Excellent App - Needs work on its Appearance
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.
