Crashes

Any attempt to open my notes crashes the app

Can’t view notes :(

Works for pushing docs to my Boox Note Air 5 C. But when I try to view my one of my synced notes on iPhone and iPad, the app crashes every time . As this app has not been updated in a long time, I’ll assume the devs don’t care.

Not very usable

I own a box ultra c, a 7 inch, a note 5 c I would think I’ve invested enough to expect a decent iPhone app to add stuff to my boox devices. Half the time when I open a note it spins then crashes. The app stinks.

Solid

The UI is a little funny but it works well enough for my Note 4C. I don’t get the hate.

Missing read-in app option

I guess it does what it describes, but the lack of in-app reading option leaves much to be desired in terms of the overall ecosystem experience.
