Leave a Review NotePlan
Finally!
I have been searching for an app that gave me the flexibility of bullet journaling and the speed and convenience of searching. And it syncs across all my devices! This app has finally made me feel as if I have the level of task organization I've always wanted coupled with the notes organization I need to keep work, personal, and school things straight. I've recommended it to everyone I know who has iOS devices and/or Macs.Show lesslbhobbs
Perfect note-taking app
I wanted a notetaking app that allowed me to quickly capture to-dos when in meetings, comingled with my notes, then later look at all my to-dos across all meetings in a bundled view later. This app does that and so much more. The rate of feature releases is insane, and the attention to detail is breathtaking. I really hope this app stays small and continues to put the note taker at the core.Show lessJoe Gahona
The Goldilocks of planners
A good balance of freeform and structure. I’ve used TaskPaper, which is all text/markup, and plenty of rigid GTD apps, but NotePlan feels like the “just right” synthesis of the two.
I really like being able to create my own documents separately from calendar driven to-do lists, and that even the calendar pages allow note-taking.
The Markdown editing implementation is among the best I’ve used. Markup characters don’t clutter the text normally when reading, but show up when I edit.Show lesssneJ
Noteplan 3 is unstoppable!
Hi there,
I recently downloaded this app and fell in love with it at first sight(or use). I have used all other productivity apps out there across both iOS and Mac, but nothing comes close to the features Noteplan provides. The ability to access and modify my notes, tasks and calendar, all in one place, cross-platform is beyond amazing! That is the foremost thing that sets Noteplan apart, in fact, a class apart from all other apps out there. They all seem to be missing one or the other feature and the closest anything has come to meeting that benchmark, is this app. I saw that people were raving about it on Twitter as well and I couldn't help but get this. I am on a free trial right now and I am set to get the paid version of the app in Sep -The fact that I am leaving a review at this stage is only indicative of the HUGE potential and brilliance of this app. I observed also, like one of the other reviewers here, that the development team is quite responsive and I really appreciate the fact. As a fan of this app, you can expect your team hearing from me with inputs and feedback along the way - I want to see this app get better and the best! There is so much potential here and I am in love with this! Thank you for your and the work of your team to make this possible! 🙏🏻😀

Hi Anubha, Many thanks for your review and for your kind words, I appreciate it! There are still so many exciting ideas we got (mostly from the community :)) to work on! Let me know if you have any questions or problems, just reach out in our Discord community or drop us an email (hello@noteplan.co). Best, EduardGreat note taking app!
I initially used version 2 and found it to be intriguing but not as useful. When v3 came out, I was blown away. Not only is the new version a vast improvement, but the developer is constantly pumping out updates with the help of a community on Discord and Reddit. Currently, I don't use this app because I have had to cut down on the number of apps I subscribe to. That said, I really like the way the UI and UX of the app. I love how easy it is to keep track of tasks and move them to the next day or other dates.Show lessT.Wyatt
Wow.
I don't know what it is with me, but I am incredibly particular when it comes to note-taking apps. I've tried them all - practically literally. Bear, EverNote, OneNote, Notability, GoodNote, SImpleNotes, Roam... I could go on and on.
This one is by far my favorite. It seems to combine the best features that I love with new features I didn't even know I wanted.
This app is so, so good. I'm looking forward to next semester. :)Show lessDesserts.
Developer Limitation
*Responding the the Developer Response:*
I want to report back that i am in fact using the CloudKit sync option on across devices. I also happen to notice the that mentioned sync issue is also raised by others in your app review by zverhope and gop1334. I am not sure if this is your way to deflect the problem or a way to buy time in resolving the limitation and app maturity. I second my voice with the other reviewers on fixing the aforementioned issues. Thanks for the response and looking forward to a real fix!
*Original Review*
Poor technical implementation, the app in itself shows great concept on the productivity category. However, a lot of the sync, sort feature are actually rather basic. Mentioning a few of the annoying parts of the application, among them: new notes is only in a single designated location, inconsistency sync between devices bringing old folder structures and notes back, lag from url pasting and other daily qualm. From an expectation point of view for a productivity app, this app just make it annoying for the user once they invested time into it.Show lessonAppView
Developer Response
Thanks for the review! Sorry that you are not satisfied with the features. There are tons of feature requests and I need to prioritize which are the most popular ones. The sort functionality and choosing where to store your files are unfortunately not at the top of the list. Regarding sync, it sounds you have used the Dropbox option which is in "beta" and I kept it only in the app due to requests. Please use CloudKit or iCloud Drive. They don't have such problems. Pasting an URL has a lag because it needs to load the website and find the "title" attribute. You can alternatively turn it off in the preferences under "markdown" and the lag is gone. Do you have any other points I could address? I encourage you to reach out to hello@noteplan.co or share your troubles in our Subreddit (reddit.com/r/noteplanapp). Best, EduardAn excellent, flexible app
This is absolutely my favorite discovery of the last few months - a flexible app that allows me to do everything from plan my tasks for the day to sketch out projects, all with an easy to use but powerful linking system. Better yet, its use of plain markdown files is the ultimate in portability. I never thought I'd be able to give up Things, but I've finally made the leap and haven't looked back!
A great option for people to use as a digital bullet journal or even in conjunction with analog tools, and active development means the feature set is expanding all the time.Show lessMirai90
Finally!
I’ve been all over the place with planners. Notion/Physical/Digital/Bujo. I actually use this App for notes and planning. I did *not* want another sub on my plate, but I will keep this unless the price goes up and then... who knows; I’ll resign myself to Apple Notes or Google Keep I suppose.
If it helps, I chose this over Amplenote, bc even though I like how they handle reminders, NP3 was a dollar cheaper a month and plays well with Obsidian... which I use bc I can’t afford Roam.
Bottom line....do not be intimidated.Show lessNoHope4Franklin
Excellent productivity app
I’ve tried just about every productivity app and method out there, but found most to be lacking.
NotePlan’s functionality really works for me. The mix of note taking and productivity is great, but the diy nature of this app and the use of user accessible markdown files to store your information is what really sets this app apart. It’s probably not for everyone, but it’s definitely perfect for me.
And the developer is awesome and really cares about this app.Show lessHeasle
