Items getting lost when app crashes
Question for you all...have you ever had items get lost when the app crashes? I've been using Finch since mid January, and I've had the void monster eat two items so far. The first time was when I was sending an item to a friend. She got the notification that I sent the item, but her app crashed when she tried to send gratitude, and the item was just gone. It was no longer in my inventory, but it never showed up in hers (thankfully another birb helped her get the item!)
Last night, I had something similar happen. A friend sent me a White Mr Prickles Plush and my app crashed when I tried to sent gratitude. Then the item was just gone. (Also, Strawberry & Rocky, if you see this, thank you SO MUCH for the gift even if it was eaten by the void monster)
I have really loved engaging with all the kind, lovely birbs on the trading thread. I have to periodically prune my tree a little because after 11 pages, my app lags so badly that it gets hard to use. But it scares me a bit that sometimes items can be lost if the app crashes.
I was just curious if this sort of thing has happened to other people?
