I’m so frustrated
I spend ages working on something and then it kicks me out and deletes everything. 😤 other than that this app is ok.
The app doesn’t work
The app has potential, unfortunately it doesn’t work. Yeah it’s pretty and everything but it keeps crashing on my iPad Pro. I mean how can I work if my work continuously get lost? Will update review if it gets better.
This Deserves 5 Stars
This app does exactly what it’s supposed to do and does it really well.
Not perfect, but just right
I don’t usually write reviews for things, but this app deserves this. I have looked, and there isn’t any other app that does what this app does. It’s simple it’s easy, it’s going to help me SO much with writing in the future. And there isn’t an accursed subscription. Maybe I’m cheap, but I don’t like subscriptions. And as long as I limit myself to one to two projects at once, I shouldn’t have to spend a dime :) I was seriously about to go out and buy a cork board and a ton of notecards, and then I saw this app, and it really saved me, because I don’t have any room for a cork board. So thank you.

Would be higher if the app didn’t crash constantly
I find that constantly I create a card only for the app to crash loosing anything I’ve drawn/written with no obvious way to save while editing. Its actually infuriating.
*Almost* great…
Love the interface, its beautiful simplicity is exactly what I was looking for to plot my story. I feel like a lot of the alternative apps are trying to hard to wow you with useless bells and whistles or, worse yet, AI nonsense.
So CardBeat is my pick!
Alas, it is also quite buggy.
Sometimes I’ll spend several minutes writing a card, only for the program to crash and delete it. Of course, I can remember and re-write it, but it’s quite a disruption to the process.
I’d consider going “pro” if I was more confident in the program, but until then…it’s good enough.

One board, really??
Lovely I absolutely adore the app and it’s settings! I find it easy to use and quite helpful with the ability to rearrange things! Yet there are many, and I mean MANY setbacks. First of all, is there seriously only a singular board to go with? I would say atleast five is a small but good amount especially without buying, but ONE…? Really? Come on now. The nest is more of a personal preference. I feel you should be able to zoom in more to the cards. It’s just a small pet peeve of mine that I can deal with, but the one board is really something that I hate. Please consider adding more, even. If it’s just a couple I would be much happier.

Great App!
This app works really well! I mostly use it for plotting out my story ideas, and the features available work very well. There is some features I still would like to see though, including being able to have a set text size and being able to resize notes. This app is very functional and I much prefer it over many other apps. The only downside to this app is that the boards have a restricted size, and the free version only allows two boards! I’d buy the pro version but I can't see myself paying $40 AUD— which is a lot of money.

A complete game-changer!
I write constantly. For years, my girlfriend has tolerated rows and rows of sticky notes covering our walls. This app does everything I need as a writer, and all while being quite privacy-conscious. This is a must-have for novelists, screenwriters, anyone passionate about storytelling!
This is a very, very good app… but,
… it needs some more functionality with formatting, colours, backgrounds etc. and generally, a few more options.
The MAIN thing is: it needs to be £12.99 one time purchase. It’s good at what it is, but what it is - is not a £22.99 app.
Creating cards is all well and good, but that’s all it is. If it was, I don’t know, also a notes app with a calendar then, yeah £22.99, but no.
I use the free one in the limited role from time to time and as I say, it’s excellent at what it does.
If they give it some more ‘format’ functionality and half the price then, you’re on.

It deleted all my stuff
I’m very sad bc I spent a long time writing my stuff on here and it deleted it 😥. You can also only have two boards unless you pay which is kinda useless
doesn't function at all on mac so
might've been good, - especially on iphone or ipad - but doesn't work at all on mac. as well as that, the 2 boards limit just seems silly and not in a good way. it's as if the app is torturing and annoying you into purchasing the full version rather than making the user love the app enough to purchase the full version knowing how reliable and useful the app is to them. It seems like it might've been good but it just doesn't function and with that, doesn't offer any info and way to help other than repeating the "purchase full version!!1!" again and again

Almost perfect!
Fantastic tool for the chaotic mind that wants to keep it simple! Love how clean and smooth the interface is with options to write on cards or the board itself. I really, really want to give this 5 stars, and it’s nearly there - it would be perfect if only there was the ability to add photos that can also be resized. Still, very glad to have found this app!

Excellent UI, needs more bells and whistles.
The controls feel very natural in terms of taps and swipes compared to another similar app which felt very unnatural having the user go back and forth tapping with 1 finger or 2 fingers or dragging with 3 fingers, this one feels good to use. I think they need to revisit monetization maybe sell additional boards in bundles or singularly for a small fee. Also needs more features, would love if boards were on more of a grid we could have option to snap to just to keep everything more in line. I would also love to be able to put more information or a photo on the back of the card. Maybe a few words on the front then detailed explanation on back would be awesome.

Only 2 Boards
You can only have more boards if you pay an extra 23 dollars for it.
hope to add chinese language

Still no snapping or linking
It’s been a year since someone suggested card snapping and still not implemented. No way to link cards together either as a group or with connection lines etc.
This could be a really great app.. but seems it hasn’t received any love for a long time.

Super Potential
I would love to storyboard content for so late media and lay out those projects over time. It would be awesome to add a feature where we can take photos with the phone for framing and maybe even audio for notes on that frame/ scene. It would make it easier to track the ideas and projects as they work from scrap to fruition. This app is an excellent start for blocking out ideas. If the developer gets the support I could see this App becoming an incredibly helpful tool.

Beautiful App. That's it so far
I use cardflow+ currently because it has better functionality. I would become a raving fan if they added copy & paste image capability because $23/yr for the app currently available is not it.
Update:
Just found out you can't even copy and paste other cards? lol

Eh
Seems pretty good, but I wish there were more boards available for the free version. 2 doesn’t seem to be enough.
