### 1/5 — Crashes on launch

*2024-09-28*

Not much else to say. The app immediately crashes when launched and cannot be used at all. As of this writing, it hasn’t seen an update in six years.

### 1/5 — 100% useless ❌❌❌

*2023-09-26, version 1.0.1*

Even DropBox support is not working, wth?

### 1/5 — Finish the App

*2022-03-11, version 1.0.1*

Need iCloud support

### 1/5 — Broken and abandoned

*2021-07-21, version 1.0.1*

WebDAV broken, core features (on macOS version) missing. Dev does not respond to queries - suggest avoid

### 2/5 — Update please

*2020-12-31*

This app is a solid 2-star app.

The two things it needs are edit and search, which would make it less meh and more functional.

### 1/5 — iCloud Sync Foolishness

*2020-11-26*

Why would I be able to sync to iCloud in the OSX app but not able to read that sync in the iOS app? This is complete laziness on the developer side, just add loading the quiver library from iCloud already.

### 3/5 — No iOS Sync with Mac

*2020-09-19*

Can’t even open shared note from iCloud.
What else can you say? Not worth the hassle. Look for substitutes.

### 1/5 — Useless.

*2020-07-27*

Can’t create new files, or edit existing ones. I guess will stick to other apps. Removing from both the computer and the phone

### 1/5 — From a Mac quiver user, this app is garbage

*2020-05-22*

The sync options are so limited that this app is pretty worthless. This app is so bad, that I am rethinking my continued use/support of the OS X version of Quiver.

### 2/5 — Best notes app on Mac, useless on iOS

*2020-03-28, version 1.0.1*

I am a big fan of Quiver on Mac, it makes complex note taking and organising a breeze. I was very excited to find the app for iOS, only to find that it is completely useless.
