Please Note: When you transfer Bunny Trails to your iOS device, you are creating a copy of BTS' original file. Changes made on your iOS device are not automatically synchronized back to the original file, and vice versa. We encourage our customers to use the iOS version as a read only app for their device or as a stand alone app.
BTS WILL NOT MERGE THE DATA FROM AN iOS DEVICE AND A COMPUTER. It will simply overwrite (or replace) the file that already exists. So, be careful not to make changes on one device and then make changes on the computer.
