I had five important notes on the Mac, tried to sync with my iPhone, and got the following message: 0 note(s) synced from iPhone and 5 note(s) deleted from Mac. Yup, nothing was moved over and all five notes were deleted from my Mac. Terrific! Gone! Now all I have to do is spend the rest of today trying to re-create the information I had on there (if I even can). Thanks Apple for yet another app that you didn't bother to check to see if it actually worked. ### 2/5 — Unreliable & Complicated *2012-08-09* This App is way more complicated to set and sync than should be necessary. Syncing is especially “hit-or-miss”. The new “Notes” App. Available for free with iOS5 and Mountain Lion is much easier, quicker to sync, and reliable. ### 3/5 — Sync Problems *2011-09-06* Maybe I'm just not doing something right. I spent over an hour copying and reformatting my EverNote notes to TopXNotes on my Mac minus all the pictures. I synced the notes to my iPhone okay, but had trouble syncing my iPhone to my MacBook. Tech support suggested adding or modifying a note on my iPhone, but when I synced with my MacBook, it not only added the new note, but deleted all the notes already on my iPhone. I suggest that anyone that buys the Mac version on the Mac app store not to install it to more than one Mac and sync to the same phone. ### 4/5 — Won *2012-04-02* Have enjoyed this app on my iPhone, but it has never synced to the iPad. Anybody know what I need to do? ### 4/5 — Love this new application. *2011-07-25* I agree with previous reviewers. I have Mac air version and I pad. Version. New iPad version even better. ### 5/5 — Great app! Better than Notes *2016-04-07* Nice little app that lets you keep all sorts of notes organized & safely backed up locally. I just saw the pro version came out and I think that's even better with even more features Apple's stock app doesn't have. Recommended! ### 5/5 — I love the new syncing speed. *2014-08-11* Version 1.2.6: Syncing is much faster now in version 1.2.6. It usually takes me under two seconds to sync a few files. The Sync window on the Mac now displays the date and time of the last sync. When I sync the Mac displays the number of notes duplicated, restored, added, and synced for both the Mac and the iOS device. This gives me all the information at a glance so I can easily see if I forgot to put a note in the sync category. Version 1.2.3: Now I can set the font and size I like best and also zoom in on a note to see it at a larger size temporarily in case I'm walking at the time or have my glasses off. I use that feature a lot. What happened to the sync? I used to have to turn it on every time I launched the app. Now I can set it and forget it. Once I set it on it stays on. Thanks. You made a great app even better. ### 5/5 — Excellent App *2013-09-06* I love this App, it comes in very handy when i need to transfer content between my devices and Mac etc.. ### 5/5 — iPad Sync *2012-04-25* Works just like sync to iPhone and/or iPod touch. See comprehensive Help built in to TopXNotes for Mac. ### 5/5 — A useful update to a very functional notes app *2011-07-21* As a long time TopXNotes user on the Mac, I appreciate the ability to bring my notes to the iPhone & back easily, in a simple uncomplicated app. ## Most praised reviews (5 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great note taking app *2011-07-20* TopXNotes just keeps getting better with each release. The guys seem to be working hard to tighten the integration between the iOS and desktop versions. This is a great little note taking app. I use the desktop version as well. If you want something a little stronger than the installed iPhone notes app then give TopXNotes a try. ### 5/5 — Cool note application *2011-07-19* I love this application, especially the new zoom text. Use it all the time. I especially like being able to sync cloudlessly. (sorry steve). ### 5/5 — Love this App! *2010-12-28* Incredibly useful... Every iPad should have it. ### 5/5 — TopX Notes *2010-08-04* Love this program! I've been using TopXNotes on my MacBook Pro for about a year and I could not live without it. It is an amazing organizational tool. Now with the iPhone sync it's Super. Tech support is very responsive and open to suggestions. I highly recommend this app!!!!
