Pear Note

I use the program often with wonderful results. Hope the developer will incorporate Apple Pencil with the program.

Please update so that I can continue to use this great app. Updated Sept 30th Thank you for updating to be compatible to iOS 11.

Pear Note is my go to note taking app. My chief complaint is that the developers are slow to incorporate updates. What I like best is the ability to upload an outline prior to meeting. Then I can mark each speaker then immediately return during editing.

I have important info on this app- need iOS 11 update ASAP!

Lazy developers are inattentive to improvement suggestions and the apps for mobile are all but useless. When they finally do update the software it introduces MORE bugs, not less. Use Evernote or something else. These clowns are just reaping the app sales at this point for this antiquated piece of junk.

App is abandoned and of little use now. Falling way behind in features and compatibility.

I'm a little sore about this. The developer seems to think that no serious work needs to be done on this app since it was completed somewhere around iOS 4. It's a niche app, so it's good enough, I guess. I feel like I didn't get the value I was expecting.

This application along with its desktop counterpart have become my primary note taking software. As a Physican Assistant student we have a lot of classes and a lot of notes. The ability to audio record, keep track of slide changes, and have plenty of space for note taking is excellent for my note taking style. The best feature is being able to listen to what was said when I typed a note, really good for clarification, or if I wasn't sure of what I heard. The only improvement I wish this software had was the ability to annotate slides. Other than that I feel it is a much better method of note taking than notability or Evernote.

- Unable to record video in iPad version - A few improvements and updates. - Impossible to comment in PDFs - Sync just with dropbox or icloud, no local sync like webdav or FTP (so, if you will use the software for the purpose it was created for, you will notice that is impossible to sync in the cloud because you will use too much space) - When you open the pdf in full screen you will see a big border in the screen and you cannot do a zoom. Resuming, the iPad version is incomplete and as you can see the development of this software has stopped, and it will never be better.

I have been using Pear Note on a weekly basis for a couple of years now. It is a great little program and helps tremendously when you are taking notes at technical meetings where lots of people are talking at once and you need to capture what everyone says. But, in the last few months, I have had nothing but problems with the app crashing during audio playback. I have tried to work with their tech support to resolve the problem but, none of their fixes have resolved the crashes. I think it may be incompatible with the current iOS. I will probably be forced to find a new note taking app because the crashes are just too frequent for the app to be of much use anymore. Very unfortunate.
