### 3/5 — Want to love this but…

*2026-01-05, version 3.4.5*

This app has so much potential. Just spent several hours trying to find something more modern than Scrivener (collapsable, indentable lists, markdown) and more tailored to publishing than Obsidian (custom ordered sections, reliable doc export). Unfortunately the performance of the mindmap was awful, and drag-and-drop reordering of docs is brittle (barely works unless I’m pixel perfect). Nice idea to allow dragging paragraphs to reorder, but would be nice with an AI to make sure the content still flows properly. No idea why there’s a timeline in there, and flashcards are irrelevant. Can’t see how to drag and drop cards which defeats the point… Would like an outliner mode to quickly navigate in a subdocument, and ability to collapse headings like Obsidian. This should be a writing app, not a hodgepodge of different ideas. Lots of potential but for now not worth it for me, especially since it’s subscription and I only write to organise my thoughts.

### 4/5 — Mac OS Tahoe 업데이트 이후…

*2025-09-30*

Mac OS Tahoe 업데이트 이후, 프로젝트 내보내기 기능(PDF, WORD)가 안 되고 있습니다. 사용시 많이 불편합니다. 혹시 제대로 기능이 되도록 추가 지원이 없는지요?

**Developer response:** 다시 시도해 주세요. 이 문제는 3.2.1 버전에서 해결되었습니다.

### 2/5 — Shortcuts missing / publication writing value limited

*2025-09-18, version 3.2*

Surprised the developer wants to use cut and paste. This slows down the writing process. Why not a shortcut, as this is clearly faster?

Thanks for incorporating at one level, but the rest has these slow downs. With many features it unfortunately gets in the way of work flow.

It's like a dashboard with too many dials bells and whistles. Ironically, having lots of options eats into thinking. Many times I've spend an hour playing with the feature. But not writing. 

My star rating has kept going lower as I've used it, because the application is not productive for me. I'm caught in the features and their adjustment I keep finding bugs. I'm not centrally placed in the actual content I want to write. I've used it for a year and I have not a single document from it.

I would definitely not write a publication with it, due to distraction. I'm hoping it may get better. The ideas are great. It's a shame because I was a five star reviewer when I used it first. 

What could help improve are case studies of usage. To see exactly how something has been written, and what exactly comes out. This would save users time. Ensure features are used as intended. 

At the moment for teaching the small video clips are inadequate for the complexity. It needs proper usage examples for users. For example I still can't use something as basic as the templates and formatting consistently. I know the effort has gone in, but its still frustrating to use when you want to do real work.

Never judge anything by its cover, but always be patient. I will keep checking back..

### 5/5 — 非常好的应用，一点小建议

*2025-08-02*

请支持文章的置顶功能，并考虑增加可看到全部笔记的选项（现在项目太多，文章的内容有点割裂了，更不能按照时间顺序来展示，回顾起来挺不便的，有点局限于项目的框架内了）感谢开发者，会长期支持的。

**Developer response:** 文章在项目中都是按照大纲顺序排列的，你可以拖拽任何文章到大纲的任何位置。卡片库可以收藏卡片，收藏的卡片会被置顶。你可能更需要卡片库功能，卡片库提供按时间排序的展示方式

### 5/5 — Quase perfeito!

*2025-06-18*

Tendo a desistir pois gostaria de grifar os PDFS do Lattics diretamente no meu tablet, para criar cartões automáticos. Enquanto não tem não seria possível grifar no zotero e criar o cartão automaticamente no lattics? Muito complicado ler e grifar no zotero no meu tablet e depois ter que transferir todas as notas.

**Developer response:** Olá, desenvolveremos uma versão móvel no próximo semestre, e ela suportará telefones, tablets ou dispositivos móveis.

### 5/5 — With patience app is Outstanding

*2025-05-15, version 2.5.4*

App has tons of Tutorials to help you. Best part of it is that it has features to help you work that are very ahead of their time and most apps don’t even possess yet. And it is not expensive too.

### 1/5 — Вообще никакое … !

*2025-03-08*

У меня Mac OS Sequola 15.3.1. Запуск этого приложение либо ни к чему не приводит, либо появляется пустое окно и всё! Это вообще что? Apple! Ты совсем «мышей» не ловишь? Это что такое в AppStore выкладывается?

**Developer response:** HI, Please update to the newest version, we have fixed this issue

### 2/5 — Nice organization / Horrible editor

*2025-03-07, version 2.4.3*

Like the title says. I like the organization but the actual editor has got to be one of the worst text editors I’ve ever used. Undo doesn’t reliably work. Put an @ in the middle of a word (like an email address) and it opens the command line. Don’t even get me started on table editing.

### 5/5 — Awesome Platform

*2025-02-18, version 2.4.1*

This is one of the best organizational tools I have. Hopefully they'll come up with a IOS program with iCloud support so that I can carry my database with me.

My only concern is that  if you use their online repository to sync data, it stores your data in China which they say is encrypted end-to-end (but not necessarily "at rest"), and there's not much information on their site, other than a policy document that tells you what happens to your data.

### 5/5 — 几个小建议

*2025-01-25*

原来一直用印象，搜索功能很强，但是，不支持多级目录，很讨厌。这个软件不错。用了几天，有几个小问题（仅针对我的需求），不知道后续有没有可能补上。
1、能对项目也打标签吗？因为可能一个项目分属好几个分类；
2、放进去的附件，不但在文章中存在，还单独在文章外出现，有点困惑。
3、导入的图片改小尺寸后，只能居中，能靠右或者靠左吗？
4、有没有可能增加分栏功能？

**Developer response:** 感谢喜欢 Lattics。 1. 项目和标签本身就是不同的管理内容的方式，应该没有必要对项目进行标签管理？ 2. 附件是因为也可以被搜索到，被引用到，可以被多次复用，所以会体现在项目大纲中而不像 word 那样隐藏在文档之中； 3.  图片左上角的六点图标里有布局方式；  4. 现在就支持多栏布局，你可以拖拽图片或者文字进行两栏或者三栏布局的
