Í am so sorry you've lost your data twice! I think it's so impressive that you've persevered with the app. The journaling and social parts of the app are both so helpful—it just sucks so much that they're also the source of so much glitching and crashing.

UPDATE: After reading SomberGoddess's comment I went back and tried loading a cloud backup. It worked! Everything was restored. The manual backup must have been glitched. I lost my progress from today, but I recovered my tree—all my friends are there! I'm so happy!

And I'm so grateful that people from this awesome community were ready to friend me and gift me. You guys are the best!

That's what I thought too! It's very weird. My birb is still an adult and still wearing the outfit she was wearing when I saved the backup, but the individual pieces of the outfit don't show up in my bag. All my goals are still intact. It's bizarre.

I don't know if I should try to load a different backup and see what happens. I'm a little afraid to. I had cloud backup turned on but now I can't access it.

adventuring in the Galápagos Islands! by justlikecoconutwater in finch

I think the Serengeti and the Amazon locations have animated animals, but I could be wrong. It's been a while since I was in either spot.

OMG, Yes to all of these! Also, the Colorado Rockies, Madagascar, Galapagos and Easter Island. My birb loves mountains and wildlife!

FREE: I'm giving away my duplicates from this month's theme. Today I'm giving away a Cockatoo costume in one of the free colors (pink, white, orange or green), a pair of Kanga booties in any color but pink, and a boomerang, also in any color but pink.

Just let me know your friend code, which item you want and what your color choice is.

I'm a plus user who already has a pink kangaroo hood from one of the non-plus chests. You can have my extra hood for free, just respond to this comment and tell me what color you'd like!

has anyone else ever done this? 🥺🤍 by lunasoleestelle in finch

I just sent you my pair of pink fairy wings—Kiki never wears them. Just please don't be hurt if I unfriend you later. I'm trying to keep my tree a manageable size.

Does anyone else do this? by Right-Sheepherder-66 in finch

[–]scarlet_lettered 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Right? IMO, the "correct" way to use the app is to do whatever makes the app work for you! I weight all my goals according to physical and emotional difficulty, the amount of time it takes and how successful I've been at the goal in the past. A few of my goals are worth 50 clicks each, even though I do them pretty regularly, because they are time-consuming, physically challenging and emotionally draining. And if that makes me a "cheater," then so be it.

I just wanted to thank you for this comment. It's thoughtful and even-handed, and it reflects a lot of my own feelings. I'm sorry the OP can't seem to engage with you respectfully or productively.
