Bear Reviews
This is how software should be designed.
Amazing piece inspiration for a developer like myself and an amazing tool for day-to-day. Thank you guys for good work.
Favorite Notes App
Bear is a great notes/planning/external brain for iOS. Highly reliable and easily modified to personal preference via tagging and markdown. Would be a five star for me if the handwriting/drawing space worked a little better. As it is, the handwriting insert is proportionally very narrow compared to the available page space and can be even narrower if it is inserted while sidebars are open. As a user who primarily brainstorms with Apple Pencil, this can make my workflow a little awkward.
Bear vs. Apple vs. Watch notes apps
I am doing a comparison first between Bear and Apple notes. They are pretty much feature comparable the notes has a couple of unique features that Bear does not such as the ability to collapse, headings or subheadings. But my real interest in Bear was looking for an Apple Watch app to create and view notes. Apple’s note app does not have an Apple Watch app, unfortunately. So it is between Bear and Drafts and Cheatsheet. Bear’s notes look the best on the Apple Watch, but is missing features in the Drafts and Cheatsheet apps, for example, the ability to search for a note, add tags or pin a note in the watch apparently, so that is very disappointing. Suggestions or comments from other users are welcome, as well of course as from the developer.
Great but so much untapped potential
Finally an app that has a solid UI and is just downright beautiful and intuitive. I know Bear has its roots as an IOS app, but I would love to see this grow from an app, to a full fledged productivity platform. As a former Evernote user who left their platform due to a growing lackluster experience, Bear could easily snatch up their market share who’s eager for a fresh experience. Give me a web and windows app, let me create teams and invite external contributors, bonus if there were exposed APIs. I genuinely feel Bear has everything going for it, it just needs to graduate from the app mindset and set its eyes on becoming a true productivity platform.
Best NOTE taking app for me
After auditioning most of the popular note taking apps, Bear is a clear winner! It’s not bloated and glitchy (Evernote), it’s not impossibly complicated (Notion), it’s not chaotic (Obsidion), and it’s not too simple that it lacks important features (Apple Notes). It’s also not outrageously expensive. Bear just does what it should do as a note taking app! It allows me to build a second brain with visual and intuitive organization and capable tech to capture what and how I want to capture. As someone who likes folders, I had to accept their tag system instead…but it works like folders well enough that I’m ok with that. All in all, this is the note taking app for me!
Search Needs Improvement
Bear does a great job allowing you to search within individual notes, which is helpful. However, the general search functionality is now disappointing. While it used to locate keywords inside notes during a general search, this feature no longer works. It’s frustrating. Without this, navigating through large amounts of content becomes tedious. Bear is still a solid app, but this regression in search functionality is a big letdown.
Ruined a perfect app
God I would give anything to have back the old Bear. She worked flawlessly…. now she’s only a shell of what she once was.
Sync doesn’t work
I’m using pro but if it doesn’t improve, I think I’m gonna cancel it…
Once again, returning to Bear
Bugs have been squashed, direct integrations improved, and still the best for organization, writing, and shortcuts automation.
