I have been using this for more than 12 years

I have it on my iPhone, iPad and Mac. I mostly use it for keeping various notes. Very reliable and great syncing. If you want something more than the built-in Notes app (which I never use), this is worth a look. I started using it because it allowed me to easily transfer all my notes from the Palm Pilot (back in the day!)

unifies all my devices

This app is outstanding. I use Notebooks on iPhone, iPad, Mac and Windows. It seamlessly syncs across all devices so I have the must current view no matter which device I am using. I can compose, edit and take notes on my iPhone with everything synced on all devices. Its invaluable.

Un incontournable dépassé

2026-08 Atteint ses limites. Apres plusieurs années de bons et loyaux services, et plusieurs giga de data, ne sait pas gérer les milliers de fichiers. Se bloque systématiquement. 2019-04 S’intègre parfaitement dans un environnement GTD
Est à la pointe du classement avec des recherche Hashtag
Je l’utilise depuis plus de 9 ans

Response from developer

Lorsque Notebooks se bloque ou se fige au démarrage, la cause la plus probable est une synchronisation incomplète avec iCloud Drive. Heureusement, vous pouvez résoudre le problème comme indiqué ici : https://www.notebooksapp.com/faqconc/when-icloud-sync-seems-stuck-ios/

Testé :
sur texte long en un seul document html, le rechargement de la page devient plus lent mais semble maintenant avoir des comportements notables, différents selon qu'il soit après une recherche …
avec deux types de recherches
1. à l'intérieur d'un document,
2. sur plusieurs documents,
la vitesse de replacement dans un document semble beaucoup plus rapide, que lors d'un rechargement de page (avec quelques imprécisions sur la position dans le document)

Zufrieden, fast perfekt

Seit gestern bin ich also auch dabei. Ein wenig Eingewöhnung in Sync (ich synchronisiere von lokal nach lokal über den eingebauten WebDAV) braucht es schon. Später habe ich versehentlich auf dem iPhone alle Dateien samt Ordnerstruktur in die iCloud gehievt. Oh Schreck, aber es geht ja auch leicht wieder zurück. Ansonsten erklärt sich das meiste während der Nutzung und Handbücher gibt es auch.
Für mich ausschlaggebend für den Kauf: Nun ist alles, auch meine sehr umfangreiche PDF Sammlung, zusammen mit meinen Schreibsachen an einem Ort.
Ein Wermutstropfen: In den PDFs werden fest eingebaute Lesezeichen nicht dargestellt, sondern ledig die Thumbnails der Seiten. Ich habe literarische Werke, historische Adressbücher und Noten mit ausführlichen Lesezeichen. Diese PDFs muss ich in einer anderen App öffnen (Menü öffnen mit), um zu navigieren.
So also 4+ Sterne.
