🌧️️ Initial syncing takes too long or never finishes
Note
This only applies to Wokabulary 6 and 7, not to the current Wokabulary version 8.🏁 Initial Syncing on Wokabulary 7
In Wokabulary 6 and 7, iCloud syncing is handled entirely by macOS and iOS on a System level. This System Syncing performs quite badly with large vocabularies. Additionally, the System can decide to slow down or pause iCloud syncing when it feels it needs to save resources.
For this reason, we have completely re-writting iCloud Syncing and data storage for Wokabulary 8.
Please update to Wokabulary 8 from the App Store
💾 Update to Wokabulary 8
Wokabulary 8 is a regular update. You should receive the update automatically, but you can also manually install it from the App Store.
If you are having issues with syncing on one device, please make sure to first update the devices that have all the data before you update the device with syncing issues. This is, so the complete and correct data set is migrated to the new sync system first. Then the other devices can pull that correct state.
✏️ Other Syncing Issues
If you have already updated to Wokabulary 8 but new words or changes you make are not synced to other devices correctly, please have a look at our article 🌩️ Changes are not synced to other devices via iCloud
Tip
Note that syncing continues in the background even after the loading screen disappears. If you don't immediately see all your words or languages, don’t worry, they will appear while syncing completes.
