Wow! This is so exciting, darlings! ProjectBook has arrived in Europe at last - and has turned into a very smooth-running Mac/iOS app rechristened NoteSuite.
What a great combo of goodies: outlining as a matter of course, collated todos (from any and all notes with todos in them), ability to find related notes, keywords, automatic and manual linking… what can I say? The only thing that’s not 100% a-m-a-z-ing about it is the fact that it doesn’t exist for PC!
I’m going to be doing some serious stress-testing over the next few days to see if the initially gorgeous impression is offset by any negatives, but so far it’s looking truly fantastic!
Cheers,
Bill

You beat me to it, Bill.
I’ve had a license for the iPad version of ProjectBook, which I liked, but which was missing connectivity to other apps—oh, it was there, just not powerful enough for me to commit to PB as my iPad notes app. NoteSuite looks like it is the real deal. I was able to sync the notes on my iPad with the Mac version of NS very quickly and easily through iCloud. One thing you didn’t mention, is that the introductory price for the Mac version is just $4.99 U.S.—can I assume it is similarly priced in Europe? And they promise that there will be no subscription fees!
I’ll be looking forward to your reports, and I will offer mine as well.

Yes, at the moment the iOS app is available for just £1.49 from iTunes; I’m not sure what the Mac App price is, because I don’t have a Mac (I confess I’m wavering…).
So deffo a bargain! I’ve been playing, and it all seems to run very smoothly and neatly. And it links in to Dropbox, Box, Google Drive etc. very nicely indeed! Because I have a Samsung Galaxy Note, I’ve recently - with the upgrade to Android 4.1.1 - been upgraded to 50GB of Dropbox storage for free! Very convenient.
It’s a sophisticated piece of software, there’s no doubt of that. In fact I’ve not seen anything quite as sophisticated as this since the advent of my beloved Notebooks (still my go-to information storage app, not least because it DOES have a PC client…). The related notes option is very clever. I’m going to load up with data and see if the file indexing (of e.g. .doc, .pdf, .xls files etc.) works, too.
Cheers,
Bill

Blimey, I’ve been impressed by the smart functions so far. The way you can create actual folders that also have a virtual ‘smart’ component (i.e. show documents that match certain keywords, regardless of where they are in the notebook) is seriously cool. I haven’t got enough info in here to do some proper ‘related notes’ comparisons, but gimme time…
Search engine is nice, too (long-term readers will know how that MATTERS to me…).
