  4. [R47] Drafts 5/5 · US A genuine all-in-one text utility: I rarely find a tool as all encompassing and flexible as something like Drafts, but it’s that rare utility that lets you craft it into exactly the experience you want it to be while also making that relatively easy to do. Wanna work with Shortcuts? Sure. Things? No problem. Web APIs? Yeah. Need a specific setup for your editing experience, organization, exports?
  5. [R51] Drafts 5/5 · US The Most Used Application on my mobile: Drafts is the most frequently utilized application on my mobile device. It is highly user-friendly, readily accessible, and assists me in organizing written content on my phone in a straightforward and efficient manner.
  6. [R45] Drafts 5/5 · US The Quick Input Tool We All Should Use: Drafts is a great note taking tool that does its job perfectly. It is super simple to use with enough features to please the more enthused among us. Speed and responsive is the name of the game for this app. Fast in opening. Syncs so quickly you forget that it’s syncing. And it’s very responsive. I use Drafts as the quick input for my Obsidian Vault on all
  7. [R32] Drafts 5/5 · US Worlds greatest note app: I’ve used them all. And I mean every note app you’ve heard of and a lot you haven’t. Drafts is my origin point for every single note I take(and I take a lot of notes) everything starts in Drafts - it’s hands down the fastest simplest way to get ideas out of your head. I use the hashtag headers as inline tags and then a script / ai post processing shuffles everything into
  8. [R35] Drafts 5/5 · US Write anything fast: Been using this app for years. Love the sync with the Mac and the ability to quickly start any note.
  9. [R5] Drafts 5/5 · US “It feels like a safe place for creativity and organization to coexist.”: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I’ve tried a lot of note-taking apps, but Drafts has become my favorite. I love that it’s only $1.99, and everything syncs seamlessly between my iPhone and MacBook. That alone makes it worth it for me. I use it for all kinds of things, planning systems, planning guides, bills, important dates, routines, and regimens.
  10. [R29] Drafts 5/5 · US Indispensable to my workflow: I use Drafts every day to switch seamlessly between my iPhone, iPad and MacBook to work on anything from short posts to long articles. It is a critical part of my workflow and one I pay for gladly.
  11. [R12] Drafts 3/5 · US Some handy features.: Some handy features… However, if you been using Drafts and not checked out the default Apple Notes for sometime, it’s worth checking out. The new Apple Notes is greatly improved and negates any reason to subscribe to Drafts. The ability to add photos with your default Apple Notes as one great example! The subscription and rating process is broken... App is free, so it allow
  12. [R33] Drafts 3/5 · GB Coulda been a contender....: This is an upgrade I’d pay for ... but not month after month for the rest of my life.
  13. [R36] Drafts 3/5 · GB Priced for power users: I like Drafts 4 and would be happy to pay an upgrade feeof 9.99 or maybe even 14.99, but 17.50 a year recurring feels too much. I know it does great things and am sure it is worth it for some people, but I fear it's overshooting it for most users.
  14. [R37] Drafts 1/5 · US Subscriptionware: No lifetime purchase option; greedy and expensive.
  15. [R22] Drafts 1/5 · US pop up ratings push: I automatically give three stars to any app that interrupts me to try and get me to give it a rating. UPDATE the developer sent an email, explaining how to turn off the ratings push. Thank you. Back to a five star rating.
  16. [R73] DraftKings 1/5 · US Account Verification: they have locked my account for me changing my email to an email i no longer have access to their customer service sucks they email you and you don’t talk to a live agent , i waited 5 days and still no update on my account i don’t recommend it at all
  17. [R84] DraftKings 1/5 · US False promos and impossible support: I have only received half of the sign up promotions they advertise. I’ve tried contacting support multiple times but have not received a response. The support system is designed to be so convoluted that you just give up. They force you to talk to an ai chat bot that has no option to speak to a rep. Or you have to contact them on twitter? What kind of support is
  18. [R92] DraftKings 1/5 · US Horrible customer service: We all have messed a bet up, when you ask customer service to switch a bet before 3 hours in a game. They don’t reply till 24-48 hours and say tough luck. Screw DraftKings, move on you FA dial that lets you cash out and revert. DK is the worst platform
  19. [R39] Drafts 3/5 · GB Downgrade for casuals and going off brand?: The app lost some features I use regularly (including deleting drafts after action) and couldn’t migrate some very useful keyboard commands. Quality of life for me is lower with just a prettier UI. And really a sub is a bit surprising. It’s a great app but not really the right kind of app for a sub, especially not at the current price point. I pay enough
  20. [R54] Drafts 1/5 · GB Downgrade from version 4: Very disappointing to have purchased version 4 only to find I have to subscribe in order to get back features I already paid for. For me the main reason for buying was the custom actions, which are no longer available without the subscription. Fortunately I can recreate those using the Apple Shortcuts app, so no need to subscribe. Very annoying nonetheless to have my purc
  21. [R65] DraftKings 5/5 · US Betting Is For Fun!!: Even though I don’t win as often as I’d like, I have to give DraftKings a lot of credit. They consistently offer promotions, boosts, and rewards that help keep my bankroll going and make the experience enjoyable. Those offers give me more opportunities to play, and when I do make the right picks, the payouts can be exciting. I’ve always felt like the app has been fair, easy t
