What Users Say About Notebooks 

“I use your application on my ipod touch and absolutely love it, there is literally NOTHING else out that that does exactly what I want, which is maintain a database of text file notes that sync with my dropbox and have subfolders (or books). I could care less how much it costs, put it in the market for 50 bucks and ill still buy it, your application has become an absolute NECESSITY in my job and personal life. Im kinda OCD about this kinda stuff and am unwilling to use anything that uses a proprietary database or website...what happens if it loses support? Hence why I believe your application is the single best solution out there for notes...”

“I love your application because it keeps my notes in the most open format available....simple text files.”

“This program has single handedly transformed the iPad from a content reading toy into a highly useful work & productivity (information & content creating) tool.” (Michael)

“Just wanted to thank you for Notebooks.  It has been so solid, reliable, and enormously flexible for me that I have no interest in any other similar type app.  I use it as my main text editor and frequently use it to convert to PDF.  It has never failed me or let me down, and I appreciate your efforts and skill in making such a wonderful app.” (Steven)

“I think Notebooks is absolutely superb. You have really caught a need, and an excellent set of functionality which make this app truly useful in a wide range situations. It is one of my top applications which I use both for work and personal activities.” (John)

“I had been searching for a notes app that was easy to use, yet powerful enough to let me organize my "stuff" the way I think about organization. Needless to say, I burned through several apps that all turned out to be very disappointing. [...]

Then, I discovered Notebooks. WOW! It was everything I expected ... and more! When I got my iPad, the first app I bought for it was Notebooks. Then, a few months later, I bought an iPhone and Notebooks quickly became my most-used app.

I use Notebooks for everything from shopping lists (mostly on my iPhone) to writing fiction (on my iPad) ... and pretty much everything in between. I have SO many interests and projects going on, and Notebooks has become absolutely indispensable to keeping my ideas organized.

And, every time there's an upgrade, you add a bunch of great features ... I'm really impressed.”

“I use Notebooks in conjunction with a LiveScribe Echo Pen and a Fujitsu ScanSnap desktop scanner, all synced via Dropbox. This makes it possible to have virtually anything that is relevant to my work always available within Notebooks (and thus with me). Wouldn't be possible without Notebooks, no other app can handle this on both iPhone and iPad.” (Bernd)

“Notebooks  fast became one of my most used iPad apps. In addition to being a great notepad for writing - with live word count, choice of fonts, and Text Expander support - it's a fantastic way to keep track of various documents for projects at work and at home. Within the app, each notebook can contain written notes, pictures, and pretty much any file the iPad can view - Word .docs, Excel spreadsheets, PDFs, even web clippings.

Notebooks allows an iPad to become a true virtual three ring binder. It's also hierarchical, so you can nest notebooks. Syncing is flexible, and lets you use the back-end you prefer - WebDAV, iDisk or Dropbox. I really like that whatever stuff I put in to Notebooks I also have access to through other methods, unlike a proprietary notetaker/clipper. There's no wrapper file format, so if you stash a .doc in a notebook and sync to Dropbox, that .doc is there in a folder on Dropbox. I don't even use the task list functionality since I had a good working solution for that before I learned about Notebooks, but it's there if you want to integrate that with the writing and organizing functions.

In general, Notebooks is more flexible than we've come to expect from iOS apps. I've been using it for work for almost six months now, and find that the glow hasn't worn off. Well worth the cash and short time to learn. “ (RS)

“As an owner of over 13 notebook apps (including Circus Ponies Expensive one), I have to say your is the best.”

“Notebooks + Dropbox + Scrivener = Writer's Heaven !!”

“I have been a GTD user for years and have tried every todo, list maker, organizer out there. I am not kidding – I have been obsessive about it but all of them had a problem one way or there other. They were clumsy or had too many awkward steps for data entry, over reliance on tags, categories, priorities, lack of manual sorts, poor synching options etc.  They have so much GTD stuff they forgot the basics that it can be done with pencil and paper, but they never give you the options or simplicity or flexibility to do so. You are GTD in every way that makes it efficient and makes me efficient.  So Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!”

“Great reliable app with great support. - I have used Notebooks since November 2009 and this app is probably the most used app I have. Within Notebooks I have created hundreds of notes organized in 'books'. This has a nice simple lay out with the ability to create numerous books even within books and notes.  

I rely on using this app for important notes and it is imperative that my data is safe and I don't lose any at all. Notebooks is reliable and I have been impressed that the developer always gets back to me with any questions and suggestions I have.” - Paul (July 2010)

“I have downloaded Notebooks for iPad and I'm thrilled. Finally a great, easy to use note application. I love the easy integration with iDisk without the hassle of additional programs. It does everything I was looking for since quite some time and it's definitely worth the money.” - July 2010

“I have to say the iPhone and iPad apps are somewhat of a masterpiece.  Very clean, intuitive, powerful, and elegant.  Very nice job.” - (June 2010)

“I just wanted to let you know that after 4 days with Notebooks, it has become one of the most productive tools in my arsenal.  Thank you.”

“Notebooks is the first app that has let me do serious, integrated work on the iPad.  I'd love RTF with bullets, fonts and all of that, but even without it, the software is a winner. “

“I use this app everyday and it has seriously changed my life. No exaggeration. I love it!”

"Notebooks is the most useful app I have on my iPhone."

"Your program is for me the best in it's category"

"Strangely, before the iPhone and Notebooks, I never would have even considered writing on a phone."

“I'm really enthusiastic about Notebooks. I have been working with it for a few days and I'm already using it for my GTD-system, work-notes, private stuff, etc. I think my whole life will be in it soon.”

"I have about 300 text files of about 30-40k each in about 50 folders.  I periodically edit one or two of them, sometimes on the iPhone, sometimes on my Mac.  When I sync, changes are accurately copied in the correct direction in about 5 seconds.  This is so much better than most iPhone apps."

“Being an industry contractor I need to stay on top of the goings-on of over 50 companies. Notebooks, with its editable groups, choice of books or tasks, clickable links, calendar reminders etc has meant that I don't have to duplicate information in separate apps. For my situation it is the perfect combination of contacts, calendar and notes available and for eight bucks its a bargain. Well done.” - Andrew

“I want to thank you so much for the wonderful App, which is so much better than the dozen other note Apps I tried on my iPhone. It is sophisticated, in an unassuming way, so that you find yourself greatly rewarded and being productive without sacrificing time/effort to the App.

I cannot tell you how much productivity I have gained, by staying with your App, learning it thoroughly, and growing with it also.  I am having a huge amount of fun, I use it constantly, more than the phone on my iPhone in fact.” - Craig, Australia

"Ich möchte Ihnen an dieser Stelle sagen, dass Notebooks für mich die beste App unter den Notizbüchern ist. Ich möchte es nicht mehr missen, da es mich wieder zum Schreiben inspiriert hat!"

“Man würde für dieses Programm zu Fuss auf den höchsten Berg steigen.”
