Pros and cons of Alert Notes app for iPhone and iPad

Alert Notes app good for

Since I started using iPhone, I must have purchased at least more than a dozen apps and ended up deleting them from my iPad and iPhone. Whenever I had to record a task while on the move I had to use different screens. Specially while you are driving. I really like this app and use it much more regularly

Its a very easy app to help me with day to day events. Easy to use. Great helper for the person who needs a reminder

Great app. Does your calendar work for you when making quick notes. Used it for years! Thanks

Some bad moments

Sorry it does not understand basic terms like lunch..will not pick up contact by single name, must enter entire contact name correctly- too much typing then. No sync with Reminders either though that was not promised. Great idea but ways to go yet. Try $.99 Better yet free

For name detection it says to go to settings/privacy/contacts but this app doesnt show up there i have tried uninstalling and reinstalling and rebooting nothing works.

The simplicity is what makes this app incredible. The ability to create a note by voice would dethrone Angry Birds at #1!

This app is super Easy to use. Have not had any problems with it at all. First heard of It by the AppStore twitter and I am glad that I downloaded it now. Definitely worth 2.99.

Needs speech-to-text recognition!!! Doesnt recognize words that indicate a repeating event (nightly, each night, etc). Why do I need to set it manually? Need ability to repeat on weekdays or weekends only... big gap considering the Apple Clock app has had this for 4 years. Categories would be helpful Needs a better/cleaner icon Lots of promise here - will bump to 4/5 stars as updates that address these are released.

This is a great app! It does exactly what I want it to. The developer is very responsive to feedback, which I really appreciate.
