Speechify is absolutely brilliant. Growing up with dyslexia this would have made a big difference. I’m so glad to have it today.

Private Notebook reviews

Amazing app! Worked wonderful for nearly a year! Writing this review as a warning to fellow writers; it doesn't like it when you have more than 300 or so stories. Sorting breaks and it runs a little slow. Other than that, works lovely! I love the lack of character limit- one of the main problems I had with other apps- and the password lock is amazing. Will definitely keep using once I've managed to shove all of the stories I've already written into google docs.

This is app is almost exactly what I wanted: a lite-frills notepad, NOT a TrapperKeeper or scrapbook (data heavy; allow pix, web content, etc.) And no ads, to boot! The reminder feature is tricky, thanks in part to a 24hr clock design- the buttons are very close together on a phone. But my CHIEF COMPLAINT is that the app can't be stored on an SD card. I LOVE the elegant asthetic- a lite app can't have a ton of customization features, but this has just enough to make it pretty to look at.

Please add date formats and 12 hour time format. Date and time on every entry looks good. A little color customization is good but not needed. I would like my entries in little circular rectangular boxes, currently it looks bland. These daily notes should be always sorted be date and time by default, that's how most of the apps are. I like that you are keeping the app updated.

AudioNote reviews

I was also looking for a way to better visualize text as a set of notes while still using markdown and .txt, then I came up with the idea "Sticky notes + Markdown + Tabs, All in one .txt file"[1]. It's nothing fancy, just a prototype using electron and vanilla javascript. news.ycombinator.com | 1 Mar 2022 "Needs a few things to be perfect I love this app but I can’t zoom in and the highlighter only works when you type not when using the apple pen. Those are the only problems I have with this app. Please fix that." "NBillu , 02/16/2019, Appstore " "Near Perfect I can almost give AudioNote 2 a 5-star rating, and for the life of me, I do not understand how anyone could rate it 1 or 2 stars. I think that reveals more about user incompetence than it does about this excellent app. All in all, it’s nearly perfect. In fact, I hesitate to list what I think are its shortcomings, because it performs so well. But there are 3 aspects where I see room for improvement. 1. Better iPad integration with Apples Files app. I keep my current AudioNote work on my MacBook desktop, and I’d like to be able to open it on iPad and immediately edit. Instead, I have to download the whole audio file first. 2. Like nearly everyone else, AudioNote now requires a subscription to use advanced features. But I think the fee is unreasonably high. (And it would have been a good move to offer us early adopters of the original product a discount or some similar incentive. Nonetheless, the fee is too high.) 3. BIGGIE: Less complicated playback speed controls." "jginfl , 04/06/2018, Appstore"
