Reviews: What People Think About Bear - Markdown Notes

I hated the notes app, even tho on iOS it did get a lot better. It still wasn’t enough for me. So I downloaded about 10 note-taking apps, tried them each for a day or two, kept fiddling around, but it was a Goldilocks problem for me. I can’t handle too many options in my organization- I end up creating these ridiculous systems I will never use. But I need a fair amount of functionality, and all the apps I tried where one or the other. Bear was one of the last I tried and I fell in love so fast. It’s minimalistic but, for me, it does everything I need and it does it well. The UI is elegant and cozy and enjoyable to work in. There were a few things I didn’t know how to do right when I started but it wasn’t much a learning curve. I had the basics down once I read through the welcome pages, and then specific questions I had were always in the Support Library or in the community pages. It took me less than a day before I started to feel intuitive using it. I just think it is great, I was gearing up to start using Obsidian but tbh when I watched the first video it linked to it seemed kind of cult-y. I use Bear for all my notes, and since I am trying to write a book, I did decide to use Ulysses for that. But I like to keep my notes and research over here until I have them pared down, then I move them into the project over there. Bear is great- be like Bear, get Bear, and the subscription is a no-brainer. Thank you Bear!! 👏👏👏👏

TLDR: Bear is an impressive notes app that functions very well on all Apple devices, and has everything you’d want in a notes app without the issues seen across it’s competitors. This is hands down the best notes app I’ve ever used. I’ve tried them all; OneNote, Evernote, Apple Notes, you name it. None are as clean and minimal as Bear. No intrusive UI; No head-scratching organization structure; Bear allows you to jump into your notes quickly and organize them with ease using an extremely flexible tagging system. The text editor is of such good quality, it almost feels like the Notes app merged with Microsoft Word to create a perfectly balanced app for both simple and sophisticated use cases. It’s easy to import pictures, create checklists, and export to other formats as well. It comes with plenty of themes to customize to your liking, and the app is available on all Apple devices. The Apple Watch app is icing on the cake! You can craft and view entire notes from the app, and it even retains it’s structure and readability. It’s so good that I could be fine studying lecture notes on my watch if I wanted to!

Bear is ok but the lack of folders is annoying. In fact it’s a deal breaker. In no way does the tag system give more freedom or make things easier, in fact the opposite is true. Just because something is better for you personally doesn’t mean as a business owner you don’t try and accommodate everyone who might possibly be using your product. And answers like “we have determined this is better” don't help. Better for you maybe but not everyone. The hashtag system is ok but a lot of us use folders and without them it makes organization difficult. We can’t nest hashtags into hashtags so the left column is just a jumbled mess, that can never be organized. Every time I open bear It’s like walking into a messy room that I can’t do anything with. Also the reading time estimation is way off. This is an important feature for us in fact one of the only reasons we considered bear so we don't have to take notes from Apple notes into pages, just to find out word count, and then paste into a website to find reading time But bears estimation calculation is severely off by a lot. I did a test and used three different online calculators to determine reading length for some text I wrote, and all came back between 9 and 9:30 minutes. Bear however said 4:45 for the same text. This may not seem like a big deal but is extremely important for what we do.
