ZoomNotes Desktop 4+

text on mac needs work. Cannot select a word or a sentence etc. Def MAC needs work. And syncing is still buggy

added two more stars. Seems to be syncing better and working better with other devices.

Wish list:
Also make a way to sync folders. Notes scattered all over the place are a mess.

The main reason I wanted this is to access and edit my notes from my iPad without having to export them as pdf because I don’t like the thought of the zoomnotes file format being trapped in my iPad. So I’m very grateful for this. I do not need it syncing and haven’t tried that. (I already have OneNote for the notes that I keep synced between devices; also Joplin, the Evernote replacement. ZoomNotes is for completely different use.) It is great that older Mac OS and older iOS are supported because not everyone can afford to update their devices, and the old ones still work perfectly. Also, I like the appearance of the UI. It has a simple charm. I did not have trouble figuring out the UI and I like that the iPad and desktop versions are so similar. The only thing that stumped me is the layerd “sub-pages” becasue I had trouble figuring out how to move or delete them, and figuring out when I was writing on a sub note or the paper beneath it. But it is a good idea, and very unique. It is nice when you need to go back and add to your notes while still keeping things neat. Overall I appreciate Zoomnote and the great support on the website.

I purchased this instead of Goodnotes for 1 feature and that was the fact that there IS a desktop app at all. After turning on sharing and followint all the instruction I can't get anything to sync from my ipad to my mac book. And that is the only reason I bought this. The feaatures on the destop version don't really work. The instructions and tutorials I have found online are all for the ipad app. I can't share anything between my own devices with out airdropping it to myself and that is just stupid. Because I have to do it every time i make a change. I regret this purchase immensly. The help section on the website and the user manual are less than useless. This was a disappointing waste of money.
