Waste of Money

This app is buggy garbage that doesn't work. I asked for a refund and Apple said 'so sad for you.'

So here is your one star for a trash can app that doesn't work.

No user guide available. No demo.

I searched YouTube to get help but found nothing. Nothing on Google either to give me support on how to use this app. The développer says it’s simple to use but it is not really that simple. For example, what is the difference between a topic, a category and a subject? How can I tag notes? Nobody to ask....

Amazing research database!

I love this program, and use it to keep track of every piece of information I want to keep track of. It does a terrific job of tracking bits of info, sources, and authors. It’s also great for grouping the information you’ve collected by theme etc.

Not perfect, but there’s nothing better out there.

It absolutely has some bugs, but nothing app or feature breaking. I’d consider them minor annoyances, but otherwise the app is great. It’s really helped with multiple research papers I’ve I recommend if your major requires you to write research papers.

The dead arises

Worth noting that this app which had been abandonware was updated recently. Fantastic potential but really needs desktop functionality and sync. Could be a great Zettelkasten or Slip Box replacement if they would put the effort in. At the moment is very focused as a project-based research card tool.

Bug that causes loss of information

No response from the developer. If you don't want to spend hours entering information that will be lost or erased, don't get this app.

Dear developer: Why spend all that time and money developing an app, only to lose it by neglecting to upkeep it? With a little upkeep and a few marketing videos, this could have been a bestseller.

Previously: I previously reviewed this app and gave it a five star, but after encoutering a bug that locks me out of the information I entered and then crashes repeatedly when I try to click on it, I had to change my review. The backup of information is very important, and if this app is unable to do that in a way that retrives uncorropted information, it cannot be used for serious research. It takes hours to enter information in, and losing that is unacceptable. I'm hoping my information is not lost.

I have written to the developer. Depending on the response and resolution to the problem, I will be changing this review to either a five star (if resolved) or to one star (if it's not resoloved - because this would make the program unusable).

Previsously:
This app is amazing for academics, college students, journalists, and writers. I keep track of all my sources, citations, writing topics, and authors here. I only wish there was a manual on how to use, because it is a little confusing.

No guide to use it

There is no user manual or video available to show you how to use it.

I have emailed several times, got auto-acknowledgement, but never a reply.

Retried the app after May/June 2018 update. App crashed as soon as "Use iCloud" was selected in Settings!

Base de donnée très utile

J'ai commencé à l'utiliser afin de classer les paroles de mes chansons favorites.
Elle est parfaite pour moi.
Merci.
Après 18 mois d'utilisation je suis bien satisfait et je connais rien d'autre pour gérer les références aussi bien.

Abandonware- Beware

There has been no movement in this app for quite some time and the developer has not responded to my numerous requests as to information on further development. So I can only conclude that this is abandonware and Apple should pull it from the store.

You can do better...

Let's keep it concise. You probably already have the best app in this category. This could have been a contender, but the last update was over a year ago. By the way Ilaro, not to be confused with the Nigerian city of the same name, means, "tool set," in Esperanto. "Nekompleta," is Esperanto for the English word: incomplete. How hard is it to add a sync feature (in any language)?

Did you ever note that the green elephant has his own page on Wikipedia?
