SnipNotes Notebook & Clipboard Reviews

Apparently This Takes only 5 Seconds

Seattle Rex

I like the app, but when I got a popup as I was creating a note asking me to rate the app, while telling me it only "takes 5 seconds", I was dismayed. Why, if I am getting ready to create a new note, would rating the app be my priority? Furthermore, would not the creator of a note-taking app be acutely aware of this? That I'm being spammed on my own device, by using an app that I payed for, is terrible. ESPECIALLY since they ignore my "no rating nag" settings. They are essentially saying "I don't care that you don't want these nags, I'm giving them to you anyway." Well, I cannot stop you from doing that. What I can do, however, is rate every app that does so, one star. If everyone else were to do the same, the wishes of the CUSTOMER will once again be a higher priority than the wishes of the business, which should always be the case. SPAM is SPAM, regardless of who does it, and as history has shown, until people make it clear that they've had enough, it will only get worse. There, I rated. Oh, and what do you know, you were right. It did only take 5 seconds! Nice app, though. Mind if I use it for me now, instead of as a platform to tell me how I can help you?

Glad I found it

I stumbled across SnipNotes in the App Store and am glad I took a chance on it. The app has worked smoothly with no crashes or bugs. My (very minor) issues with it are more because of how I would like it to work for me personally. It is fast and has not crashed on me once. There are plenty of things to like. The cross-device syncing works flawlessly - between iOS devices, I have not tried the Mac app. There are URL scheme options available. You can change the appearance via the option to change the app’s color theme. One of the main attractions is the feature to customize actions for each type of content that can be saved to SnipNotes. Which is almost anything. A couple things have bugged me. Sometimes the app will incorrectly identify what type of note you have created. Just because a date is in the text doesn’t mean the note should be categorized as an appointment. Although you can manually change the note type to plain text. Also, I wish exporting notes was a little more consistent. For example, if I export a note to Evernote please match the title and body from SnipNotes to the new Evernote item. SnipNotes ignores the title and only sends the body of the text. EDIT: Thanks for the update. I had no idea that the two Evernote actions would behave differently.

Misrepresented

I thought I was getting this app when it was a reduced fee. Weeks later, I clicked on it, but did not use it and I was charged $1.99 for it. Beware!

Watch settings don’t work.

Changing Apple Watch settings on iPhone app does nothing to the Apple Watch. Contacted dev. who wrote back saying the problem was on my end and my watch and phone weren’t communicating. Baloney. My watch and phone communicate fine. Nice try. Make an app that’s flawed and then blame the buyer. Odd how YOUR app is the only one with problems. Update: the nerve of this guy. It’s not my responsibility to help you fix your app; it’s YOUR responsibility to put out an app that works in the first place. Stop ripping people off and then blaming them for your mistakes. My watch is configured fine for everything else. Your app is causing the only problem. Go debug your app and stop blaming other people.

It’s ok

I find the app to be ok but would be 5 stars if it linked to the native notes app.

Almost Perfect, Simple And To The Point

JStengren

Does notes well. Came from Buno, looks like the devs have forgotten about their server, and this app is much better. Same core concept-simplicity and focus on minimal, high-value features. Easy to get notes in, good organization (folders metaphor) solid and UI/UX in general. Could do away with the Content Types feature as it misses the mark completely in notes with multiple type-triggers, but thankfully you can disable on a note by note basis. Too bad you can’t just switch if off. I’m not dinging a star for all this however, just nits for a very solid app. Kudos

SnipNotes - A mind jogger

Joch Taylor

I use this product to collect my thoughts, collect clipped articles, and other general note-taking. Since it can be cloud-based, I can recall everything from my MacBook Pro or any of my iPads. This makes it quite transparent for recalling everything. What don’t I like? I haven’t figured out how to alphabetize my notes! I have probably misconfigured something! Would I buy it again? YES! It has solved a problem for me. Oh, you can easily export any note for other uses. Very nice.

One of my all-time favorite apps

I love SnipNotes and use it on all my devices: iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple watch. Anything I need to capture (thoughts, web page URLs, phone numbers, addresses, etc.) goes into the SnipNotes inbox until I have time to act on it -- the badged icon is a great reminder -- and it’s immediately available everywhere. Notes with an address automatically get an embedded map and any note can be sent as a text message or an email with one click. Excellent Siri integration and the Apple Watch app is one of the best out there: You can quickly create and search for notes with dictation or save your current location. The developer is constantly making enhancements and provides great support.

Slow To Sync

Tundraman00

I like the app, however, it has always been slow to sync with my watch. For instance, I created a grocery list last night on jy phone. I go to the grocery store expecting to use my watch and not have to walk around looking at my phone and jeopardize dropping such an expensive phone. Well, just like many times before, the grocery list was still the last list I had created and had not yet updated. So, I finish my shopping using my phone and headed home. Once I got home, I opened the app on my my and to my surprise it had updated. A lot of good it did. Don't get me wrong, it's a good app. I just wish it would sync much faster. Other apps like calendar, contacts, financial, and etc. have no problems syncing almost instantaneously. If only Snip Notes would.

Exactly what I wanted

After moving to the Apple ecosystem I was somewhat disappointed by the lack of a good note app. The available apps were either pretty anemic or had subscription pricing which gets expensive over time. Then I came across SnipNotes and have been very pleased. It offers many features, syncs instantly across my MacBook, phone, and watch, and is well priced. Extra - the developer solicits feature requests, so I made one. He jumped right on it and promised that it will be in the next update in a couple weeks. Can't ask for more!
