Safe Note app after iOs 11 Update

I hope this helps you, I went in to settings, went down to accounts and passwords, clicked on app and website passwords and anyplace I have ever logged in to on my phone or iPad was there.

I did backup my safenote file 3 month before on email , and use the stuffltexpander program (free) to open , and get my most my password back.

This way works 10000%.

Just follow the steps correctly.

Thanks man

there is a solution on this site from EmuX that will help you recover your information. As far as I know there is no way to upgrade the App as the developer is no longer around

I managed to open my safe note backup by replacing the ".pdf" with ".zip" and then extracted the file. The contents of the file was my saved notes.

I hope this helps.

If you read through all 12 pages of this thread you would know that the developer of this app abandoned it long ago so it will not be updated.

I believe the developer is www.codedrop.co.uk I have the same issue. I cannot get any of my files. It looks like they have stopped all support of this app. I am very bummed.

That is not the link that was provided on the app site:

I used Safe Notes for years now and you gradually put everything in it. I will definitely be using Notes from now on, I didn't know you could lock it until this situation came along, thanks for you assistance, I still have some very unpleasant conversations coming up.

There is a way to downgrade back to ios 10.3.3 but downgrading IOS did not get the app back.

Safe Note was working fine under 10.3.3 but even when I did downgrade the IOS back to 10.3.3 and then restoring an backup on 10.3.3 the app did not come back. I think that backup does not actually back up the app and has to get the app from the app store. So when restore tried to get the app from the app store and the app was no longer available the app disappeared from my iphone even though it was running 10.3.3.

I noticed that I also lost another application under 11 so after reverting to 10.3.3, I did get one of them back. So reverting to an earlier IOS version does restore some apps.

I may have lost more apps but did not check to see whether all my apps came across. I probably will not go to ios 11 at the moment.

Apple should have warned the user on their device before upgrading that these apps on the device cannot be migrated to IOS11 at the moment and don't do it unless you do not mind losing the apps. Shame on apple for their attitude that they can do what ever they want and we have to suffer the consequences. Apple knew that this would be the case but ignored their hundred of million of customers.

I spent many hours trying to get the app back, restoring to the previous ios version and many more trying to get my passwords private info back. Some info will probably never be retrieved.

Actually in iOS 9 (and 8 I think) you were given a warning that it would slow down your iPhone.

In iOS 10 you were given a warning every time you opened a 32 bit app that it would not work with future versions of iOS (iOS 11).

The writing has been on the wall for at least 2 years, even more.

Thank you so very much for your advices, Emux and JORYNNRACE !

iPhonebackup extractor and DB Browser for SQLite do work. While I am a middle aged not very good at computer stuffs, I successfully retrieved the information from my backup.

This just happened to my wife this morning when her phone updated overnight. She now has lost access to her passwords and other info. I use Notes app in iOS and lock them. Sadly, she did not.

I spoke with Benny of “Safe Notes” and his app is different from Safe Note. The other developer is incommunicado from what I can see and those using it are screwed. So sorry.

In the method that I used above, I used a backup that I created after installing iOS 11. As long as Safe Note is still on your phone after installing iOS 11 (even though it won’t run on the iPhone), you can still find its files in a new backup.

I am in the same boat. I spent an hour on line with Apple today, they had me restore from backup, which did nothing. They said to go to an App,e store. I went to the Apple Store and they said it was impossible to revert to IOS 10. I am so upset! I lost passwords, IDs and more.

If you have not yet upgraded your iPhone 5 to the New iOS 11 then your Safe Notes app should still be working fine just as well it has been. Make sure you write down (paper and pen style) all the data you have in your Safe Notes app.

Use the safe note app feature that lets you send an email back up copy of all the Safe Notes data. Be sure you don't choose to send the data encrypted, if encryption is offered DON'T encrypt the data before you send the email.

The email when if arrives, will have a file in it that you can drop into the Stuff it Expander app. Just change the .safenotes suffix to .zip as mention further up in this dissuasion thread. Dropping the file into Stuff it expander will show you all your data. Because Safe Notes won't open on my iPhone any more if can't verify if Safe Notes offers you the choice to encrypt you data prior to sending the back up. If it does offer this choice DON'T choose to encrypt the data.

I am now using the Apple "Notes" app using the iCloud feature that Notes app offers. It updates across all my Apple devices that has the Notes app. Also I'm using the 1 Password app which work very well, the learning curve is just a little steeper. Good Luck.
