User reviews

Unintuitive UI with limited features in comparison to similar note taking apps. The user experience is nowhere near on the same level as other apps like Jamworks. I didn't find this app enjoyable to use at all. Edit: It's not just about features, but the UX in general. You might find it helpful to spend more time on discovery and design to optimise your app instead of asking reviewers to give you the answers.

The app on the phone keeps freezing up!

It's a pity that it doesn't have the same functionality as the web site such as the quiz and outline. It would be really handy if you could just run through a quiz when you have five minutes.
