### 4/5 — Sadly no offline mode

*2024-07-07, version 1.0.4*

Im a professional game designer and used to use confluence at my company. Now I was looking for a replacement for private project. This app has everything I need in a very comfortable way.
The only feature I miss, is an offline mode so I can work on train journeys without internet connection.

### 4/5 — Love this app + one issue & suggestion

*2024-02-17, version 1.0.4*

Nuclino is great if you have lots of complex information to organize and interlink.  Currently I experience an issue when moving a page or collection; it basically decouples and becomes a float element disassociated from and unable to place in the list again.  It persists until I restart the app.  

 The suggestion I have is a toggle that allows the graph layout to include (maybe as a different color or dotted line) the in page links.  This would be incredibly useful as it would show other axes of centrality and clusters of pages reflected in the hyperlinks.

The links feature is what makes this better than OneNote for sorting files.  personally I find OneNote’s section organization and indentation more intuitive.   Nuclino requires new layers to convey taxonomy.   That is cognitively expensive (more clicks through dedicated organizing elements).   It would be worth considering allowing notes to be added to collections so you can give account of what a group means without forcing a subpage dedicated to that (which can push containers into the list; which is the tradeoff perhaps to Nuclino approach).   

Overall, I love and recommend this product.

### 3/5 — Great tool but missing some things

*2022-02-16, version 1.0.3*

I have been testing this out as I am starting my game design journey. Previously I used OneNote which was great but I wanted something with better hierarchy support, file management and integrations. Nuclino does these things well. However, the app doesn’t have any drawing tools and It uses drawing tool integrations I’ve never heard of. I looked into these but when it comes down to quick sketches and ideas I’d like those to be easy and in one place, usable with my Apple Pencil. This would include pens pencils and simple shapes and colors, similar to most other note and planning apps. In addition, it isn’t really clear if there is a back function, bullets only support one level, and some of the stuff in the interface is tiny, specifically on phones. Also the app integration picker is broken on phones and only shows a tiny box to choose the apps.

### 4/5 — Great app

*2020-10-22, version 1.0.2*

Really good app for breaking down notes into subtopics. However the iPad app keeps crashing when trying to upload a photo. Also would be good if images are all embedded into the notes rather than only seeing an image link and having to click on it.

### 5/5 — Fantastic app!!!

*2019-09-14, version 1.0.2*

As my partners and I were starting our new company, we were looking for the right tool for our needs.  

We stumbled across Nuclino.  It has all of the essential features we needed in what feels like a near perfect design.  The experience we have had using the mobile app is phenomenal.  We are able to easily create well structured documents to illustrate our thoughts effortlessly!

I have to thank the team at Nuclino for all of the hard work and design that went into such a great mobile experience!  I look forward to seeing more!

### 5/5 — Great Product

*2019-05-03, version 1.0.2*

Clean and powerful - love this app

### 3/5 — Unable to connect while wifi is available.

*2019-03-01, version 1.0.2*

Constantly unable to connect to wifi and cell networks which are perfectly fine for other apps.

### 4/5 — Great Start

*2018-10-28, version 1.0.2*

Polished and innovative first effort, but missing basic features like a back button or offline access. Will keep an eye on this one to see how it develops.

### 5/5 — Great service

*2018-09-26, version 1.0.1*

Thanks for a really nice product. So, I have an open source project and I had to find some solution to keep records, the documentation, and the project knowledge base. Confluence isn’t really suitable because of very small team. It seems like overhead. But this service is pretty convenient and has everything I need. I’m going to use this service for all my documentation and project knowledges. Generally, I like clustering, the way how I can put any data on pages, and of course, the workspaces graph which is great (reminds me neo4j web console with their bubble charts). I’m satisfied now. Let’s see how it will be in long relationships with the service :)

### 5/5 — Super App!

*2018-09-15, version 1.0.1*

Einfach zu bedienen und sehr übersichtlich.

### 1/5 — App Login won’t work with copy paste

*2024-02-13, version 1.0.4*

For anyone who does not use Apple’s password, you cannot copy and paste into the login fields from another password manager.  Makes it painful to use the app, if you can’t easily log in.

### 1/5 — Bruhhhhhh

*2023-12-13, version 1.0.4*

At first I thought its a new product so I gave it a room for being so buggy and terrible for the user experience. Then I came here and checked it's been under development for 5 years now. This is just unacceptable.

### 1/5 — It’s all erased

*2022-09-26, version 1.0.3*

Every single one of my stories in one tab mysteriously disappeared.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t have undo / redo...

*2020-11-04*

It’s a good app. It does most of the things the website does. But it lacks a feature, so core to the functioning of any and all current operating systems it honestly shocked me – it has no undo / redo (confirmed by the devs in an email).

This turns using this app from a pleasant experience with nice software, to an anxiety provoking and stressful interaction. If fixed, I would rate this 4/5 stars and have minor negatives otherwise. 

For the time being, I’m going to stick to the website which has near identical functionality and is quite usable on iPad. 

Seriously poor form devs, how this core feature was consciously skipped stuns me.

### 1/5 — App is Full of Bugs

*2020-10-16*

However, I do like Nuclino and if you go to the web version in safari and add it to your home screen it works pretty well. Much better than the app.

I did report the app crashing and they did email me back saying they could reproduce the bug and were trying to fix it so hopefully they will at some point fix it up.

