Several years ago Apple stopped supporting Bento. Yojimbo should have stepped up to replace it. It still requires Yojimbo on a Mac (which I no longer have). This would be a great iPad app, instead it’s just a client to the app. I’d love to have BBEdit on my iPad, it’s not here either. I first used BBEdit on a G4 iBook more than a decade ago, and last used it two years ago when my iPad Pro replaced my MBP. Really need Yojimbo and BBEdit, but have no way to use them.
I have both the OS X version and the iOS version and so far both work flawlessly. The pairing worked the first time and I'm now getting data easily from my Mac. I especially like the "Print PDF to Yojimbo" capability. It makes filing emails effortless and then being able to access them on my iPad makes for a beautiful system. The "all caps" review saying not to buy because it will never pair is obviously incorrect. Some people just can't admit when they need help, I guess... How very unfortunate that their comments might stop someone from getting a great piece of software.
Not all computers are always on the same network for pairing! You really need to include the ability to add computers by IP#! For example, with my Mac Mini at work, it is on a wired network, but yet my iPad is on a wireless network with 2 totally different Network segments! I am unable to pair my iPad to my Mac Mini because there is no way to add it by IP#. In my opinion this is a major failing of this system that keeps me from using it to its full potential. Fix this, and I will change my rating!
