Great app, but…

123CNS on

I was very happy with this app, it is very well organised and I can even edit PDFs in here. But I once did an update and two of the PDFs I had there disappeared completely, there’s just a blank square space and all the information I had in them are gone. I would like to get them back because they’re important but I don’t know how. I tried but nothing worked.

I’m lost - Bear catched me!

I was bit nervous during migrating from Apple Notes to Bear. Bit scared if it is the right step to migrate my second brain. I was choosing between few apps and Bear won. And you know what? It worth! Bear is super strong app, easy to use and it took me literally few minutes to lear how to use. I appreciate Apole Watch app. It helps me catch the ideas during the day. Good job boys & thank you!

Contrast and size

ymu987 on

Just downloaded it: first impression is the UI has very bad contrast, light grey on white,have found no way to change it and the same with font size. Users with glasses will not be comfortable. It ignores iPhone settings. Will delete it because using it strains my eyes.

App Updates

No updates to this subscription based app for 10 months. Are you guys still working on Bear? Feature updates?

Excellent way to organize notes

chytrik on

I can dynamically create a structure while creating notes. No more running around wondering where and how to make folders and sub-folders. Please keep the approach smooth and simple. I'm looking forward to the big update, I saw Panda, and I hope that the speed and excellent way of writing notes will still be the best. Thanks.

Almost the best

kubasworld on

I’ve been writing a review on Bear 4 years ago and now came back to it. I can see an improvement with the price for subscription that is now much more relevant. The design is great. I love it! I love markdown and how the app is easy and user friendly. You have got one more star from me. What I’m missing is creating a structure. Sure, I can make sub hashtags and create a category and subcategories by that for some tasks but I’d like to see let’s say containers - similar to areas in Things 3. Furthermore, I’d love to see ability to order hashtags manually, not only alphabetically. Or by notes count (how is that useful anyway?). Let us order manually or even better, give us an option to set note order within each hashtag, or sub-hashtags separately. Some manually, some alphabetically.
