not perfect - here’s whats missing

I’m really hesistant to write a bad review because this app shows some promise. But I hope this will motivate the developer to work harder to make this a true evernote and Circus Ponies notebook replacement.

Here’s what I like:
1. nice interface
2. Clean
3. Able to search my files locally and with format that is recognised by all other apps.

Here’s what I don’t like or missing from the app.

1. no tagging - better yet, update mavericks tagging while at it.

2. no way to insert image in a user friendly way - every image i inserted is presented with the “?” symbol.

3. Image that is outside of the “home” folder is greyed out. You can only select the “home” folder’s image. Even then it’s “?” symbol.

4. The only way to put an image? Drop the image into the folder (inside of the notebooks app ) and then use the “link” button to link to that image. (you must copy the link before hand) If you don’t understand this, that’s my point.

5. no way to resize the image. I’ve even tried to write the HTML code myself, it doesn’t respond.

6. Where’s the highlight? I can’t highlight text. Searched high and low for this.

7. no way to annotate PDF. Even if I open the PDF inside notebooks with Preview, annotate it, and save….notebooks does not reflect the hightlights etc. So there’s no way to annotate as i know it. What’s the use of storing “almost any” documents if you can’t do anything with it?

Conclusion: Extremely limited. It’s not ready to be launched. I hope it will get better in time and this is the only reason why I’m not going to ask for a refund. Like I said, I like the clean look.
