User Reviews for Notebook - Take notes, To do

Just one problem

I love this app. It’s really user friendly and I replaced it with my Apple notes app which I really liked already. If you just want to sketch a drawing this is great. Definitely don’t use this if you’re a digital artist. However I have one problem. I have a Siri shortcut that creates a note for me, but when I exit that note, it doesn’t show me my notebooks, it just shows me a blank screen. So then I have to close the app out and then jump back in and it loads and FINALLY I can see my notebooks again. I think this is a great app for college students for taking notes. If you’re willing to pay for an app, I recommend notability. I love this app if you’re coming from apple notes. Did I mention that it has a dark mode! So everything about this app is great besides the Siri shortcut app problem. I think this is a great app for college students, people coming from apple notes, or people who use digital shopping lists. And one more thing, I think the iPhone version is a little harder to use, but the XS max or any iPad version is easier to use.

This is amazing! But it just needs a few more!

I’ve downloaded a bunch of journaling apps and I absolutely love this one for notes too. I love the interface and the organization of it. I like to write down all my thoughts because I don’t have the friends to share them with. Despite the amazing appeal of it, there isn’t much you can do when it comes to writing. You’re not able to change the font of certain areas or highlight anything. I love being able to add audios and be able to draw but when it comes to the scribbling part, you’re making a separate photo rather than actually drawing on the notes that you wrote. What I think would make this app be one of the best note taking apps if they were able to add the ability to highlight text, change fonts, change the color of text, and be able to draw ON the text. It really upsets me that I’m other apps I’m required to pay them even though I can just do the same thing for free on an art program and also do the same exact thing easily for free with a real notebook and some pens, or on google docs we’re able to highlight and change the colors and all that. This addition would especially be helpful for me and many others during the pandemic since most of us are online learners.

Not for everyone

I’ll start off by saying I have been a long time Evernote user. I saw that Zoho had built a tool to migrate all of your Evernote notes into their notebook and I thought wow that’s awesome. I use other Zoho products and love them. So I went ahead and did it. I then tried to use zoho notebook instead of Evernote. Just couldn’t do it. You can’t intelligibly sort the notes very well. You have to go to the settings dialog to globally sort things which is incredibly frustrating. Filtering is non existent. The biggest problem for me was the emphasis on tile view (when looking at a notebook) and making things these giant cards. In Evernote I have several view options for listing my notes and my personal favorite is the title, a couple lines of the body and an icon for an attachment to the right. This small list item card tells me a ton about the note. It might have been the migration from Evernote to Zoho notebooks that messed things up, but the only way I can find my notes in Zoho is to search. The note cards don’t have any description on them, only a blown up icon picture and the name of the attachment. Not useful. The last thing that I use in Evernote extensively is email to note. This is not in Zoho notebook and you have to use Zapier to make it work. Tried that and it is very clunky and doesn’t include any attachments. In the end, I think the app is okay for simple notes, but heavy users should think twice. And coming from Evernote you will be limited.

Love the customization options!!!

100% FREE NO ADVERTISEMENTS NO POP UPS Create ‘notebooks’ with fully customizable covers with any image in your Photos. I found some cool art on a random web search and simply took a screenshot, saved it to the Photos app and voilà. Essentially works as a folder but with customizable cover. Next, create colorful notes (any RGB) with text, check boxes (I use for shopping lists), tables, free draw, attachments and voice recording. Within each note you can customize paragraph spacing like tabs, centering, bullet point and numbered lists, and more. Can lock and move notes to other notebooks. Ability to share to your contacts right in a text message. A few changes I’d like to see implemented include less space between notebooks on the main page with choice of smaller icons as 4 notebooks take up my whole screen. Also less space within paragraphs in each note. Lastly, couldn’t find a way to change font. On the whole would definitely recommend! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

In Dire need for a…

I’m giving 3 stars here not because this app only deserves a 3 star - I just downloaded the app a short while ago and haven’t got my hands all warmed up with it but from an quick look I guess the iPhone version of the app per se deserves 5 start or maybe 4 (for hard to find the signup/login after you bought the in-app option) . On the contrary that I wasn’t happy with the app so I gave it a 3, but rather, I see the potential of it and it should have a macOS version while it doesn’t. I wish the 3 star rating alerts the developer of such Need and call for people likeminded to agree. I’ve been using Evernote since forever as it’s the only note-taking app using *keyboard* as the main input (rather than drawing) source and has cloud sync feature and is available for all Apple devices. I, amongst many people, are in dire need for a replacement to Evernote which has some ridiculous flaws. For starters you can only choose a color from a preset of 14 colors for your fonts; second, the contextual menu in Evernote Mac version blocked many native options like “Look UP” and “Services”; the 3rd, they even reinvented existing macOS shortcuts for no reason (eg. “Paste&Match Style” ). So I’m appealing to the developer of the “Notebook” app that they make a MacOS version of the Notebook and I kinda have a gut telling that this Mac version will win you another editor’s choice.

