[MENTION=3378629]ohhcrapitstim[/MENTION] I've got a big problem.

I use narrate to write down long notes; today, I was transcribing a meeting: write something, screen off, then write again, save note to see how it looks, screen off, write again etc.

Then, at the end, something very bad happened. I turn again the screen on, and I see that A LOT of content disappeared from my note. Only a little part, from the beginning to, let's say, 1/4 of what I've written remained.

Check the file on dropbox, same thing. I've lost the 80% of the text I wrote down.

It's the second time this happens to me, what could it be? Please, I can test everything you want, but this need to be fixed: I just love using Narrate when I have to take notes, but as of now I always have fear that something strange could happen and get my text erased! XD

Also, I noticed another problem: I was trying to delete a note, but instead of deleting that note, the app deleted the others, and that one remained XD

Then, last thing I've noticed but I ask here to have confirm: when the note get long after a while, I get a little lag while writing to add content. Anyone experienced this?

Thanks! I don't want to sound unpleasant or pretentious, is just I'm a little upset because I lost some data very important to me :I
[Android Apps and Games] dhk.-:
I will use this instead of journey :) but I miss the drive sync :/
[Android Apps and Games] ohhcrapitstim:
Awesome, thanks :)

Good to hear :)

Punkiderma, I apologize tremendously that you have lost your data. This is never my intention and my goal is to make sure that never happens. I have never experienced this nor do I know of anyone else who has. I am going to do my best to resolve this issue as soon as possible.

If I have trouble replicating this, I will get in it contact with you! As far as the issue with deleting notes, I noticed this as well :/ But don't worry, I already fixed it and it will be included in the next update!

Have a great day :)

I am working on integrating Drive Sync :)
[Android Apps and Games] Primokorn:
By email though
[Android Apps and Games] Punkiderma:
Don't worry, I know is not your fault :)

I don't know how to reproduce it, since, as I said, it worked good for some time, then I found half of what I've written.

Could be something like this:

1. wrote down something

2.the app syncs with dropbox

3.write more text

4. the app syncs again, but in the other way, and, instead of uploaduing the updated note, download the one synced at point 2

Is just an hypothesis, again, if you have ideas let me know and I'll test to see if we can reproduce it ;)
[Android Apps and Games] dhk.-:
What about the password lock? Is it a coming feature? It is on the options but you can't select it..

I also like the idea of add photos to the post, I'm using narrate as my journal app so it could be really nice to add some pictures of my day

Android wear

I purchased the pro version and I totally love and use this app. I really like the Google voice integration. Is there any way to implement this feature to work with Android wear and my Moto 360? I can add a note from my phone but on my watch it does not add it to the Narrate app list.

Thanks for your work.

[MENTION=3378629]ohhcrapitstim[/MENTION] sorry if I bother you again, but I think I've reproduced the bug.

Today I was writing a note, everything good since I notice that it amde it again: save the note, close the app, reopen the app, look at the note and then the last 2 lines I wrote were missing. Nothing bad luckily :)

I place a lot of break lines by hitting enter, to divide my notes into paragraphs. Could that cause the app to "cut" the note? Or it is lenght related?

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] peestandingup:
I like it & its got great design, fast, etc. Although I'd personally like to see it geared more towards journaling/life-logging than just another catch-all notes app. We have plenty of those on all platforms & its a tough market out there competing with the big established apps from Google, Microsoft, Evernote, etc. Right now it seems like the app doesn't know what it wants to be.

Plus, if you end up trying to do too much & throw too many things at it (like attaching raw files to entries instead of just rich media like photos that can be displayed nicely inline), the focus will be all over the place.

Anyways, that's just my 2 cents. Since it syncs with Day One already (which is def a life journaling app) & those guys seem to have no intention of coming over to Android, that would be where I'd take it. Android has a severe lack of those types of apps (good ones anyway). Journey is basically all we have, and its brand new. And "established" ones for the platform like Diaro sucks IMHO.

Again, great job with the app! I'll keep my eye on it.
[Android Apps and Games] ohhcrapitstim:
I received them! I will incorporate them in the next update :)

I am thinking this might be a result of the auto-save feature? I'm thinking I will include a preference to turn off auto-saving in the next update and then we can see if that is the issue?

Pictures will be added very very soon, designs are done, just implementing them now! The password lock is included, the only reason it should be disabled is if there is a technical issue. I used a library for the passcode lock, but it is on my todo list to redo this with a better in-house implementation.

I am glad you are enjoying Narrate :) I too tried using Narrate with Google Now on my Moto 360, but it didn't work for some reason :/ Wear support is on my roadmap, so don't worry!

