It crashes each time I try to do this.
V. 1.0.8 (ist that the most recent?)

[mouser]

how strange.. i tested it here and it worked..
when does it crash?

v1.08 is the latest i believe.

EDIT: I tested on v1.02.  Let me try on 1.08..

[mouser]

Crashing here too with importing on v1.08.. Why did no one tell me this before?!?!

Working on it..

[mouser]

I've uploaded a new version (1.10) to the google play store.. make take a while before it becomes visible.

[mouser]

Sorry if it still isn't available.  Google rejected my update because in the description I wrote:
"My wife and I use this app to review a small set of relationship questions each week during a long walk."

Apparently the concept of a human coder describing how he uses the application did not compute.  Their complaint: "The app's full and/or short description includes unattributed user testimonials or more than five attributed quotes/testimonials"

Ha!

These are the times we are living in, google play simply could not comprehend the concept of an author commenting on how they might use their own app..  Sigh. Ok google, you win, I've removed any semblance of appearance that a human being made this app and removed that statement.

[Deozaan]

That's stupid. But even so, it sounds like all you needed to do was add " - the author" at the end of that statement so that it was attributed. But it's still stupid.

Just reporting: still not available

[mouser]

Should be available now.

[tomos]

I updated
Am I doing this right:
Tools / Import... /...data from URL

Using your link (https://kk.org/thete...-unsolicited-advice/) I get the error (ocr therefore bad formatting):

Failed to open downloaded file
content://downloads/all_downloads/6841
Import aborted: java.lang.Exception: Error
parsing import file: Unknown file format for import data. Should be json or simple
text that whose first line starts with
@FILEFORMAT:#.

[mouser]

no.

Sorry my instructions weren't very clear.

It's Tools -> Import -> Browse Suggested..

Then you'll see a list of available imports.. The new one is at the bottom.

[tomos]

^ okay, got that thanks.
So was there even a bug... 

[mouser]

So was there even a bug.

Yes.  Google continues to increase security stuff on Android, and it seems that some recent changes broke the location my code was trying to download the data files to during import.  The recent update fixes this.

This is an app I have to admit I dont use very regularly, but I do keep coming back to it.

My main use scenario is for adding individual quotes that I find particularly (practically) helpful or ones that make me think, that stir something up inside. FWIW I'm not saying it's the best app for saving quotes -- and I generally type in the quote which is even slower -- but it means it sinks in more, it allows me to digest it another bit. Then I use the slide view and scroll through the notes.

So, thanks for the app
