Notebooks – Write and Organize App Reviews

I have been a long time Notebooks user. I have always wished there is an UNDO command, or UNDO key, to reverse the last edit. It makes things so much simpler. If you don’t make it, I’m not going to leave. But I won’t give 5 stars either. If at anything - do it for a long time user. 😊

Use it everyday for many many years. Never had any problems. Thank you.

Don’t like the new changes especially since we had to pay for them. The old system was much better and easier to use. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it.

Best app , finally after trying many apps this one checks most if not all boxes for me. I self host my services and this works well with that. if I must say something I say I would like actual folders and a desktop app maybe that’s would be cool! But by far great app

No longer syncs. Time to move on. Edit: seems to be syncing now. I did uninstall from iPad and reinstalled.

After a severe scare thinking I’d lost all my data after an iOS hiccup and iCloud issue causing the app to fail to load. The data is coming back now. Wew Very easy to use for organizing notes and stuff. Lots of features though I miss the document locked preventing accidental editing or removing.

It does everything really, really well…. I’ve been using it for many years. The developers are wonderful also. When my phone died recently, they helped me recover my old data. Truly awesome.

Please offer the feature of having different color words ON THE SAME PAGE. When I change the color, it changes the whole page. I would like to have One line in black, one line in red, one line blue, etc. . . . .

Well designed and works perfectly with the Mac version.

I have used this app since 2018. I changed to the iPhone 14 pro. I redownloaded the app and now everything is gone. Please help

Utterly love this app

I’ve tried a lot of note apps and this one just works so well.. it sync’s to DropBox without a hitch, works on all platforms (although I’ve only tried iOS and Mac). I had it import all my markdown files (hundreds) without issue from a GitHub repo I had on the iPad care of Working Copy. So far I’ve been very pleased with everything. Try it out! It’s very feature rich in my opinion. I will state that there is a lot of functionality that I’m not using at the moment but perhaps some day…

I have tried several app with lots of “ Bells and Whistles “ to manage my data - but in the end - I am always coming back to this one. Simplicity , stability, quick access - it just works ….

2023-01-23: I downloaded this app about 15 minutes ago and it has crashed several times on my iPad. The feature set is very versatile with many export formats and the feature to set up a book as a task list is actually the type of functionality I am looking for to be able to track projects and project notes over extended periods of time. And I like that data is not collected. It was also positive that there appears to be continuous development and maintenance. Other apps I have used do not

the ease of use with voice over plus the ability to categorize notes, compress multiple text files into a single document, and many other features listed in the description set this app apart. Adding this app to my life meant finally getting rid of the other four or five filled with clutter!

The best writing app I've used so far.

I use this app for everything.

I initially wrote a bad review because it says it doesn’t sync with Dropbox. But actually it does He wrote….. This version still synchronizes with Dropbox, no worries. - Please bear in mind that you can set Notebooks to either sync with Dropbox or sync with iCloud. So I guess that you have set Notebooks to store its documents on iCloud. To change that, open Notebooks' settings > Locations and switch to "this iPhone/iPad". When done, you find Dropbox as an option in Notebooks' sync settings."

I’ve tried so many different apps for note taking and none of them compare to this app. I have been using it since medical school and have been able to organize everything that I have learned in lectures, rounds, books, talks all in a way that is easy to use, organized in a way that knowledge builds upon itself and is easily searchable. I honestly don’t know what I would do without this app.

I keep all my data all my notes my records my spreadsheets my PDFs everything completely organized I can retrieve them from anywhere in the world and in one second and from multiple devices it is a godsend absolutely a must. Daniel

Use it everyday.

Absolutely amazing productivity from the uniquely holistic view of multiple documents and document types in the same app, with the ability to Merge and Split documents, like Scrivener. And with superb text editing and Markdown functionality that makes writing and working with text on iOS a true pleasure. Excellent output formats as well (PDF, EPUB, RTF, etc). The developer is also incredibly responsive and helpful! This app is a true BREAKTHROUGH in information management!!

This is an excellent, highly capable word processor app. I’ve been using it for several months, and I have been very impressed with the wide array of functions possible, one being that I can pick if I want the document formatted or not. That is very helpful to me. Deep thanks to the Developer!!

Notebooks is one of the most important apps on my phone and computer. I use it constantly to manage all kinds of work.

And a whole lot more. This is the ‘writing app’ I’ve been looking for! I even got tired just going through all of the configurable features, for crying out loud. LOL I love it. lol I’m slowly transferring my notes from Noto to Notebooks for I need a serious writing/organizing app! —————-Developer: You are defaulting the deletion challenge to off when first installed. You want to default to On!

Thanks for the great app and great support. I am still loving Notebooks! I use it everyday. I hope i can be supportive in the development of this wonderful program.

Powerful, customizable, well-supported by the developer - it is the perfect app for taking notes in markdown format, and now that it works with iCloud (as opposed to Dropbox) I use it as a file manager to keep some critical items safely in sync across my iPhone, iPad and Mac.

Great for all my “top of the head” musings, misc thoughts, philosophical insights. Create your own categories to suite yourself, and chase some rabbits and there’s space to follow up and refresh your memory another day. Highly recommend.

I have been using it since 2014. Over the years it has become easier and more foolproof to use. I use it for random things I want to keep track of, and now to take notes in, as I might a paper notebook. I also love the way the developer writes back so quickly. It's reassuring. A great app.

Still have not been able to sync iPad and iPhone. Other than that it’s great

It has pages for documents, and folders to help keep it all grouped together. I use it because my job and lifestyle. Out grew my pocket memory book. This app does more. I just don’t use those parts.
