Bear Reviews

Bunch of idols!

Mature stature on

New Zealand

Amazing work to the authors truly an a grade application

Pro is a scam, won’t even sync

fagoit on

New Zealand

I bought pro and it won’t even sync my notes once I got a new phone, I even backed up the sync I want a refund

A happy subscriber

I love Bear. I recommend it to my friends and coworkers, and I love using it. It has been the app that I most feel at home in for taking quick typed notes. Thank you!

A good app marred by a lazy development team

Mitch Olson on

New Zealand

A really good app, especially when it was first released but for some reason the dev team behind have been mostly AWOL for a while.

Just what I needed

christinanz on

New Zealand

Beautiful, functional, and reliable. The only improvement I can think of is being able to change the colour of text or highlighting within notes.

Disappointing

Synecdokey on

New Zealand

No search within your notes, no way to automate back links, and a stark lack of new features for a while now means it lost its edge compared to more modern offers, its a shame really.

Great Notes App

JAB-nz on

New Zealand

This app has everything I need to take great notes. The depth is amazing and I have only scratched the surface.

Great but...

DoopLeRey on

New Zealand

Oh man this is a fantastic app. I use this (via Bear pro) for all of my notes, drafts, lists, todos... it’s extremely versatile but not cluttered and complex. But... the lack of table support does become frustrating fast, and there’s no option to hide the markdown syntax. This is first and foremost a markdown editor, but considering how many users have asked for this feature (on the Bear subreddit) it’s become a frustrating annoyance. (E.g., it would be much nicer to just read rich text when proofing blog posts) If you’re comfortable making iOS shortcuts, you can quickly develop some impressibe workflows with the shortcut integration in Bear. That, along with integration of a x-callback-url scheme makes Bear a damn powerful notes app. Also, keep in mind that the Bear dev team is small (but still extremely helpful!), so bugs may take longer than usual to get fixed. With the upcoming web editor and table support I’d probably give Bear a 5/5, but for now it’s a 4. :)

I’m a writer now!

This has really sold me, I use it mostly for not taking and I will have it in in splitscreen with my powerpoints and take notes with ease, I love it

Great note taking app

JanusLucky on

New Zealand

Finally the Bear gives a good hug for all who love note taking. The new version is a great release and the app fulfills its promises. The synch works brilliantly and the Apple Watch works nicely with Bear, too. I can recommend this beautiful app for all.
