Notesy for Dropbox App Reviews

74 add

It works. Needs some polish.

App works well, but could use some UI improvements. Time stamps are wrong (time zone issue?). No pull-to-refresh so it doesnt "feel" like an iOS app. Ability to specify .md or .txt on a per-file basis (or automagically based on presence of Markdown code) when saving would be nice.

Simply works

I got this to sync my nvALT documents with my phone. Works perfectly. No problems. 100% satisfied with the app.

great app I love it!

waaaay better than apples "Notes" app. got this to get out of apples not so brilliant idea of using yellow text on white background. This Notesy app is well crafted and extremely useful. Highly recommend it! Get it.

Still no update for iPhone 6?

Why not?

Excellent

I have had no issues with this app. Its been working perfectly since I started using it a year ago. For me, stability is most important. Syncing is rock-solid via Dropbox.

Awesome!

Its very simple yet very deep, syncs without fail, and (unlike so many apps) doesnt sacrifice function for form. Its one of the best apps Ive used, and I use it all the time. Near-perfect.

Excellent update

Ive been using this to access my NValt files via Dropbox for years now and its rock solid. The new update adds support for my 6 Plus, and its now perfect. Highly recommended.

Rockstar!

Notesy has the perfect amount of configurability and a clean, simple interface. Syncing has been rock solid since I switched over from PlainText 2. Latest update expands the interface for iPhone 6 and 6+.

Thanks for the great update

I have used Notesy for a few years now. It is essential to my workflow for all kinds of note taking: projects notes, clients info, research, software details, etc. It integrates seamlessly with Notational Velocity (and nvALT) both in Dropbox syncing and file structure/format. I use the Markdown support, previewing of notes, and exporting to other apps. The searching works well and is fairly quick (almost real-time) even though I have quite a volume of notes. Thanks to the dev/team for showing Notesy some love by finally giving us this great update. Now my notes look perfect on my larger iOS devices like the iPhone 6 plus.

solid app; the best Dropbox text file syncing

In an app like this, this is the MOST important feature: The syncing is sure and solid, every time. Never lost a file. If you are looking to have notes sync between your iOS devices, Mac or even Windows via Dropbox, this is the app to get. Universal, too.

Good, but synch could be better

I find notesy simple and easy to use. It works well for off-line use (except for a synchronization issue described below) and is convenient for cross-platform use. Notesy stores notes as files (text, pdf and similar) in a hierarchy of folders in DropBox. Thus it is easy to use on any platform and data import and cross-platform support couldnt be easier. By using DropBox you avoid the need to trust the app company’s private hosting service or pay an annual fee. It has some limitations, however: - Notesy only synchronizes the folder you are in. This means it is not reliable for offline use -- your notes may be outdated. I have also found that synch speed is sometimes slow; fortunately Notesy is usable while it is synchronizing. - Notesy does not support renaming or moving notes. You can use DropBox, but its clumsy, especially since you need to run Notesy and go into the appropraite folders for it to pick up your changes. - Notesy has no dedicated desktop clients, but this is only a minor concern; the notes are quite accessible on a desktop without one.

No substitute

I use Notesy to read and search a 1500 file poetry collection. Highlights: - The only app Ive found that shows a useful 1-4 line preview of the file contents. Great after a search. - Flexible search options (words in any order, phrase, and regex) - Fast, stable sync. - Great markdown support. Its easy to mail formatted poems to friends. --- Keep up the good work!

my go-to plain text editor

Notesy has been consistent and reliable in syncing between iPhone and iPad. It syncs with well with nvALT for use on Mac desktop, via Dropbox. nvALT does not seem to support folders syncing, but workarounds are simple: Notesys search function of file names and contents is powerful, and I name Notesy files in a way that makes it easy to find what Im looking for.

I love this app!

i have been using this app for some time now, and i love it! I have written for support and got answers. This application is fully Voice Over accessible which is great. I found this app through the Apple Vis web site for blind and visually impaired phone users, and was recommended. It does sync once you are connected to the net like it says it should. I wrote underground, and was able to sync once I was ground level again. Great job!
