This app is even better and now my syncs are rock solid OK I smiling ear to ear now Everythings working for me on my iPhone and my Mac No crashes good syncs rich features working Solid utility field and base station utility Im impressed I like the way you can dress up files too I use the art app to grab images for em Latest versions seems to demonstrate that Chronos is placing attention to the app However cover flow graphics size is now reduced this time around which is suboptimal for me and some crazy graphic artifacts seem to be appearing that did not occur before the update Sync is getting better and app seems to be getting more stable overall Im adding a star since its best app I found to date that works with a robust desktop application sibling SOHO Notes Still not as refined as the OmniFocus pairing for GTD stuff I too awaited this one Solid 5start concept and not a bad start for V 10 Ive had a few assimilatioin issues and many of the problems have been those of the user However here are some real ones 1 My audio recording utility does not work no matter what I try 2 There is not scaling or sizing of text that I can find and this problem is amplified on incoming notes from my mac for they are tiny 3 Syncing is confusing at least to me A Syncing appears to work only with both your mac and iPhone are on wifi Preferably syncing would not be dependent on wifi only B Apparently the sync button on the toolbar is for mobileMe etc and the only sync that i have cound works is to go into preferences and sync in the iPhone area To me the benchmark for syncing is Omnifocus iPhone app with their Mac applicationperfecto This all seems real clumsy in the syncing area but this may not be in fact correct for there may be something i do not yet understand which leads me to my next point 4 This app is robust enough to deserve aka really needed for us mere mortals a manual either as integrated into the app or as a separate PDF Ive looked about on the Chronos site and can find nothing I respect that QA on a new app is not easy but it is very important isnt it and lastly an idea to Chronos and Shapewriter developers talk to each other and make it so that you can write notes by using ShapeWriter app instead of the virtual key pad micropecking wow would that be dynomite or what Again a very good start with awesome latent potential IMHO                 Much better with the latest updates
This is just what I have been looking for After reading a number of reviews detailing problems with synching downloaded latest copy of Soho Notes and trying synching between my 3GS iPhone and the desktop app Using version 15 I have encountered no problems whatsoever It may be that improvements have been made over the past versions If you are using the most recent versions of SOHO notes and Note Lite be sure to look at the preferences menu item in SOHO notes that specifies which folders and files will be synched between the applications Will be purchasing SOHO notes after seeing advantages of maintaing both apps              Great app Not having any trouble with synching
I have had synching issues with NoteLife ever since I downloaded it I had a game that used Apples new GameCenter advise to turn off Bluetooth on the phone when playing online as it would aid in wifi reception WELL ever since I did that I have had no issues at all synching Im thinking the issue might just be that Chronos reattempts when the connection get severed might not be terribly robust for phoneside interference SO Id recommend to anyone having synching issues try disabling BlueTooth while you are synching and see if it helps           Sick of resetting my notes db on my phone
I spend more wasted time making this program work than what it is worth This evening I have spent 3 hours trying to get the data in this program on my iPhone 4 cleaned up Duplicate files came out of nowhere encrypted files that open to discover that not data is there and finally giving up trying to get things to sync properly I deleted the database on the iPhone with the intent to start from scratch Not surprising data from SoHo Notes on my computer will not transfer back to the iPhone I have put up with a company over the last couple of years that will take two weeks or longer to get back when asking it to address a problem and on the latest problem with blank encrypted files months ago they never did get back Tonight is the last straw I will no longer use NoteLife and will look to find a more reliable program and software company     Absolutely worthless
No updates in a year and it has a lot of bugs So obviously the developers have stopped developing     This app is dead
Ive been using this app since its release and its pretty useful but now that I have an iPad I dont synch with my iPhone anymore and notelife looks terrible at 2x and is useless at 1x view You guys need to upgrade the app for iPad           Needs to upgrade to iPad HD
Was pleased with functionality until latest app update after which each folder on SoHo Notes was reproduced dozens of times all of the content on my iPod were erased and all of my notes made on the iPod lost forever and the iPod app ceased working entirely Sent email to Chronos but only received automated response no real input or help     Disaster
