About this app

Nimbus Notes is a powerful notes app and organizer that helps you gather and organize your information — all in one place. There’s no need to spend time searching for your notes anymore. Create text notes, scan documents/business cards and make to-do lists. Synchronize it all with Nimbus Note for future viewing and editing on other devices.

Conveniently manage your notes

- Create notes in the editor with formatting support — bold, strike, underline, code, quotes, headers, etc.
- Add pictures, audio, video, documents, and other types of files.
- Markdown support.
- Save any information from the Internet using the Nimbus Note web clipper.
- Scan and digitize any paper documents and pictures using the camera device. The text recognition feature will let you work with scanned files as well as regular notes.

Organize your notes

- Workspaces - separate personal information from the work-related kind. Create separate databases of notes (with own folders and tags) for different purposes within a single account;
- Create folders and subfolders.
- Use tags to add context to notes.

Group collaboration on notes

Ratings and reviews

As an ex-Evernote user, I was looking for a reasonable alternative. This one looked good, but I encountered 4 important problems: 1. Using the "import from Evernote" option, I found that it left out 20 of my +3200 notes. 2. Pictures inside tables of imported notes, are not displayed. 3. I was using the 3 available versions: PC Windows desktop, web, and Android mobile. Every time I opened my mobile app, it would go into sync mode for aver an hour, apparently syncing everything again, even if I hadn't modified any document. Senseless. 4. I tried to to register for Nimbus Suport, but encountered an error related to cookies. I then contacted Support directly explaining the problem, and that I had cookies whitelisted. Their first reply was that they would "make the process more user-friendly". After complaining that this is not the issue, I got another reply telling me "to check cookies settings". I told them to READ my email. That was 6 days ago. No more replies. CONCLUSION: crappy app, and useless "support". Uninstalled.

Have tested this for an hour and decided to not go with this notes app, although the interface is really great and what it can do is intuitive and easy to understand. But, luckily I found out, in time that the free version does not offer a lot of space. Tried to duplicate a long note that I had just copied in from somewhere else, and it tells me that I have exceeded my "blocks" limit?? A quick google search shows me that blocks=lines of note. That makes it unusable for me.

Impressed so far after a day of usage. All I wanted was an easy to use app working offline on Android and on my computer's web browser. Please, please don't make this into a slow, bloated mess monetizing the most basic functions (aka Evernote). Would also be nice to compact check lists to avoid a lot of scrolling but that's minor. Thanks!
