No, it does not makes sense, sorry.
Maybe I did not explained it clearly enough.
I had created a note on the phone, say ‘to do checklist’ with items to check. It was not on my ipad,
Then I went on site with unconnected ipad (it has a wifi only, connected to home network). On remote site, I had created a completely different offline note. Documented ton of stuff, and took pictures. Looked at it while I was Traveling back, it was OK. Note, this offline note was created AFTER the note on phone, and it is a different note altogether.
After I arrived back home and connected ipad to the wifi, I found phone-originated ‘to do checklist’, and ... NO offline note, to my dismay. Entire day of work wasted. Yes, I checked trash, nothing. Logged into web account, as evernote help suggested, nothing. Nothing in trash but old notes. No ‘conflicting changes’ notes present. Nothing in old notes. All notes sorted by creation date-, or change date- show nothing new, but the phone-originated note.
Just FYI, I am a software engineer, so I looked quite thoroughly.
Given all this, you still stating this is a reasonable behavior? Really?
Also, on a tangent, while I was taking the offline note, I’ve noticed an annoying behavior: taking picture in the note, this gives choice ‘use picture’, ‘retake’, or discard. But if you happen to screen-lock ipad, this automatically discard current unconfirmed picture. This is very unfortunate, since if you forget to click ‘use picture’, it will be gone, but the moment is lost forever. Picture not always can be just retaken. It should probably stay in choice. Well, this is a moot point given that I’ve lost everything,.
