Please don’t let it die
I’ve loved this app from the first moment I’ve started using it. It’s so handy to have it on my iPad and carry it everywhere, without losing information. I don’t understand why it hasn’t been updated anymore ☹️
Excelente
Bien pensada. Es única en su género. Como todo siempre puede mejorar.
Keeps crashing!!!
Ever since the os update, both the iPad and Mac versions of this app keep crashing! It makes it really hard in the lab to depend on this app if the protocol I’m using crashes after just a minute every time!!
Edit: iPad app still crashing!!!
I still have yet to hear back from the developer about the crashes, even though I see they’re active on the forum. Really frustrating as this is my main repository for all my data and it is crashing!!!!

Fantastic
I find this app along with the desktop version very helpful to organize and keep track of data. Highly recommended!
Findings 2.0
I really hope the update for suitable new findings 2 on Mac
Good app but limitations.
The iCloud sync option is must with the fact that this is a paid app. This shouldn’t be a big issue to sync through iCloud. Just like notes app of the apple but don’t know why is that it has been forever to get that essential feature. Otherwise it is very limited and not good enough to work with.
Sehr Gutes Laborbuch
Hoffe aber das einige Funktionen der Mac-Version auch aufs iPad kommen. Vor allem das Erstellen von Tabellen fehlt mir derzeit in der iOS version.
Love it, but also needs to polish with more rich feature
Not a scientist nor researcher, I use Findings as a notebook, rather than research tracking tool. I love how I can review my notes from mobile, but different kind of notes is now consider as experiment on mobile. Current stage doesn’t have ability to view all feature on the MacOS. I really hope developers can expend the horizon of what both MacOS and IOS app can do, and craft features that can be implemented for different field with the same scientific documentation techniques. Thank you for the good app.

Returning user
Used it on Mac and loved it. Have used it before on iPad but was not 100 percent sure it was completely usable. I will give it a second shot!
From experiments to literature
I use the Findings App daily on my Laptop and now also on my iPhone. I can keep my files and experiments nicely organized with Findings.
My wish for upcoming versions: iCloud integration.

Still to fulfil potential
Good app for lab research but only that. The desktop app is much more versatile including research and meeting notes if the iOS app had that too I’d push this to 4 and maybe a 5 star rating.

Helpful ELN, please consider adding...
I really like this app and find it to be very useful in organizing my experiments. I would just like to provide one suggestion—could you add a materials section to the protocol? It might be me, as I am still in the learning process of using the app, but I cannot seem to incorporate the materials required for any particular protocol.

Overall is a must have app
This is a must have app for lab researchers. Hope it can be even more good.
better than other expensive ELN and friendly for Mac
easy to save and search
Cannot sync [fixed]
Cannot sync with Dropbox
Update: support is very helpful. Now the issue is fixed by a pretty complex way.

Good, but not without flaws
This app is pretty solid in terms of what you can track with it, and I haven't found anything better in a standalone app. However, , it has some issues with text formatting that interrupt the workflow somewhat. For example, when adding a new paragraph to an experiment, if text is selected and you press the "title" button to convert that text to a heading, the text is no longer selected, so you need to go back and delete it manually. Also, it's not possible to add separate paragraph styles at the same time--changing to a heading style will change all of the text on the edit paragraph screen, even if two would-be paragraphs are separated by a blank line.
That said, the app has improved dramatically in both features and stability over the past few years, and if you can get past the spots where the not-quite-intuitive workflows affect the user experience, it's definitely a worthwhile investment for a student or researcher looking for a digital lab notebook solution.

So good
Would love to sharing options for Google Classroom or within the app itself to use in a classroom setting to share lab instructions!
Good and intuitive
Perfect as personal labbook. Compared to other programmes it is still possible to delete entries (in case you realize a typo or have added a table) which is nothing you're supposed to do with your data in a labbook. I have the mac version as well, but the Dropbox syncing is not working and unfortunately no other cloud choices are given (I have a local cloud I'd like to use). But still love it!

Great!
iPhone and desktop apps integrate nicely
Nice idea....
I find it pretty much a disaster. You can't use the Apple pencil to sketch in ideas....typing only.
The paragraphs format is too rigid, you can only move then around , sort of.
Photos land on top of paragraphs, blocking the paragraph. I don't think you can delete a photo once inserted...as it sits over your text. Trying to move a photo seems to create copies of the photo.
Can't find a decent lab notebook app, they all seem written by people never in a lab.
