![]() I hope that the developer can add a word count in addition to it, or at least allow you to switch back and forth between them. Notebooks 7 also includes a live character count in the top right corner, but for some reason, it does not include a word count. Under the more button, you can insert links, add a photo directly to the document, include a timestamp, and even include your device’s current geolocation information. It features indenting, commonly used punctuation characters, cursor movers, and a “more” button. This extension is a bit less powerful than others I’ve come across so far, but it should suffice for most. When you are writing in Notebooks 7, you will get a keyboard extension atop the normal keyboard (even if you are using an external keyboard with your iPad). You can also batch move, delete, sync, or process. ![]() The options here will include turning it into a task list, as well as various viewing and formatting options. There is also in-document search if you need to find specific keywords.įor each notebook or list, you can tap on the “i” button to view information about it, and customize the individual book or document settings. No matter which view you’re in, you can change the sorting of documents and books to be alphabetical, or sort by creation or modification date, or even custom. And when you are in a book, you can add as many sub-books as well, in case you need maximum organization and efficiency. When you create a new book, you have the option of turning it into a task list as well. That’s quite a lot of options available from a single app, making this worth the money if you want to consolidate everything. From the app description, here is what it combines: text editor and note taker, word processor, Markdown composer, HTML to Markdown converter, task manager, file storage and organizer, voice recorder, clipboard manager, PDF converter, and eBook creator. If you really think about it, Notebooks 7 combines a ton of different types of apps into one for convenience, and it does it quite well. If you tap on the “+” button in the top right corner, a menu will pop up with seven options: New Book, Plain Text Note, Formatted Document, Markdown, New from Pasteboard, Add Photo/Movie, and Voice Memo. The app will come with three documents to help you get started, and it’s recommended to take a look at them if you’ve never used the app before. The main view of Notebooks 7 will be the Notebooks list, where you can see your current books and documents. As I mentioned, there are a lot of options available, and since everyone has a different workflow, I’m sure that there is enough customization to satisfy most (if not all) of your needs. By default, a lot of the options are not on, and you need to go through each menu to toggle what you need, such as automatic syncing, Markdown preview, document styles, and much more. You also have the option to mark unsynchronized items to make it easier to see what is in the cloud or not.īefore you really dive in to Notebooks 7, I would recommend going through each of the categories in the settings. The Import, Export, Sync menu gives you five syncing options: Wi-Fi, Dropbox, WebDAV, iTunes Export, and SyncDocs. There are a lot of customizable options in the Settings, so there is a lot of tweaking that needs to be done before Notebooks 7 will work the way you want it to. The first thing I looked for was syncing solutions, which can be found in the Settings (cog button). However, since I’ve not used the app before, I’m starting from a clean slate. If you were a user of Notebooks 6, then there is a way to migrate your data from the old app to this new one. Notebooks 7 is the latest version (but new app) of Notebooks 6. I’ve been giving it a test run myself, and while I don’t think I will be switching to it full time, it’s definitely a nice option to have available. ![]() The option for people who want an all-in-one solution for everything is an app such as Notebooks 7. Of course, this means I have a bunch of apps that are all very similar to each other, and this doesn’t appeal to everyone. ![]() I’m a fan of keeping all of my writings separate, with apps that are purposely designed for one thing and does it well. If you don’t like the idea of using separate apps, like Reminders, Day One, Byword, and Pages for your needs, then Notebooks 7 could be the answer you’re looking for. Notebooks 7 ($9.99) by Alfons Schmid wants to be your all-in-one app for writing and even tasks.
