I hope they get it fixed (ver 1.7.5)

I’ve been looking for something like this for linking notes. Other Zettelkasten type apps are more full blown than I want to contend with. I love the simplicity and feel of this.
The instructions say I can create a linked note from within another note, but it only allows link to existing. I’d really like the ability to set keywords that cross-link to each other.
Some of the other reviews make me hesitant to entrust my data here. It helps to know there’s an export option at least.
One user mentioned the Ai suggestions were not in English and I see that too. I translated them and can say they also are not relevant suggestions to me (trends in card design) so maybe linked to the developers account?
Personally, I think they should remove the paid tier for early adopters until they have enough feedback to get the bugs worked out.

Ai Prompts???

Most of the app is in English but the Ai prompts are not. I wasn’t able to find a way to fix that.

Please make it work

I love using this app. But it keeps breaking and I would lose the note I am creating.

Was Fantastic App…

.. it now freezes completely on open. Uninstall/re-install/restart - no working. Clicked support link - buttons on webpage don’t work. Really glad I did not jump in on power pack yesterday. HOWEVER - if they sort the issues, this is a great app. The ‘Permanent Power Pack’ purchase option is not there at the moment. I went to website but the ‘buttons’ don’t do anything when you click on them. The App has everything you can need to be a ‘Zet’ Master!

Minimalist, smooth experience

Lovely app for evergreen note makers :)

Annoying Bug

I purchased a subscription. Every time I open the app I’m presented with the initial startup screen, that’s very annoying, please fix that.

Good but could use an additional feature

Please allow for multiple “Rediscover” options for different tags e.g., a single card tagged with “Inspiration” to be shown daily, two cards with tag “Home” to be shown daily.

(Update) Ready to subscribe but the bugs are bad

Please fix this. I have 3 other options but love the potential and simplicity of this app.

(IPad M4): After the recent update the bugs are still prevalent and app breaking.

1. Constant freezing and crashing
2. New cards won’t register.
3. When clicking any other card in the inbox panel the I get no response. Only shows the very first one.
4. Double lettering. 20% of the time clicking a random card will prompt that card directly on top of previous card and literally has the letters over each other.
5. I can’t ever get anything from clicking the + when trying to add a related card.

I want this app to work because it captures the zettelkasten method perfectly.

All I want is the app to work and an option to see all of my connections. Like a diagram or similar concept to obsidian. I’d be willing to shill out a subscription if this can be fixed and cool connection view be implemented.

Response from developer

I'm glad to receive your feedback, but I'm sorry for the negative experience you've had. The iPad version currently has some adaptation and stability issues. We have plans to optimize and resolve these problems, but it may take a few weeks due to our development schedule. Please trust that Zettelbox will become something you enjoy.

Ready to subscribe but the bugs are bad

Wanted this to be my go-to zettelkasten app but the iPad version does not work.

-The new not does not appear
-does not show up connected to old notes
-words are glitching on top of existing words so it’s not legible.

I’d be happy with a pay once option too once it actually works

A diagram region that shows connections would be nice

What the heck?

I left a great review for the iOS version of this app and purchased a one-year subscription. I was looking forward to using it on my Mac and my iPad.
The Mac app is unusable as it is in a foreign language!!!
The iPad app lacks the ability to go to settings and will not sync with my iPhone data.
The whole thing feels like a scam and I should have known better than to trust an app that is foreign and reasonably priced.

Response from developer

I'm sorry for the poor experience. We are currently developing the macOS version. Since it uses a different set of development technologies compared to iOS, we have encountered some difficulties in handling certain details, such as the rich text editor. However, don't worry, the latest version of macOS Zettelbox will be released this month, and it will also include feature optimizations for the iPad.

Redefines Note Taking

I love this app and subscribed to the annual plan. With a few more features added, I’ll likely purchase the lifetime.

🌟I love that there is no data collection and no data linked to you.
🌟I love the reasonable subscription price point
🌟I love the option of a one-off lifetime purchase
🌟I love that it’s “just enough” to be perfect for an avid note taker and yet not so much that it’s overwhelming or that you’re paying for advanced features you will most likely never use (I’ve tried Supernotes and like it but the price point is way too high and has features that I personally would never use or need)

What it needs to be a 6 ⭐️app

‼️ available in the share menu
🤞 rich text
🤞 color palette wheel for broader tag-color options
🤞 ability to lock app and/or individual notes

Don’t believe the ads

I saw the ad and loved the different notebooks and themes it showed. Upon purchasing , I quickly found out that they do not exist on the actual app. Those are all for show. There are no themes or colors or anything like that on this app. So disappointing.

iPhone Zettelbox is good, Mac Zettelbox is bad

Zettelbox is a good iPhone app. Zettelbox is a bad Mac app. The iPhone version of Zettelbox is in a langauge that I understand. The Mac version of Zettelbox is in a language that I do not understand. Please update the Mac version of Zettelbox so it can be used by international customers who speak English. I would prefer not to leave a bad review, but I have no choice. The "App Support" link directed me to a website that does not exist. The Zettelbox website, which I was able to find via Google, does not have any way for customers to leave feedback. I have paid $15 for an annual subscription to Zettelbox. Had I known that the Mac version of Zettelbox was so subpar, I might have decided against subscribing to Zettelbox.

Zettelbox 是一款不错的 iPhone 应用程序。Zettelbox 是一款糟糕的 Mac 应用程序。Zettelbox 的 iPhone 版本使用的是我能理解的语言。Zettelbox 的 Mac 版本使用的是我无法理解的语言。请更新 Zettelbox 的 Mac 版本,以便能够供讲英语的国际客户使用。我不想留下差评,但我别无选择。“应用程序支持”链接将我引导到一个不存在的网站。我通过 Google 找到的 Zettelbox 网站没有任何方式供客户留下反馈。我已支付 15 美元购买 Zettelbox 的年度订阅服务。如果我知道 Zettelbox 的 Mac 版本如此低劣,我可能会决定不订阅 Zettelbox。
