oh god, I'm still on Step 21. why

Learnt the hard way that there's no autosave.
Goodbye all of my progress.
Huh? I'm pretty sure it saves automatically. What happened?
Unlocked all the songs without quitting because I normally just put the vita to sleep.
Closed the app because I wanted to play a bit of Danganronpa AE.
Reopened IAVT and I seemed to have lost my save.
Got confused so I keep quitting and reloading, resulting in me having to play the goddamned tutorial too many times.
So I realised something and went to see if there's a save option. There is. I saved, and then when I went to load game I didn't have to go through the tutorial again.
Edit: On second thought, I recall the game asking upon first start-up if you want to use auto save. Maybe you said no.
The game does have an auto save feature which can be disabled (but is enabled by default). You must've accidentally disabled it in the options.

I have no idea how to activate it at all then.
Anyway, I was making step up mode and verything was fine until step 17 in hard. First one that I actually had to retry.
That makes me feel really bad now, haha. I probably did 50+ retries on step 13. Currently stuck at step 16 but I haven't really had the time to play more than 30 minutes in one session, which makes it harder to focus and remember the combos.
This seems like the best place to ask.
I've never played any of these types of games, (due to being really, REALLY bad at them) but I've been thinking about getting in on them. I'm thinking I'll either get this or P4D. Can anybody who's played both tell me which of the two is easier? It sounds like this is easier on normal difficulty, but at harder levels it's stupid hard cause songs are long? I'd probably be happy with either but I'm curious which is more newb friendly.
I haven't played P4D yet, butIA/VT isn't bad as a beginner rhythm game. It has 8 inputs (4 directionals and ps buttons) and the systems could be a little confusing at first, but the easy/normal difficulties are pretty forgiving. If you want a cheaper alternative, there is Senran Kagura Bon Appetit (warning: there is fan service).
If you have a 3DS, Hatsune Miku Project Mirai DX is also beginner friendly. The Project Diva on the Vita, not so much. Theatrhythm Final Fantasy Curtain Call is also other great choice for beginners.
Now, if you want a rhythm crash course, get Rhythm Fever for the Wii. It will teach you the very basics of rhythm and you should have no futher problems with the genre.
Thanks, that's helpful, although I never bought a 3DS or WiiU (my old Wii crapped out a while ago). I'll look at Bon Appetit, although I have no love nor hate for that series a cheap, easy rhythm game might be a better introduction.
Also I swear my problem with these games stems from the "I actually play guitar" guitar hero syndrome. At least that was the problem with rock band and those games, these I don't know what my problem is, maybe cause it's similar to drums? I could never handle the drums.
Step 16 is the number of cools. I also get this quite fast, but perhaps it's because I played other rhythm games
Keep trying, eventually you will get it.

The number of cools is no problem, I usually have around 1100 and only 800 are needed. I'm struggling to get an A ranking on the second song. I think I came pretty close yesterday, pulled off a 200+ chain and only missed 4 notes but eventually it was still only good enough for a B rank. I think I'm having too many safes.
I find that song particularly difficult because the notes seem too random and not go with the beat at all.
And some of the notes do not blend well with the music at all. It's weird. That's why I like the harder charts, because they have less of those holes and you can guide yourself along with the music.
Yeah it's probably the main criticism I have with the game. Nevertheless it has somehow grown on me and I really enjoyed it. I haven't played a lot of rhythm games on the Vita, which one would you recommend the most?
Taiko is also fun, but the music selection isn't really suited to my tastes. A lot of songs that I really like, but many others that I would pass.
I played Taiko as well and quite like it but I couldn't handle the Oni difficulty. I picked up one of the Project Diva games on sale, will give it a go after I've completed IA/VT. How do they range in terms of difficulty?
Is this worth the import?

Just finished SSS/Perfect-ing everything on hard, and I gotta say, this is probably the most fun I've had with a rhythm game (maaaybe excluding going apeshit on Donkey Konga 1/2, but my memory has trouble going back that far). The track list is absolutely exceptional in both size and quality, and I found the mechanics more suited to my tastes than Project Diva, especially with the d-pad and face buttons being separate. I'm not enough of a purist to be bothered by the lenient timings, and the absence of button mashing segments was a complete godsend, since it's easily my least favourite element in games like this.
