どんどん改善されて1番のアプリになった

どんどん改善されて1番のアプリになった。マック版がアップデート後重くなった気がする。

iマークを押すと右端に栞が出ることに気がついた。今はh3設定になっている。これを使えばすぐに戻れるのでとりあえずは随分良くなった。

基本的によく出来ているように思えるが私と同じような使い方をしている人には以下の致命的な点で全くお勧めしない
勉強中閲覧モードで使っていると突然強制的にページの先頭(時に末尾)に移動してしまい、読んでいたところに戻るのに苦労する
上記は編集モードでも起きることがわかった。
メモが長くなると丈夫に警告文が出てくる。そのメモをコピーし、二つに分割し先にタイトル変更したい。その警告文が邪魔をしてタイトル編集ができない
分割するためいらない部分を選択削除しようとするとフリーズする

Ideal replacement for Evernote … unless

I have been a user of Evernote since 2009. Over those years, I loved it and stored all kinds of recipes, web clippings and other vital information in it. I tried to move to OneNote. But it was clunky and unintuitive. I started using Apple Notes cause it was faster to open and put in simple info. A couple years ago Evernote doubled their price. I looked for new options. But nothing was close. So I endure that first doubling of price. But then they did it again. So I tried OneNote, Apple Notes, Obsidian, NotesNook and various other options. None could import my old notes from Evernote acceptably. Almost all crashed while importing my (large note library), over 4000 notes. Apple notes crashed and performed poorly. OneNote couldn’t do the import. And even after working through the hiccups. Its import sucked and looked terrible. NotesNook crashed trying to import them. And Obsidian was just more than I bargained for. I also tried Joplin, which did import them, but constantly reported errors on syncing and importing. The last one I found was UpNote. It imported everything perfectly, and is much more responsive and user friendly than Evernote ever was. I’ve been using it now for over 6 months and can say, it has been an amazing replacement for Evernote. It loads faster, it’s easier to use and it allows you to pin notes to individual notebooks, or to the main notebook listing. I find myself using it more regularly than Evernote, because it’s faster to open. Quicker to organize and the search is better. Granted, it doesn’t have the breadth of features Evernote has. But I didn’t use most of those anyway. I find it more robust than Apple Notes, and far faster than Evernote!! I’ve been loving it and likely won’t switch again until they raise their price to the point it’s unaffordable. I would highly recommend using this app for all your note taking needs!!!
