Wanted: Notes app that works with Dropbox

Syncblaze - An Alternative

We have been using Notes along with a solution that is similar to Dropbox. Its called Syncblaze from Vembu. The solution basically focuses on business needs rather than at a consumer level. Their consumer edition is called Zukmo. May be you can give them a try.

 

I found one the other night that sounds like what you are looking for. The "Notability" app was $0.99 and does everything you are looking for. I currently have all my school notes and reports synced through Dropbox.. It will take dictation and allow handwritten notes. You can even insert pictues into your notes too.

GoodNotes, by far my favorite note-taking app.

 

So does that cause an actual problem?? Or just unnecessary without a problem?

 

Penultimate is the best

 

+1 notability

 

Ghostwriter Notes does all of this and automatic sync to Dropbox.

 

I like Noteshelf. It'll save handwritten notes to DropBox (or email, Evernote, iTunes and a couple others) as PDFs or JPEGs, has keyboard input and emoji options, lots of different types of "paper" and a great user interface. It'll work with the iPad 3's speech-to-text feature.

It does not, however, have audio recording ability and I don't think you can specify which folder to save to -- I think they go in to a Noteshelf folder it makes on DropBox.

But it's what I use.

 

Yes it also does keyboard input, import PDF, export to email, export to Evernote, highlight, annotate, take pictures, import pictures, and am sure I'm missing other features.

 

I picked up Notability several months ago, it was on sale for $0.99 (_might_ have been $1.99). I use it quite a bit and really like it, handles several different input modes, syncs, great files organization, etc.

I’ve used it to jot down notes, sketch up initial designs/architecture, visualize thoughts, really all sorts of uses.

Are you sure about the ZIP containers? I’m using DB>>PDF sync and the docs are showing in DB (using the OSX app) as their normal native PDF format.

FYI, if you download multiple items through DropBox’s web interface, it bundles them up into a single ZIP, not sure if that’s what you’re seeing[?]

 

I had tried many notes apps, found myself using Notes Plus.
Perhaps worth checking out...

 

Notability just got an excellent update, including a number of nice visual/graphic improvements for the iPad 3rd gen. I just used it to sign an NDA, worked beautifully!

 

Notability is excellent IMO. I think 7Notes HD will also do what you want, and as far as I know it's the only app that does hand writing to text conversion.
