iCloud Sync Across Devices

Sound Safari automatically syncs your data across all your Apple devices using iCloud. There's nothing to turn on — it works out of the box.

Requirements:

- Both devices must be signed in to the same Apple ID

- Both devices must have Sound Safari installed

- iCloud must be enabled on your device (Settings > Apple ID > iCloud)

How it works:

- Changes sync automatically in the background

- New students, sessions, and notes appear on all devices within minutes

- Deleting data on one device removes it from all devices

If you see "iCloud sync unavailable":

This banner appears if you're not signed into iCloud. To fix it:

1. Open your iPhone's Settings app

2. Tap your name at the top (Apple ID)

3. Sign in to iCloud (or check that iCloud is enabled)

4. Reopen Sound Safari — the banner should disappear

What syncs:

- Student profiles and avatars

- Practice session history and scores

- SOAP notes and templates

- IEP goals and progress

- Homework assignments

- Custom word lists

What doesn't sync:

- Audio recordings (stored locally due to file size)

- In-progress session data