So Buggy!

I’ve been using this app for notes for college and it’s pretty great except for all the bugs. Sometimes half of what I’ve written will disappear and I have to rewrite it (this often happens more than once and I write it again and again), it will make the screen freeze, but the biggest problem arose today when suddenly it started crashing, I cannot open the app because a second later it crashes, making it unusable. I’ve tried updating the app, updating my iPad, restarted my iPad like 5 times, I even took the app off and redownloaded it, and nothing has worked. The weird thing is that I can open the app fine on my phone to read notes, but I’m not able to hand write stuff that way. I didn’t want to delete the app in case I lost everything. Please fix this ASAP, I really need to have this work for my classes.Edit: I have been trying to move all my notes over to another app via my phone and not even that will work. It says that it was exported but the only thing that appears is the text description I put. There are also notes where the contents won't load.... this app is starting to reach the end of my patience

Very good. 👍

Has been a good note taking app, but was always a bit quirky when navigating a work in progress.This seems to have improved just lately though. Has some nice features, which work very well.This is why I’ve continued using it over some others. Lately though a number of app makers are going the way of some other greedy app developers by changing to subscription’s. Subscriptions are for magazines, who have totally new content every month. "Most apps don’t."I’ve never had a subscription app, and I never will. I will pay a fair one time price, for a good, and well supported app… I’ve now been informed that everything with the current non subscription plan will remain the same as it was, and you can still write notes up to 30MB, Upload files of a size up to 100MB, Get 24x5 support via Email, Community forum and access to the NB knowledge base, Get Complete offline access to your notes, Rollback to any of the past 10 versions of any notecard, Setup recurring reminders to your notecard, Lock your notes, Private Share and much more… So from the response that I and others have received, I’ve gathered that they are assuring us that we will continue to have all the same features and great support we’ve become accustomed to.

this app DELETED my note

So I had a set of important notes that I typed out. A day later, I decided to add another set of notes to the same notebook that the aforementioned notes were in. This notebook only had these two notes. Halfway through writing the second note, I decided to take a break and closed the second note. I clicked back to return to the homescreen where I could see all my notes and voila, that whole notebook was missing. I checked through the trash can to see if I had accidentally deleted it and the notes didn’t show up. I even dug through the app’s files on my laptop in the application support section and couldn’t find my notes to any avail. At this point, I was extremely frustrated and worried that my other notes would go missing. I decided to give Zoho notes another chance and retyped up both notes again and carefully closed my notebook once again and returned to the home page to see an overview of my notebooks. AND MY NOTES WERE MISSING AGAIN. I checked through the source files again and could not find them. I’m really angry and disappointed in this app because it had such good prospects and user design, but if my notes are just going to suddenly go missing, I can’t rely on this app. I’ve decided to migrate to Evernote instead.

This puts Apple’s stock Notes app to shame!

I rarely do reviews, but I can honestly say that I have been in love with this app for several years now. It has every feature, well, except one I can think of, that I, personally, could ask for in an app like this! I love the tagging, the customization (personal wallpapers for folder), the easy PDF converter/sharing, the easy app integration with other apps…the list goes on. The only feature I would like, and to be honest, I don’t even think you can do it with any app other than the ones that come in the phone (maybe not), is when you search for something on the main screen of your actual phone it doesn’t seem to search through the app. I was looking for some information I know I had saved the other day, but I could not recall where I had saved it. I had to open the app and search within here to find it. Frustrating because I almost gave up thinking maybe I didn’t save the information in the first place. I thought apps used to be able to do this without having to open them, but I can’t recall anything anymore. Again, maybe I’m doing something wrong, but it’s not the worst thing. All the other features out surpass that one negative thing in my opinion. Totally worth, at the very least, checking out!!

It has some of the best features but could use improvement in a few areas

This app is one of the best note-taking apps because of the many features it has. I only have a few suggestions for improvement in these areas:(1) I want to import an image from my gallery but I can only do that by picking the “Take photo” option. I don’t want to take a photo because I’m working with diagrams for school. It bothers me that this app keeps asking for permission to access my camera when I just want to go to the gallery. There should be a separate button that takes me directly to the gallery.(2) I wish tagging was possible to improve organization of notes. I’d like to add tags to notes and be able to search for those tags through the search bar, just as I can for keywords in the notes. This type of categorization would help me a lot to organize my thinking, and find what I’m looking for more easily. Personalized tags are a great tool for making sense of scattered notes, so I really hope this feature will be considered.
