I love this App!
I have ADHD among other challenges. I preciously used a number (if not all of them 🤣 and finally found Heptabase!! Between this and Sunsama I am now complete, and, much much much more productive! I look forward to the roadmap and future plans! Keep up the great work.
Does not Support PDF annotation on iPad?
There are tons of PKMs and many have whiteboard options. And many of those have iPad apps. PDF annotation is the main feature that differentiates them from competitors in PKM space but they aren’t prioritizing it for the iPad despite it being stated as what they are working on in their roadmap for a while now. iPads have styluses. That’s a large part of why people use them. Heptabase should have spent more time on the app before shipping it. It should at least have had their defining value proposition in it and then gone on the fix bugs.

Daily Journal + Notion + Whiteboard
Love this app. Finally a daily journal style that allows me to write my most up to date thoughts, but also connect with previous data. I know I’m not maximizing the potential of this app, but just the journal + notion features does wonders for mental clarity/brain dumping. Cards are also helpful to create updates you can reference. Looking forward to the development over time. Thank you.

Needs a lot more work - and soon
I really like Heptabase (the fully fledged laptop version) but this app is poor on the iPhone.
Look at the info for this app and you will see that it says the app will let you read all your info or access your whiteboards. Yes, that is technically true - but it is ALL that it lets you do. It is not possible on the iPhone to add new cards to a whiteboard, it is not possible to edit a whiteboard and it certainly isn’t possible to move or manipulate any cards on a whiteboard.
Given that those things are what Heptabase is all about, that means the app is of very little use.
Yes, you can read stuff and check it. But you can’t change or expand a whiteboard.
A terrible shame, and it seriously hampers this app - which, to be frank, is no use to you if you want to use Heptabase seriously.
The app designers need to put some hours in and get this sorted as soon as possible. It is holding back the whole Heptabase project. If users cannot work with the software when mobile with their phone, then it is not worth forking out for a subscription to Heptabase.

Best brainstorming / note taking / personal knowledge management app I've tried
Thank you for this app. I love being able to see all my notes in front of me and lay them out how I like. I'm actually so relieved to have found heptabase, I feel like I can finally stop searching for a note taking app that feels easy and stable and helps my thought process. I'm excited for every update. It would be cool to be able to draw on the whiteboards with my iPad pen someday 😊

My Deep Thinking Tool
If you’re a visual thinker like me, this app might be what you have been looking for. The tool is one of the best I have ever used and the development is continuous with new features added all the time very impressed with this app and I have been searching foreign wide for something to help me with visual thinking as someone with ADHD.

One of a kind research tool
The design of Heptabase has been very focused from the ground up on solving challenges that arise in the workflows of research and centralizing many sources of information into a workspace where they can be used to document and compile thought processes, notes, and ideas. At a first glance, it may seem to have some features that are similar to other apps like Notion or Obsidian, but this accomplishes things that the others either cannot do or Heptabase does it without the friction of using some of the other tools, which allows for a flow of research and thoughts that is hard to get elsewhere. I’m currently using it to research multiple different fields that I am new to, and the workflow that is possible here is making this seamless and is expediting the process. The iPhone app is a work in progress but the development team makes rapid progress on both the desktop and mobile versions of the software.

Best app except one thing
Incredible app incredible service Remely fast updates. Four stars will change to five when the iOS apps will allow you to drag and re-order cards on the board. As of right now with the iOS apps, you could just make cards but you can’t place them same with the iPad apps. Otherwise, this is my favorite software.

加油⛽需要提高性能
优先级第一是性能啊，现在打开就很卡，可用性不高
iPad app is virtually useless
I love the Mac app and would love to move my workflow entirely to Heptabase from liquid text, but the I am unable to do so until I am capable of doing any real work on my iPad. The inability to edit the whiteboard or interact with pdfs in any meaningful way beyond reading on iPad, a form factor that lends itself so well to markup and spatial organization of notes, particularly when the Mac ui would lend itself so well to a touch interface, causes enough friction that Heptabase just isn’t viable at this point, what feels like a huge missed opportunity. I hope to see this functionality added in the future so I can actually rely on what is genuinely an amazing tool.
