Not the best.

I try to save the name, but it doesn't let me.

Good so far but….

The main issue for me is that I can do a general search. I write notes about people and remember personal details, but I forget their names. This means I can’t find the person by association. For instance, if I remember where I met them, I wouldn’t be able to find their name.

Love the idea, but a bit buggy

This app is perfectly designed and has the potential to be really useful. However, it doesn’t see newly added contacts, even when refreshed, access revoked and re-initiated, phone restarted etc.

Extremely useful!

This developer truly cares for their users. This app is exactly what I need, and makes my life soo much easier. Also, really appreciate that there’s no ads or bloat. Thank you!

Contacts access is a HUGE Quality-of-Life improvement

Makes it so much easier to add people

So far so good

I’ve been looking for something like this for a while and have just been using my Notes app on my iPhone, but I wanted something that was more organized. I think it’s so important to remember important things about people and this is very helpful. My only wish is that you could import from your contacts rather than have to re-enter people and all their info. Other than that, it’s awesome.

Glad to hear. And yes, importing isn’t great at the moment and better contact import is coming.

Hey Hannah, the reason for the account is so we can sync, backup, and restore your notes across all your phones... or if you lose your phone you don't lose all your notes. As for in-app purchases, that gets you some 'power-up' features but Revere is designed to be useful in it's free version. Thanks for taking the time to review. Mark

Simple and effective

This app is exactly what I was looking for - somewhere to jot down thoughts and notes about important people to me.

Looking forward to seeing the coming updates

Useful app to use and be interesting to see if it might manage to be even more effective once the update is completed.

Great app missing another important feature

I go to a lot of conferences which always have a pdf file with the conference program and the list of people who attended the conference. I then have handwritten notes on those pdfs. I would like to be able to upload those pdfs to the app, ideally to the groups. Being able to upload them to people would be second best if it is difficult to incorporate uploading pdfs to groups. (I am annual paid customer and would be willing to pay more with this feature. I don’t plan to renew without this feature as it is much more easier for me to take notes on pdfs.)

Hmmm, this is a really interesting feature. I'm a big handwritten note persChatGPTon and this would be pretty handy. I have plans to add functionality that parses unstructured notes and saves them to Revere; the handwriting recognition might be relatively straightforward to add with some of the new AI models. I'll definitely look into this. However, I'm not sure I'll be able to get to it soon. In the meantime, a trick I use myself is uploading my handwritten notes to ChatGPT or Gemini and asking it to transcribe them, to then copy/paste wherever I need. It does a surprisingly good job, even keeping bullets and other formatting if you ask. Thanks for writing.

No pdf upload possible

I would like to be able to upload pdf files. I go to a lot of conferences and meet many people at the conferences. The conference programs are already in pdf and it is easy to scriblle notes on them, which is what I do. It would be nice to be able to upload those pdfs into the app, alas this is not possible. (I sent an email to the developer to request this feature but that there was no response. I suppose the developer is too busy to acknowledge the receipt.) (I am a paid user and would be willing to pay more for a version that is more user friendly.)

No overdue reminder

The app just randomly leaves a reminder after due date. There is no overdue reminder to reach out. A person could be busy on due date. The app ideally should remind the next day to fulfill the task. Not assume it is done and move on with life.

Response from developer

You’re exactly right. The notifications in this current version aren’t great — it’s easy to lose them. There’s a new version I’m working on that improves this much better, including an overdue indicator inside the app and better actions from the notification itself. Thanks for taking the time to review even if it’s a low one — all the feedback is useful. Mark

Great App, Few Remarks

Wonderful application. I think it’s very modern layout and it is very useful for me remembering to care for and reach out to family and friends.

A few suggestions:

If there was a way to link family members when you add them into a person. For example. If I were to add my mom as a new person and then under the section family members add in my sister, her daughter. If my sister is already in the database it would be great to have a link through that family member so then I can click on her and it pulls up my sister’s person page.

It would be wonderful to have subgroups. For instance, for my extended family, I could have a group called: Extended Family with a subgroup of cousins, aunts, uncles, etc. This would help navigate faster.

Lastly it would be super neat to have a few more additional categories when adding people. For example I use the note section to write down peoples “favorites” of something. If you have more categories when filling out people like, a section of music or movies and then I could fill in their favorite movie is this or that, that would be wonderful. Another category could be where are they living, where did they grow up, what school do they go to, etc.

Again, great app super helpful. Those are just a few suggestions that I think would be marvelous with the app you currently have.

Thanks.

These are all great suggestions and all but the subgroups are on my list. I’m also releasing a new version built on Apple’s newer systems which will speed up new feature building, so lots happening. Stay tuned and thanks for taking the time to review.

Love this

I am a hairdresser and I use it to remember my colour formulas and things I talked about last with my clients and it makes my life so much easier

Virtuellement c’est plus difficile de se souvenir

J’aimerais avoir une façon de contrôler les note sur la personé donner une vrai chose sur la personne sans que sache nécessairement que ma ou me ment entre pluisiere raison c’est les gens qui se dois d’être tenu à l’écart

I went looking for this, hoping it existed

I needed a ‘Facebook’ in its true essence - a place for me to make notes and record dates in relation to acquaintances and extended family members. A place to note who’s uncle has the three kids with the ex wife and what all their names are. I’m hoping this will prove invaluable.

A way to help this app!

I absolutely love using the app revere. It helps me remember conversations and people I recently met. Yet as I input new and old people I know I have run into one issue. When we select how we know the people there could be many more ways like coaches, teachers, business interests and more. As an app developer I understand adding things may be difficult but I truly believe adding these little options could prove very beneficial for the app and your users experiences. Have a blessed day!

Hi Andrew, custom relationships are a very popular feature request and coming soon. Thanks for taking the time to review. ~ Mark

Expanded Relationship Options Needed; Great Otherwise

This app is great! There are some adjustments that are needed in the relationship options. Please add the following so that we can respect people’s identities and also select general terms rather than gender-specific terms when information is absent, such as “so and so colleague has a sibling called Alex and we haven’t any idea whether Alex is male or female (or non-binary), but we want to document this relationship accordingly in Revere.” Including these options would take this app from great to excellent. Please add the following relationship options: Parent Step-Parent Sibling Child Step-child Spouse Sibling-in-law Child-in-law Assistant Manager Teacher Instructor Other

Hi William, custom relationships are coming soon along with many more improvements. We're in the process of a big rebuild and modernization of Revere to unlock faster feature creation. Thanks for the review and stay tuned. ~ Mark

Missing critical feature

This app is simple and secure which is great.
What is needed is a basic flash card game to help one actually remember the contacts added. I get that it’s great for close friends, but when you have a memory disability there aren’t many tools to help you remember your own friends.
