HyFlow: Awesome Note, Evolved

Updated as of Aug 28: I reached out directly to Brid, and their response was immediate and effective. They quickly remedied several issues I had identified, and provided comprehensive feedback and recommendations. Most responsive developer I’ve ever encountered! I’ve power-used Awesome Notes 2 for years. When I saw HyFlow, I expected the ability to seamlessly transition from AN2. Foolish me. First, the minimalist instructions with HyFlow are inadequate; I relied heavily on ChatGPT and Gemini to augment the thin HyFlow content. Second, when I did the transfer from AN2 to HyFlow, it failed to transfer hundreds of notes. I had to go back and do backup/restore for each folder to cleanly transfer items. Cleanup was laborious. Finally, the iPhone install was 🫨 similarly cantankerous. I don’t mind being a bit of a guinea pig, but feel like I’m participating in alpha testing. Your app clearly has promise, but it hasn’t achieved it yet, at least for this disappointed user.

After the recent updates that they’ve made, I can now see this app surpassing awesome notes. Hopefully in the future, they’ll have an update where you can add your own background wallpaper instead of just Light and Dark Mode. Good job on updating the app.

I have to admit, I begrudgingly ported over from A2 to Hyflow when I learned that they were sun setting A2 support. I didn’t like HF… at first… but the more I used it, the better my workflow experience became. Admittedly, the current app is still buggy, and the dev updates with new or improved features and integrations are not as frequent as I’d like. However, no matter how many similar all-in-one organizational apps I sample, I still end up comeback to HF and really appreciating what the app does for my flows. Again, it isn’t without its faults and things I would improve, but the overall experience is what works for me!
