Backing up your data
- iPhone and iPad: Go to “Extras” > “Backup & device change” and tap “Back Up Now”. The backup is safe once it says “Backed up to iCloud”. Weekly automatic backups are on by default. iCloud Drive must be turned on for the app.
- Switching between iOS and Android: Use “Extras” > “Backup & device change” > “Switching to and from Android (via Dropbox)”. This saves all data, but not the settings, in a platform independent format. You need your own (free) Dropbox account.
New iPhone or iPad
- On the old device, make a backup and wait for “Backed up to iCloud”.
- On the new device, sign in with the same Apple ID, start the app and choose “From iCloud (iPhone or iPad)”. Or open “Extras” > “Backup & device change” later.
- Select a backup and tap “Restore”. Then tap “Close App Now” and open the app again.
- Activate your in-app purchases: “Extras” > “Buy features” > “Restore”. Set up Sharing and the camera again.
Nothing is lost by a restore: you can return to the earlier state in the same screen.
iOS to Android
- On the old (iOS) phone: Extras > Backup & device change > Switching to and from Android (via Dropbox) > Back Up Now
- On the new (Android) phone: On first start select “Import from Dropbox”.
- The restore dialog only appears on the first start, when no database is available.
- If you missed it, clear the app data: “Settings” > “(Manage) Applications” > “iHunt Journal” > “Storage” > “Clear data”.
Android to iOS
Make a Dropbox backup with the Android app. On the new iOS device choose “From Dropbox (Android device)” on first start, log in, select the backup and tap “Restore”.
Data exchange between devices (iOS-to-iOS and iOS-to-Android):
- Use the Export, Import & Dropbox Sharing feature to store a copy of your data in the Dropbox storage cloud.
To export all data at once: Extras > Dropbox Import > top right button > Export all entries. - For pure iOS-to-iOS data exchange between own devices, you can use the iCloud backup / restore of the app.
