### "I'm Amazed"

November 6, 2023

5.0

Pros

Notejoy was a software I was unsure to use, but after giving it a chance, I realized it's really valid to use. It surely may seem a bit off at first, especially if you used to use different softwares, but once you're used to it, it's really an amazing experience to use it.

Cons

At first I was a bit overwhelmed since I didn't understand every fuction properly, I would suggest to try it for a while and understand how everything works before to use it on important tasks.

### "Note Joy - Portable Notebook"

February 12, 2019

4.0

Overall, I am impressed with notejoy's performance and it's built-in functions. It helps me in safekeeping of my notes and also it help me communicate with my clients with ease.

Pros

What I like most about Note Joy is its portability. With its features you can bring your notes anywhere and access it throughout your devices. Also, it is easy to collaborate with your team when you are doing a project. It gives you freedom to take down notes and don't have to worry if it will be lost.

Cons

The least I liked about Note Joy is that it has less functions. Like I can't draw in the notes.

### "Notejoy - to make a personal note or share with office. "

August 14, 2018

3.0

It was well to use. At first, I also faced problems on how to use this software question. With time learned all features. Over all this one is good to use with best time expences.

Pros

To make a document type notes quickly and to share the personal or General notes with the Viewer easily. Here one feature is, the user can provide accessibility to the other users on the note that is a really cool feature. By the feature, we can easily point out who can edit or moderate or view. To compare to others software this one is the best to use.

Cons

Almost all features are good to use but one thing I must say - for the new users it's not easy to understand all those features which are helpful. So I will say tutorial should be easy for new upcoming users.

### "cool, but not sure about the business use case"

May 21, 2018

4.0

Pros

It's a very capable WYSIWYG team note taking app, rivaling yet still staying well clear of being a full-fledged word processor by providing only two HTML heading styles and no typeface/font choices -- in many ways a good thing, because excessive formatting capabilities can get in the way of doing the actual work of writing things down.

Cons

It doesn't give ANY control over typeface or default font, though you can use the zoom capabilities on the view menu of the desktop app or of your browser to change the size of the display. Also, it's hard to understand where this app fits into the business world, especially because it allows embedding of Google and Microsoft documents -- if you have those things already (especially Office 365 in the case of Microsoft), would you really turn to an external app when Google Docs (and Sheets and Slides, etc.) are already part of your world? Unlike an online whiteboard app, for instance, a passable (if somewhat pale) substitute for Notejoy already exists in your office software suite. I'm currently using it with friends whom I no longer work with, so Google Docs is less of an obvious option, and in this case Notejoy truly provides a capability that makes more sense than what we already had easily available, because it's a single location rather than having to share individual Google docs from personal accounts to a random (from Google's point of view) group of Gmail users.

### "Collaboration and Taking Notes Made Easy!"

February 10, 2022

4.0

Pros

Collaborative note and sharing made easy. Easy to write, format and share the notes, just on a click and easily accessible from anywhere with important integrations.

Cons

off lately the app is lagging a lot and constant lagging and delay in syncing makes difficult to write and share the notes with the collaborator.

### "Great app for note taking"

May 21, 2018

4.0

For me it was a change for good from other note taking apps such as google Keep or evernote. Also it's built on the purpose of sharing. Although I use it on a more personal note, i love that it is way faster than evernote, and also that the tech support team is always there. I wrote about a new functionality (being able to create tables) and the CEO answered me! not only that, but they told me about their roadmap and releases, which for me was very helpful.

Pros

I like that it's easy to take notes, organize your files. It's a faster version of Evernote, and a lot snappier. I enjoy most of it's functions, specially that you can copy paste almost any kind of file. It's also very fast compared to other note taking apps

Cons

If you're offline, it won't work. I don't know if it's a bug or if it's something they plan on resolving, but it's as annoying as google docs when you're offline. Sometimes I want to check my notes while on the plane or simply right something while being offline, with Notejoy you can't do that yet.

### "Collaborating Made Easy"

April 25, 2019

5.0

Pros

Allows our whole team to collaborate on projects despite being in different parts of the country and on different schedules. Can often be difficult for us to coordinate meeting times, so we use Notejoy to share important updates along our project team. Really great resource to use instead of Evernote or Google Docs even. Love the mobile compatibility as well.

