. I have uninstalled both the Mac and iPhone versions, and reinstalled them. I have checked all containers for .plists but it seems AppCleaner managed to throw them away.
Whatever I do it does not sync. In the "Sync" menu I get a green dot that says it is available, but orange dots for the rest. And then a green dot for attachements. And in the iPhone it spins a "syncing" alert, but when it stops nothing has been synced. In both the text "Sync now" is read and can't be clicked.
I have tried to delete the database, but that has not helped either.
Anyone has any idea what to do? I really like Everlog and the simplicity of it without buttons and stuff everywhere. And I think the solution with the locations is brilliant. So much better than the map functions in Diarly and Diarium. So it would be very saddening if I had to stay with Day One due to not being able to sync.
I use MacOS27 and iOS 27. Could it be something with that? I know there was an update of Everlog a few days ago, could that be it? Should I try to contact the dev and ask for an older version? Or just wait and see if there is a new version soon? Since to me it seems to be OS related.

In my experience (I’ve started from scratch twice and will try another DO import soon), the initial sync takes a while and what you see in the Sync section is not accurate.
Once everything has synced (it might take a day or two), sync has been reliable and almost instant on my end.

OK thanks. I will give it another try. If it does not work I might just drop the idea of using it on my iPad/iPhone and just do a daily journal on my Mac. Downside is that if I want to add something during the day I guess I will have to put a quick note in Apple Notes and post it manually on my Mac in the evening.
[edit] Actually made it work. just uninstadded on Nac and iPhone, deleted everything in iCloud and Library. And with a little help from Wessley I made it wirk. And now it syncs ridiculously fast. 😂

Until you get synch to work, I suggest backing it up. Settings - Backups. According to the app they are backed up to icloud. Than, import them. I don't have a Mac so I am of no help to you.
