iCloud sync between devices is unreliable

I have been using Budget Flow on 4 devices that sync together. I input my transaction data on my iMac and wait for the data to sync to the rest of my devices (iPad, iOS, MacBook). The “data” contains one account, around 3000 transactions (due to increase over time) and my use case revolves around exporting transactions history from my bank, transforming an excel file in order to make it compatible with budget flow, exporting a csv file and importing it in budget flow. So, sometimes I add 30 transactions, sometimes I add 100. I use budget flow for statistical reasons rather than recording transactions on the field. Though budget flow seems to take some time to sync up with iCloud, the rest of the devices seem to keep trying to sync but usually fail. Usually, when I load budget flow on all of my devices, after a while I get sync errors (which I thing is just a rate limiting mechanism by iCloud). Even if I try to force download from iCloud, the app was crashing (lately it gives out an error). Finally, even if this ever gets done, I usually have a different number of transactions on my device vs iCloud. The workaround I use is to restore a backup to my devices that don’t sync correctly, but this takes a lot of time. I never got my head around why it takes so long to sync 3000 transactions from iCloud to a device. I can see the counter goes up to the hundreds of thousands [objects]. Maybe there is a way to improve the syncing mechanism? Especially its reliability. Thanks anyway! I like your app! Keep it up! ☺️

Receipts and Transaction Acknowledgement

This may sound like a wild request, but it could be extremely useful for many people. The idea is to have a Print / Receipt option for every transaction entry. When clicked, it should automatically generate a neatly formatted, text-based receipt using the transaction details. Can be made as a template by the user. For example, For an expense: a small heading followed by a short paragraph stating that the amount was paid towards a specific category, to the payee name, on the transaction date, with a small signature area at the bottom. For income: a similar format stating that the amount was received towards a category, from the payer, on the transaction date. This would allow users to quickly create a simple receipt that can be shared as a screenshot, PDF, or image. The receipt number could be automatically generated using the date and time along with the payee/payer name.