My main interest in this app was to sync with SOHO Notes on my MacBook Pro NoteLife has lots of nice features I especially like the encryption of notes that are synced from my encrypted SOHO Notes Unfortunately there are so many bugs and software failures that I cannot recommend this product Syncing works about 30 of the time either it wont connect or else it connects but then locks up and you have to abort the sync at which point NoteLife tells you the database is probably corrupted it usually is not and it advises that you reinitialize the entire data base time waster I am often warned that my iPhone is reporting low memory even though I have made lots of memory available and I am advised that powering my phone off and then on again may help this time waster Sometimes the app duplicates all of my synced notes The first time this happened I was unprepared and had to go through my notes and delete the duplicates time waster Now I always backup my SOHO Notes before a sync so that I can restore the database if that happens time waster Sometimes it wont pair with my MacBook and I have to delete the pairing and then repair the iPhone and laptop time waster The app crashes frequently while entering notes and the information has to be reentered time waster The app insists on copying my Trashed files from SOHO Notes over 1000 the first time so I have to constantly empty the Trashto avoid painfully slow syncs and hope that I dont have to ever retrieve a deleted file Automatic syncing is horrible if you open NoteLife on the way out the door just to add milk to your shopping list youll have to stop and wait for NoteLife to Sync and it may never do so see 30 rule above before you can add the item to your list Notes that are imported to the iPhone lose their formatting if you edit them on the iPhone a shortcoming of the iPhone says Chronos and it may well be but then what good is importing a ToDo list with the nice little check boxes when they all disappear if you try and check them off as you complete them on the iPhone I keep hoping for improved performance with each upgrade but so far the problems persist        Plan to waste lots of time on this app if you buy it
Nifty note taking app good features including tree view multiple type encryption sync to soho notes when fails or you cancel needs an erase all but is perfect if succeeds              Nifty note taking app sync error prone
The app is just OK It would be really fine if you could get Chronos Software to fix the companion software that is supposed to run on the Macintosh After more than 6 months of no fixes I had to give up on Soho Notes and subsequently on the Notes Life app I do like the feature of the app that allows encryption of notes But I find it easier to simply have a lock on the iPhone I cannot recommend strongly enough to stay away from this company and its products There is no ability to talk to any live person in tech support and their logging system of support is sloppy and sometimes downright wrong It was all told a waste of money on both products     App will not sync
I had been looking for a way to sync stored and organized data from my two Macs to my iPhone and iPad and this rocks it While Im still waiting for a proper iPad version update for now just having access to all of my data makes my needing to lug around my laptop that much less of a reality                 awesome syncing
Synching with SOHO Notes almost never completes and takes up to 30 minutes when it does only syncing 60Mb of data        Syncing with SOHO Notes is Terrible
I have been with this company since it was Sticky Brain I use them on my laptop almost every day and a good amount of time on my Iphone but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to sync it on my Ipad Now that I am using my iphone less and less I really need all these notes in my Ipad This company is also VERY bad with customer service as to answering questions so unless someone can tell me I am stuck using something else           No way to sync with Ipad
Never could get the app to sync with the Notes application NO help from the Chronosnet support site which is not unique to this product from this developer Save your money It doesnt work        Neglected app
Wish I could say more     New Version still does not sync
Ive been using Chronos software ever since Sticky Brain They have had their ups and downs I would agree that their support style leaves something to be desired BUT I disagree with the very poor reviews given here I am running SOHO Notes 832 on my Mac and Notelife on both my iPhone and now iPad I have 9MB of notes and they sync to both devices in less than 30 seconds about 460 notes While the user interface for syncing is not exactly intuitive SOHO notes running on Mac SOHO notes preferences open Notelife open on mobile device within the same wifi network then click plus button at bottom of Currently Paired Devices window to add a device then click Synchronize to sync notes but it works once you set it up Ive tried other password and note retention apps but have to say I find the SOHO Notes Flashlight menu bar search tool on the Mac so useful that combined with functional syncing to iPhone and iPad I can absolutely recommend these products A couple of years ago I would have felt differently but SOHO Notes and the mobile device Notelife do play well together              Coming of Age
Ive tried so many Notes apps and over time I learned which features are important to me NoteLife has come to the closest to what Ive been looking for in particular for its use of subfolders AND tags and the syncing with a Mac application Ive had no issues with syncing and its very fast though it would be great if the icons could sync too There are tons of other features which arent necessary for me but I definitely appreciate them This app would reach perfection for me if it supported bullets integrated TextExpander or a builtin snippet option had a tag view in which I could see what tags Ive used and which notes have used that tag right now I have to type in the search bar and need to know which tag Im looking for already basic html tagging that a few other Notes apps have              Its become my main Notes app
