Really want to like this app… but -
Update 2: giving all 5 stars following an aggressive update cadence and exceptional dev response.
Update: Really impressed by the responsiveness of the dev. They reached out to me almost immediately following my review to outline their intentions as far as the roadmap goes. Very excited to see how it evolves. I’ll likely update this review again following releases!
————- original review—————
The promise is convincing and the potential is there, I know it’s new and development is handled by a single person, but current state is not ready for production yet. I was hoping to save my files to a custom location, but it’s only the default iCloud location. Journaling (daily notes) requires sync to be enabled which makes using this as a capture layer impossible, no dark mode, and every time I try to create a journal page it crashes and throws conflict warnings. Additionally the formatting for markdown should function without issue however the syntax is not recognized and callouts cannot be colored as the settings imply. Right now it’s just missing some base level necessities and needs a strong functional testing before I try this again. I will give it a couple of weeks before I seek a refund from Apple to give the dev the chance for subsequent updates.
