It looks nice. I will give it that, but $5 bucks seems a little much for a notes app that can't sync across platforms as far as I can tell... not even iCloud.

Evernote, Springpad, Simplenote, and even Google Keep for iOS (when it is finally release) have syncing from the get go.

It seems to be very similar to Day One, which also costs $5 and is quite popular

Day One looks really exciting, but the reviews are really up in arms about a lack of encryption. Does anyone know more about this supposed issue?

Lack of encryption and lack of Google Drive support have held me back from using this as well. Let me know if you find out anything more.

I certainly don't see much reason to buy v1.0 for full price. Wait a month and see if the features improve or the price drops.

i predict that the price will not drop.

i predict that features will not improve.

i predict that another app will be released, at a similar price-point, with more features.

and then another one after that. and another.

in other words, i predict a well-executed plan to extract as much cash as possible from fans.

nothing wrong with that. if you can get away with it.
