I hope updates continue
I LOVE this app, so simple so effective. Praying developer continues updating so we can use for many years to come
The Future of Note Taking
This feels like it should have been designed by Apple. No mimicking folders or booklets or sticky notes, just a clean and simple design with limitless nested notes. So simple, so easy to use and so logical, it just lets you create notes.
Keyboard issues
When I’m typing the app doesn’t allow me to see the space I’m typing in, the keyboard blocks it. I don’t understand why
A joy to work with
Scroll’s a simple, straightforward & ultra-helpful tool for keeping notes & listing & developing ideas.
If you upgrade (at £4-99 for iPhone, Mac & iPad, it surely has to be one of the best value upgrades out there!), you get not only syncing & unlimited notes, but a great choice of colours, too!
The first thing I did with it was to list all the things I wanted from a novel template for the Scrivener writing app, then re-order them, expand on them & add a lot more stuff as well, & within 20 minutes I had a useable design for it. That might not sound like much, but I’ve spent years trying! And believe me, it makes my work much easier.
Installation tip: I couldn’t immediately get syncing to work, but when I deleted & reinstalled the iPhone version it worked fine.
I’d unhesitatingly recommend Scroll to anyone who wants to list information & develop their ideas. It has tags & gives reminders, too, so if you use David Allen’s “Getting Things Done” or any similar kind of methodology you’ll find Scroll an invaluable companion.
Do give it a try! I’m sure you won’t regret it 😊

New update —after using for several weeks.
New update have lowered rating down to two stars
This app has a tonne of potential if the developer would just fix what should have been in place from the beginning.
When you say an item is finished, it becomes completely invisible. However it’s still somewhere in the scroll structure (because it’s included in the count of items within the scroll structure) just not accessible to the user. If A user wants to edit the item for completeness they cannot. For that reason must lower the rating from 3 down to 2 stars.
Would also like to see an item have a type of sub-item check list so that each subitem could be identified as open or complete. That would be very handy feature to have.
Everything I said in original review still stands. Past several days have been heavily utilizing this app. When a user adds a photo- make sure to give the photo a title IN THIS APP, if not then it will not be added, although you can see the tiny icon there is no prompt instruction to enter a title. During edits- way too hard to edit in that tiny window. After struggling to edit the user then must go all the way to end of the text BEFORE hitting enter button and app accepts the edit. Yes, it’s still 3 stars for this second review. Yes, it’s 3 stars right now. Why? No color coding of the different outlines. User can only set the theme color for the entire app. I would like to color code each outline topic and have that color code go across the outline items. Started to add content, problem is editing long entires. The format defaults to a tiny edit window at bottom of the screen. Far too small and on the iPad it’s extremely hard to edit. Once edit is done the user is forced to scroll down to the end and tap the end point of the text BEFORE being to hit enter which accepts the edit. This is very cumbersome for a user if they are using the on screen keyboard. Another key missing feature is lack of ability to export press say on a web article and have the popup menu display the SCROLL icon. Please consider adding this function and feature in next upgrade. Do color, larger edit window and export icon selection then this app is a solid 4.5 stars.
