Early Thoughts

This is intentionally short and introductory with the expectation of returning to say more. I have reviewed a number of apps to which I’ve been given access from Reddit. I have not seen one with such careful design in the interface so early in its development until now. I am excited to use it more and come back with a more detailed review. It seemed worth saying that first impressions were sufficiently high that I had to say something now.

Excellent Note Taker

App looks great and is easy to setup and start with. It’s recording, capture, analysis and summarization is strong. The output can be easily shared. I am happy to give the developer a 5 star review and they have built a great app that provides a high-value to me while keeping my notes private.
