Terrible interface ..

Better not use it …

Can’t sign in

When I click sign in with institution, I receive an error. I was excited to start using the electronic notebook and being able to write on my iPad but I can’t even use the app so unfortunately I have to give it 1 star

Crash crash crash

Unreliable unstable

No institution sign in

After signing in via institution it sits on a load screen and doesn’t progress further. Unusable app.

Would be super useful if the app…

Would be a super useful app if the app would allow you to seamlessly switch between entries. Once I click on an entry the back button rarely works so I have to close the app to get to a new entry.

Hasn’t been updated in years

As of April 2021:

The app has not been updated over two years, and still does not correctly support iPhone X style screens. It routinely fails to even display rich text entries unless they are clicked on, or displays them incorrectly.

Trash, would give 0 stars

Totally trash.

Useful

You can set the app to log in automatically if you tap settings (when you have logged on) and toggle the auto-login switch. This has been a useful app so far for me, a great replacement for my physical lab book.

Lost text

It doesn’t save my plain text at all. Wrote a long text, saved it, only to find nothing is left except the first 2 lines when trying to continue editing a few min later. It’s my first time using it and already lost text 3 times today.

The worst possible way to store lab notes

Please make your platform more like OneNote by Microsoft. I’m required to use this backwards program by my institution. Honestly, I feel like I’m working on a Windows 98 while using your platform. Everything should change. Everything.
