Ilaro

Please add iCloud support & export to Excel whole Ilaro database (not by separate index cards)

This app is buggy garbage that doesn't work. I asked for a refund and Apple said 'so sad for you.' So here is your one star for a trash can app that doesn't work.

It absolutely has some bugs, but nothing app or feature breaking. I’d consider them minor annoyances, but otherwise the app is great. It’s really helped with multiple research papers I’ve I recommend if your major requires you to write research papers.

Worth noting that this app which had been abandonware was updated recently. Fantastic potential but really needs desktop functionality and sync. Could be a great Zettelkasten or Slip Box replacement if they would put the effort in. At the moment is very focused as a project-based research card tool.

No response from the developer. If you don't want to spend hours entering information that will be lost or erased, don't get this app. Dear developer: Why spend all that time and money developing an app, only to lose it by neglecting to upkeep it? With a little upkeep and a few marketing videos, this could have been a bestseller. Previously: I previously reviewed this app and gave it a five star, but after encoutering a bug that locks me out of the information I entered and then crashes repeatedly when I try to click on it, I had to change my review. The backup of information is very important, and if this app is unable to do that in a way that retrives uncorropted information, it cannot be used for serious research. It takes hours to enter information in, and losing that is unacceptable. I'm hoping my information is not lost. I have written to the developer. Depending on the response and resolution to the problem, I will be changing this review to either a five star (if resolved) or to one star (if it's not resoloved - because this would make the program unusable). Previsously: This app is amazing for academics, college students, journalists, and writers. I keep track of all my sources, citations, writing topics, and authors here. I only wish there was a manual on how to use, because it is a little confusing.

There has been no movement in this app for quite some time and the developer has not responded to my numerous requests as to information on further development. So I can only conclude that this is abandonware and Apple should pull it from the store.

Let's keep it concise. You probably already have the best app in this category. This could have been a contender, but the last update was over a year ago. By the way Ilaro, not to be confused with the Nigerian city of the same name, means, "tool set," in Esperanto. "Nekompleta," is Esperanto for the English word: incomplete. How hard is it to add a sync feature (in any language)? Did you ever note that the green elephant has his own page on Wikipedia?

This app will be five star as soon as it can sync. I have too many devices I need to work on in different settings to be limited to only one that isn't always accessible. It's an incredible app, and nearly perfect soon as it can sync. I have kept the app for over a year waiting on syncing. It's so good, truly. Best research organizer I have found.

I reviewed this app previously, and favorably. However, I can no longer use this app until sync is solved. When my iPad crashed, fortunately, I had exported my last set of research to evernote, but it is in rtf! Yuck! The extensive research data for a particular set of topics I am researching would have to be built from scratch from a huge set of ‘cards’ or tagged notes. I have moved back to a less brilliant app, but I do miss the unique, filtering/sorting that Ilaro provided. Don’t let it stump you, you have a kernel of greatness here. I’ll revise to 5 stars once iCloud sync (or any sync) is solved.

Interface and improved functionality have made this application a great option for monographic binder. Recommend!!!
