Restore Content Overridden By Restoring a Note
-
I was just making an essential outline at the base of a master note— I dropped my iPhone and in the process a line of text deleted. So I went into history to try to simple restore it since “shake to undo” did not do anything as the app also exited when I dropped the phone.
Upon seeing the old version in the restore pane I was not able to scroll at all to view it— thinking it was stuck and I needed to hit restore to scroll to the bottom of what I had just written (as I had been working for 30min), I hit restore. I then discovered that— no, that was just a version of the note with none of what I had just worked on. It was a version from 9:11pm I had dropped my phone at 9:45. I am connected to LTE and on the internet and syncing is on. However when I initially went into restore just trying to gain back one line of text and moving the bar over as little as it would go, it took me to 9:11pm.
Now in trying to restore 1 line of text it appears I have deleted the entire 30+ min work session of essential outline! …I did not think this would be a problem considering any basic sane recovery system for workflow has a Time Machine like option where if you go backwards to view old versions u can still go forward to the most recent. Now looking in the recovery history the only most recent version there is for 9:12pm..??????? (It’s 10:14 bc it took me 30min just to get logged in here to post / contact support)
what is going on and where is my content. Am I seriously to believe that for this kind of app reliability wise after 40 min of writing while plugged into the internet nothing I wrote synced at all AND That there is no way to go back forwards in time on note restoration, to go back to the most recent edits from a restore (AND that you can’t even view the previous version of a note to restore before hitting restore and deleting everything with no warning you will lose your content and need to manually copy it???)
Where is my content and how do I get it back? Is this really how the app is set up after all of these years without even a basic “undo” icon at the top?
please help I need that content as I cannot remember it executive function wise, and it’s why I wrote it down in a quick accessible note taking app in the first place.
how do I access the content?

Hi. Just to be clear, are you using the iOS Simplenote app loaded on your iPhone, or the Simplenote web app (app.simplenote.com) in a browser?
