If you’re talking about Zoho Notebook (https://www.zoho.com/notebook/) I tried it on Mac and iOS (still have it installed, should probably uninstall) and I really *wanted* to like it, but I don’t.
It’s largely a competitor to Google Keep, with the greater ability to put noted into notebooks, with your choice of attractive covers.
It’s kind of a UI mess. I tested it last year by creating a few notebooks. I called one notebook To-Dos and inside it I put 5 checklists. When looking at the main Notebooks app page there’s no indication of the contents of each notebook - whether there’s text, photos, lists, etc - or how many lists there are. It’s annoyingly opaque.
Once I open the To-Do notebook I see little Post-it style squares showing part of the checklists, but the text is messed up. Here’s one mini-square inside the To-Do notebook:
What’s with those garbage characters?
And here’s that list opened with a double-click:
Like I said, I’d like to like it, but it’s got issues, and when launching the app it’s too unclear as to what’s in the notebooks, and there are still, months later, text formatting issued.
