Ugh. We're 48 hours into Day One's sync having crashed and burned. The villagers are out with pitchforks on Twitter, needling the devs about having ripped out iCloud/Dropbox sync.
I admit it's pretty...
FYI I looked into this a bit more but forgot to write about it. Turns out Degoo is a P2P backup solution, it takes slices of your computer's time for processing and older, now-deleted reviews claimed ...

Atomic Scribbler now free

Dev is pretty in the app blog about the app not being particularly popular, and being seen as a me-too product. So I wish them well with the new business model.
But I can't help but feel the app is s...
Just logged in from my Github account, downloaded the latest beta. It's clean, fast, limited. Hard to switch from one pane to the other, or to see which pane has focus. Interesting beta, but I'm not s...
Latency is normally negligible in real-world use, but it can be slightly noticeable with some more fully-featured (and/or more poorly-coded) drawing apps.

PDF expert is selling for 4$
5/2/2018
Yup. I looked over these apps last week and picked up PDF Expert only, for $9 total.
The one killer, must-have app in that list is Default Folder X, which I've used, jeez, for at least a decade. It's...

Looking through the suggestions in this 2-yr-old thread I looked at the link for SmartDown and was intrigued to see it had shut down and apparently had become the basis for the Windows version of IA W...

Off Topic: Which keyboard to buy?
4/22/2018
Amongst my Macs and iPads I use three keyboards - Apple's wired extended keyboard with numeric keypad, Apple's standard wireless keyboard, and a Das Keyboard mechanical keyboard. Pretty happy with all...
The future of OneNote
4/22/2018
Evernote operates on an "everything in a notebook" model, while Google utilizes Drive and Keep and Docs to provide a more traditional files/folders framework. Google changed its priorities from pushin...

Drafts 5 for iOS goes subscription
4/21/2018
I’m all for subscription pricing, for a number of reasons. For devs, there's no longer any need to hold off on update features on the old sales model (where they’re stockpiling new feature...
Eh. I entered 'Are there alien intelligences secretly watching us?' wanting to see how many woo-woo citations I'd get. Of the top 5 results one was off-topic completely, three were science-oriented hi...
The future of OneNote

(Oh, I was using the Mac app for input.)
The future of OneNote
4/20/2018
I tried using OneNote when I was furniture shopping - importing room/wall dimensions, pics, screenshots.
God, was it dog slow!
It synced to iOS and the mobile app was acceptable but nothing more.

iThoughts gets an outline view
4/18/2018
Mindnode's text outline option came out for the Mac in 2015 with v.2, and the iOS 'list view' (with checkboxes) arrived with v.5 late last year, I think (could be wrong).
Like iThoughts, Mindnode/iOS...
The free version of Todoist does two-way sync with Google Calendar too. (That's the only reason I used the app [for a while].)

Drafts 5 for iOS goes subscription

I 'preordered' - a slightly strange thing, since it's a free download, so that just means it will auto-download to my iPhone on tomorrow. (A week or so ago the dev asked on Twitter whether he should s...

Tree was unique and badly missed. The developer, Kazuhiro Kawana, dropped off the map.

TaskPaper iOS apps

Wow, that's pretty cool. Thanks. I always bypassed Editorial on iOS - for years I was using Notey, until it became extremely clear that the dev had abandoned it, then I tried a few apps like Notes and...
