Slow, Buggy

Beautiful app that does help motive me to review my classroom notes; there are multiple issues preventing me from rating it higher, hower:

– The recent update causes the sync status bar to get stuck midway, so you get to see the “sync in progress” arrows revolving/rotating eternaly, which is annoying.

– Another issue I have with this app is the fact that notes can take ≥10-15 seconds to load, specially if they have images; this is particularly jarring considering how fast the official Evernote app in loading text and visuals almost instantaneously.

– When you enable the “distraction free” mode, the note (vertical) margins become mismatched (i.e., instead of having the text centered in the middle of the app window, the text appears to visible closer to the left than to the right side of the window). This is another distracting problem I have with Alternote.

– I enjoy the option to change the look of the side bar, but the options available are quite limited and ugly.

– Highlighting text (and undoing it) is extremly cumbersome for no apparent reason. Formating in general is somewhat broken, too.

I will happily change my rating of this app once the above issues are addressed.
