Ok well the company does not exist anymore. It was called "Bedroom Developers LTD".
This ***** but the workaround that was stated in the blog about using the "iphonebackupextractor" and the sql browser works like a charm !
Follow vkirbys and EmuX steps and it will work. It did for me ! THANKS BY THE WAY VKIRBYS and EmuX !!!!!!!
Just so you don't have to look for it...here it is...
The solution from EmuX definitely works and I got back every single record from Safe note!
Here is the link for the extractor
https://www.iphonebackupextractor.com/free-download/
Here is the link for the DB Browser
DB Browser for SQLite (use this to open the sqlite file that iphonebackupextractor creates
http://sqlitebrowser.org
As EmuX said, make sure you are n the Browse Data Tab and in the main window on left side, scroll right until you see the column headings ZTitle and ZText – this is where you should find all your missing records
Then on the DB Browser menu right at the top of your screen (when you have DB browser open), there is an option to export your information as a csv file .... there will be a few columns of rubbish that you do not need but all your data should be there - if it works as well as it did for me
What a life Saver ... !!!
