Yojimbo for iPad

The iPad application simply won't find it's Mac counterpart. A quick search on google revealed that this is a pretty wide spread issue, returning many hits. It is useless as it is. Even though I type in the code for WiFi pairing correctly, and being on the same WiFi connection on both parts, and the program acknowledges it. It just won't pair. It has nothing to do with the problem I just noted, but Yojimbo for iPad is a visualizer. You can't write on it. Even if by some work of magic it happens to work for you and sync, you won't be able to write to it, which renders its "quick-note-taking" abilities pointless. You can see your notes, just not write new ones. This point alone would have me give up the purchase, had I known. Not recommended.

Several years ago Apple stopped supporting Bento. Yojimbo should have stepped up to replace it. It still requires Yojimbo on a Mac (which I no longer have). This would be a great iPad app, instead it’s just a client to the app. I’d love to have BBEdit on my iPad, it’s not here either. I first used BBEdit on a G4 iBook more than a decade ago, and last used it two years ago when my iPad Pro replaced my MBP. Really need Yojimbo and BBEdit, but have no way to use them.

This app, when it once worked, had little value because all the files were read only. Now it doesn’t sync anymore, so it is even more useless. Don’t buy it. Even if you ever get it working, it still would not help you. Forget this (cr)ap.

Sync requires a paid subscription and Bare Bones hasn't been updating Yojimbo in years. Once upon a time one of my favorite apps. Now I've switched to other solutions like a combination of 1Password and Evernote. BBEdit and TextWrangler are still great in my opinion, but Yojimbo is no longer worth buying or using.

Unlike some, I had no problem syncing with my iPad Pro. Unfortunately, this is a read only app, which makes it of very limited use for me. It really is too bad because I like the application on the Mac. I find myself having to use Evernote instead simply because Evernote allows me to update date on my iPad.

See title.

Support is useless. Do not buy!

I have both the OS X version and the iOS version and so far both work flawlessly. The pairing worked the first time and I'm now getting data easily from my Mac. I especially like the "Print PDF to Yojimbo" capability. It makes filing emails effortless and then being able to access them on my iPad makes for a beautiful system. The "all caps" review saying not to buy because it will never pair is obviously incorrect. Some people just can't admit when they need help, I guess... How very unfortunate that their comments might stop someone from getting a great piece of software.

this app will never pair with your mac. Support is worthless. The Mac app is fine, i use that all the time.

I depend on this app every day. My only request is that the developer make an iPhone version. I’d be willing to pay for this, make it happen!