Continual sync problems Sometimes will get up to half my SOHO Notes synced then display connection reset by peer and freeze up Dont waste your money on this product unless you have a very small database several hundred notes max that you want to keep on your iPhoneiPad Otherwise this app is definitely not up to the task Customer support is notoriously bad with all Chronos products     Not Ready for Prime Time
At first app worked OK syncing with SOHO Notes just fine Then a glitch and app was reset according to on screen instructions phone rebooted and all exactly per instructions Entered sync hole App would not sync no matter what permutation of those instructions I tried After some time I managed to get things working again but I have no idea how I just rebooted the phone deleted the database on the phone etc ad infinitum and finally it started to sync again Now Im keeping my fingers crossed I also like aNote used in conjunction with Evernote for additional options which use cloud syncing instead           Sync is quirky
Badly needs updating to iOS 7 standards leather is out app crashes when a folder is encrypted when you insert your password now unusable Need full screen view and many other improvements Chronos should be aware that the iOS will be updated periodically please refund my purchase if Chronos is not going to keep up with changes     App broken needs updating
Sync fails and corruptsduplicates data every time Wow how could they release this product when it doesnt work Do NOT get this app if you ever plan to sync devices     Danger danger
Lots of complaining about synching issues I have no problems synching between my mac and iphone 4 The app is zippy and a cinch to use this and SOHO notes are my new organizational tools and life will be better for them Looking forward to the iPad version                 Works for me
First release was pitiful so I hoped someone at Chronos would notice too This release 11 works as it should so far I deleted NoteLife 10 from my iPhone downloaded the new release in iTunes synced this on to the iPhone repaired the iPhone and SOHO Notes in SOHO Notes Preferences and finally synced NoteLife with SOHO Notes successfully Fingers crossed it may now be useable     Finally Works
Ive been using SOHO notes since version 5 Ver 6 was horrible but the current version 8 is working smoothly finally Syncing with NoteLife has been a pain from the start slow glitchy and fails at more than half the time Then one has to wipe the db and repair I just migrated to a new MBP and now it wont sync at all Tried it like 10 times        Sync needs work
After a couple of days of playing with this app along with the trial version of its companion application on my Mac I think Ive found the perfect notes solution Im not using MobileMe with it as MM has managed to duplicate my addresses everywhere although theres good info on Chronos site as to how to fix this Using just these two items the bidirectional sync has worked flawlessly over a dozen times It also imported all my Sticky Notes in a few seconds And if I ever need to move my notes to another application in the future the Mac app will output each note to an individual text file which I havent seen elsewhere All in all a great little app for notes                 Flawless
Have plenty of Backup Databases in SOHO Notes If you encounter problems in either SOHO Notes or NoteLife you can always go back and start fresh Yes these two programs SYNC fine but like all syncing software problems can arise I bet MANY of the sync problems people are facing are because of incorrectly configured Wireless Networks I have an Apple TimeCapsule and an Airport Express N for both my Mac iPhone Mac connects via wireless to TC and iPhone via AE which is networked via ethernet to the TC Im very very happy with these 2 Note syncing programs and use daily BTW NoteLife and SOHO Notes are the only programs which will SYNC FULLY ENCRYPTED NOTES CVB                 Backups
Should have read my first review below WHy do I keep on giving Chronos another chance This simply does not work I got it to sync once ONCE I have just spent the better part of two hours faffing around with this Reminds of the old days when you could dick with SCSI for hours on end finally blowing your brains out in frustration Put simply this DOES NOT SYNC RELIABLY WITH SOHONOTES This of course renders it USELESS DO NOT BUY YOU WILL REGRET IT When I think of all the upgrades I have paid Chronos As others have said potentially good products blighted by unreliability My First review I NEVER review apps maybe I should But this one peeved me so much I just had to Like a lot of people I had used Chronosnets StickyBrain now Soho Notes for years I thought I would buy this app to try on my iPad and my iPhone I have spent a good part of this afternoon trying to get a consistent result vis a vis synching Yes I rebooted my iPhone and my iPad I even restarted my iMac I tried numerous permutations but could not get it to synch routinely I was using Evernote but I wanted a change Well Im back to Evernote its free it saves your data in the cloud and it just plain works you dont even have to set up synching One other point which is really about Soho Notes I have never in all the iterations managed to post to a Wordpress blog using it Shame really because there is lots about Soho Notes thus NoteLife which I really like     DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY
Soho notes shows my iPod touch being paired and when I try to sync soho notes indicates the iPod or iPad are not paired           Cannot sync Soho notes 92 with note life 712
