Our original review, written in April 2018, is presented in its entirety below. Revised rating: It’s grown a little, but it’s also gotten more expensive. That said, it’s worth noting that unlike many competing apps, these are one-off unlocks rather than subscription payments.

Perhaps most significantly, the pricing has increased from $10/£10 to $20/£20 for the Essentials and from $40/£40 to $50/£50 for Pro, so those additions have come at a cost. 3.1 added the ability to apply the Strikethrough style to text and searchable in-app Reference Manuals, 3.3 brought Siri Shortcuts, and 3.4 supplied the iOS 13 and iPadOS love (including Dark Mode). Lastly, I've found Entourage notes quite useful.So what’s new? This is still the in-depth outline creation tool we reviewed back in 2018, with a string of fairly minor additions made since. It has (I believe) awesome organizational abilities that I haven't scratched the surface of yet Not sure how it would cope with some of the funky symbols you might want to use, but for sheer speed of creating and writing text notes it's the best I've found.

It's an expensive application so may not suit a student budget. For note taking it's hard to beat Tinderbox. I use OmniOutliner for brainstorming and organizing tasks and projects. I also got Circus Ponies Notebook, which I use for writing online manuals - the web export is pretty good. I tried VoodooPad, and liked that, and still use it for some purposes. If I remember rightly it used to infuriate me when I tried moving blocks of text around. I bought Notetaker and ended up not liking it much. I've tried most of the note programs, and bought several. Boy, this is a tough question to answer, as personal preference plays a huge part in what you feel comfortable with.
