Inkpad Notepad - Notes - To do Reviews

Edit: Update seems to have fixed the worst of the bugs, including notes not saving. However, now it’s having trouble syncing some notes that I add to the website first; it’s impossible to highlight/Select some text without using Select All which is incredibly inconvenient, and I can’t move the cursor by holding down the keyboard as you can in iOS. Please fix these minor bugs so we can all have our beloved app back. Thank you.

Changing my review to one star due to no action from developers. I will be transitioning to a new note taking app, reluctantly. InkpadNotepad simply doesn’t save notes on iPhone 8 and has cost me countless lost minutes and hours and information. The ad on top is so obnoxious that it often blocks the text you’ve typed. This has become nearly unusable.

Original review: I’ve been using InkpadNotepad for 5 years and it’s become a fundamental part of my life. I record all of my observations and writings in InkpadNotepad first, and it has come to serve as a chronicle of my emotional rollercoasters across the last half decade. However, I have found it to be almost unusable on iPhone because eight times out of ten, it just doesn’t save my note. This is devastating, as it’s truly a deal breaker. I don’t want to leave InkpadNotepad, so please fix these bugs and you’ll have me for at least another five years.

I’ve been using this to manage important ideas both personal and professional. Overall it’s been reliable and easy to use, but some quirks are frustrating. Most notable at the moment is spacing. For example, when I try to add sub notes to a primary header, I add a space after the bullet, but it doesn’t display this until after I begin typing. The result is that I often add another space or two (or none at all) in an effort to anticipate the logic, but the outcome isn’t right, so efforts have to shift to editing rather than recording notes quickly.

In a world where little items like this are expected, this quirk makes the Inkpad app seem like a primitive throwback rather than a sharp, 21st century tool that quickens workflow rather than slows it. Seems like this small detail might be worth the effort for the developers to resolve and make InkpadNotepad on par with virtually every other writing interface out there, such as Word, email, and....even the ancient mechanical typewriter response appropriately when the user indicates need for a space when appropriate.

I really like InkpadNotepad . I too have used it for years. I don’t have trouble saving the notes. I do have trouble editing. If you try to copy and paste, it is almost impossible. It also doesn’t always type the letters. I have to hit the letter a few times, if I’m in a hurry, I won’t be able to understand what I wrote sometimes when I come back to it. Then it doesn’t want to put the cursor in the middle of the word when trying to fix the spelling. It only wants to put the cursor at the end of the word. It’s faster to delete & respell all words than edit. The ad banner isn’t bad! I’m sure they will update the editing part. It really is a great app. Whatever note you update last is always at the top. I like that.

InkpadNotepad is much better than the other list apps because you don't have to worry about creating just one list then suddenly you have to upgrade to the pro version which is very annoying and InkpadNotepad is so much easier and better because you can make multiple lists and not have to worry about losing your info.... I would strongly recommend InkpadNotepad to anyone who likes to make multiple lists and not have to worry about paying for the extra service.

It’s not a bad look, but it has created a problem. With the latest update I either can’t move items freely or it won’t let me move them like I used to in a check box list. The three lines on the right now will flash when I long press them, but trying to drag the item just causes the note to scroll up and down the whole list vertically.

Beyond that it’s a darn good note app. I’ve been using it for years for grocery lists as it makes organization a breeze (with the one new above mentioned problem) so I can scythe through the store quickly and efficiently.

Updating my previously negative review regarding the “new version.” All the features from the older version have been restored such as font size adjustment and drag and drop list items. I have used InkpadNotepad for a long time to organize various checklists and will continue to do so. The main thing I would change if I could is the font used. I believe this used to be an option but I may be wrong. It would be nice to have multiple fonts to choose from, the default font isn’t the most aesthetically pleasing in my opinion. Very minor detail that does not affect functionality though.

I have been brainstorming for over 12 hours today and was using InkpadNotepad to write down notes (ironically, I was taking notes on what iPhone apps I want to develop next). The process of writing of the notes was fine, however it's not the writing of the notes that's important, it's the saving of those notes. I just reopened InkpadNotepad to go over my notes from today (I had tons of them), and I am shocked to discover that nearly two-thirds of my notes disappeared! They're nowhere to be found anywhere in InkpadNotepad ! WHY!?!? They were there earlier, and now they're just, gone! I have not been this disappointed/frustrated/angered in a very long time. InkpadNotepad is less than worthless, it can make you lose your precious data forever and without warning. Be warned!

I have had many problems with other Note-taking apps on here however this one has been incredibly helpful. As a person whose lost so much data in the past, this is a life savior. Even if I exit out of InkpadNotepad , it saves. It’s very tricky but once you get used to it, you’ll find yourself in InkpadNotepad daily.

My only complaint is that I miss the previous version, where I could change the font style and size or even color as I pleased. Now it doesn’t have that option and gives limited choices. Please bring it back or make InkpadNotepad better. I really want to rate 5Stars.

This is my go to for ideas, tasks, grocery lists, dates, and other important issues that I don't want to forget when I'm on the go. I am using it to write programs and a book I'm working on. It is worth it's weight in gold. It synchs beautifully with my iPad and my PC. The free version is so wonderful, I switched to the vet affordable paid version. The few times I've had questions, I have received a response within a very short time. Simply put, I can't live without it.

I have enjoyed InkpadNotepad thoroughly, until recently. When entering info under a particular category, the screen is cut in half due to the keyboard, but the update will not allow me to get to the end of my input to continue adding on. It keeps the information below the keyboard, which I can not access. If I hit "Done" and go back in, it lets me add more info but quickly starts doing the same thing again.

