"...a true notepad experience that may help you make a clean break from the pencil-and-paper era." -New York Times.
Users describe Mental Note as "the only notepad app... that's actually better than, and as simple as, a pen and paper." It's "the future of note taking", and "a big sketchpad... [to] free-associate and put stuff down in any format". Mental Note for iPad brings the future closer with an even bigger sketchpad for you to capture your ideas on.
Turn your iPad into a digital notepad. Combine pictures, voice recordings, drawings and text - all on the same page, in any order you choose.
An idea... a flash - a moment of genius. When a thought hits, and you have to remember it, why limit how you record it? The more context and sensory details you can capture, the clearer the idea can be put down. Use pictures, audio, sketching and text together on the same page... a digital page that can be shared with anyone.
Mental Note allows you to capture ideas as they happen: use pictures, dictate, add text, sketch on anything. Ideas clarified. Creativity captured.

Significant lag in notes with lots of text
I use this app all the time. It's a place where all the little odds & ends and tidbits of info get stashed. I notice that when a note gets a lot of text (say 1,400+ words), there is a noticable lag for any action in that note (say...typing, or moving around the note using arrow keys on a keyboard).
This does not effect other notes in the app. So if one note has 1,500 words...noticable lag, but typing in another note that has only 100 words, works just fine.
There are other issues with this app, but this is the one that's currently bugging me. However, it *still* is my go to note app.
Disappointed! FURIOUS!
Great if you don’t want to forward or export your notes, audio / images.
It appears that there are tremendous technical support issues. Mental Note gives a false impression that the notes get sent, no error messages to the contrary return message and find that 2 months after emailing notes to clients that they were lost in space. I only discovered this because my new boss kept saying he didn’t get the notes which means my accounts from the convention and new clients didn’t either. When uploading to Drop Box it doesn’t keep any format and randomly you get 60 audio messages in your folder which means it’s completely useless. I thought I was being so efficient by sending notes to my accounts within minutes of them leaving the convention showroom from when they toured. No way to contact this Mental Note company, settings doesn’t allow you to troubleshoot.
Pheww!!
This app helped me out so much this semester! If your in college I recommend this app to you. P.S. if you want to write in detail zoom in and write. Also if your looking to zoom in an image, screen shoot it, crop it in the regular photo app that comes with your iPad and just simply place the image in the note. You can write on it it's so easy.
Terrible app
Pl do not waste money on this app, I did and it does not work at all, It's very frustrating, do not not buy this
Excellent lab notebook is getting better and better
This program is a real bargain considering all of the features and capabilities. Pictures, annotations, and notes are critical to documenting lab experiments. And now with the time stamp feature, we can have a chronology of every step in our experiments.
Has Potential - Possibly Only Note-taking App with GPS Locations
Nice app. I'm mostly happy with the program. I LOVE that it embeds GPS and city/state data in my notes so I can search my library by location.
Unfortunately more than half of the time I take a picture from inside the app, it crashes and goes back to the home screen. Please fix this bug.
I wish there were easier ways to scroll while handwriting notes and switching options while taking notes.
Recommended but could be better.
Flawed
iCloud syncing doesn't work. Please fix this. When you go to a second device it just hangs trying to import the sync data.
For class
If you are using this app for class not good, sometimes the recording will delete on you.
Great app, absolutely, but...
This is a great iPad app, almost exceptional, but for some reason they can't figure out how to make it synch automatically with another iPad,or a mini iPad. You have to do a separate Restore--in other words, it's an unnecessary pain in the neck. Other apps have a seamless synch. If this one did, it would be the #1 app out there.
Not good
Update is very rare. And u will find somthing which say express speaking.
