Minor bugs, but an evernote killer
This product has a big future ahead of it and does a lot of organizational things that Evernote does WRONG.
Honestly, the way that the notebooks and notes are logically organized makes perfect sense for collecting thoughts and notes and is only elevated by how easy it is to move notes around (grouping them, changing notebooks) and viewing them (swipe gestures on iPhone, stacking notes visually in groups, pinching and collapsing them on iPhone).
Allowing people to quickly change your notebook image makes it feel very personalized which is what people always want when writing in real physical notebooks. The binding band on the notebook is a great stylistic touch that makes it feel more real.
Images can be attached in a note OR as it’s own note that acts AS AN IMAGE – it's a brilliant way to separate the two different types of notes.
Evernote overcomplicates their interface and product experience and additionally has an ugly old feeling UI (they are slowly moving away from this in the browser and on mobile devices). Zoho does a great job of making a very simple minimal UI that helps you focus on your content and doesn’t overload you with annoying content / advertising / features you don’t need.
Keep this minimalist, ease of organization and customization, device-consistent based approach going – this app is a winner.
Needs more polish
I like the visual refinement, picking covers, font choices. But the syncing has flaws (makes two notebooks, only one with a note in it), and it’s frustrating you cannot simply copy a note and edit the copy (for example, each week I make a Work List note with that week’s to dos; at the end of the week, anything I didn’t get done, I want to move to the next week’s list note. No simple way to do it, short of MOVE the note to another notebook, edit it there, then move it back.) I also need nested lists, and the ability to see list cards as lists, not just thumbnail view which looks like crap.
The user interactions are executed in a mish-mash of mechanisms. Sometimes, it’s a gesture. Sometimes, you have to use a pull down menu (Actions. Isn’t everything an “action”)?
I really want this app to work because I don’t want to pay Evernote to sync across more than 2 devices, and I like the visual simplicity, but it’s not quite there yet. Keep working on it Zoho.
Very pleasant app! Lots of potential!
This is a very aesthetically pleasing app and is pure and simple. I love it. Honestly, the only three features that Google Keep has over this app(which I hope they implement in this app) are the ability to write text in notes that have pictures or audio, just like the media is an addition inside of a text note, the ability to turn a return separated list of test into a checklist, and the ability to set date/time reminders or reminders based on location.
But, for a new app, this shows lots of promise. The syncing between a phone and Mac is nearly instant. I would suggest calendar integration of some kind as well.
