Customer Reviews
I have been searching for numerous notes app for my Workflow
After giving up on finding an all-in-one productivity app that combines my daily Workflow, I began searching for apps for each portion of that Workflow and in the notes area of my Workflow, I have finally found what I was working for. The amount of functions and functionality it provides as well as the ability to implement into a larger Workflow process had become indispensable in my day to day business. This app is extremely well written, highly customizable and the best I've found so far. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a wonderful and powerful note app that does so much more!
So easy to use, and gorgeous minimalist design
Bear is so much easier to use than Apple Notes, especially when it comes to formatting. It's also cleaner visually, and has sharp sense of visual design. There's only one thing the app lacks, which is a Web app so you can access your notes anywhere, even if it's not an Apple device, eg. a work or library computer. But the developers have said they're working on that, so I have few if any real complaints. It's one of those apps that both makes life easier and is a pleasure on the eyes as well.
I'm a writer- and it's all I need... Simply
Not only is it all I need as a writing tool, but it makes organizing my disheveled mind very easy and extremely effective.
Programming isn't a requirement to use this app- but it has a plethora of functions available if you happen to know even a little HTML. But it's easy for even the most programming challenged out there.
It's functionality is completely scalable. From the occasional grocery list writer- to hard core writers.
It's far above any other apps I have used for its purpose.
