The app is great in every respect. Except iCloud syncing. That is a huge problem for me, which caused me to abandon to use this app - unfortunately. I really love all the features. Presentation mode, various syntax hiliting, various text cells, etc, I mean, it’s just realy good. Unfortunately syncing is something that just simply doesn’t work. At the moment about 40% of my notes are not syncing up.
I usually type my notes on my desktop Mac. In the past 4 months or so, I barely turned on my MacBook. At one case, I didn’t use my MacBook for about two weeks because I was only working on my desktop mac. Then, when I am trying sync up, nothing happens. I switch Wi-Fi on and off, restart the app, reboot the two machines, etc. Nothing. The two machines are SIMPLY NOT SYNCING USING iCLOUD!!!
The worst part, this is a CONSTANT issue. I realize this migh be an actual issue with iCloud itself (since nowadays anything that Apple does is full of bugs), but this also makes using the app frustrating. I have other apps that sync via iCloud and they don’t seem to have any issue. So I am not sure why Quiver has a hard time with syncing.
My desktop Mac is running El Crapitan 10.11.3 and my MacBook is running Yosemite 10.10.5. Sometimes (errr…quite often) Apple messes things up and I thought maybe the OS version differences causes this issue. But other apps I am using are syncing just fine, so this must be a different issue.
If you use the app only on a single machine and/or you are not using iCloud for syncing the app is great. Since I use iCloud for all of my syncing, I don’t want to resort to install yet another syncing mechanism (eg, DropBox). I hope this syncing will be sorted out at some point.
