Noted - Record, Transcribe

It’s a joy to use this application. This Noted iOS app puts audio notes front and center and makes the audio location explicit and easy to jump back to. I can listen to my audio books, annotate them and easily find the interesting sections again later. And when listening to a recording again, I can now finally see my previous notes and edit them as necessary or add anything missing. Let’s just hope that this app will be further improved and supported for many years, which sadly doesn’t seem to be the norm with mobile apps of this category. A missing feature that I cannot live without is audio controls on lock screen (rewind/fast-forward by x seconds)

I truly believe this app is the perfect app for anyone in school or who is in a professional atmosphere where note taking is important- honestly you could even expand that to include anyone, using this app to organize their day to day life in general. I love how organized you can be, recordings, text notes, pictures all set into specific notebooks. There was an issue I had where I had accidentally placed my recordings from one of my notebooks into the “archives” and I could no longer share them with my classmates or continue to use them in the way I had been. I could not for the life of me figure out how to move them back into the folder I had intended them to be in, so I sent an email to support and they got right back to me explaining how to fix the issue! I was very impressed to say the least:)

I recently download the Noted app. Tried it at church on Easter Sunday, 4-1-18 and and was pleased even though it requires some additional practice to fully understand the features. On Sunday 4-8-18 I tried using it again to record and take notes at a conference. It seemed to work, but then later it disappeared. Actually both of the notes/recording disappeared. Then Yesterday they reappeared. Now today they disappeared again. Frustrated I tried to find support. Went back to the App Store found “?” which led me to a promotional site, which was no help at all. I am now asking where are my notebooks and where is the support for this app. I will be glad to update my rating and my review when I get answers and hopefully my notes and recording back. Bert

As a college student using this as my lecture notebook for multiple classes I have found that there is a lot that this app can and can’t do. You can gracefully drop screenshots into your notes, easily review lecture notes and audio, and scroll between different subjects very quickly. The best feature is having all your notes together in one convenient place! But as I continue to use the app more I wish that it could do more things like change font types and colors, insert PDFs, and allow you to format your notes in any different way than everything to the right. I plan to continue using my subscription but I hope there will be an update that will allow me to do those things!

And very knowledgeable, personal, prompt customer support. I am not a techie, but I do rely on my iPad to be my do all. Noted fits everything I want in a lecture recording/note taking app - it is simple to run, simple to reference, complete re-play of the lectures, and I can print or use my pencil taking notes. It is sophisticated app. When I did have problems opening the app, customer support was quick to diagnose the problem and update the app. Everything is backed up in iCloud, so no worries if things go really wrong. I would recommend the subscription; for just a few dollars, I get no worries and great lecture review ability. - Dr. J. Osborn
