Paper by Dropbox

I’ve been using Paper for a long time and I love that it does a few things really well and then just gets out of my way. I love offline mode and syncing, it is great for writing in a park, on a plane, or anywhere else without service. I wish there was 1:1 feature parity between the browser and apps, and I hate the way it tries to organize my files, but otherwise I have few complaints. A solid 4/5 stars.

My go to app for jotting down ideas

I really love both the simplicity and extensive feature set of this app. It hits a sweet spot for me and so I have mostly good things to say about it. They seem to have fixed most of the bugs that really annoyed me, so that’s nice. The one bug that remains, for me, is that when you go to edit a document, no matter where you are in the doc, it scrolls all the way up to the top and then you have to scroll all the way down, again.

I’m a big fan of Dropbox paper on desktop, but the app is truly awful. Editing tables is impossible, and if you use it across more than one account switching between them is painfully slow.

They introduced a new UI design a while back on desktop. I am not sure why, it didn’t make anything function better, it just made it look worse. I used to use this app heavily, now I moved on. Can’t trust their updated and design decisions.

I love this app because it isn’t just a Google docs clone. It has a simple interface that works well. Or - should work well. There are some bizarre issues with this app that I’m surprised about. It works fine on the web, but this app isn’t very good. The app freezes sometimes when you return from another app, requiring a force-quit. Sometimes it just hangs for no reason. And when I tried to create a to-do today, the app said “try later or contact support.” I am certain that support would not be able to fix this issue. Hoping the devs read feedback and make improvements, because the idea and design of this app is great.

I do appreciate the power that Paper has brought to our staff's collaboration on things. And overall I am satisfied with it - however, it's buggy when I'm doing work on an ipad. In fact the rating would probably be a lot higher but the request to rate came on the heals of my inability to create a "TODO" item for a staff member because of some buggy behavior of the menu. (The option I wanted was not displayed on the screen, but I could see the ipad positioned the menu so that it *would* appear to the left of the screen boundary - if my screen was large enough. Bottom line - I like Paper - it's great for collaboration ... but at least when you're working with an ipad (my main tool) - they still have some work to do to get it to work properly.

seems like they are no longer updating and developing the app. there are constant problems staying signed in and signing in multiple times before successfully logged in.

This app works great in most circumstances, however i cannot seem to add any photos from my camera roll from my IPad with an IPad OS with the now-latest version. I have tried updating my app, updating the iPad, rotating to different orientations, submitting different photos… nothing worked!

Offline mode doesn't work well. Can't view recent papers, therefore this app is currently useless for most workflows. Don't bother with a developer response that refers me to your support forum. Already done that. Still waiting for a fix; 14 months later. Please fix offline sync. Thank you.
