I have iCloud enabled, but syncing my journal between devices does not appear to work.

Sometimes a device may become "stuck", unable to sync iCloud data with other devices. This may sometimes occur for only a single app. If you encounter this issue, first ensure that your devices are all up-to-date with the most recent version of iOS, notably a major iOS update such as iOS 7.1 or later.

If the problem still occurs, the following workaround appears to resolve syncing the Yi Jing journal for most users.

Reset iCloud:

  1. Open the Settings app
  2. Scroll down until you see the Yi Jing app in the list and tap that
  3. Under Journal options, set Use iCloud to Off
  4. Return to the top level of the Settings app
  5. Tap iCloud
  6. Under Documents & Data, set Documents & Data to Off
  7. Restart the device: press and hold the power button until it indicates Slide to power off then slide to power off, wait several seconds, and press and hold the power button again
  8. Open the Settings app
  9. Tap iCloud
  10. Under Documents & Data, set Documents & Data to On
  11. Return to the top level of the Settings app
  12. Scroll down until you see the Yi Jing app in the list and tap that
  13. Under Journal options, set Use iCloud to On
  14. Restart the Yi Jing app


To confirm that the reset worked, make a change to a journal entry, and wait several minutes to confirm that the change appears on the other device (note: both devices must be connected to a WiFi or cellular network for syncing to occur)

For some users, deleting and reinstalling the app may also resolve the syncing problem.
