I can update my notebooks from anywhere so quickly with this app- really helpful and a big time saver for anyone who does research or keeps a lab notebook!

Tried version 3.0.1, it happened 2 times that I still signed in, created a plain text, typed into it, saved it and although the text was visible for a while during stepping into a different directory and returning, after a while my text switched back to an earlier saved version, so lost most of that I typed. What can I do against this? I like the app otherwise, I have one wish only: it would be nice to be able to select and insert multiple images in the same time. Note: text formatting option menu is not available later on the computer if the text object was created by the mobile app.

Problems with new iPhones

With the newer iPhones with the notch, the navigation at the top of the page is cut off and really difficult to use

Doesn’t let you upload photos

Only seen this used in lab classes. It’s buggy and not very user friendly

No Apple Pencil support

The Apple Pencil (and Microsoft surface stylus, for that matter) has been available for over 4 years and lab archives still doesn’t support active hand written note taking. The “sketch” feature is, frankly, embarrassing.

LabArchives is the premier electronic lab notebook, but this app is a travesty

The web browser interface to LabArchives is a superb product. Since I switched from writing in a paper lab notebook to using LabArchives, which is supplied to our research institute, I have had improved productivity and organization in my laboratory data. I’m a molecular biologist and molecular geneticist. If you’re still using a paper notebook, you’re missing out. On the other hand, this iOS app implementation is terrible. It doesn’t display entries correctly and the rich text editor just doesn’t work. I haven’t even tried uploading images or attachments. There’s potential here for a great way to access data, but this app just isn’t it.

App needs improvement.

The website is great, but the app can definitely use some improvements. -The app doesn’t work with the apple keyboard made for the newer iPads. For example, the arrow keys don’t work with the app. - Can’t customize the font on rich text through the app. Some of the options like subscripts or color change are not available. Also special characters are not available - Copy & paste images from the iPad to the app work, but then when returning to edit more, the images are no longer available. - Can’t edit and customize tables made on rich text. - Can’t move entries up and down with the app. -Notification symbol (for new comments or context) doesn’t disappear even after dismissing them or changing preferences.

Can be very powerful tool if improved in some aspects

The app is general very good and handy, but there are some problems I found could use some improvement: The notes cannot be previewed, have to tap into the edit mode of the section to see the content. Need to sign in every time I open the app. Could add some more convenient login options such as short password, gestures or even fingerprint if possible.

The worst possible way to store lab notes

Please make your platform more like OneNote by Microsoft. I’m required to use this backwards program by my institution. Honestly, I feel like I’m working on a Windows 98 while using your platform. Everything should change. Everything.
