Trying to find iPad text files in time machine backup

I lost my texts from an ipad app called “Compositions” after a recent IOS update. The app was discontinued six years ago. I’ve dealt with Apple Support and scoured the internet for solutions with no luck.

Since I back up my ipad to my mac (not the i cloud) and since I do regular “time machine“ backups, I assume the missing texts are somewhere in my time machine backup. I’ve tried fishing around itunes folders in the backup with no luck.

Where might I find texts files associated with an i pad app in my time machine backup?

thank you!

Thanks for your response.

I backed my ipad directly to my desktop — no icloud or backup service. I then regularly did a “time machine” backup of the desktop to an external hard drive. I don’t recall specifying any options as to what to backup. I think the time machine backup backs up everything — basically makes a copy of the entire computer. In the backup, there are folders that say iTunes but I can find specific text files associated with the out-dated app.
