Notesy for Dropbox App Reviews

74 add

iPhone 6 update needed

App is functional. However, an update for the larger iPhone 6 phones is needed, as the text looks very poor at the moment. The base is solid, but the app is very slow to add any new features.

Little bug - fix it, please!

Excellent app, but fix one annoying bug, please: when you launch the prog, and trying to go to upper folders, it starts syncing and suddenly from folder youve chosen returns to folder youve started with, so you have to go to upper folders again. Im on iPhone4, iOS 5.1.1.

WAT?!

"Full offline support... although youll need to visit subfolders before changes in those folders will be synced." So if I create a note in some folder being in subway, I colud get collision or simple lose the note?!! Cannot move notes into other folders! (?!!)

great

great app! the best among apps with dropbox sync

What USE is a NotePad App that wont read text files!?

Title says it all. iPads built in text app wont read .txt or .log files and neither will this pile of fail. Why am I bothering?

This app is the perfect text editor

I dont normally write reviews, but Notesy IS the perfect text editor. Works great when used alongside nVALT and Dropbox.

My favorite text editor on iOS

The addition of the enhanced keyboard row was great, further establishing Notesy as my go-to text editor.

Nice!

Only a few feature requests: 1. To be able to swipe my thumb from left to right on a note to return to the list. The back button is kind of a pain to reach in the upper left corner. This is a common problem on most apps though, not just Notesy. 2. Add Source Code Pro and Avenir fonts. 3. The "View Info" pane strays a little too close to brushed metal. Might be worth revisiting the design of the info pane. Anyway, great app. By far the best Dropbox syncing note taking app Ive ever used on the iPhone.

AWESOMO

I love how the same txt files are synced w/ my PC, and vice versa, via dropbox. I use Notesy for my main shopping list, to-do list, favorite URL links, all my account usernames and passwords, resume txt copy, whatever, and its great that this app is also password protected too. Notesy is one of my favorite apps I use everyday of my life.

Crashes All The Time

I really wanted to love this app -- and was expecting to, based on the reviews Ive read -- but its just not stable: it crashes all the time.

needs work

it is supposed to be a way to keep important info, but it is very unreliable. it crashes 2 times out of 3 when I try to copy&paste from another app. The dropbox sync is a nightmare with a dozen versions created on dropbox for a single note, including some with "conflicts" in their filename. until notesy has a reliable sync with dropbox, it is worth than having nothing: it is dangerous to use (i slready lost important info)

Super fast, convenient, simple

Fast syncing with Dropbox, with the new toolbar that includes tab and special characters makes typing fast and convenient. Simple interface includes settings like pass code lock. Very stable for me, even on iPad first gen. This is my "go to" note taking and writing app on my iPhone and iPad. Forget Evernote and even Simplenote. This is it for me.

Like it!

Moved my Mac based Notational Velocity off Simplenote and into Dropbox. This is the iPhone side. It works really well and now using CherryNote I can sync cross platform to my Blackberry. Nice.

Immediately went back to Simplenote

Had this on my iPhone for less than a day. I was tempted to try it after reading several reviews which were generally quite positive. I have been using nvALT on my Mac and syncing it with Simplenote on my iPhone and iPad. After going through all the steps configuring nvAL on the Mac to work with Notesy and Dropbox I ended up switching right back to Simplenote/nvALT combo. Heres why. First, the notes are kept as individual files and noy as an encrypted database. Personally, I would rather have the notes as a database. Second, the sync works but is clunky. Simplenote/nvALT is instantaneous and seamless. Third (and this was a biggie) urls in notes within nvALT are not saved as hyperlinks on the iPhone/iPad. Since I often save linked pages in nvALT this was a deal breaker for me.

Perfect

I wanted to edit the same text file from my iPad, iPhone, or Mac. This worked perfectly and synced as soon as finished editing.

Very nice

I love the simplicity of the UI and the overall feel. It does what it does without fluff. Well done.

Perfect for me

Really love this app. I love that it stores everything as simple text files, and the two-way Dropbox sync works perfectly. I like to keep things simple and work with the same files on three different devices. This app supports that seamlessly. The markdown viewer and special keyboard support are also handy (though I wish the keyboard had the hash symbol too!).

Deletes notes without warning

Sync has serious problems. All my notes have been deleted without warning on three occasions. The third time all my other dropbox files also vanished. Unacceptable.

Dropbox Sync?

It doesnt sync deeper than one folder level. Of there are additional sub folders, the files in those folders may or may not sync. Has this problem forever. Otherwise it is fine. Please fix!

Speedy support

The Notesy support team was incredibly responsive. Within minutes of my question, I received a reply. Here was my question/problem: After upgrading to iOS7, Notesy opens at the bottom of the file, but I want it to open at the top. The support team gave me an easy work around (tap the title bar where the time is displayed to move to the top) and told me that they (and/or Apple) will work on a fix.
