Needs widgets

We need to have the ability to add widgets to the phone’s home screen. This is the primary thing I loved about Notion and I’m sad to see AnyType doesn’t have ANY widgets whatsoever

Good but inferior to the desktop app

Very good but lacks support for embedded charts (graphviz, mermaid), that are otherwise fully supported on the desktop app. The toolbar does not render properly (bold and colour wheel missing) on iPhones with zoomed display (aka Larger Text)

Amazing

Much better than notion

Keep on doing your best

More of a cheerleader post. I need this app to stay and i can't wait to financially support them!

Great offline Notion alternative

While still in beta, missing some features, and still polishing out UX and onboarding, Anytype provides a vast majority of the functionality of Notion, except its offline and private.

I was fully invested in Notion since their early days, and am now slowly migrating to Anytype because not having offline access to my notes and data isn’t acceptable.

Can’t create a new type

Love it, finally something to sort out my chaos. I can’t create my own new type with the app, and in the recently edited view when I long press to and click move to bin, it just opens the object instead of moving it to the bin.

Inaccessible

I like the product principles on display, but the design has sacrificed basic usability on the altar of minimalism. Folks, an edge swipe gesture cannot be the only way to go back up a navigation stack, and a vertical swipe cannot be the only way to close a modal sheet. In this app you cannot leave a modal sheet or a navigation child view when using VoiceOver. Default touch UI users also have expectation and muscle memory to tap a back button where it usually appears, which does not function.

This is a productivity tool, not SnapChat. Please use the basic toolbox and conventions of iOS.

Still can’t export anything

App is useless to many creatives without ability to export writing.

Has potential

Needs simplifying, the default experience is too complicated for the average user.

Excited to see where it goes

It is still in its early stages but this has a lot of potential to be the best personal knowledge management apps