Cons

Gets slightly pricey as a software as you look to build out across the company. Currently have Notejoy centralized with just our team at the present.

### "Notejoy is great for organising your ideas!"

December 6, 2019

5.0

Notejoy is a fantastic tool for project management and organising your ideas. You can add tags to help you find things easily and categorise projects. It's safe and secure in your own space so you can login from anywhere and access your notes as and when you need to. It's lovely to use and I've found it really helpful.

Pros

I love Notejoy for organising my ideas. Although you can use it to collaborate and share notes with your team, I use it on my own for organising ideas and will be using it for assembling important information for various projects. It comes with helpful "welcome" notes which show you where everything is. The dashboard is friendly to use so you can dive straight in. It's a really helpful tool which you can use everyday or to organise project notes in work sprints.

Cons

There really isn't anything I dislike about this software, it's great to use and you get peace of mind that it will keep your notes safely filed for when you need to find them easily.

### "One of my most important tools right from the start"

September 6, 2018

5.0

With an included chat function I often communicate with my team members. Many use cases I formerly did with Google Docs now I am doing with Notejoy. In my case I bought the encrypted version of Notejoy. So no one knows what I am working on... ;-)

Pros

NoteJoy is the perfect solution for you, when you want all your ideas, knowledge, your PDFs and so on in one place. You can cooperate with, in my case, up to ten people that also have potentially all possibilities (writing, storing, editing, deleting, viewing) and, as much as I know, unlimited people which can view what you want to share.

Cons

I do not see cons with this software. Maybe one: On one day a document on which I was working was not saved automatically. But not out of the blue: There was an error message which I totally ignored...

### "The Joy of Notejoy"

December 20, 2018

4.0

My experience with Notejoy really is turning out to be a “joyful” experience. I was a long-time, heavy Evernote user, but its bloat and expense finally became too much for me. So far, Notejoy seems just right—and I am enjoying it more than other alternatives.

Pros

Notejoy is relatively new, but it seems like a winner, with very responsive customer support, a willingness to integrate customer feedback and suggested features into their product cycle, and an already very capable cloud-based notes application, down the same road as Evernote, OneNote, and others. It offers a little more structure and organization than some of its competitors, which can be especially attractive if you are new to this market and haven’t yet determined your best use case.

Cons

There are happy little quirks in Notejoy that make it unlike other software in this market, but your mileage may vary along with your level of delight for some of its features. For example, as of its current version, you can drag and drop files into the app—but they have to go inside a “note.” These kinds of choices aren’t necessarily bad—I’ve come to think of these note titles as I might a kind of “file folder” in another context—but they can be surprising and, at first, a tad maddening.

### "A tool that makes teamwork feel easy. "

July 27, 2018

5.0

Team Alignment, Productivity

Pros

This is such an amazing collaborative tool. We have started to use this to document our internal processes, training materials, daily updates, and meeting notes all in one app. Notejoy is kind of like Evernote, but with add-ons to facilitate collaboration. It has note-taking/sharing abilities with real-time editing like with google docs. This has enabled us to cut a lot of communication overhead within the team. Notes can be neatly organized in folders and the tool has great access control features enabling access to only authorized team members. I also use this for a lot of my personal notes. The tool also integrates well with Trello which makes it possible to track detailed project requirements, so Notejoy helps Trello look good!

Cons

The software does not support the addition of tables just yet, but I do know it is on their roadmap. It's an evolving product, but really fast and their team is super responsive. I am hopeful they will be addressing this very soon!

### "Great, I've slowly migrated from Evernote to Notejoy"

May 16, 2018

4.0

Pros

Great UI with lots of instant gratifications that offer user delight. The sharing functionality is much more intuitive than Evernote.

Cons

Not having a desktop native app makes me still rely on Evernote for certain documents because of the ease of access. I'd also like to see collaborative interactions with the doc a bit more surfaced (e.g. who's viewing this doc, comments on specific lines in the doc, currently, it's hidden behind icons)

### "Central repository for all my team's documentation!"

June 21, 2018

4.0

Collaboration, Transparency, Knowledge management

Pros

For someone whose team relied on google docs as a means to share team notes, NoteJoy has been a blessing in disguise! Getting organized as a team was nothing short of frustrating before NoteJoy came along. With Notejoy, we now have a single, well-organized place to collaborate, store, and share knowledge. The tool allows us real-time editing by multiple users, it has slack integration, and also notifies us about who has viewed/added to documents.