The two reasons I bought this app were the syncing and encryption of individual notes The syncing breaks every other time I use it requiring complete erase of the iPhone app and a restart Most often I have to delete the app and its data to get things back on track I have filed a ticket with Chronos but have yet to hear back from them Their support for this app leaves a lot to be desired The second problem is that as the size of the database increases I have 400 notes it becomes more fragile After adding one JPG and one MP4 video file the app refused to display either I strongly recommend you do NOT get this thing until Chronos fixes the sync and other problems with it     Do not buy this unless you have LOTS of time to sort out sync problems
While I agree that in the past Chronos easily won the Most Frustrating Company with a Great Product award Notelife now works without a hitch Syncing really couldnt be easier After looking at the competing Mac apps with a mobile component Chronos Notes with Notelife is a great duo For now Im anxiously awaiting a version for my iPad              Best solution so far
The database in the iPhone has always had problems with sync requiring the user to delete the iPhone database and resync from SOHOnotes Happened again after upgrade to iOS 7 Search function which was dependent on the nag bar at the bottom is totally gone so no way to search and SOHO does not expose their text to Spotlight on the iPhone fatal problem Ive used the app for years because converting my 850 notes would be a several hour job but there are no responses to inquiries on their website regarding NoteLife or SOHOnotes since November 2012 They have brought out other business card and calendar products but apparently NoteLife is orphaned     Still broken after iOS 702
I would really love to keep using Soho notes and notelife and not switch to evernote even though evernote offers free service but this app is making it hard to stay There are numerous updates that have to be made in order for this app combo to be worth the price If this app worked better with its desktop companion I would stay with them but as is I cannot recommend them as a pair As a stand alone app Soho notes is far Better then so it hurts that the mobile app note metadata and synching between the two are unsatisfactory        Im hoping for more features
I purchased this app for its nice features but found it buggy but the developers are not paying attention Security code dont work for me Crashes very often Come on guys we didnt pay u for the crappy an buggy stuff     Laziest developers plz fix issues
I really want to love NoteLife but the developers dont give it enough attention They make a variety of Mac products and it seems like they have fallen behind with this app In addition other note apps can now do things like numbered and bulleted lists as well as checkboxes and headers Can NoteLife Of course not If you have SOHO Notes for Mac this is a great companion app But this app as a stand alone app for note taking on iOS I highly recommend you find a more featured and more developed app This one isnt going anywhere These developers have sat around blaming Apple for the lack of cloud sync while other developers have worked and found other solutions so Ive long since abandoned Notelife        Forgotten
I love the integration It may not be intuitive to setup but I did it wo issue or directions the 1st time Right now I find it useful as a reference and simple note taking taking as a serious note taking device is limited by the smallness of the interface I have an iPad and would love to see utilization of the entire screen w the native iPad keyboard even w the app zoomed 2x its is insufficient              Good app tight integration where is iPad
After using the app for a while I experienced the same problems others are having Syncing sometimes duplicates entries the desktop app forgets the pairing and updates of both apps are slow in coming This could be a great app but Chronos doesnt seem to be able to focus their efforts on it or fixing bugs in SOHO Notes Its still a better solution than MacJournal mobile but buggy and in need of an easier to use and better looking interface for constant use 1 of my previous stars for the above 1 additional star for not working natively on the iPad which is pretty important for a note app ORIGINAL REVIEW While its not perfect this is the first reasonable solution to my problem with note taking apps I need something that has a desktop app for serious notes an iPhone app that can sync ALL of the information images etc and I absolutely need FOLDERS and SUBFOLDERS I dont know why so many apps make it easy to find your information through tags and search without forcing you to use folders For me and I realize not everyone thats like giving me a ladder and letting me get into my house through the bathroom window instead of walking through the front door My only real suggestions are to make the iPhone sync button on the desktop app be available on the toolbar and let me drag notes into different folders on the desktop The clicks it takes to get to sync are a bit annoying and for those who sync daily or more that could matter Also I didnt even need video or encrypted notes but what a nice surprise to find that available Please keep up the good work and dont ignore this app        Updating my review
This App has great potential Please add Reminder Push Notifications and MMS sending It also needs an automating insertion of media entries into the assigned folders instead of having to manually edit and allocate which folder we want to put the new entry into Great start           Great start Needs work
I use SoHo Notes on my Mac as a repository for all kinds of things that I dont want to lose I archive web pages store recipes news articles computer tips and tricks etc This app syncs with the Mac over WiFi and is terrific It lets me take my repository with me everywhere                 I love this app
