"Synchronize all your notes and notebooks across devices and to the cloud" .. Whose cloud? Where are the servers? We only have their word that they're not monetising the data. The front-end of the website indicates that these people specialise in analytics.

The question is: how can this be free… the answer could help me to try this app… or not.

Very good, sympathetic app. For me Evernote, OneNote etc. have too many bells and whistles, while I find SimpleNote, my notation app until now, just a bit too basic. Zoho's Notebook falls nicely in between, providing me with a great companion for syncing several kinds of data between my Mac and my Android. Big thank you to the developers for the app, the playful design and for making it free.

Now, with Version 3 and the awesome Safari web-clipper, Notebook has replaced Evernote, Bear and Pocket. For a free app, this is amazing. Unlike other competitors which have a crippled free version and a 'pro' subscription version, with Notebook the free version is the pro version.

This is a great Evernote replacement, now that Evernote's pricing system is getting increasingly expensive. It's free and, especially now with version 2, it does everything I want in a Notebook application. The only reason I'm docking it half a star is because the web clipper is currently Chrome only. But for $90 a year vs free, I'll take free.
