Flashcards Deluxe Issues on iPad

[amosfuegel]

Hello, I am using Flashcards Deluxe version 4.59 on my iPad Pro 11” 3rd generation running iOS 16.5. I have synced with Dropbox and can see that the card sets are fully synced – the files appear in the app, just like on the iPhone. However, when I try to open or use these card sets on the iPad, they do not work as expected: the content does not display or I cannot start studying as usual. Meanwhile, the same card set works perfectly fine on the iPhone.

Do you have any idea what could be causing this? Is it a separate setting on the iPad, a difference in file handling, or a compatibility issue? Please give me some suggestions so I can fix it and use the card sets fully on both devices. Thanks.

When you say "sync", did you turn on the Sync feature in Global Options? Sync is good if you want to study on multiple devices and maintain statistics across devices. If you don't need this functionality, then you can fairly easily export and update manually within the app on your devices.

I have no idea why the decks appear to have download but you are unable to study as expected. I can't even guess what might be going on.

Since you are using Dropbox, as a test, I'd go to your iPhone, swipe left on deck, Edit, Export/Share, Dropbox, and export a deck to Dropbox. Then on your iPad, tap + (add deck), Dropbox, download it. Any issues?

If you want the sync feature, I recommend using the "App Server" sync. That is fully automatic (after you've told the app which decks you want to sync and do the set up). Dropbox requires you to manually tell the app what to download when there's an update. So unless you have a specific concern, create an App Server Sync account and try that. If you need guidance on this, let me know.
