Terrific Update

BobInCork on

Ireland

The new version is very impressive. I’m tempted to make it my principal notes app.

Bear 2.0 very unstable

Mpryahin on

Ireland

Pro subscription sync across devices doesn’t work, embedded images are not synchronized.

My notes app 🙂

Switched all of my note taking tasks over to Bear 2 and haven't looked back. My favourite features are the control over text appearance and the ability to preview notes without Markup showing. My main feture request would be the ability to permenently turn off the Markup code as I never want to see/use it. Thanks guys for a great app 🙏🏻

Love This App.

This app helps me to be more organised with my many thoughts and ideas for being creative. Highly recommend.

Amazing

FistoRoboto on

Genuinely the best notes app I have ever used. I never review apps, but after almost 2 years of daily use it seems only fair. This app is incredibly useful, well put together and intuitive.

Love this app!

I use Bear all the time to make notes of ideas and then they are available on my phone or my laptop. If I prepare posts for Instagram on my laptop I can still post them from my phone or visa versa. Same for emails that I want to get right before I finally commit them to send. When I learn how to do something new that’s a bit more complicated I add the instructions to Bear so next time I need to do that complicated thing I search Bear and it’s there! All I have to do is follow my own instructions! Thank you for making Bear!

Best note taking app on iOS and Mac

This is the best note taking app I’ve ever used, I love the tag system, it helps me to organise my notes in a more efficient way than folders! Whoever hasn’t tried Bear - you should give it a go!

SO GOOD

And the price for subscription is just right!

Very nice

Beautiful and practical app

One star due to false marketing.

"Bear and most of its core features are free to use on iPad, iPhone, and Mac. We want everyone to be able to write beautifully and organize notes with our unique tools." I am a Windows desktop user. Therefore, I cannot use your service. I am uninstalling from my iPhone. I would have used Bear otherwise.
