Consumer Insights Manager Consumer Electronics Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 5/25/2018 "Helpful note-taking tool for content creators" 3/5 What do you like best about Standard Notes? I like the past and match style feature of Standard Notes, where you get to copy and paste exactly the same style of the paragraph you copied. It even has a developer tools same as any browser readily installed, so you can see the styling the lies beneath the prase you pasted. I also liked the auto back up, so you don't waste your precious efforts reduced to any especially during unexpected shutdowns. The hashtags for the tagging and categorization, I think, is also clever. Makes the tool more upbeat. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Standard Notes? Though this is more of an opinion than a negative reaction. I think StandardNotes live up to its name that it is indeed standard note taking app. Nothing brilliant though. Just the basic note taking. Therefore, I can not find a ground where I will say I will stick to this app. It does not have a unique value proposition on hand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Standard Notes: Yes, I would recommend people using StandardNotes, but when you have specific issues to solve, you better try first their trial and see for yourself if it solves your current problems. It is a nice piece of software, but it needs more polishing before it indeed worthy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Standard Notes solving and how is that benefiting you? Content creator, like myself, are exacting when it comes to our notes. And it is imperative that we get exactly the formatting we are referring to. StandardNotes provided me with tools necessary to solve and bridge the gap just that, witch paste and matching style with developer tools on the hood, they got that one right.
