Reviews: What People Think About Notebooks – Write and Organize

Rating: 5/5
Absolutely LOVE this awesome app! Does EVERYTHING I can imagine doing for organization of many varied interests. Deserves 5 stars except for one vulnerability that cost me a lot of lost time. I went back to a file that I’ve been building for 2 years that had a ton of important information that I access daily … and it was GONE! I have noticed it’s REAL EASY to ACCIDENTALLY run my finger across a BOOK title and it gives option to delete without second stop of “Are you sure?” In normal folder I can set it to “Read Only” and it’s protected. But if that same protected folder is within a BOOK and I accidentally swipe on the BOOK it is GONE! Fortunately, my valuable data is backed up to Drop Box and I could find it there, but to get it back into Notebooks I have to go book by book, document by document to reconstruct it. Fix that one important vulnerability and I will go back to a 5 star rating. I recommend this app to everyone and use it more than any other app on my iPad and iPhone.

I’ve been using Notebooks for years. It is the perfect app for taking a variety of different kinds of notes and maintaining documents. It is a solid, bug-free app with Dropbox support (important for me for backups), most importantly with no required subscription! I keep a camping todo list, lists of movies and tv shows I want to see, gift ideas, and many categories of ideas that pop into my head… I get a good idea, I pop out notebooks and write the idea in a short note in one of the nested folders for whatever the category is that I want to remember something. I don’t do a ton of app reviews but my phone just asked for one, and this is one of the few apps I use where I feel a good review is actually “owed” to the developer for such a quality product that I use daily for years ;) I opened this review request in the middle of writing a note, so I better get back to it before I forget what I wanted to record and remember.

TLDR; If you have been looking for a notebook app that is not a subscription with portable data and deeply integrated in the apple ecosystem system, this is it. I looked a long time at different note apps. I would not have found this if I hadn&#39;t been on the forum for another app. I guess that&#39;s the only real issue with it is that the name makes it a little hard to find the App Store. Notebooks does a great job of leveraging things like iCloud and Apple’s technology, including intelligence, so that you don&#39;t end up paying for duplicate features or a separate cloud. It also means it can to interact with other apps that use iCloud or Finder. For example it works well with DEVONthink. Also, It saves an open formats like markdown and HTML. Even if this app disappeared tomorrow you would have no issues. The developer is great and responsive. The app has been around for a while, so you feel like you can actually trust investing in a purchase. I looked at everything from Evernote, Bear to Obsidian, but in my opinion, this is goto notebook app if you&#39;re in the Apple ecosystem and share priorities as mentioned above The developer does not chase every feature and the focus is on notes. For a development team of that size, I think he makes the right call in terms of focus. Documentation is also great.
About Notebooks – Write and Organize
Notebooks is a comprehensive writing app with a powerful text and Markdown editor, which you can use as personal Wiki, Zettelkasten, file and document organizer, task manager, PDF/eBook creator and much more—all in one place.

• Notebooks stores all your documents as regular files in standard formats. You are always in control of your documents, never need to worry about how to export them, and they remain compatible across devices and over time.

• Create formatted documents with styles, attachments, tables or checklists, and add a table of contents if you like. Choose between a variation of ready made document styles, or create your own, if you want.

• Write your documents in plain text and allow Notebooks to automatically handle lists, highlight and center the current line on screen, automatically insert closing characters for (, {, [, " and more. - Plain text is a universal format which can be used on any device without any specific software.

• Use Markdown to create formatted documents from plain text. Notebooks supports *MultiMarkdown* and its own flavor of *Discount*. – Click any word in a formatted Markdown text and start writing at that position.

User Comments:

“Notebooks is a wonderful App, which is so much better than the dozen other note apps I tried. It is sophisticated, in an unassuming way, so that you find yourself greatly rewarded and being productive without sacrificing time/effort to the App. I cannot tell you how much productivity I have gained. I am having a huge amount of fun, I use it constantly, more than the phone on my iPhone in fact."

“You are GTD in every way that makes it efficient and makes me efficient.”