See me reply above :)

Yeah I kind of realized this as I was designing the photo attachment feature. I seem to get the most engagement from users who use Narrate for journalling, so I am leaning towards marketing it is a journal. Don't want to have to broad of a scope :)
[Android Apps and Games] Punkiderma:
I'll be happy to try!

Today,took another note,not as long as the other,and everything went well. I tried to put only necessary break lines.
[Android Apps and Games] ohhcrapitstim:
That's good to hear! I honestly can't think of any other reason than the auto-saving. I will work on improving it though and hopefully that will prevent this!
[Android Apps and Games] peestandingup:
Awesome, dude! I can tell just by playing with it for a while that once you get these features baked in, this'll be a great journaling app that'll give Day One a run for its money. Can't wait!

Speaking of DO, does Narrate only send entries to Day One or can it also receive them from there too? Meaning can we import our entire DO database & bring it over to your app?? I've got literally years worth of entries in there with photos, weather, tags, etc.

Sorry if its a lame question, I don't have the Pro version & wasn't quite sure what exactly the DO sync did.
[Android Apps and Games] ohhcrapitstim:
I'm really happy to hear that! I just need to figure out a better marketing campaign and user acquisition strategy.

The Dropbox syncing in Narrate is a full two-way sync with Day One. You can create, edit, delete entries in both Day One and in Narrate and the changes will replicate across both devices. Sorry for the confusion!

Is it too picky to ask for a smaller icon and/or choice of icon?

Reason: it looks way too big compare to others on the dock

Thanks, app still a great concept to me...

[emoji3]
[Android Apps and Games] ohhcrapitstim:
Send me a screenshot of the icon in your dock! I am always interested in improving the icon :)
[Android Apps and Games] ohhcrapitstim:
Alright guys, I am rolling out a new update starting today! There are quite a few new features included! Here is the official list:

+ Add reminders section

+ Redesign locations experience

+ Redesign tags experience

+ Redesign navigation drawer

+ Add developer options

+ Add swipe to sync on entries list

+ Add new translations

+ Other bug fixes

I decided to remove the referral system for a few reasons (both technical and business reasons). If anyone was having issues with it, please email me at tim@datonicgroup.com.

Also, I updated everything on Crowdin, so if anyone wants to add/modify any of the translations, please go here: https://crowdin.com/project/narrate-android-app

As always, enjoy!﻿
[Android Apps and Games] Primokorn:
Any issue with the update? 6 hours later I still don't have the update notification.

BTW I'll check the french translations and I'll go to Crowdin if the app needs some fixes.
[Android Apps and Games] ohhcrapitstim:
I'm slowly rolling it out throughout the day today to make sure things go smoothly! It is a rather big update, so I just want to make sure it works before I push it out to 100% of users. You will most likely have it by the end of the day today :)

But yes, please do check the french translations. Not sure about all of them because I had to do some of the new words!
[Android Apps and Games] Punkiderma:
Just got the update, very nice!

What have you done in the end with the auto save feature?

Also,I've got two question, just to know:

-will tags have their tab(like location and calendar) in the future?

-are you planning to introduce more markdown features? (Like lists,colors,bigger text etc...). I just love to use markdown to note things!

Again,this doesn't want to be an ETA,just to know what do you think about this :)
[Android Apps and Games] Primokorn:
[MENTION=3378629]ohhcrapitstim[/MENTION] Crowdin doesn't seem to be updated. I wanted to translate the Passcode Lock menu and I don't see the original strings.
[Android Apps and Games] ohhcrapitstim:
I'm sorry, but what do are you asking about the auto save feature? I haven't thought about adding a tab for tags, but I like that idea and will definitely be exploring it! And yes, I most definitely can look into adding more markdown features. Just trying to get the basics built out first :)

I uploaded the strings file for the Passcode Lock to Crowdin :)
[Android Apps and Games] Punkiderma:
I'm referring to the issue I've previously got, losing some part of my notes: you said that could be an autosave bug.

Great!
[Android Apps and Games] ohhcrapitstim:
Oh yes. So the auto save feature only saves every so often when you are typing (I believe every 15 seconds or something) and when you make a change to the tags,location, etc. When you press back, hit the back button on our device, or press the checkmark, it will save again. So I'm thinking it could be possible where that last save didn't get triggered while you were typing for whatever reason and you never changed anything else or hit the different buttons. Does that sound like it could be possible?
[Android Apps and Games] Punkiderma:
Sounds possibile.

