unusable

it crashes 9/10 times and it will delete random selections of a file. i actually don’t think i’ve used a worse piece of software. terrible because they’re really is no alternative.

Use it daily

I use it everyday. For the most part, it’s simple and it works. Just like git.

Dead :-| Unclear IAP

This could be the perfect go-to app for all folks realizing a Git based PARA/Zettelkasten-like information organization.

Alas! The latest change in the roadmap dates Nov '22, there are various bugs (i.e. history not loading, arbitrary sync issues demanding full resets etc).

The IAP seems illogical to us: you either need to pay 12 months in advance OR pay the monthly fee until the full payment is done so you get the benefit. Not sure if this doesn't violates Apple's IAP policies.

We just use the app as a mobile read-only store of a Foam repo, but in general, the app has much bigger potential.

Buggy

I can write a note, then can’t escape from the editor and it doesn’t save anything. The ‘raw editor’ is just a blank page that does nothing. I resent having paid for this.
