Command Browser vs Endless Paper

I’ve been using this for a while, really good, the general user experience is very nice. It has clean and pretty UI, robust utilities to accommodate basically any function one needs from this sort of website collecting/highlighting apps, and it combines all those features into just one app, making the whole process much easier and quicker, doing it better all the other similar apps in my opinion. I’ve only recently heard that it now can integrate with Notion and sync the highlights, which is really convenient for me because I’m a heavy Notion user, and so I started to use this app more frequently now. The syncing function’s good, easy setup, and the syncing is really fast, I like it a lot. The only thing is that it cannot sync the notes taken along with the highlights, which means that I still have to transfer the notes manually to pair off with every individual highlight in Notion, and that hinders the efficiency a bit. Really hope there would be a note syncing function as well in the future updates, just a personal wish.

Disclaimer: if you’re only looking for a browser, look elsewhere. This app is so much more. Review: I have been looking for ways to integrate with Notion in more meaningful ways. That is where all of my highlights and book notes are kept (syncs with Kindle highlights through Readwise, and my physical notes sync through Readwise). Why I have never heard of this app before, I’ll never know. I was looking for a way to highlight article and take notes without a subscription. I like Pocket, and I have tried Instapaper, but Command Browser has replaced them both. Not only does this natively integrate with Notion (which is so, so cool by the way) but it can ALSO integrate with Readwise (which, by extension, can integrate with Notion for a small annual fee). So now I can natively sync with Notion, or I can choose to integrate with Readwise to preserve my knowledge template there. This is a very long review, but let me make it very simple for you. If you are a Notion user, get this app. Seriously. That simple. You will LOVE IT. And it just works.

Really nice start. I'd really appreciate a few things... 1. More specific update notes please? 2. Notion integration needs fixing in my opinion so that tags made in Command stay attached to specific highlights (as when they are created in Command) ... Currently, when sent to Notion, tags get rolled up into a bundle as a property of a URL and as a result information (that tag X was attached to highlight Y) is LOST. To fix this, I think the Highlights table needs to have each *highlight* as its entity/row/granularity, rather than URL. Ideally a related "Pages" table with URL as base would store page title and page-scope comments. If that's hard (or not possible to auto-populate related fields?) then URL and page title could just be properties of each highlight in the Highlight table, with those values repeated for each highlight in a page. 3. Data protection: I'd love to know somehow that my Notion data isn't being exposed to accidental sharing or even erasing. Maybe Notion limitations make that impossible to guarantee but at least warn us of what could happen by giving you the keys to my data there. 4. Thanks for the handy app!

This intriguing app does an amazing thing, but it has some real limitations which prevent me from relying on it. On the plus side, it really is infinite, infinitely wide and also infinite zoom in both directions. And it seems stable. It has not crashed on me or lost my information yet. The new color selection, added recently, is a welcome addition! But what limitations! There is only the one file, which is the infinite canvas. You can’t close the file and start a new one. I understand that in theory you don’t need multiple files if you have infinite space inside your one file. But I’d like to be able to back up my work. For that reason, I’ve only played with this app, never used it for anything long term because I don’t feel secure against catastrophic data loss.

Cool concept and has some utility but in the end you can’t trust this app to retain important info (like your notes for work or school), and customer support is completely non-existent. To that end, this app is ultimately just a scribble toy and not worth paying any fee for it. I’d been using the app for a few months as a portable white board for work and had tons of notes in it. Then about a week ago the app froze while I was trying to take a screen shot. No big deal, it happens, but what was hugely disappointing was when I closed and relaunched the app for some unknown reason the entire thing jumped back in time by at least a couple weeks. It was like someone hit the undo button 10,000 times and redo was not an option. At least a week of notes and work gone in a snap. Again, if I ‘lost’ the last few minutes before a crash I could understand that, but a week plus?!?! Unacceptable. I’ve reached out to the customer support email address provided within the app but that was a waste of time, still no response over a week later. Would love to get my $10 back but probably not happening. Recommend avoiding this one until Epiphanie matures into a real developer / vendor.

I just bought this app and as it seems you are using the native tool set that apple has for pencil, but 2 very important thing are missing the first one, please can you add the selection tool? It is very important as you can save a lot of time selecting and duplicating an item, and 2, not as important as the first one, please allow to snip the tool menu to other side of the screen, for example I’m left handed and it is more comfortable to me to have the tools on the right side of the screen, thanks, hope to hear soon from you This is a little frustrating and disappointing. This app is not the cheapest one by far and yet aside from those comments I also discover when you export a file is a jpg with very bad resolution, I can,t share my sketching with my work colleagues with this image quality...