The only other hypothesis I tought of was the "line breaks" one.

If you want to try to modify the auto save function, I'll let yu know!

UPDATE: talking about that, it happened again: I've lost half of my last note... Again,was writing and saving,writing and saving, then,after a save, my note got cut. Any idea?
[Android Apps and Games] ohhcrapitstim:
Could you describe in detail exactly what you were doing? When you say, writing and saving, writing and saving....are you writing then tapping the checkmark and exiting the edit entry screen, then going back in, writing and saving it again, and repeating?

I apologize you have experienced this. I am just trying to identify what exactly the issue is.
[Android Apps and Games] Punkiderma:
Exactly.

In order to be sure to get the note saved,after writing some text I tap the checkmark,then going back to edit mode. Then,all this again. But once, after tapping the check mark,my note appeared cutted. Got back to edit mode,and in fact part of the text wasn't here anymore. Just vanished.
[Android Apps and Games] ohhcrapitstim:
Okay, I will see if I can reproduce this. You are syncing to Dropbox, correct?
[Android Apps and Games] Punkiderma:
Yes. Thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] ohhcrapitstim:
Ok, I think it may be related to syncing to Dropbox. I'm not 100% sure, but if you just let the auto-save feature do the saving and not constantly save and go back and edit, you might not experience this! Either way, I will try and reproduce it and fix it :)
[Android Apps and Games] ohhcrapitstim:
Just want to say thank you to everyone who has downloaded Narrate! I can't believe it has been downloaded over 10,000 times in just the first month :)
[Android Apps and Games] shall9505:
Titanium Backup issues. When I restore from TB (v1.2(14) of Narrate), all is well, sync updates, etc. Then after I update through the play store, Narrate {v1.2.8(22) crashes on startup. I can uninstall and do a clean install from the play store, and then reenter name, sync info, etc. It would be nice if the restored version would run after the update.
[Android Apps and Games] sanzoghenzo:
Hi ohhcrapitstim, just downloaded your app and it's very good!

I have a question: in wich format do you backup/sync to dropbox? just to be sure I can read my notes/diary on other platforms/applications.

Anyway, I think I found a "bug": when I tried to search a note (the only one I wrote) by title, nothing showed up (the title has not present in the body of the note).

Keep up the good work!
[Android Apps and Games] Punkiderma:
the format has no extension, but you can open the notes with a simple text editor ;) you'll have to respect the note format for title, tag, location etc... but you can find them inside an already create note ;)
[Android Apps and Games] musashihatred:
HI!

never knew this thread existed here on XDA.

I've email several times about the wiping of my entries when i updated sometime ago.

great support :) even though i didn't managed to get my entries back.

I've upgraded to pro so that it won't happen again.

keep it up :D thanks for this app.
[Android Apps and Games] sanzoghenzo:
It's called XML! I bought the pro version [emoji1] I would like to automate some entries via IFTTT (and convert some older notes), could this be possible? Is it a two way sync? What is the file naming scheme?
[Android Apps and Games] ohhcrapitstim:
I was not aware of this. I will play around with TB and Narrate and try to work out the quirks!

It syncs in an xml format that is meant to be read only by Narrate and Day One at the moment.

And thanks for letting me know about this bug, I will fix it in the next release!

Very true! Just be careful not to mess up the unique UUIDs for each note.

Hi, I apologize about the issues you have experienced. I'm not sure what caused it but I am looking into it to make sure it doesn't happen again!

Dropbox syncing is two-way! The files are named based on a unique UUID for each entry.

Hello Sir,

Looking to further development I gave recently purchased the paid version.

Looking to get some backing up going on and hopefully some cross device support.

I have a personal phone and a personal device that I use for work.

Was hoping to be able to keep and sync notes between the two via Google drive.

Upon initial inspection this seems to not work out of the box.

What would I need to enable this type of functionality?

Thanks in advance.
[Android Apps and Games] ohhcrapitstim:
Hello Mystique. Thanks for downloading and using Narrate! I believe this is because of the way Google Drive is integrated into Android. When I "sync" Narrate data with Google Drive, it is syncing with the local copy of your Drive on your phone. Your local Google Drive copy is regularly updated with the cloud copy. For the more technically savvy folk, see https://developers.google.com/drive/android/files. I believe there is a way I can force an update or something, so I will look into doing this for the next release! Until then, I apologize that this isn't working :/
[Android Apps and Games] Punkiderma:
Hi, after some use, I have some other "proofs" that the missing text bug is due to sync, like you said: in fact, if I write inside a place where the signal (so the possibility to sync) is bad, every time I save a note I lose the last part of the text, like instead of saving the updatet version it brings back the old one.

