Editors’ Choice

Steinbeck liked pencils, and Orwell had his trusty Remington typewriter. But us? We like Bear. It’s a writing app that’s as capable as the best of them—but doesn’t bury us in technical intricacies and toolbars. Linking notes is as easy as dropping a hashtag, and formatting your work is a total breeze. We especially love this Apple Design Award winner on iPad.

Prise de note zen

Je cherchais un moyen de stocker mes éléments de références (GTD) j’ai découvert Bear que je n’ai pas adopté au départ car compatible seulement avec l’univers Apple (au travail c’est plutôt PC / Androïd). Devant la popularité d’Evernote, et le nombre de fonctionnalités, j’ai bien tenté de dompter ce dernier, mais avec un certain malaise persistant malgré l’utilisation des tag et carnets : une impression de fouillis et de ne pas m’y retrouver. Puis par dépit j’ai réétudié Bear que je gardais quand même dans un coin... une révélation, un soulagement même, l’interface est simple, ergonomique et tellement efficace que j’ai transféré toutes mes notes d’Evernote en une heure manuellement (même si on peut automatiser cet export-import) ; j’ai pris plaisir à découvrir la mise en forme, l’utilisateur est guidé en permanence sur Bear, l’aide est disponible lorsqu’on en a besoin, c’est magique. Tant pis pour la compatibilité uniquement Apple, car c’est sûrement ce qui rend cette appli de très bonne qualité, de plus le plaisir d’utiliser cette application compense ce petit désagrément. Au premier jour d’utilisation, essai transformé : ma liste de bonnes adresses de restaurants a été envoyée illico par sms à mon frère et j’ai pu organiser une soirée en quelques minutes chrono 👍
Merci aux développeurs et c’est avec plaisir que je m’abonne - tarif très correct en plus ! -

Cette version 2 de Bear est tout simplement parfaite !

Il faut prendre le temps de tester toutes les nouveautés pour apprécier la puissance de cette application de prise de notes. Le nouveau clavier spécifique, la possibilité de replier des sections de textes suivant les niveaux, la gestion des pdf, la taille des images ajustable, les tableaux, etc, etc. Et le passage de la V1 à la V2 s’est globalement très bien passé, sans perte de notes. Bravo aux développeurs qui apportent tous les jours des correctifs pour fignoler l’application que je trouve pour ma part très stable. Les fonctions de recherche, très puissantes, mériteraient d’être un peu plus documentées. Encore bravo !
