Card Buddy - Index Cards 4+

Really cool, one improvement would go far

I really love this app. I love the way the cards look when they are done, and how easy they are to make. It would be nice to have basic formatting…Bold, Italics, underline, the ability to highlight or even add color to words would be helpful.

It's been 84 years...

That's how it feels, anyway. I've spent over 30 hours periodically looking for an sticky notes / index cards application that is also meshed with a grid option, FOREVER. Every application worthy has a hefty subscription requirement, or worse, its U/I is so obsessed with appearing clean that precious real estate is used up by emptiy space and cannot be used. I've looked at over 25 applications.

WIth Card Buddy, I can fit a LOT of text in different notes on my screen and at a glance without having to scroll up or down. This makes it much easier to story board when it comes to several sub-plots and characters, and moving things around is easy-breezy.

User interface is easy, the application is intuitive,a and you can learn it in about 10 seconds.

There's a number of features this app could use, but I'm hopeful because at the time of writing I see the creator updated 3 weeks ago. This is an app that is in progress and I look forward to seeing how it grows! Definitely worth the cost.

Unfortunately not really usable without paying $20

This looks really good - I was excited… But then I discovered that you can’t save what you’re working on—you can’t USE it….until you pay $20. $20 seems too much for an index card app - and one in early development with clearly more functionality needed. (For example, you cannot even format text— fonts or colors or styles! No Apple Pencil support to write or sketch… ) I am sure it is challenging to launch a new app and I wish you the best but I wonder about the decision to not offer a USABLE free version – – even if for a limited time – limiting your audience. I appreciate your not going the abominable subscription route but for comparison Goodnotes - a much richer, deeper app in it’s V6 - is $30 lifetime….

Developer Response ,

Thank you for the feedback. Sorry that the app did not meet your price point expectations.
