Ratings and reviews

Unlike others, I've had zero problems syncing with my PC (that works great via Dropbox) However, when I share things TO Joplin on my Pixel phone, things get wonky After every three or four shares, it just loses it's mind, and stops adding anything. I have to force stop, clear the cache, and then it works great again For three or four more times Rinse and repeat Really smells like a memory management issue

I needed a second notes app on my home device as my main app is synced to both my home and outside device. There are a few notes I don't want to leave the house, in case I lose my phone This app will sync, but I don't want that feature, so I haven't tried it. It's easy to use and view notes. When viewing a note,you can't accidentally edit it, you have to click top right 'EDIT'. It's easy and quick to click edit and saves accidental editing. Would benefit from an in-document word search.

Even better than OneNote! I've used EverNote, and I've used OneNote. But by far, my favorite is Joplin. It's the best of both the others. I love the fact that you can choose why platform you want to use to do the sync storage. And even better than OneNote, it has a native version of the utility on Linux, which makes it easy for me to have my notebooks on all my devices.
