Lost data on journal app

My daughter has been keeping a daily journal on a subscription app on her iPhone 11.

We had a week without broadband and she was using 4g instead.

since then, all her previous journal entries are gone. A years worth.

Does anyone have any suggestions of how we can restore this data and why it would have happened?

there is a button on the app saying ‘restore purchase’. Not sure if I should do this or not.

any advice much appreciated. Thank you.

Greetings JTNW22,


If you are missing data on an installed app, you'll need to contact the app developer directly to inquire about possible data recovery options. You can learn how to contact an app developer here:


How to contact an app developer - Apple Support


"Contact the developer of an iOS, iPadOS, or watchOS app

  1. Open the App Store on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
  2. Search for the app, then tap it. If you can't find it, tap the account button  or your photo at the top of the screen, tap Purchased, tap "Not on this [device]," then tap the app.
  3. The app's product page appears. Scroll to the Ratings & Reviews section, then tap App Support. If you don't see App Support, make sure that you're signed in with the correct Apple ID.
  4. In the App Store on iPhone, the App Support button is at the bottom of the app's page."


Take care.