And, just recently, when I decided to delete something it ended up deleting my list above. It did this to me twice in a row. There is no option to restore deleted lists. That would be a wonderful addition. In the meantime I am frustrated it deleted the lists they did. The information on there was terribly valuable & needed today. Ugh!!!

Be sure to check this out! It’s a good thing that it’s free because you’ll never want to buy it I download it this 24 hours ago, and at first it worked perfectly it was a dream but after I had it on my phone for maybe 12 hours it started doing its own thing it started putting in bullets in the middle of my typing it wouldn’t put the color dots in for my checklists it started doing all kinds of things started changing the color of the text right in the middle of what I was writing. I was just waiting for the Christmas vacation to be over so I could go and get the money to buy InkpadNotepad that I want and this definitely is not it!!!!

Don’t use InkpadNotepad for any notes that are important to you and that you want to keep safe. The good reviews are probably from people who use it occasionally for things like quick every day to do lists because InkpadNotepad cannot handle anything more serious than that. I lost really important notes because InkpadNotepad doesn’t work properly. It should have never been made available to the public and the people involved in this project obviously don’t have the required level of technical competency to create a functional product nor the integrity to recognize the potential losses that people may suffer from using something that doesn’t work well.

I keep information that I don’t want to forget to pass on to my doctor. Notes of things I want to get done. Christmas list so I don’t forget anyone. Things that I have done to my manufactured home so my children will know. InkpadNotepad gets used constantly. I love how easy it is to add, change or delete items. Helps keep this 82 year young grandmother of straight:
2 sons and their wives, 9 grandchildren, 7 great grandchildren and another on the way. I am very blessed.

Inkpad is probably the most used app on my phone. I have so many different notes for different purposes. One note is my plans for the week, one is my food shopping list, and another is my goals for the upcoming year (to name a few). Maybe it’s OCD but im constantly reviewing and revising my notes as needed and it keeps me organized and up-to-date. Never had an issue with InkpadNotepad ! I would honestly be lost without it.

I have used InkpadNotepad for many years and have loved it. However, the ad placement is very annoying. Oftentimes it blocks what I am trying to see and there is no way to move your text so you can see it. I’ve tried returning down on my note, but then I have a lot of blank note titles, which makes it nearly impossible to quickly find the note I’m looking for. This has got so annoying that I may switch to another note taking app if it is not resolved. Other than that I enjoy how easy it is to back up my notes and how easy it is to use. Please fix the ad problem so I can continue to use your great app and change my two stars rating to five stars!

I've been using InkpadNotepad for a few years, it's been very helpful, and so far nothing has been lost as reported by other users. It's not quite as full featured as I'd like, though. One feature I like is being able to create a permanent shopping list with boxes I can check for items I want rather than those I've gotten. Then as I pick them up, I remove the check. Unfortunately adding the check also puts a strikeout line through the item. I wish that could be eliminated.

... it has been confusing how to write a note then end writing it without losing what you just wrote. At this point it seems the best method is to start a new note by tapping the + to start writing. Then tap the tablet or iPhone Home button to end your writing, which will use the first line of your text as the title of your note.
Today I got the latest update of InkPad with much different user interface. So far it looks good with one exception: now it seems one cannot select just a portion of a note, to either copy or delete or edit, just that portion.

I use this on all of my devices for just about everything. I have composed notes, poems, letters, lectures, memos, short stories, shopping lists, other lists and at least one eulogy. It’s easy to access from everywhere, and I can pick up from where I left off on phone, tablet or computer. And, using the checkbox feature makes To-do list progress easy to track. Finding old notes based on subject or other keyword is easy, as well. I love InkpadNotepad.

Well I've used InkpadNotepad for a few years now and honestly its kinda always had that weird bug about not saving info all the time which is incredibly annoying. Thankfully I don't usually use it for anything detrimental to lose. But, since the adding of the banner ads its been blocking my first list of notes in the menu screen. It blocks my list perfectly and then I can't scroll it down to click on my list. I even thought it had erased my list a few times before I caught on. Seriously if we could finally fix the saving issues and the banner ads blocking lists (and even items in lists) I would rate this a 5.

Notepad is a very good simple note keeper with sophisticated features like cloud syncing and easy-to-use list organizing. The only flaw I've encountered is an inconsistency with the old version’s ability to copy and paste text. Instead of copying a selected text it keeps an old copy and then the paste function doesn't work. But I still give this 4 out of 5 stars and have been using it for a year now. I will update this review after I have used the new version.

I use this application for business everything I write is business orientated and I make sure my additions is used respectfully to my morals and ethics of normal society where these ideal aren’t against others my notes will addition to those actions applied and it’s will denote any negative energy to or from within Afro American guild lines
Of education and information applied as of respect of owner or user I am sure I comply with protocol and use age terms

I’ve had InkpadNotepad since March 2012 never had any problems with it. It worked perfectly everything was great and then yesterday happened I don’t know what happened but ever since then it’s not acting right. I just updated it again because there was an update and it still acting crazy. I can’t scroll on one particular note that I kept don’t know why? Help please. I could’ve gladly given this five stars until yesterday. Sorry I hadn’t rated it before I thought I had. Also I just noticed that when I pull up InkpadNotepad the notes that have kept there’s like three in for multiples of the same notes????

I was in a six hour, important professional meeting that started at 9 a.m. I decided to give the program it's first workout. The program appeared to work just fine and have the features that I wanted, though the flashing 2001 style banner ads were a bit distracting. I took several pages of notes. I even received a gmail indicating my notes were backed up on the site and awaiting me.

When I logged in later on my desktop to retrieve, the notes saved there were tagged 9:22 a.m. Uh oh. Both on the iPad and on the desktop website, InkpadNotepad had lost over five hours of work. Aside from taking notes, saving notes is the most basic function. Terrible app.
