Lack of true sync prohibits serious use.

If Awesome Notes had a true and reliable multi-device sync feature, it would quickly and easily take the place of at least 3 apps that I currently use on a regular basis. Unfortunately, it doesnt, which is a make-or-break fault for me (as well as many others, going by the other reviews here).
Ive tried out an enormous number of organizer apps in search of one with just the right balance of visual and text, function and flexibility, and lots of options to customize. Ive found that the narrower the purpose for the app, the better it tends to execute that purpose (eg. just a calendar, just lists, just reminders, etc.) while apps that handle a wide range of information types usually dont handle any one of them especially effectively. Thats not the case with Awesome Notes, and I was very excited to start using it-- until I tested the "sync" (I use that term loosely here) feature. Its multi-step and prone to errors, generally unreliable and cumbersome. In fact using the term sync is kind of false advertising, as its really more of a manual backup, and not a smooth or trustworthy one at that. This seems to me quite a major omission given that most individuals have more than one device they are using. Maybe I should have taken warning when I had to purchase the iPad and iPhone apps separately, as a harbinger that there is no true flow of information from one to the other.
Granted, the interface and features are really fantastic, but unless those features function in a way that saves me time (or at least uses wisely the time I do spend on it) and hassle, the app just isnt worth it. Im hoping the developers turn their attention to multi-device usability thats also reliable, as a top priority. If this were the case Id be recommending Awesome Notes to everyone. For the time being though Im warning rather than recommending, and for now Id rather keep using my combination of Wunderlist, Evernote, the native Notes, and Calendars 5.
