Ikiru

Sorry but I love Paperless but this has not anything to do with it. Missing colours, missing colour-icons, loveless looking design/layout, missing dropbox-support which is essential. I like to support good programmers but sorry, I expected an upgrade not a downgrade.

I miss switching between "Editable" and "Read Only/Detect Links".

Easy to use! Fast iCloud-Sync! Universal-App! Brings fun to write on iPad AND iPhone! Nice Design (especially the Black-Design with Photos)! Love it!

I’ve loved and used this app now for years. Suddenly, it’s stopped synching across devices. I’ve removed and reinstalled it several times, ensured I’m on all current OS versions, quadruple checked that all synch settings are on, and written the support email four times asking for guidance, each time ignored. It’ll be a shame to delete the app, which is now useless, as is their help line.

There’s still no formatting after all this time. Last I checked, this is an all-around note taking and list making app. Formatted text is crucial in apps like this to create punch. You need bold, italics, underlines, and strike-throughs at the very least but bullets would be nice too. Formatting must be really hard to code for but c’mon already. This app has been around long enough to add these crucial features. The developer seems really nice, so hopefully he’ll take this request seriously. I’m raising my rating to 3-stars I hope that an update comes soon, but it can’t be higher than that without formatting.

I have been using this app for years. It’s a great note taking app. I love it’s functionality and simplicity. However both my spouse and I have noticed a problem with current notes that are either not saving properly or deleting themselves. Another Ikiru reviewer complained about something similar happening with their notes. I am concerned that this app is not being monitored enough to keep up with iPhone updates. Unfortunately due to the app becoming glitchy I am going to look for a replacement.

I had the original list app Paperless from this developer and enjoyed it. He changed everything when he stopped Paperless and launched Ikiru. I got it to support his work but I’ve never liked it nearly as much as Paperless and rarely use it. I see that an update is supposed to be in the works. I hope some of the color and utility of the old app returns.

No formatting! Enough said.

Love the program, love its structure, e.g. the ability to have a heading with subheadings and subheadings to the subheadings, To Do’s listed in chronological order, etc. However, some Ikiru features no longer function, such as automatic data sync upon closing, return to the the last view when reopening, etc. I can only attribute this to the fact that there have been several changes to Apple’s operating system and Ikiru has not kept up; there have been no updates for too long. For this reason, I’m now hesitant to entrust important information to Ikiru in case the next major Apple operating system update leaves Ikiru inoperable

It’s a simple to use app with lots of features. Can have several folders all on the home screen with sub folders. Can import or take pictures easily for a specific topic.
