DEVONthink To Go 3 for Negative User Reviews

Don’t upgrade yetThis release is so buggy. CloudKit sync is a piece of junk. The developers really should have waited to release this instead of making all of us be their Beta Testers. The sad part is their forums are full of comments from their devs like “we can’t replicate the issue you are experience” yet there are hundreds of people saying they are getting CloudKit errors and invalid encryption key errors. Really worrisome, but I have hope that they fix things soon. It kind of reminds me when they released devonthink 3 for the Mac. There were a bunch of features missing from version 2, finally after about 6 months everything was back to normal. It has gotten slightly better since then..Version: 3.0.2

Constantly have to uninstall/reinstallAfter almost every update that’s pushed out The app crashes on launch. I’ve found the only way to resolve is by deleting the app and reinstalling. Major pain to do that and re-configure every time!.Version: 3.2

Diversity in usability?I have used Devonthink on all my devices for 4 years. In the past I utilized the database to organize my files, not just documents. I have 30 years of purchased software to organize, yet, Devonthink has chosen to prevent me from using the database to organize these files. I use Devonthink to organize everything since I can compartmentalize my files however limits on file types prevent me from organizing my diverse datasets and wastes my precious time. Please open up to more diverse files!.Version: 3.3.1

I think it is good??Do not buy this software from you phone or iPad, if you applied is not a working email!!! If you want to buy it do so from a computer. Their billing / account logic is troubled when purchasing from a phone or ipad and will kick you out, they do not seem to capture email addresses correctly..Version: 3.6.4

UselessCompare to desktop version it is pretty useless ...Version: 3.8

Crashes IntermittentlyI have used Devonthink for Mac for years in an engineering context and I was initially interested when the app came to iPad. Sadly the iPad app has stability problems. Version 2 used to crash unexpectedly when just noodling around after a few minutes of work and had done so for years. Even sadder, the current version does the same for me - well actually it seems to crash VERY effectively. I would not like to have to rely on it in a work situation. To add insult to injury - the icon has sadly lost its devonian period appeal since the last version - and adopted the flat boring style that seems to be prevalent today..Version: 3.0.6

Beware, here be fierce supporters!I've _tried_ to like Devonthink products for years now actually. It's a pretty price too though it's beginning to feel like they should be paying me. There are SO many bugs and inconsistencies with the product, as if the devs are learning Swift as they go. I have previously interacted with the devs and the community (forums) and the responses are often very fast, but without real solutions but instead just workarounds. There is a OH so hardcore community behind Devonthink products, as if they've sailed the rough seas and learned to live with the workarounds and stability issues, never daring to step outside to checkout other more reliable options. I'm all for product evolution but this ones so very far from ready (years!). Barely keeping up with iOS updates. Share something to it, good luck if you find it where it should be. Share something from it, make sure you check where and what it shared because it's likely a dead end bookmark only leading back to Devonthink; an x-devonthink-item:// link that's useless unless you still have Devonthink installed. I. Do not..Version: 3.5.4

Learning to fly a kiteI can’t for the life of me figure out how to get this to work. It’s as though I’m learning to fly a kite, I look around and everyone seems to love the experience. With a bit of dedication I can usually get it going, but soon after it stops and I have to try again. Maybe it gets easier with practice, but I don’t think it should be this difficult to get it working and syncing up with my computer in the first place. Far from seamless..Version: 3.5.5

I want this to work, but it doesn’t.The app keeps crashing when I try to create new items. I can’t contact their helpdesk via email because it keeps trying to open up a mail app that I don’t have and I don’t want and I won’t use. So I am deleting this app and deleting my subscription..Version: 3.1

Don’t like paying twice for the same appI bought this some time ago and Very disappointed to see a subscription model.Version: 3.0.6

Not a major update!I don't understand why Devonthink 2 users should pay 20$ for Dark mode and very minor changes!.Version: 3.0.3

Unrelenting Sync Issues - AvoidHave been using DT 3 to go for years major sync issues experienced. Very frustrating. Customer service stinks. They can’t figure out what’s happening. All they can do is tell you to try at least six different work around - all of which don’t work..Version: 3.3.4

Syncing Not WorkingSyncing has been broken for a long time. Please fix it. Please place automatic syncing in the background that pushes changes to the cloud storage option that is being used. Many times, I have added a document on one device, SYNCED it, and later found out that it never completed the sync because even after pulling to refresh and waiting until ALL of the syncing messages scrolled by at the bottom of the screen. Revamp syncing PLEASE.Version: 3.2

A poor reflection of the Mac appSlow, unresponsive, and buggy this app is barely useable..Version: 3.1.3

Complete waste of timeThere is no information on pricing until you spend your time downloading and installing the app. It takes you through an useless introductory screen, then you have to buy it or take out a subscription to get any further. So I have wasted my time installing it and then wasted some more time uninstalling it. Devs - why can’t you just tell us the prices in the app description? Why make people jump through these stupid hoops to get this essential information?.Version: 3.5.1

Constant crashes on editorUnable to take notes as on each crash it will delete the unsaved note data. Trying to add a period by pressing twice the space seems to trigger the crash. In addition, trying to import a screenshot from the text during the crash, only gets an empty image. Very dangerous and unreliable for an app that is used for work..Version: 3.6.3

