User reviews

good features undermined by ux

genuinely the worst UX I've ever experienced in my life. The only reason I'm leaving a review. The features are great. Are they worth dealing with the UX? coin toss. The UX sabotages the users's ability to do anything. Who allowed for overlapping menus?

Bug report

There’s a bug with the duplication of the selected writings and shapes, and with the copy tool, please improve this. If i duplicate something, it disappears.

Syncing problematic

The syncing is problematic. I typically end up with a document with a ! In the cloud icon. Then I end up with two documents and have to resolve the conflict. Has been like this for years.

I’d love to use this app but it’s unreliable.

interface changes to lead me confuse...

the looking of folder-file list changes a lot!
just after update, I wonder how to control.
it seems to take time to be familiar with new interface.
also many settings are changed then I'mSo comfused how to set to fit with my taste.

Meh

Not bad, but not particularly good either. I just found this... meh. Probably would describe this slightly below average when compared to the top-notch notes apps, maybe mediocre at best. Unfortunately, there wasn't anything I found worth noting about (pun intended). Don't get me wrong, it is a solid app, just maybe a little behind on updates. I didn't find anything unique, special, or exciting that would make me want to continue using this app. It isnt necessarily a bad note taking app and does have a handful of useful tools and features to get your bare minimum note taking needs met, and it isn't half bad to look at either. It just doesn't stand out or having anything different, nothing new or refreshing or amazing, that would make me want to use this above any other average, typical, basic notes app.