Even if I bought this, I think I'll move to another app until the next update, because I have always the fear to lose some important passages of my notes...
[Android Apps and Games] ohhcrapitstim:
Hi Punkiderma. I apologize for the issues you have experiencing and the way you feel. I will do my best to fix this as soon as possible. I'm not sure why it is happening, but I don't like the idea of losing data either. I will do my best to fix it as soon as possible.
[Android Apps and Games] sanzoghenzo:
Hi Tim, you (and Brett Terpstra) convinced me to buy a copy of day one for my Mac! Just synced the two apps via dropbox, everything looks nice! The only minor problem is the day one default folder in dropbox is not in "apps" but in "Applicazioni" (yes, Italian speaker here!) and it's called Journal.dayone with the capital J, so I had to set it manually.

Keep up the good work!
[Android Apps and Games] ohhcrapitstim:
I'm glad to hear that!! I love the Day One app. And that is why I included support for custom folder locations :)
[Android Apps and Games] ohhcrapitstim:
I have officially released version 1.4.1 of Narrate which includes many new features and bug fixes, including the ability to add photos as well as the viewing your entries on a map in the places section. I also introduced the ability for Narrate Pro users to get early access to beta versions (Sign up here: http://goo.gl/forms/Xzd5Mf7aSc). Look out for some exciting new updates soon!

Hello, its a really nice app in my opinion. I just have 2 questions.

Is there a way to add more than just one picture? And are you planning to add an option for the time setting, so that it is not 11:11 pm but 23:11?

Thanks :)
[Android Apps and Games] Zeyn Karim:
Reminder Notification Icon.

Hey first off i'd like to say thanks for the amazing app! the only issue im having is with the reminder notification icon, it seems to be broken? just a white square, because of that i stopped using the reminder feature entirely, i've cleared app data and updated the app and still not working, anyone know a fix for this?
[Android Apps and Games] sanzoghenzo:
Hi Timothy, I think I found some bugs (or is it just me?) Using Narrate Pro 1.4.1

The daily reminder I set stops working after a while, I think it's when I dismiss the reminder instead of tapping it to write a new entry but it's just a guess

When I try to re-enable the daily reminder (it's still there) it complains about giving it a date in the past. Since it's a daily reminder, it should ignore the date (well, if it's in the future it could be a nice feature...)

The dropbox sync folder shows up as all lowercase, even if I entered it with some uppercase chars. Sync works ok though.

I use Day One, and started using sifttter-redux to automatically log my activities (If you don't know it you have to check it out :) ), but entries created with sifttter doesn't show up on Narrate. I've attached some of my files if you want to investigate the thing.

And last but not least a (feature) request: can you please tell me if I can get to the new entry view via tasker (using an intent)? my goal is to be able to start adding an entry based on an event instead of a fixed time as reminder do.

Thanks for your attention,

keep up the good work!
[Android Apps and Games] ohhcrapitstim:
Thanks for your feedback! I am planning on adding the ability to add more than one picture eventually! And 24-hour time format is included in the latest update!

Thanks for your feedback! I am aware of the reminder notification icon. I am not sure what is causing is, but I am going to fix it soon because that bugs me as well. It doesn't make sense coming from a design-oriented application ;)

Thanks for your feedback! Version 1.5 fixed some issues with reminders. The case of the folder you choose shouldn't matter, but if it does, please let me know! I will have to look into the sifttter-redux thing and get back to you on it! Also, tasker integration has been on my radar since the beginning :) It will be integrated eventually.
[Android Apps and Games] ohhcrapitstim:
Narrate 2.0 has officially been released!!

Here is a change list:

+ Complete Material design overhaul

+ Add expanded filtering and sorting capabilities

+ Add ability to share entries with other applications

+ Add ability to share text/images with Narrate

+ Tasker integration (documentation coming soon)

+ Add a quick entry widget

+ Many, many bug fixes :)

You can now refer 3 friends to download Narrate in exchange for Narrate Pro!

Tasker integration is here as well. Documentation will be available at http://narrateapp.com/tasker.html.

I have a location issue, when I create an entry while in my living room, the location entry says local u-haul retailer. There is a u-haul place about 500 yards away. If the place location can't be correct, a coordinates option would be better than what's happening now. I'm sure the place name "feature" is a Google issue, since the same sort of thing happens with embedded photo locations.
[Android Apps and Games] qusak808:
I love this app, I love the interface. It would be nice if it was possible to add more pics to one note, maybe at the end of the note or something