Crash too often!I love DEVONthink and purchased both Mac and iOS version. Having DEVONthink running on both devices is a great experience, however, with the latest update, iOS version is not useable, always crash! When you leave the app for over a few seconds, it is just crash! Please fix the bug!!!.Version: 3.7.2

Buggy!Just like an untested beta product. The app swallowed 30% of the power in less than two hours (1h 19m on screen and 39m in the background) with lags and heating during operation, just like playing a 3d game. Besides, the display of none-English formatted text file is all garbled only on mobile. Also,the navigation bar text and the title always get overlapped. As I am using my private webdav for sync, the toast errors that the document cannot be downloaded are ordinary, this rarely happened in the previous version..Version: 3.0.4

Need to iron out the bugI get how powerful it can be, but v3 still appears to be buggy. The search does not seem to work as I expect, which is returning me the results within a PDF document and highlighting the terms. Not sure what I missing, but I don’t think it should be rocket science. Hoping several improvements are made, to make it as powerful as people talk about.Version: 3.0.3

MehAfter waiting a long, long time for a significant update to DTTG 2.x, we got this. UI is still terrible. What’s up with the tiny text entry area when creating a new note? Take a clue from, I dunno, every single note-taking app out there and give me a full screen note area with a proper formatting bar. Still imposes bizarre artificial constraints on files. Ex: a 900kb RTFD file that displays fine in DT3 on my Mac won’t even download in DTTG3.x. It isn’t an iOS limitation, because Keep-It and Notebooks can display it just fine. Write a lot in Markdown? The default markdown style sheet that you select in DT3 doesn’t transfer to DTTG. So, once again the mobile app is a 3rd class citizen. That’s fine if mobile is an afterthought for you too but if you do a lot of work on an iPad or iPhone, there are better choices out there..Version: 3.0.5

Steep Learning CurvePowerful App but how to set it up so that it sync’s across your devices I find to be extremely difficult. It’s not like the Drafts app where you install it and it just works. Right now in the pain part of learning a new app. The price you have to pay when learning an app as powerful as this one. It would be great if the install process would ask you a few questions and set up a set of databases for you to use while getting started..Version: 3.3.4

Not as good as the last versionNo longer supports PDF files from safari to be sent to the database. This is a huge setback as half the things I save to the database are from my phone and in PDF form..Version: 3.0.3

It's still a just companion app when it comes to notesI migrated to DT from Evernote, with high expectations from the reviews. The Mac app is awesome and the sync features are amazing, but the DTTG 2 was poor for taking notes and adding them to the databases. I was looking forward to DTTG 3, hoping I'd have a nice experience when taking notes from my iOS devices, but it didn't change much. Numbered lists created on the computer are still broken on the iOS app, and the format/view options still make some text way to small to be read. Unfortunately, I'll have to invest into another solution for my notes, which will probably be Keep It, from another developer. Should this change at some point, I'll gladly move back, but now it's not an option..Version: 3.0.1

Leave me beI give two stars to any app that interrupts me while I'm trying to work in order to get me to rate them..Version: 3.2.3

Clipper is horribleThe desktop app is great except for one thing. The clipping functionality is horrible compared to Evernote. The mobile app has bad clipping and a very clunky user interface. I want to replace Evernote but devonthink isn't there yet.Version: 3.2

Good for access, very lacking for entryThe improvements on PDF display, OCR are welcome, but this app is still very poor as far as editing goes, and it does not seem to be an area of focus for development. As the mobile interaction gains more and more, this capability gap will hinder the usage.Version: 3.0.3

Always hopefulGreat app but kind of useless because the syncing is still a tally since they started it not working. Try Bear instead and you’ll never have issues and will safe yourself a bunch of money..Version: 3.0.3

Very frustratedI owned Devonthink ToGo prior to this and had upgraded. I accidentally clicked the wrong upgrade option and meant to select lifetime upgrade. Now I am roped into a yearly subscription. This is not what I wanted!.Version: 3.0.6

Lots of freezingFreezes a lot and becomes unusable.Version: 3.1.1

Crap!I tried hard to make this work! I paid the subscription far too long and I’m not wasting another penny on this subscription. Sync is absolutely impossibly slow. I can’t download documents on demand. I love DT for Mac but I was never ever able to view any research documents on my devices with DT to Go. I’ve tried to make it work over 2 years and 2 separate subscriptions. Documents never load when I click on them and sync is literally just miserable. Fortunately, DT for Mac plays nicely with Keep It with a one-click share! They’ll get my monthly subscription from her on in which is also a fraction of the price and works absolutely beautifully between all devices. DT to Go is rubbish!!!.Version: 3.5.1

How much does it cost?I cannot see the price of this product anywhere, either here, or on their website. This matters. Some iOS developers still offer rich, complex functionality at a reasonable price. Increasingly, many are now “renting” trivial functionality at the equivalent of several hundred dollars ownership cost, gaming exchange rates, locking us in, and ratcheting the price up every year. We are tired of “bait and switch” tactics. Just tell us how much your product costs in a straightforward way so we can decide if we want to evaluate it..Version: 3.0.4
