Ikes automatically syncs your ideas and metadata to all devices via iCloud functionality provided by Apple. If you notice missing notes or updates, here are some troubleshooting steps you can try.
Confirm Cloud Sync availability
Check the “Sync” section in the Manual tab and confirm that a green cloud icon is shown. If a red cloud icon is shown, sync via iCloud cannot be used in Ikes. To enable the iCloud sync, check requirements and all settings shown bellow.

Large amount of ideas
If you have hundreds or thousands of ideas, when a new device starts the first synchronization, it’s possible that ikes will need some time to finish it. Please leave Ikes open (NOT in the background) while it is finishing syncing. You can check the synchronization status as described in the previous section.
If you have 5,000 ideas, for example, typically syncing takes 30 - 60 minutes to finish it. If you logged into your iCloud account, please be patient to leave the app open until all ideas are downloaded successfully.
Once it is finished, ikes will sync faster and more often on an idea-by-idea basis.
The time needed for this initial sync to finish will vary depending on your internet connection.