They fixed the bug Thanks Took a bit too long to do it however at least from my point of view Now Im hoping the iPad version will come out soon My personal opinion is that Chronos has a lot of small not so useful apps theyve paid attention to before getting around to this one But they did finally fix it and it is a very smooth and useful app now that it works I would earnestly encourage them to not let bugs hang around so long in the future They have a very good app that gets a bad rap from people like me if it isnt fixed promptly That said Im back using it now and am pleased with its ease of use and broad range of note taking possibilities Wish list Please give us a full screen photo capability Obsolete below this line The current version has had a bug that essentially wont let you search and then edit a note on the iphone or ipad This makes the app virtually unusable Try finding yourself at the airport searching for the reservation confirmation number and having the app crash constantly Its worse than useless Its dangerous Its had this bug for 4 or more months The update for this one is at least 6 weeks away This update response is completely unacceptable The company has however updated various other of their apps that let you print a business card Wow Im really fed up with this company After repeated posts about a bug that crashes the program when a new note is searched still no joy I wish someone would come out with a program like this that is reliable They finally fixed that but waiting a full year before releasing an iPad version is sort of remarkable Makes one look for other options              Revised Nov 18 2010
Sync is still broken on this app The whats new section mentions bug fixes cant imagine Chronos overlooking this major bug When attempting to sync the app will knock the iPhone off the wireless network and eventually time out Once timed out one needs to completely erase iPhone database and start over BTW your notes on your laptop or desktop are now most likely duplicated It takes an incredible amount of time to attempt syncing only to fail It also appears to spawn multiple sync sessions without completing any of them Perhaps this app will work as a stand lone note app but will totally disappoint if you are looking to sync This really should be removed from the store until it functions Im really surprised Chronos released such a poor quality app There should be a rating icon that is NOT a star maybe a thumbs down for unacceptable or dont waste your money     Revised for current version
When NoteLife works it is EXCELLENT In fact if youre trying to decide between this product and Evernote note that NoteLife is much more fullfeatured than Evernote and NoteLife is a much better financial deal than Evernote because Evernote doesnt even let you look at your notes offline unless you PAY the Evernote people a monthly fee However Evernote has one advantage that NoteLife doesnt have it lets you perform syncs over a WAN instead of needing to be on the LAN to sync and therefore lets you access your notes via the web as well So unless you need WAN syncing NoteLife is the way to go And youll notice that NoteLife has DOZENS and DOZENS of important wonderful features that Evernote doesnt have at all However with each new NoteLife update there seems to be some new syncing problems or other problems that are introduced so you may want to avoid being the first person to update unless you like to live life on the edge Our big gripe is that we often have syncing problems either a MobileMe sync problem or an iPhone sync problem or some combination of the two We often find ourselves erasing our databases from scratch on all of our computers restoring from a backup and starting the sync process all over again Often times NoteLife will not see SOHO Notes until we restart our Mac Other times the SOHO Notes application will mysteriously uncheck the MobileMe Sync Notes preference for some odd reason which throws off our MobileMe syncing and ultimately our NoteLife syncing We always resolve the issue eventually sometimes it involves reverting to a backup copy When something goes wrong you only have one avenue for technical support send them an email and wait for their reply The online knowledgebase is very limited in its knowledge so email is typically the only route to go down This is okay for smaller issues but for bigger issues it would be so much better if there was an online discussion forum so you could search for solutions that others may have solved in the past In summary though even with all of these hassles NoteLife is still the best notetaking app on the iPhone and its Mac counterpart SOHO Notes is handsdown the best Mac notetaking app as well Unless Evernote catches up to NoteLife and SOHO Notes well be sticking with NoteLife and SOHO Notes              Overall a great product
This is everything Ive dreamed of in the perfect notetaking app for the iPhone and more It allows you to take notes in the form of text audio photo or video And if you buy the desktop app which is also amazing it will keep your desktop in sync with your iPhone Ive been looking for months for a great notetaking app that would do audio photo and video and would also keep everything organized in an infinite level of subfolders I didnt think one existed but finally decided to take a chance on this one So happy now Big sigh of relief                 Bliss
I have been using the Soho Notes desktop app in its different variations for close to ten years now I have years of notes in it and is vital to my daily work I was extremely happy with how Soho has represented their desktop app into a iPhone app It is well done It gives you a surprising amount of the same abilities as the desktop version in a straight forward way Syncing between the desktop and the iPhone cant be much easier If you use the desktop version and would like to take it out in the field this app will definitely do the job Money well spent                 Excellent App well worth it
