Hm, yes, I see your point, Dellu, but I think Keep It is a substantial improvement over Together (which I like). I’ve made the upgrade (half price, because I already have Together), and I’m enjoying the speed and smoothness of the experience. It’s even possible that Keep It will displace my note apps of choice (apart from Notes itself, that is), i.e. Bear, Ulysses and Outlinely. But we’ll see how it handles the growing volume of information I shall no doubt be storing in it.

Ah well, some disappointment there: just deleted my entire Keep It library after repeated crashing. Reason: I imported ca. 4,500 files from my Curiota store. Okay, a bit brutal, but resulted in two major issues:
- crashes kept happening as I scrolled through and tried to view the files (mostly PDFs, which Keep It handles very well - individually)
- as a result, the iCloud synchronisation was thrown out, causing the app to resync most of the files (so lots of duplicates)
Hm. Bit of a pity. I’m going to try again anyway, but maybe chunking the files into smaller sets…

Chunking is probably the answer. There’s a setting in preferences (“advanced”) to do verbose iCloud logging, which you might turn on during your migration. If problems come up send the logs and crash reports (accessed via Console) to Steve Harris for evaluation. Often helps make a product better when users in the wild submit real-life problem logs.
FWIW, yesterday was iOS release day and iCloud was probably getting jammed by high volume from the user base.

I have to say, Steve Harris has been very responsive to error reports. He’s suggested that for very large imports, I simply de-activate the iCloud sync (easily done via Preferences), then do the import, then re-activate iCloud sync. Cool!
Meanwhile he’s also dealt with a bug that affected very large syncs, so anyone with Keep It should upgrade to the latest version a.s.a.p. (1.0.1 as at time of writing).