Cons

Sometimes the live revision history seems like too much overkill for documents that are undergoing frequent changes. Although my small team of 4 is using Notejoy actively, sadly there is low buy in from other teams.

### "Neat note editor for focused individual and collaborative note taking"

May 21, 2018

5.0

An easy to use interface to quickly write down my ideas, keep them organized, and shared them with the people I need to

Pros

The UX is very friendly and neat, not clumsy like other text editors. Easy to organize your notes and quickly jot down some thoughts, and then share them with your team (or even your spouse, as I do). The team behind and the support team are very nice and open to suggestions, so the product is becoming more and more what users really need.

Cons

The Android app is still under development, but I'm sure it'll be great when it comes out. They are also adding new features all the time, so the few features that Notejoy still needs (like offline editing, or note linking) will be added soon.

### "Great collaboration tool, we use notejoy for ideation, design thinking and brainstorming meeting"

May 21, 2018

4.0

We use notejoy for collaborative, creative and ideation sessions. We crowdsource (within our team) input and share notes among our project staff. Notejoy is a useful tool to use as data repository for notes, presentation and project documentation.

Pros

Notejoy is seamless i.e. no steep learning curve nor onboarding required. The free version comes with many collaboration features and very intuitive user interface. Invitation of new team members, role and authority management is very easy to use.

Cons

Several interruptions (an error message populates with mentions 'off-line') and sync issues when multiple users work a document.

### "Intuitive note taking tool for everyday use"

June 6, 2018

4.0

Fast and easy to use. Little to no learning curve so it benefits a huge team when implemented in a company or division.

Pros

I like Notejoy's user interface, easy to use and very intuitive. I can check all of my notes at one glance and is my go-to tool for my day to day activities.

Cons

Maybe I suggest they get a mobile application in partnership with their browser-based tool. It would be nice to write notes on the go and sync with the cloud.

### "Meanly nothing to say, Notejoy is a great tool for my productivity!"

May 15, 2018

4.0

A lot of productivity, I repeat my self but so true!

Pros

Instantaneity! Everything is smooth! We can collaborate very easily, and see each other's changes in an instant. Checkboxes, images, text formatting everything's here! :-)

Cons

Minor bugs at reconnection when I lost internet, and I'm waiting for my Linux client! Ahah ;-) Not a thing I like least, perhaps more a suggestion: should be really, really great to have an history of changes, like maybe the date a checkbox was filled!

### "Note Taking Made Easy"

September 3, 2019

5.0

Taking notes for n=meetings, storing notes digitally, organizing day-to-day tasks.

Pros

I am an avid note taker and Notejoy is a great way to take notes, organize thoughts or just quickly jot down an idea you had. It seamlessly help you keep track of all your day-to-day jobs.

Cons

Lacking basic functions - bolding, italicizing, etc. but I am sure those are soon to come features since most users need things like that.

May 21, 2018

4.0

Pros

I like how easy it is to create a project and share it with selected team members. You can also create several different projects and collaborate with different people.

Cons

Based on my experience, Notejoy could add the ability to attach tags for notes and projects. Tags would make it easier to organize notes from different team members that belong to a similar project.

Pros

Web and desktop apps are clean and fast, love the support for rich media and attachments right in the note (instead of clunky linking e.g. in GDocs)

Cons

Offline access so I can write notes and sync them later, markdown support so I can write md-formatted docs (e.g. blog posts)

May 21, 2018

3.0

Pros

Simple, straight note taking software, nothing new, nothing wrong with it. Good to have export from Google Drive.

Cons

there is no point in working with it, extremely similar to everything else out there while limited only to Slack integration. Also - when it was released to the public - couldn't find "export" function, Still can't find it. Means I will never use such software. I think I wrote to the authors right after they open Notejoy - there is simplenote.com as example. Simpler, friendlier, cheaper to sustain (and it means it won't close in near future). Easy to publish, share OR download all your notes in one archive.

May 21, 2018

Pros

We love that we can access the notes anywhere and every time someone makes an edit, the whole team will get the edit version.

Cons

Not sure if there is an APP for it but right now I have to login the website to access the notes. Would be nice if there is an app where I can access on the mobile phone.
