A Review about What This App Is and Isn’t (yet)

I love Good Notes on iOS and it is great to see a Mac version available. (This is a real version, too, not the knock off that was on the App Store for a while.)

Since this is the first version of the Mac version it is important to note what the app is and is not (yet).

This app works for organizing files that you have in Good Notes. That’s it, right now. It does this job very well. Syncing with Dropbox was instantaneous when I opened the Mac version. Moving files to different folders is very easy and fast. And document annotations made on iOS are updated within a minute or so. (It would be cool if the updates were instantaneous a la Google Docs, but that’s not what this app claims to offer.) Because it does what it says it does well, this app is five stars.

This app is not (yet) an annotating app. It is clear in the description that annotating ability will be gradually implemented and that will make Good Notes for iOS and Mac awesome in my opinion. I can’t wait for (at least) the ability to annotate documents with text. I still don’t like to type on my iPad.

Great to see this app and can’t wait for updates.