### 1/5 — It’s a web view

*2018-09-24, version 1.0.1*

Really sad 😞

### 2/5 — Lacks formatting, terrible iPad experience

*2026-05-08, version 1.0.4*

Better off using native notes on IPad, since only half the standard features seem to work. Completely unable to select and move blocks to re-arrange the page, which defeats the object of being able to edit documents on the go. Desktop app isn’t much better, so stick to web version. If the developers want Nuclino to survive, we really need more formatting such as colours (even a limited palette would do!) and underline. Figma integration doesn’t always work, Canvas shapes are horrible and the app doesn’t work on iPad. Glad my company are paying for this because I certainly wouldn’t.

### 2/5 — Potential, but screen is cropped

*2021-02-22, version 1.0.3*

The app does not look like the sample images. There will be a black bars at the top and at the bottom. Otherwise nice but dishonest and poorly designed/implemented.

### 2/5 — I love this App, but please fix dark mode

*2020-09-17, version 1.0.2*

There are white bars along the top and bottom of the device on iOS 14, iPhone 11 pro max. It should hopefully be an easy fix by registering the applications dark mode with the iOS container’s 🤞

### 2/5 — Nuclino is great but...

*2018-09-30, version 1.0.2*

I can’t even edit a table at the moment, the app is a bit useless right now :(

### 5/5 — Amazing!

*2025-08-13, version 1.0.4*

I’m loving this app to make a game design document. It’s a little hard to navigate at first on a phone, iPad formatting feels better to use. I was using google docs to write everything down and share with my team and this app feels revolutionary. Especially love the @ quick links to get to specific topics details so they don’t feel buried.

### 5/5 — Great app for game design documentation

*2024-10-24, version 1.0.4*

Been using this app and its web counterpart to create design documents for my game ideas and it’s fantastic and very useful and powerful.

### 5/5 — Best App Ever!

*2024-08-07, version 1.0.4*

I have tried many apps including the well known ‘one note’ but this app surpasses all, the practicality of Nuclino is amazing, i love the way it looks, how customisable it is and how you can share with your team. I’ve always been quite picky with organisational apps for work and to-do list plat forms and up till recently i found it hard to follow my to do list since i hated the layouts on previous apps, but thanks to Nuclino - my organisation is the best it’s ever been, thank you🩷

### 5/5 — Awesome service. Outdated app

*2022-02-03, version 1.0.3*

Nuclino is well worth the money and provides a new way of think about information storage. 

The app needs updating as the last one is nearly a year ago. iOS 15 has since released and the app still lacks some features from the full site and other QoL updates. I think it’s still very stable and polished from what I can tell.

### 5/5 — Äußerst Flexibel

*2021-02-11, version 1.0.3*

Sehr gute App die äußerst flexibel auf die eigenen Bedürfnisse angepasst werden kann!

### 5/5 — Underrated amazing app - replaced G-Drive for me!

*2020-12-08, version 1.0.2*

ZERO BUG using on mobile web browser! It beat Google Drive and Notion for me. The smoothest UX I’ve had in a long time in my workflow. It’s minimal, all the organizer buttons on the left column is right where they need to be. I love everything about it. If there are more ways I can support this app I will!

### 5/5 — so far so good!

*2020-09-20, version 1.0.2*

I was initially looking for an alternative to Google Docs because in my opinion, the Google Docs layout is pretty bland and I just don’t like it. This app/website has some very lovely aesthetics, and I’m really enjoying how clean it feels. 

I know I’m not really taking advantage of the “team” aspect of the app (since I’m using it for notes and writing), but so far, I’ve been very pleased! Cool app :)

### 5/5 — Einfach überzeugend.

*2020-06-14, version 1.0.2*

Ich bin wirklich fast seit Anfang an als Benutzer dabei. Begonnen mit der Suche nach einer Alternative zu Evernote, habe ich damals Nuclino entdeckt und war wirklich glücklich endlich mal einen leichtgewichtigen digitalen Ort für meine Notizen gefunden zu haben. Kleiner Schlüsselmoment: Ich habe damals Funktionserweiterungen angemerkt, die dann tatsächlich umgesetzt worden sind und was ich sehr sympathisch fand, sie wurden mir auch per E-Mail mitgeteilt. Mittlerweile benutze ich es fast täglich für meinen Job, aber auch für Projekte im privaten Rahmen. Für mich gibt es aktuell keine Alternative.

### 5/5 — Überlegen, auf jede Art und Weise

*2020-05-29, version 1.0.2*

Ich habe während meines Studiums angefangen, Nuclino in Projekten als Alternative zu Confluence zu nutzen. Wir nutzen Nuclino in der Video-Spiel Produktion als Tool zum Festhalten von Entscheidungen, Meetings und Research. Confluence kannte ich von meinem vorherigen Arbeitgeber – und bis zu dem Punkt war ich immer überzeug, dass man mehr aus einem Knowledge-Base Tool auch nicht rausholen könnte.
Doch Nuclino übertrifft alles; indem es in Echtzeit mehrere Menschen an einem Dokument arbeiten lässt, ein vergleichsweise angenehmes Bezahlmodell anbietet und jedes erdenkliche Feature von Haus aus mitliefert. Der Support antwortet schnell und ist hilfsbereit.
Für unser kommendes Bachelor-Projekt arbeiten wir schon mit Nuclino, und ich glaube, dass ich es auch danach weiter nutzen werde!

### 5/5 — Better than Sharepoint & advantages over Dropbox

*2019-10-11, version 1.0.2*

With staff at multiple locations and the need to share documents intelligently this solution saw us up and running within the hour compared to 3 weeks trying to get SharePoint to work and the excessive cost of dropbox.

The product is simple to use intuitive and extremely responsive really can’t fault it.

The support is also clear and concise from Bjorn
