PAOLO TRAMANNONI I've been using NoteBook for years, and it manages my university lessons, my outlines, and my planning very well. It can be very easy to use (and looks very easy to the eye!), but can also become a very sophisticated app if needed. There are still some oddities here and there (like the fact you cannot edit dates of the results of a SuperFind page), but the developers slowly address them. Also, bugs are fixed rather quickly. A very nice buy, if you are after a way of organizing things, and having them immediately indexed and filtered through several different methods.

JEFFP I have been using notebook for several years and it does have many strengths. It is frustrating because this is a good program that with a little focus from the developers could be a great or "must have" program. The developers do come out with regular updates but they never seem to fix the issues with the user interaction. the program does not play well with spaces and never has. AFAIK the devs have chosen not to address this problem the program does not save your changes automatically, instead you have to go into preferences and make trade off choices on how the program will auto save. In spite of the regular updates the program has annoying bugs which persist from release to release. Don't get me wrong, i do use this program everyday but this is a program with an outdated UI and in consideration of what it could be that annoys me. I am not actively looking for a replacement but I am looking out of the corner of my eye for one..

HOBOJOE I completely agree with JeffP. With some polish, Notebook would indeed be fantastic. As it is now, it's sticking way too closely to the whole "notebook" idiom. Yeah, some of the little flourishes are cute, but I'd much rather have function over form. The app boasts a lot of features, but when you actually start using CP Notebook, you soon realize everything's a little kludgy. The best example is the drawing functionality. Yes, I'm glad it's there, but I hate having to go into this alternate mode to use it, and having to struggle with alignment should I go back and insert something earlier on the page. The long-promised table function is supposedly due to arrive soon, a year after it was promised, so we'll see how things progress from there. I do use NB practically every day, and it is a good program. But again, it's that it could be so much better.

ERIC DURBROW Still unable to upload large notebooks to MobileMe or save large notebooks as html/website. Anyone else successfully using this app to update and upload large notebooks? Perhaps AquaMind NoteTaker is better for this....

SHMK I love this app! I have had such a hard time finding a decent way of organizing all my files and data. I have a wide range of file formats (audio, pdf, image etc) that might pertain to a particular subject and this is perfect for depositing all that info into a singular source. I love the fact that the attachments are contained within the actual notebook and not in some proprietary database/folder in the Application Support folder. My only request would be that said attachments could be encrypted as well. At this moment all one has to do is right click >show package contents and all the attachments are there to see. The clipping service is great too saves a heck of a lot of copy and pasting between programs when doing research. The multidex is a great way of sorting through your stack of information once it has been collated and the ease in which data can be reorganization is top notch.

DR. GIRLFRIEND For the love of all that is good and holy, please add the option for the user to change the blinding white background page! I paid for this thing; I'd really like to use it without searing my retinas. There are a few choices under the page inspector, but I don't care for any of them. How hard would it be to let the user choose their own background color and set that as default for all subsequent pages?

KADAMS9181 Notebook now doesn't show up in the contextual menu Services in Snow Leopard. You can't 'clip' to a document from Safari like you could in Leopard.

SBCHAVEL This is a SnowLeopard-wide problem.

SAMPLER Following my negative review in October, 2008, I decided to give NB 3.0 an extensive trial and purchased a license. I find it still has the same linking issues that I described in my previous review. I'm giving up and would like to transfer the license to someone else. If you are interested, please contact me at the email address contained on my MU User Page.
