Defter Notes for Android

Can’t wait for updates to improve this, its got a great start, want to see more features, but man I can finally use my Mobile and have my messy desk everywhere I go not just at the office

Update 1: I can’t share photos or screenshots directly from the share sheet When I click > share screenshot into defter, its nowhere to be found in the app. Update 2: Thank you for addressing the bug in my last review, the app has been very stable since its last update. But here’s a short list of features I’d like to see implemented: - Ability to rescale handwritten text - Line and shape recognition for Google Pencil - Adding cover-images to folder - multi-window support

Please do not get me wrong here! This is a great product with some amazing potential for the future with the current, as of this writing, version being so low. I love the concept of the “desktop with file folders nested inside of each other. I like the concept of moving papers and pdfs around within these folder and on the desktop and all the capabilities within that realm that are already there. This is a really cool! For me, unfortunately, it has a few MAJOR flaws and has some missing features that make it more of a “cool tool” than a real productive one. Some of the missing features seem to me to be pretty basic features that I thought would logically be present. Here is a list that I came up with within just a coupld of hours of using it, I am a newbie to this, so forgive me if I just simply have not found the features yet. 1. The eraser tool can not be individually sized?! It seems to be sized to the size of the other tools, which means the individual tools can not be sized differently, makes no sense. 2. The handwriting recognition is AWEFUL!! Am I doing something wrong here? 3. Should be able to select a textbox and resize all contents, not just the text-box itself, instead of having to select the text first. 4. Text formatting is pretty lacking; i.e. no numbering lists, bullet lists, paragraph formatting, line spacing, indentation, etc. 5. When an element is selected, by double tapping, I should not have to hold on it in order to move it, this is very awkward and not intuitive. 6. Where are the “settings”? Am I missing them somewhere, or is there simply no global settings? 7. Selecting text is a very frustrating experience. 8. Highlights should be IN BACK of the text being highlighted and not fade the text. Again, this is a tool in its early stages so I don’t want to come across as too negative, I am still excited to see where this tool goes. I really like the ability to pull pages out fo a pdf and regroup them into another stack and then export or print that stack. Very cool! It’s all very visual and that’s what I like. Anyway, I would recommend it, but not for anyone looking for a serious productivity tool right now. Stick with Goodnotes, Evernote, or the like. This one may grow into competition for them, but right now it lacks the dynamics to do so. I have high hopes for this product and hope it will be like wine and get better with age and updates!

As it is, the workspace is incredibly useful and functional. But the most exciting thing is how rapidly it’s being developed. The discord is really active about what features to add next, and any bugs or issues get squashed quickly. This is also a small 2 person dev team who seem very keen on listening to their users. Highly recommend!

I really like how the interface gets out your way on this app, I feel like I am working on desk with an infinite filing cabinet. This app is like a well thought out hybrid of Sling Notes (sadly no longer available) and Corkulous. The ability to export any asset and/or complete note space to PDF is fantastic. The stacking feature is great for page collections and PDFs imported from my Concepts, GoodNotes and Notability notebooks and the web, allowing specific collection and reorganization in a free-form way. Looking forward to options for “bring your own” external cloud backup and syncing. The fact this doesn’t require use of a forced cloud service like Muse, is what makes this program a gem and makes me feel in control of my data, without a subscription. I hope the developers continue to improve this app as it could easily become the next “Must Have” for Mobile.
