Notesy for Dropbox App Reviews

What happened??

Ive been a long time fan of Notesy and its been my favorite app, but this last update is really screwy. I mean, whoa... Every time I want to edit a line of text, the text cursor goes to the beginning of the line instead of the end. Another thing is that when Im trying to make a list and Im adding something to a line that end with a hyphen, the text cursor just disappears all together. Also, if I want to paste or do "select all", the menu for that wont pop up unless I highlight some text first. And another thing, every time I open a file it goes to the bottom of the page and if I scroll up too fast, I get sent to the bottom again. Lastly, I miss the small scroll bar. These problems have been driving me crazy, and theyre super annoying. Its so depressing that I can no longer use this app like I used too... :(

Great app is back. Lots fixed in this version

Seems like all the issues from the last version are fixed. Thanks! This app is a great app for taking and managing notes. Just enough features to make it extremely useful but not overly complicated. The Dropbox connection is fantastic. Keeps all my notes in perfect sync across my desktop, iPhone and iPad. Search is fast and navigation is a breeze. Would love to see feature added to be able to search within a note and see highlighted hits.

Love Notesy

Great design and very good Dropbox integration.

Excellent - By far the best Dropbox supported note taking app

I bought the app a couple of days ago, and am very pleased with the purchase. It is an excellent companion to a desktop app like nvALT. I was pleased to see that it synced all my notes and organised them by date-modified. The by-directional automatic sync with Dropbox is precisely what I have been looking for in a note taking app. The software is very sophisticated. Well worth the buy. Cheers Notesy!

Favorite Plain Text Editor

I’ve tried a bunch and keep coming back to Notesy. Love it. These developers deserve to earn a living like the rest of us, so I see my small contribution as a direct way to continue to put food on their tables and I’m happy to be supporting QUALITY software regardless of the price.

Some sync issues.

Notesy is the app I use for accessing text notes that arent longform in nature. Ive had a couple sync issues since the last update for certain folders - not sure why it works with some files but not others. Issues resolved themselves when I tried again a couple hours later. Still no support for Markdown Extra or other Markdown footnotes processing.

Pretty good

Notesy is a good plain text file editor that hooks into Dropbox. The interface leaves a little to be desired, but it all works.

exactly what I wanted

this app is perfect. just what I wanted, nothing more nothing less. the ability to password was a welcome bonus. love this app, great job guys!

Exactly what I was looking for

Works perfectly. If sync could be faster that would be great, otherwise five stars.

Best Note Taking App Around

Notesy has had a spot on the first page of my iPhone and iPad for as long as I can remember. It’s the iOS analog to NVAlt on the Mac. It loads up hundreds of notes quickly and editing notes is a breeze.

Enormously useful

Fabulous for quick texts and notes, which seamlessly link to Dropbox for storage and transfer to other devices.

My Go-To Dropbox Text Editor

This is one of my favorite Dropbox text editors on iOS. It is very responsive and syncs so much quicker and better than any other app Ive used.

Search feature

Search feature does not work like it could. U have to type the exact Title of the note u r trying to find. Also why does the app put lower case hyphens in the Titles ?

Fantastic App! Works flawlessly!

This app is phenomenal. It works exactly as described as the auto-dropbox sync is flawless. A real winner of an app. My only suggestion, consider updating the icon and app interface colors/design. The functionally is perfect, but it looks like a really dated application. A more modern look would be a great change. It just works, buy it!

Perfection in its simplicity

Simple enough to just let you write... with just enough features to keep you well organized. Would love to see the ability to adjust line height (or make the default a bit more open).

Best note app

My favorite note storing app

The best

Keep coming back to this one. Just so quick and functional. Love that folders are at the top.

Great Support

Had a fantastic support experience with the developer (on a holiday weekend no less). Makes a great app even better.

Good, but still buggy

This has the makings of excellent app, but it suffers from a poor attention to detail and lack of testing. - Scrolling is still flawed. When I try to scroll down through a long note the position often resets to near the top of the note. - Selecting a block of text down to the bottom of a file is almost impossible. The selection contents either loop and repeat indefinitely, never getting to the end, or the selection truncates itself while Im trying to extend it. - Deleting several lines causes the cursor to disappear off the top of the page view. The page view should scroll with it so I can see what Im deleting. - Files open with the first three lines obscured by the navigation bar. - Files often end up in conflict due to real world network connections with no sign of which version was the most recent one. - Request: An option to save the last viewing position in each file instead of automatically scrolling down to the bottom after every edit. User interface polish matters, and its embarrassing that Notesy gets so much of it wrong.

Best note app for iOS!

Notesy is by far the best note app for iOS. Its color scheme is so easy on the eyes with the black on gray. The sync with Dropbox feature is awesome too, however, maybe one day theyll allow you to sync it elsewhere (eg; Box, iCloud) but thats just my personal opinion. I highly recommend this app for any students who take notes, writers, or just people that want to have access to all their ideas or saved information in their pocket.
