User Reviews and Ratings
★★★☆☆It works.. but note editing in the app is better
The app works, it lets you connect to your Nextcloud and edit notes… it has no formatting options at all. Very round about ways to make lists, and if you tap anywhere in the editor it takes you there to edit even if you are just trying to scroll. There is a reading mode, but it doesn’t allow you to check boxes of you finally figured out out to make them. The notes section in the base app works way better, gives you all the editing tools you need. Just use that in my opinion.
★★★☆☆Buggy but somewhat useful
Getting the menu that lets you paste to show can be an exercise in frustration. Tap somewhere to type and the onscreen keyboard will most likely cover the area your about to type in. If you dont refresh after closing a new note you created its likely to lose everything you just typed. Other than that it’s a somewhat useful app. Update: a bug that’s been here a while and still is after today’s update is that when you do a search, open a note, close the note, the search field is gone. The only
★★★★★Good; useful
Works fine for me, syncing is certainly more reliable now than previous versions months ago. Enjoying new markdown view mode.
★★☆☆☆Not production ready
App is missing core functionality such as: multi-step undo. No support for multiple accounts/profile-switching such as work/home. There is a strong focus on markdown instead of getting robust plain-text support to work first. Updates are not well tested in seem to introduce regressions as much as fix exising problems. Older versions which had fewer features, ran smoothly. As of 4.0.4, interaction is slow and clunk-clunk-clunky. Adding text to a note adds ~100ms delay per letter typed (with Notes
★★★☆☆Needs Work
It is nice to be able to sync notes with nextcloud but this app seems to function more as a web wrapper than a native app. It disconnects all the time even if you are in the middle of editing notes. I wouldn’t rely on it but it does allow you to take quick notes which is useful.
