When changing from an old phone, iPad, computer, or tablet to a new one, please follow these instructions to uninstall and install the Day One app from the old to the new device:
- Verify that data is synced by signing into the web app at https://dayone.me/ in a web browser
- Compare the entry/media counts under “All Entries” with what is on the old device.
