Editors’ Notes

This Apple Design Award-winning writing app doesn’t bury us in toolbars and technical details. Linking notes is as easy as dropping a hashtag, and formatting your work is a total breeze. We especially love it on iPad.

App decisamente ben fatta ma...

L’applicazione è progettata in maniera impeccabile. È fluida nello scorrimento dei menu, nelle gestures, marcatamente minimal e semplice, concentrandosi e focalizzandosi sulla scrittura. È proprio questo approccio alla scrittura, senza distrazioni, il punto forte di quest’app.
Il limite che però trovo nell’utilizzo è proprio in questa semplicità che, a mio parere, rende l’app scomoda da utilizzare quando le note iniziano ad essere tante e bisogna catalogarle. Si, ci sono gli hashtag, ma a volte non è sufficiente una parola per ordinare le note. Servirebbe almeno qualche categoria/sottocategoria che permette una maggiore selezione per avere i propri contenuti ordinati. Insomma qualche funzione in più per l’organizzazione e la gestione delle note e/o un’ interfaccia strutturata in modo tale da avere una migliore panoramica non vincolata al solo elenco verticale.

Design e semplicità. Perché non darci la possibilità di comprarla?

È un’applicazione per note ed in quanto tale non deve essere complessa. Bear rispetta tali premesse ed è il motivo per cui la preferisco alla concorrenza (con le sue inutili complessità). È più organizzata rispetto all’app note di iPhone ed ha un design bellissimo. Si possono fare anche molte più cose, ma questo lo scoprirete usandola. Per avere la sincronizzazione (tra l’altro con CloudKit), bisogna pagare. Io lo farei, ma una volta sola anche se dovesse costare più dell’abbonamento annuale. Così come è ora e con abbonamento non sono interessato a pagare, motivo della stella in meno. Perché non dare la possibilità di comprarla una tantum?
