Card Buddy - Index Cards 4+

I recently came across this and thought I would try to use it for a small book project I am working on in conjunction with a graphic artist.

My initial thoughts were ‘hmm not quite what I’m looking for’ BUT as I persevered I realised it’s simple approach really helped clarify my thought processes and highlighted omissions I had made and suddenly I was hooked. It’s quite flexible and easy to use due to its simplicity and great for quick notes/ideas and works well visually.

Some thoughts for the future..

It would be convenient to have an ‘auto update to cloud’ option when saving on the iPad to keep the versions in sync. I currently do this manually by copying or moving, but if someone knows a better way I’m all ears.

Alternatively some form of auto version number on save would be very useful.

Dropping small video clips would be nice if possible too.

The scope of tasks and ideas for uses of the app is very wide. There're literally so many tasks one can adapt it to use.

Earlier versions used to have four options for the 'type' of document (project) you wanted to create. For some reason this was reduced to 2.

At present, you can choose either 'Storyboard' or 'Kanban'. There used to be two other options. Indeed, the more options the better the app.

I've bought the app as a one off payment and it is 100% worth it. The developer seems to be beavering away & often making improvements.

I have great big hopes for this app that it will continue to update and evolve and hopefully it'll gain back those options and more besides.

Big Recommend!

I use this for screenwriting and it's perfect!! I've not found any other apps that are as clean and intuitive as this. Every other one I tried had annoying features or was cumbersombe and overcomplicated. This closet I've seen an app come to replicating the simple feeling of sticking cards on the wall. Love it.
