An embarrassment

This is a truly terrible app. I don’t understand why guru even put it in the store. No functionality at all it’s like they just wanted to say they have an app to tick that box.

Guys - make a proper app or just out take this out the store it is not befitting off the quality of the app you have on the web.

App is simple, easy to use. Desktop version is better.

The mobile app is simple, which is good. But I wish it worked a bit more like the desktop version.

Not made for iPad

Really disappointed to find a lack of a proper iPad app for Guru considering how useful the tool is. It’s just the iPhone app resolution on iPad- useless!

Great service/product, terrible app

Guru is truly a fantastic, lightweight knowledge management product. My team of over 100 people use it everyday, and find it to be the perfect balance of power and simplicity, and recommend the browser-based UI to anyone.

However, it seems that the iOS app is an effort to “check the box” and say they have an app - but the app is near useless. It DOES let you search and view content. Great. What about commenting? nope. What about creating new cards? Nope. What about editing existing cards or adding tags? nope. It’s purely a content access app - while there is some value in that, it barely scratches the surface of what people would want to do on a mobile device (commenting, for example)

Can’t navigate, can only search. Disappointing.

I like the guru site but this app is dismal. It is iPhone only and I want to use it on my iPad. It runs but only lets me see recent notes or search. It does not let me navigate the hierarchy of entries created on the site.

I’ll stick with a browser until they come out with a true iPad app.

Please support iPad!!!!

not compatible with iPad cannot rotate screen or search when working on iPad!

Possibly the worst knowledge tool

It’s amazing how much effort they’ve put into sales and marketing when their product doesn’t deliver. Search is nearly useless and the attempt to rely on tags doesn’t scale up as you add documentation, formatting is often broken, and using it for more than the most basic knowledge base begins to break down. Many integrations are listed but their mostly so basic they don’t provide value or they don’t actually work at all. Steer clear.

Must have!

Collects information in one place and easy to search, very useful and use it on a daily basis, guru is great

Buggy and not built for iPad

When you search if doesn’t find content, and interrupts after a character or two to say no search results found. Doesn’t allow you to scroll content of cards. On an iPad although it buts it only runs in portrait mode and sits small in the middle of the screen. I’m very happy that Guru have released an iOS but but there’s much work to do. Would be great to also see this ported to macOS as an app.
