Nextcloud Notes 4+

App is missing core functionality such as: multi-step undo. No support for multiple accounts/profile-switching such as work/home. There is a strong focus on markdown instead of getting robust plain-text support to work first. Updates are not well tested in seem to introduce regressions as much as fix exising problems. Older versions which had fewer features, ran smoothly. As of 4.0.4, interaction is slow and clunk-clunk-clunky. Adding text to a note adds ~100ms delay per letter typed (with Notes v4.0.4 and NC 23.0.7)

Overall the app is of middling utility, especially considering its age. Best to wait a for quality to mature

I recommend using Koder app with nextcloud webdav instead.

When service is intermittent you will lose note data. For example traveling through an area with poor reception.

This software is entirely reliant on a connection which is a major design flaw. Notes should be saved locally with a unique tag (such as QOwnNotes does) and then sync and remove tag when available.

Instead this software periodically syncs your note to the cloud which is pointless. In a browser this makes sense. On an application, it makes no sense.

I encourage the developer to better the synchronization to allow note taking without connection to the server. For now a massive ring will prevent notes until some net connection is established.

This is totally unreliable and the same as using the phone's browser to connect online.

edit: Just add a Safari shortcut to your home screen from your notes website. Works just as well.

Thanks to the developer(s) for the several recent improvements to this app. With the addition of better Markdown support, file-names/management improvements, and editor improvements in general, using this app is a much better experience.

Better Markdown-entry support and improved check-off list handling would be welcome improvements.
