Maybe it’s time to catch up
Several years ago Apple stopped supporting Bento. Yojimbo should have stepped up to replace it. It still requires Yojimbo on a Mac (which I no longer have). This would be a great iPad app, instead it’s just a client to the app.
I’d love to have BBEdit on my iPad, it’s not here either.
I first used BBEdit on a G4 iBook more than a decade ago, and last used it two years ago when my iPad Pro replaced my MBP.
Really need Yojimbo and BBEdit, but have no way to use them.

Beyond useless
This app, when it once worked, had little value because all the files were read only. Now it doesn’t sync anymore, so it is even more useless. Don’t buy it. Even if you ever get it working, it still would not help you. Forget this (cr)ap.
Outdated
Sync requires a paid subscription and Bare Bones hasn't been updating Yojimbo in years. Once upon a time one of my favorite apps. Now I've switched to other solutions like a combination of 1Password and Evernote.
BBEdit and TextWrangler are still great in my opinion, but Yojimbo is no longer worth buying or using.

Limited functionality
Unlike some, I had no problem syncing with my iPad Pro. Unfortunately, this is a read only app, which makes it of very limited use for me. It really is too bad because I like the application on the Mac. I find myself having to use Evernote instead simply because Evernote allows me to update date on my iPad.

Abandonware :(
See title.
Never syncs to IPad pro!
Support is useless. Do not buy!
Works Flawlessly
I have both the OS X version and the iOS version and so far both work flawlessly. The pairing worked the first time and I'm now getting data easily from my Mac. I especially like the "Print PDF to Yojimbo" capability. It makes filing emails effortless and then being able to access them on my iPad makes for a beautiful system.
The "all caps" review saying not to buy because it will never pair is obviously incorrect. Some people just can't admit when they need help, I guess... How very unfortunate that their comments might stop someone from getting a great piece of software.

DON'T BUY THIS APP IT'S A WASTE OF MONEY
this app will never pair with your mac. Support is worthless. The Mac app is fine, i use that all the time.
Flawless
I depend on this app every day. My only request is that the developer make an iPhone version. I’d be willing to pay for this, make it happen!
Never finishes sync
The price ($3) seemed fair so I could access my Yojimbo items on my iPad. Only problem is the sync fails a third of the way through -- every time. Have tried uninstalling, reinstalling, repairing, different Macs and tweaking wifi settings. Nothing works. Until this is fixed I can't recommend this app.

Great support
I use Yojimbo everyday, mainly as a print option to save paper and ink. I was concerned when I could not open my documents on my iPad. I contacted their support and they had the bug fixed almost immediately. An app is only as good as its support and Yojimbo is the best!
Great app
Latest bug fixes are right on the mark! Thanks, Barebones!
Needs better networking capability for pairing!
Not all computers are always on the same network for pairing! You really need to include the ability to add computers by IP#! For example, with my Mac Mini at work, it is on a wired network, but yet my iPad is on a wireless network with 2 totally different Network segments! I am unable to pair my iPad to my Mac Mini because there is no way to add it by IP#. In my opinion this is a major failing of this system that keeps me from using it to its full potential. Fix this, and I will change my rating!

Crashes on sync with Mac
As previous review - crashes on sync
Crashes on sync with Mac
Pretty much useless as it crashes and quits on sync with my iMac
Works fine
This version works fine on iOS 7 & now 7.1
Latest iOS7 update breaks pairing
My Yojimbo asked to re-pair with my main computer after this update but refuses to move past the pairing screen. Completely busted on iPad now. Useless until this bug is fixed.
Looking for an app to replace Yojimbo since they want to charge $36/yr to sync. Bad decision on Barebones part.
Plus they want to charge me to upgrade my desktop app to keep things working. Sheesh. A good app gone bad.

Atrocious sharing/sync support
There should be an option to open documents externally to registered apps.
Email sharing is broken. Email window stays open even after email is sent.
iCloud sync not supported yet?
Update: sync supper is utter crap... What a waste of money and time...

Yojimbo for iPad a must have
Excellent addition for a very useful utility, it run flawless in my iPad; the pairing process was easy and straight forward.
Yojimbo is in the process of acquiring iCloud functionality, meaning your data will be available in as many devices as needed!

Problem with this update?
I am a long-time user of Yojimbo on my Mac. Here is a case of a company that has allowed its fan base from what was originally a very good product to become discouraged and ultimately rejected to the point of losing them. I have never had consistent success synchronizing Yojimbo for iPad with my Mac. My last successful synch was in July 2012. This company has gone from being the leader in this type of product to being a distant last. Why they allowed Evernote to pass them without any attempt to accomplish what's been done there, I cannot understand. But Evernote is 10,000 times better. I would discourage anyone from investing in Yojimbo until they solve the synchronization problems that are key to any successful product in today's environment.
