Can’t even make an account

When I opened the app all it gives me is a login screen, no place to register an account. Same on desktop. I tried the forget password thing to see if I could access an account that way but I didn’t even receive an email. It’s a shame, I really was looking forward to using this app but it’s literally unusable.

No login

I downloaded the app for iPad. The initial screen asks for a login. There is no where to create an account. Nor instructions or a link to do so.

Finally an all in one productivity app

I’ve been on the hunt for a single app to handle all of my requirements; cross platform with a web client, tasks that automatically move forward if not completed, notes, organization, daily notes, calendar integration and a complete task manager regardless of where the task is.

I was using craft for a while but their pricing model is a pretty big turn off. The rest of the apps I’ve found were the same or just too limited in their scope. Clover has been excellent and I’m happy to finally end my search for the perfect all in one app.

It’s worth noting it does feel like the app has some catch up. There are no notifications and swiping to go back simply doesn’t work, but small issues and easily worth dealing with when taking the whole package into consideration.

Beautiful app but missing key tools

I have been a long time fan of clover. I signed up with them before they even had an app. But I am very frustrated because they do not link with iCloud calendar or iCloud reminders. Very disappointing it makes this beautiful app hard to use productively.

Excited to See Grow

I have been hunting for an app that could meet me in the intersection of note-taking, task lists, and second brain. Clover finally seems it! Specifically, I have been hunting for an app that offered reminder integration AND Apple Pencil support. Plenty of programs do one or the other, but so far Clover seems like my sweet spot.

I did run into an issue caused by the current reach of development. There is no way to reorder pages through the touch screen on ios, you have to use a mouse. So why five stars?

I was prepared to switch to Craft and utilize Shortcuts for my reminders, but then I got a quick, honest response from Clover about the issue I was experiencing. It was refreshing to be told plainly that it is functionality they are still working on and to receive some suggestions for a work-around.

I will be keeping an eye on Clover's privacy policies. From what I understand, the current policy is boilerplate and doesn't reflect their intended values. We shall see!

I finally found the perfect app!

For months I’ve been watching video after video on YouTube, scouring the internet productivity blogs, and reading project management training classes. All I wanted was a digital, searchable bullet journal app that let’s me take notes by date and organize into projects, and carries tasks forward to the next day for me.

Notion was too high maintenance, good ol’ pen and paper was not searchable, and many other attempts at making a slew of note taking apps failed me.

Then, I stumbled on Clover. I’m all in. I love it! it’s still a relatively new app and I’m hoping to see new features come along soon but I’m willing to wait it out for the features it already has.

I love this app so much. My top 3 wish list for this app would be:

1. Offline notes - I would be willing to pay a fee for this.
2. Office 365 calendar integration - so I can link my notes to meetings on my calendar.
3. Nested folders - so I can have folders with sub folders. For examples, I’d love a personal and a work folder then project and notes folders within those folders. And then pages within those sub folder.

Wish it worked offline

I love the Craft app but the only thing really lacking for me was a whiteboard and now Clover app comes out and has whiteboards and the rest of the app is very similar to Craft so I am thinking of switching. The only issue I have is that Craft works offline then syncs later once you have a connection. The fact that Clover does not do this is a HUGE drawback for me. Is offline mode planned for the future?

Response from developer

We know offline is a very important feature and are working on some architecture changes to allow this in the future. Offline support is high on our priority list!

One of the better apps

I’ve tried a lot of different note taking + task manager apps and Clover is one of the better ones. My biggest complaint right now is that it seems like the iOS app is limited to 60Hz on the iPhone 13 Pro which really hurts my head after using all my other apps at 120. Not sure why this is but it makes the app nearly unusable to me

Pricey!

App is good but the subscription price is $72 with a discount. I worry it would default to $90+ once discount is gone. Better options out there.

iOS app with no iOS calendar integration

No Apple calendar integration?
Really?

