Export, Don't Backup – inClass Review

I used to love this app. My entire graduate school career was stored on this app. After graduation I would refer back to my class notes from time to time. One day I want to review some old notes, and they were gone. All of them. My entire graduate career, vanished. In a panic I looked to see what backups were on iCloud. None, no backups on iCloud at all. Although I had checked after previous app updates to make sure my notes remained undisturbed, apparently one update wiped out all of my notes and I made this discovery too late. Not that it would have mattered; the notes were already gone by then. So use this app with extreme caution. Sure, it has all sorts of nifty features, but if you're looking for an app that you need for referring to your notes on a long term basis, either look elsewhere or be sure to export your notes into another application like Word. This will require further massaging which is a pain, but it's less than the pain of losing your entire graduate career. :-(
