Ratings and Reviews
Elegant and Appealing
I love this app. I purchased it after viewing the exquisite tutorial videos on the developers’ website and listening to a podcast interview with the user interface designer. I believe that the designer and the developer share a vision of what this sort of app ought to be and are making rapid progress toward their goals. I am not an elegant person but I appreciate quality tools. In this app I haul all my research onto my space and start writing on my screen with my Apple Pencil. If I need anything the app makes it easy to bring it to the workspace. This is a very intimate way to interact with the iPad and releases a lot of inhibitions I feel when using a keyboard and facing a blank screen. I love that I can tilt the “paper” while I write. This feature really helps an old left-handed scrawler like me. The latest update also offers left-handlers the option of moving the drawer and tools to the right side of the screen. Defter Notes helps me to do serious work in a way that I find appealing. I look forward to seeing where the developers take it, and they appear to be moving quickly. I offer an enthusiastic endorsement.
My New Research Stash
I really like how the interface gets out your way on this app, I feel like I am working on desk with an infinite filing cabinet. This app is like a well thought out hybrid of Sling Notes (sadly no longer available) and Corkulous.
The ability to export any asset and/or complete note space to PDF is fantastic. The stacking feature is great for page collections and PDFs imported from my Concepts, GoodNotes and Notability notebooks and the web, allowing specific collection and reorganization in a free-form way.
Looking forward to options for “bring your own” external cloud backup and syncing. The fact this doesn’t require use of a forced cloud service like Muse, is what makes this program a gem and makes me feel in control of my data, without a subscription. I hope the developers continue to improve this app as it could easily become the next “Must Have” for iPad.
Seriously UNDERRATED app!
Like many others, I've tried so many note-taking and organize-your-ideas apps, but there was always that one (or a few) things that bugged me enough to make me stop using it. One other reviewer mentioned that this app “works the way his brain does” and it’s the same for me and I freakin’ love it. Finally!
To anyone trying Defter Notes: Please be patient and stay with it. I’m so glad I did. It does have a bit of a learning curve (watch all their how-to videos!) but once you figure out where everything is and what it is they do, it does feel very natural and elegant.
Thank you, Devs! Your hard work shows and shines through this app. I can’t wait to see what new features you will bring in the app and how you will improve Defter Notes and bring it to its greatest potential. More power—incredible work! 👏🏽