The developers has been improving their app This version it sync super fast And they can teach many other developers how to sync their app Rock solid                 This App sync super fast now
Update June 2010 Cant use it in the house when my iMac is on because it syncs when you open it Why not an option to not sync Syncing is more reliable than previously but still goes berserk and creates duplicates Starts to sync but then stalls with no message When I later go to desktop see messages that it didnt recognize the iPhoneits the same iPhone Ive always had and the only one around with NoteLife Its been connected what 100 times and still losses track of it Ive written Chronos several time and have never heard from them NEVER Checking back here in Sept and see the app hasnt been updated since April And seeing new complaints of syncing problems Chronos where are you Earlier posting Syncing does not work reliably Initial upload does v14 fixed it temporarily but now back to multiple copies and failed syncs Wish Id read these other reviews before buying this product and upgrading Notes Ive now got 7 empty copies of each folder I have about 25 folders and apparently can only delete them one at a time with a multiple step process 175 folders and a two clicks and one drop down menu select This is very wrong Update I still have this problem if I try to sync but Im now using keyboard short cuts to make it faster Wait before using if you have many folders Updating after a month or somid January 2009 SOHO Notes v812 I can upload from iMac to iPhone that is if the NoteLife on the iPhone is erased But syncing later DOES NOT WORK EVER Where are you Chronos I also wish the sync would work with iTunes rather than wirelessly I assume this is Apples fault but why should I have to go through all the hoops to sync wirelessly But heres Chronos put on it wireless synchronization via WiFi is currently the only sync method This method is particularly convenient because you dont even have to connect your phone to your computer Yeh super convenient Why not offer an option for those who dont find this method convenient Spin spin spin Im wondering if others who rate this high are successfully syncing or theyve only tried the initial upload to their iPhone Too bad with all the complaints that Chronos hasnt seen fit to update or give their users some info I just submitted a Support request to Chronos Should I expect a menaningful reply 14 Jan 2009 I upgraded to Notes 8 to get syncing and Chronos has not delivered     Needs serious work
I have never had this app work correctly I bought it to go with the SOHO notes app on my computer and syncing has been a nightmare from the beginning None of the updates have fixed the problems Either I get duplicates or it WIPES OUT the data on my computer If you value your data dont buy this app     This app does not work
Well someone finally got to me about a week ago acknowledging my help ticket and the existence of the bug and apologized for the delay Said they were being slammed by support requests Today they released an update that fixed the bug that concerned me and now as a standalone note app it seems quite awesome in terms of an intuitive UI user interface and excellent feature set I havent yet bought the accompanying OSX program with which you sync as it is quite a bit more expensive and I want to be sure these developers are around for the long termarent going to flake out Id also like to see some more positive reviews in terms of syncing as it has apparently been a hassle for some Earlier Review 123110 Stay away for now Unfortunately I must add my voice to the growing chorus of warnings about this app Its a slick looking app well organized goodlooking icons great feature set and the only note app I know of that boasts both encryption and syncing However after messing around a little I discovered a reproducible bug which will without warning automatically encrypt a note And since you have no idea what the password is that note is gone forever They have a nice website at which you can log in and submit your help query and get a help ticket and wait for a response which will never come I see from other reviews that Im not alone in this no help response experience Makes one wonder a little about this company and what troubles heshethey may be experiencing First and foremost I hope all are well If so then I do hope they fix this app as it has great potential For now though I would only use it for unimportant note taking if at all              Pretty darn good
Sync worked great for a while and I had thought the issues posted here were fixed then suddenly encrypted files would be completely empty entire folders would be duplicated or just be gone To be clear these issues will occur on both your desktop and your phone and while there are backups I still lost a lot of data I would prefer a note solution that kept my data local but I wont be giving this another try        You will get burned
Just got a new iPad2 Did a restore from my original iPad normal procedure Sync NoteLife I now have 2 of everything in NoteLife and in Soho Notes These guys have shown over the years that they really arent too bright and dont maintain a very high level of quality UPDATE Ok it appears that Chronos has abandoned their products or is going out of business I contacted them a week ago and have yet to receive a response I guess it is time to move to Evernote     FAIL
First review Ive ever taken the time to write Very frustrated because I have wasted so much time trying to get this app to sync     awful sync is terrible
