I presumed we were dealing with data which had already been collected, therefore it's been collected without the simultaneous use of disto/topodroid. I have tried to do this before and collect the shots on topodroid after, and have to say I agree with everything you've said. it's a crap situation to be in.
If I realise again that the device tablet won't take measurements, I would probably alter the shots I took.
1) only take measurements for one passage, no side passages.
2) switch to LRUD's rather than splays, (or DLRU's, so that you can see -90 for clino and work out the next three are LRU)
3) hopefully have a pad of paper with a pencil rather than pen so it doesn't smudge (made this mistake too).
but then I agree that taking waterproof paper and a pencil to failsafe the tablet/phone is probably best.
Christine, at this point in time even drawing a grade 1 till you can sort the data out may help you in the long run, then at least you will be able to upgrade your sketch to a grade 2 when you get the data in order. The key thing being if it's a new discovery then you can at least show that you were probably the first in there.
Benfool, Andrew A. may have imported shots before from a disto with no Bluetooth, at least then you would get round the transcribing error. (If he did, then I seem to remember him saying it wasn't easy).
