7 years and still loving it.

I used Obsidian, Capacities, Roam, Evernote, apple notes. I still put all my notes in Bear app, as the fonts and UI is just amazing. Bear 2.0 made me even write more notes into it. Though Latex(math) is something lacking, but otherwise my number 1 app.

Minimalist note taking heaven 🌁

I never thought that I will ever need a third party app for taking notes, but since now I have installed Bear, I can’t go back to any other app. The note taking experience is clean, minimal and encourages to take notes which are - to the point. I like the full featured (almost) editor which includes basic toolset which a voracious note-taker usually wants. People who take daily notes, write whole pages of books, scribble around things as mysterious as spells from Hogwarts’ Dictionary of Magic will absolutely love what this app can do.

My only current gripe is that the images cannot be edited like crop, changing angles etc; or the features are hidden (not sure) in such a way that they are not visible upfront. I hope this support is added in upcoming versions as customising images to the size you want according to your content makes your note look extremely clean.

Awesome app, but..

Bear is a great app.I have been using it for the past one month and i love it. My suggestion is, can you please include a table-making facility. It takes so much time to make a table in some other app, take a screenshot of it and then insert the image in the note.
