Yojimbo for iPad

As previous review - crashes on sync

Pretty much useless as it crashes and quits on sync with my iMac

I left off buying Yojimbo for iPad for quite a while but succumbed in the end in order to get access to all of the stuff stored in Yojimbo on my Mac which works fine. Disappointed though that it is still read-only so if I want to put something in Yojimbo on the Mac while away from it I have to use another app such as Evernote, Dropbox, email ... to get it there. Today I realized another annoying deficiency when trying to share some text to another app for editing: it would only share to email, as a zipped attachment, so fairly useless.

Having been a Yojimbo user since 1997, I was happy to find there was an iPad app, although I only just discovered this when last week I bought my first iPad. I think what really makes Yojimbo really stand out for me is that it doesn't sync with a cloud service. I don't want that for storing sensitive financial information or license numbers. I just want a local sync which is what Yojimbo for iPad does beautifully. I'd like to know if there will be a retina screen update at some point? Anyway, congratulations again.

There are a number of things this needs, as suggested by other reviewers.

It a Yojimbo "reader" for iPad. I've always loved Yojimbo for mac, but the developers stubbornness at refusing to make an iPad version is dumb. If I can't write notes from my iPad then I need another solution - and I'm looking.

It desperately needs cloud sync. Write-access would be nice too.

This app is not fit for purpose. So very disappointing. The Mac version deserves 10 stars

I was really looking forward to having Yojimbo on my iPad, but I've been massively disappointed with the Mac syncing aspects. Unless I'm doing something stupid, it seems to crash regularly and generally won't even find the Mac on the same Wi-Fi network. Great disappointment - expected much better.

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.
