Clunky and annoying
We use the web browser version which works ok (still a few niggles there!), but the iOS version is horrible. For instance, whole chunks of a page can’t be seen in the page view, you have to go into the individual section to see it; the ability to edit a text area is not properly functional so only parts of a section can be edited. There are other small things that make the experience frustrating. The app is not really fit for purpose. Given many users have tablets in the lab, having a functional app would seem quite a basic need… come on LabArchives, sort the app out. 2 stars for having something.

Can Not Even Log In
I can't log in. Multiple tries, sometimes I get close. Sometimes I get to my University's login screen. Once I was able to even complete 2 factor authentication and then I received a strange error. I can use the browser on my phone, but I thought an app might be more reliable. It would seem that isn't the case. It's a nice try, but it's not working for me.

Can’t scroll when typing info
Using rich text option to add my data. I cannot scroll too see info outside of my view. Renders the app not very useful.
Horrible app
I don’t usually write app reviews. I like the web version of LabArchives. But this app is simply unusable. I am on a iPhone 14 Pro. The title of notebook is covered by the Dynamic Island. Also, the button is very unresponsive. Maybe it is too close to the edge or Dynamic Island. Also, there is no support for swiping to go back or forward. Will reinstall with significant improvements.

This App NEEDS To Be Better
Given how old this app is, it is kind of crazy how BAD the iPad app is compared to the website. It is unbelievably glitchy. The inability to choose the color black on the sketch pad after choosing another color is minor but frustrating. This is not an app that focuses its efforts on sketches so I didn’t expect my Apple Pencil to show up as clear as it does on apps like GoodNotes and Concepts, but it looks like chicken scratch. And after using the eraser, the app freezes and you have to exit the sketch, and there is no easy or intuitive way to edit them. It’s also hard to do anything with any of the other forms of media.
This app has so much potential. It just needs to work.

Unusable
Unusable in current form. Needs considerable work to be functional.
Mobile experience is awful
I can’t believe this app has been abandoned on the App Store without any updates for the last 5 years. Entries do not display properly on mobile web or via this app either (good luck reading indented text that gets squeezed down to a few characters per line)… I don’t know how anyone could effectively use this for any work. This entire app feels like it exists solely so that someone can check a box next to “has mobile app” when marketing it to potential clients.

Smooth uploads
I can upload scans of my lab notes and photos of my cells easily from my phone. Seamless integration. Great work!
Bad
The web version is okay and good enough. But iOS app is so bad. Even 1 star rating is too much!!
