Excellent update!!!!!

The new update makes this the best notepad since star trek and a reality, perhaps a free lite version would convince anyone there is nothing like mental notes, a must have!!

Significant lag in notes with lots of text

I use this app all the time. It's a place where all the little odds & ends and tidbits of info get stashed. I notice that when a note gets a lot of text (say 1,400+ words), there is a noticable lag for any action in that note (say...typing, or moving around the note using arrow keys on a keyboard).

This does not effect other notes in the app. So if one note has 1,500 words...noticable lag, but typing in another note that has only 100 words, works just fine.

There are other issues with this app, but this is the one that's currently bugging me. However, it *still* is my go to note app.

Response from developer

Here are a couple suggestions when working with a large amount of text. 1. Try small blocks of text: This may help with typing speed, moving around the note, and note taking in general. When you're working on a note, consider breaking up new thoughts or sections of the note with sketch lines. This will only work when you're creating a new note. One possible workflow might go like this: You create a new note, typing some text into the note. Then, before adding a new idea to the note, grab the sketch pen, and draw a horizontal line in the empty part of the page beneath the text you just typed. Tap Done, then tap in the blank part of the page beneath the line and type a new idea into the note. This may help make smaller text blocks, and help organize the thoughts in the note. It's like when you're working with pen and paper you might write an idea, then draw a line across the page, and start a new idea beneath the line. Please contact us by email at support@zymbiotic.com so we can send you a screenshot demonstrating this idea. Please note you need to: type, sketch, then type for this to work, (i.e. it will not work if you type everything and try to go back and draw sketch lines in between already typed text). You may have to re-create those notes with really long sections of text by copy-pasting sections into a new note and sectioning off (e.g. with a sketch line or a photo) at relevant points in the note to make some smaller chunks of text. Please let us know if you are going to recreate the note as we can send some additional tips (please contact us by email for more info). 2. Try multiple notes organized by tag and note linking: Another thought is to use a number of smaller notes, and those can be grouped together with tags. Special note links may help organize the notes as well - read more about that here: https://www.zymbiotic.com/usingmentalnote/notelink Please get in touch with us at support@zymbiotic.com to discuss this further, or for assistance with any issue. Thanks for using Mental Note!

Simple enough

App is simple enough yet has all the tools needed. Nice!

Понятная, удобная программа

Пользуюсь и доволен. Все нравится. Возможность ставить пароль на отдельные проекты 👍

Disappointed! FURIOUS!

Great if you don’t want to forward or export your notes, audio / images.
It appears that there are tremendous technical support issues. Mental Note gives a false impression that the notes get sent, no error messages to the contrary return message and find that 2 months after emailing notes to clients that they were lost in space. I only discovered this because my new boss kept saying he didn’t get the notes which means my accounts from the convention and new clients didn’t either. When uploading to Drop Box it doesn’t keep any format and randomly you get 60 audio messages in your folder which means it’s completely useless. I thought I was being so efficient by sending notes to my accounts within minutes of them leaving the convention showroom from when they toured. No way to contact this Mental Note company, settings doesn’t allow you to troubleshoot.