Just wow

I’ve been looking for this unicorn for a long time. Using two different apps to accomplish what this does in one was always a bit time consuming and hectic. But I never could find any “one” to consolidate to. I would always hear, “don’t put too much faith in a system that claims to do it all- they never do it all well.” Well that was true until Clover. Mind blown and super impressed with not only functionality, perfect merging of notes and tasks but they make it look soooo good too. And all this from a v1. I can’t wait to go on this journey and see what they accomplish.

It’s gorgeous and useful

Maybe it’s the way you can put notes underneath each task. Maybe it’s the fact that every task you create on every page goes into one big list — letting you see every single task you need to do in one place. There’s lots I absolutely love about this app. I can’t quite figure out what it is yet though. What would be really great, is if when I clicked on a label, Instead of seeing a list of all the documents containing that label, I saw the actual inline snippets of text containing the label. Thanks for making this app

Very excited to see where this goes

Stunning, takes a ton of pain points from other apps and does a nice job at making a remedy, very excited to see future progress as it gets perfected! Amazing v1, very impressive.

Non-starter

High cost, extreme claims. Login screen to see anything. Nope. I’m out of there. Deleted.

Not good enough for the price

From the perspective of a college student, I wouldn’t pay $9 a month for this app when Notion offers unlimited blocks and pages for free. Taking notes with the Apple Pencil is not a good experience and needs improvement. Definitely not worth the price they are asking.

Response from developer

Hi Leonel, We've recently released version 1.0.3 which includes a lot of improvements for the Apple Pencil so please check it out! Also, we have an educational discount that can help with the cost. Email support@cloverapp.com from your school email address and we'll get you setup.

Almost perfect

This app has every single thing I want it all in one place. It’s only, and I mean only downfall is that it requires an Internet connection to be used. As an update, it needs to be accessible off-line, and then sync notes online whenever possible. That’s its only drawback in my opinion. It is totally worth it.

Expensive. Perfect if you can afford it. Otherwise, I’m sticking with Notion.

I downlaoded the app seeing it was a new, and I’m always open to a new workspace experience. I love the idea of being able to have all my stuff in one place at one time. And this app is seamless. Beautiful on my Iphone, absolutely gorgeous on my Ipad. Works like a charm and updates quickly if you’ve got the app open on two devices.

The daily notes feature is top tier. I’d love to see the native IOS Calendar app integrated in the future for those who don’t use Google Calendar.

The only turn off for me was that massive yearly price. Labels, the way you organize the doc, are a pro feature. You can try for two weeks, otherwise that search-based workspace feature is not available to you. I personally wouldn’t pay 70 dollars a year for something that only costs me 40 on another platform. Maybe in the future they’d consider bringing it down, the app isn’t bad but I seriously wouldn’t pay that much.

Another thing that bothered me was that glitchy line tool. It kept sticking to everything except the boxes I was trying to attach it to. And having to press shift while drawing with my Apple Pencil was slightly annoying. Maybe press and hold could be integrated in the near future too. Albeit, I might be a bit slow and didn’t understand a lot of the features, but this app really just isn’t for me. If you’re looking for the simpler, cheaper alternative, I’d stick with Notion. The only thing Notion doesn’t have is that Surface option. That’s genius! The ability to draw handwritten notes is amazing. But that’s just about it. Everything else is relatively similar.

Hi! We recently released version 1.0.3 which made a lot of improvements to Surfaces. This included updates to line connections, drawing with the Apple Pencil, and many others general improvements to help improve that overall experience of navigating a Surface. Feel free to give it another try! And thanks for your feedback, it's really important to help us improve the product.

Waiting for much better Apple pencil support

Love it all except for this flaw.

Response from developer

We recently released version 1.0.3 which improves the Apple Pencil experience so we'd love for you to give it another spin!

Moved all my documents to clover

Ditching notion and obsidian for clover. I use too many “productivity” tools but I really want one tool to consolidate my knowledge into one place. Clover is looking real hopeful.

Response from developer

Thanks for the kind words and feel free to reach out to us with any feedback you may have.
