Idea Store App Reviews

I am quite happy and pleased with the simplicity and ease of use of this app. While it seems intended for quickly capturing and grouping your ideas, I was pleasantly surprised to see that it also works as a light Kanban Board for organizing my tasks. I know its not designed for this, however, the nice card view makes it a great way to visualize my work. Looking forward to seeing how this app evolves. Keep up the great work. - policarpo

I found this app to be an excellent tool to post my favorite quotes that I see or hear. I can group them by categories as well. Although this app was meant to jot down ideas, it has so many other uses. =] 10 stars!

I use this as a way to collect ideas for Omnifocus. Also for collecting ideas for papers I write in school

Didnt realize how many great ideas I was having that I was not following up on because I was forgetting them. This simple program makes it so easy to gather bunches of ideas over time that I can combine, expand on, or weed out. There more I use it, the more valuable it seems to me. Thanks for a great program!

Would be great if tags and search were added.

Beautiful app... aesthetically & functionally. Didnt know I needed it until I started using it. I was cluttering my todo list with ideas, and it makes so much more sense to put them here first before they turn into tasks. If you are the type of person to write everything down, you need this app. The syncing is just about the quickest and smoothest Ive seen between my iPad and iPhone.

GREAT. Needs ability to (1) easily duplicate a note (rather than having to copy and paste note contents) AND (2) link a note to more than one category/list AND (3) rearrange notes manually within a given category/list ----I see now that #2 above IS available., which makes #1 above not super necessary but useful in some circumstances (like if want to build off an existing note but not lose the shorter original). Yay. PLEASE add ability to rearrange/reorder notes at will within a category. This is ESSENTIAL. 5 stars once that gets added and endless referrals. Thanks!!

Kudos It does perfectly what it sets out to do - to provide an undistracted environment in which to quickly jot down ideas as they occur, and return to them later, to flesh them out at leisure or just to classify them for easy retrieval. When I test-drive this app I find its action solid, simple, and efficient. Its salient feature is that you can get your thoughts down without delay or distraction. There are no frustrating roadblocks with boxes or menus. The date is automatically inserted. Later you just assign the note to whatever group or groups you want it to appear in. Then there is the significant advantage of instant synching on all your devices. In other words, this app puts at your fingertips everything you need to catch a thought on the fly AND nothing more than you need! - a clear case where more would definitely be less. Excellent for creative minds, or for people who have to think of many things at once. Drawbacks The appearance of this app stands in sharp contrast to its worth. It needs a finish more reflective of its value. For one thing, the color is washed out and insipid. For another, the background is so light it almost glares. Also the fonts are too small for so ample an environment as the iPad. Suggestions 1. Provide font control, especially in the important matter of size. 2. Allow theme control, and have some vibrant accents too, not just weak pastels, though these are beautiful with the right combinations and contrasts. 3. Have a few background options, like light blue or cream or pink or green (but please no garish scrolls or swirls - Okay, just one or two for the more exuberant!). Such adjustments would make this app not only useful but beautiful. It would also appeal to a wider range of buyers and users. I would like this app to look as good as it works, and to enjoy it every time I open it. Kevin Sent from my iPad

I like the simplicity of this app. I dont like, however, how long it takes to load and actually get to the screen where I can add a new note. Perhaps the devs could consider an option in the settings to allow us to set the screen we want app to open to?

You can always record your inspiration and creativity,very good! I like it!

Im in love with this app, I really am. I write down my thoughts a lot and the notes app is just way too messy. This is exactly what I was looking for-simple, calm colors and interface, and very organized.

Its WAY more expensive than its worth. It needs a few more updates before it is Wunderlist.

Love the simplicity and the quick and easy startup of this app. Would be nice to have a password lock screen option to keep nosey coworkers at bay while Im running around the office.

Its easy it write this app off as redundant in terms of its functionality but it is wonderfully elegant. Uncluttered. Also, you end up appreciating that there is value in putting your high level ideas in a place thats different from your other notes, day-to-day stuff, etc. Well done!

This is a very simple and well structured app. I need to organize my thoughts and also notes from articles and books when I am researching a topic Ill be writing about. Rather than rely on 3x5 cards or some other clunky way of keeping track of my notes, this app lets me easily label and categorize notes so I can easily refer back to them. Just perfect, thank you!

Can u please update it, so we can move up/down each entry to re-arrange the order? Thank you

Otherwise nice and clean app.

This is saving my sanity. For whatever reason its helped me separate IDEAS & POTENTIAL TASKS from ACTIONABLE tasks in a way that other even very similar tools havent. One feature thats really important is the simplicity of the Flagging for whether or not an idea has been read OR if youve read it, but you want to come back to it. Regarding the persons review about it not auto syncing (and maybe I dont understand it as well), it seems to me that it is syncing whenever I am doing any action like adding, editing, flagging, etc. However, I do agree with their comments regarding not being able to automatically sync the notes in plain text files to Dropbox so that they can be viewed and edited easily from any text editor on any device.

Im fairly new to i-everything, and certainly not techie, but Ive been using this app for about 6 months now and I absolutely love it. What prompted me to write was a few comments I saw about syncing. This app syncs instantly on both phone and pad when I open the app. Im clueless enough to not know exactly how that happens [no laughing!] but it does it without pushing any buttons. I just originally followed the setup instructions, and its been working like a charm ever since. The uses for this app are limitless, and it is the most organized place Ive found for jotting down those spur-of-the-moment sales, speech, creative, family and personal ideas, notes, etc that would otherwise be lost in the next 60-seconds. Thank you for this app. I just went to the developers web page to see if they had anything else, as I find this one so reliable and useful!

This app has a lot of potential. First off, the individual notes are really cool. But the user interface could take advantage of swiping gestures of the iPad. Instead of opening a note on a separate page, why not be able to swipe down to reveal the entire note. Also, there definitely should be a way to re-arrange notes, in addition to deleting them. And finally, lets have an option to change color background of the app. Thanks.
