Add photo function is trash
As Noteshelf has “improved,” it’s functionality has turned to garbage. I’m sooooo glad I kept my copy of Noteshelf Version 1, that’s right, ONE as well as all of my notebooks on it. It’s far better than the “improvements” made. It’s unfortunate that a near-perfect app has turned into a wasteland. An example, add a photo to a page in NS ver. 1 takes 2 steps. In the new and improved takes at least 5 with constant roaming and tapping. Infuriating.
Good App but…
I have been using this app for the last 4 years and truly love it. It contains all my clients’ files. I bought a second Apple iPad for my assistant to work on the same files and share with me. Unfortunately, it is impossible to share. I am disappointed. I am still in full control of the files while I could use the much needed help. Let me know if there is a way to share without having someone else having access to my cloud personal files.
App won’t open. All my notes are gone!
Tap the app and it’s loading forever. Was able to open it once. Only found all my notes are gone.
Doc Really like but notebooks and papers not downloading
Was Very useful to organize and had been getting better. Now Having problem opening some old books. Admittedly I use it extensively. Seems not to be downloading from the cloud I when it does it seems to be doing so slowly.
البرنامج لا يعمل
البرنامج لا يعمل تماما مع اللغة العربية عند كتابة موضوع طويل بالضغط على آيكون الكتابة T ، وبعد تخزينها والصفحة لا تظهر كاملة وتظهر مقطوعة من الأعلى والأسفل ، وعند مشاركتها مع المفكرة note لا ينتقل الموضوع الذي كتبته ، والتطبيق فعلا سيء جدا عند استعماله ، ودعايته أكبر من حجمه ولا يستحق حتى نجمة واحدة
Getting Frustrated with an App that I have LOVED for years
Recently, my Noteshelf 2 files randomly stopped opening on my iPad. I can get the option list but when I click on “Open”, nothing happens. I sent an email about it, but have not heard a response. I expected to migrate to Noteshelf 3 when it came out, but I do not want to do it because this program suddenly stopped working for all my files. I can get around it (sometimes) by duplicating it and then the duplicate copy opens. But, really? Up until this issue starting happening (began a few months ago and has gotten steadily worse), this was my FAVORITE note-taking app. Please fix this or just tell us there is no more support for it. Then I will have to decide: should I stay or should i go?
Update: They DID respond, it went to my junk mail. I am now trying to get the problem fixed. If it gets fixed, this will become a five star rating because in all other ways this app is the best.
Great app been using for years
I started out with Noteshelf one and upgraded to 2 have loved it. It is so easy to use but what I have appreciated most especially in the past 3 days is the developers commitment to these apps. I had a an issue with my file not opening and they resolved it. Thank you for your hard work and dedication to this app
Freezes frequently, unsable
This app freezes all the time. Often when i am in meetings and need to pull up my notes. I am done with it. Will be looking for alternatives.
It’s ok
Whenever I try to import another photo and try to select more photos, it gives me more stress than school
