Disappointment all around

Full of bugs, constantly hanging, shortcuts broken. This version is not ready for release. Stick to v. 3 for now.

Update: Ver. 4.2 is slightly better than previous iterations, but the app still lags and spins wheels upon the slightest change. Sometimes views come up blank. The Activity indicator seems to have some animation, but it does not seem to reliably indicate the presence or nature of activity. Sidebar folder counts are slow to update, and the sidebar includes two items of limited value that cannot be removed. Settings and Activity buttons are hidden in a sidebar menu where v. 3 had them conveniently in a toolbar; in other views, they can be added, but the mechanism for doing so in Settings is opaque. Deleting the app does not necessarily delete its data, despite what they say; I had such a mess from my previously deleted v. 4 installation that I had to restore a backup on Mac and start over. Setting up sync from scratch was no picnic, either. This version, while usable, is a disappointment; I thought they would be further along by now—but the emphasis seems to be on adding features rather than improving performance. Anyone sitting on the fence may want to wait for 4.3, or longer.

Update: I’m lowering the star rating after a week or so of using 4.2, which is incredibly *slow*, even on an iPad Pro M4. Lots of spinning wheels, no quick checks of anything, frequent capture fails from extension. Wish I had not “upgraded.”

Layout and menus less functional

I appreciate the vagaries of the current os, but the os is functioning better on iPad now than on initial release. Honestly I don’t think this V4 app is yet. I’ve gone back to V3 on iPad.

Update - Latest version much improved 👍

Excellent Information Manager

This is an awesome tool. It captures information logically, effectively and efficiently. When saving the information, it preserves the format and images better than any of the notebook apps I have tried. It’s not as “sexy” as the notebook apps, but it does a better job at filtering out clutter and capturing what you need. I highly recommend it!

Loved the app

Quite disappointed that the app became only yearly subscription based. The ios app is useless in this version without yearly license.
The dt togo3 is down so I’ll keep using it until it will stop working hope to find good alternative with one time based license.
