Hi…I have been doing the questions on my Mac book and on my iPhone but the questions Ive done on one dont tally with the other so when I carry on Im starting on the other device Im starting from a question I have already done. NOW…I hear you say try signing in with your email etc etc…try this try that well I tell you Ive tried it all. Does this mean there is no way to sync if so could you look into making that a thing.

Many thanks
Infuriated.

Ps lovin the course.

Welcome, jompy.

Would you mind expanding more on your issue?

  1. Are you certain you are always online, as you complete the challenges?
  2. Are you completing challenge x and y on your Macbook, then, when you go to your iPhone, only seeing challenge x completed? Is that what you mean?

To describe what happens in the challenges:

  • When you complete a challenge (run the tests), nothing is sent to the server (database), until you click the Submit and go to next challenge button.
  • When you click the Submit … button, your current progress is (should be) updated, and stored in the database.
  • When you login to your account on another device, your current user data is (should be) collected from the database, and your progress stays in sync.

Are you certain you are submitting the challenges, and not just running the tests?

Thank you, for expanding.

This does not sound like expected behaviour, and I cannot think of why being on a different network would cause such.

Out of interest, are you immediately going from one device to the other? Or, does this still happen, if you use one device on one day, and another device another day?

Glad to hear you are enjoying the challenges :smiley:

do you get this issue with all completed challenges? or just the last one completed?

on that pop-up you need to press the “Submit and go to next challenge” button to finish the challenge, otherwise it is not marked as completed

I think I know why it’s happening.
I think you should refresh the page.
