Tried to hang in there, but this app is in perpetual beta

Ive been using Coursenote for over two years and Im not sure why Ive hung in there this long. I guess Im addicted to potential. The Coursenotes UI is decent and I like being able to create "note sessions" under "subjects," but the positives pretty much stop there.

First, user support consists of a skeletal FAQ and a Facebook page. While the developer has generally been responsive when Ive emailed, the lack of a forum for users to be able to troubleshoot with one another is really outdated.

Second, the lack of cloud syncing is really behind the time and a hindrance to using the app across a number of devices. Once I finally got the sync to work after a number of un/installs, it turns out that iPad syncing overrides notes on your other devices. All my updated notes on my desktop were gone! Luckily, I had them also on my laptop, but that leads to flaw number three...

Third, the backup is to HTML, which means opening a backup just brings up a poxy webpage! I guess you can cut & paste your notes back into Coursenotes, but as Sweet Brown says, "I aint got time for dat!"

Fourth, theres no way to import a backup into Coursenotes. At least if one could do this, cloud syncing wouldnt be as much of an issue, but still necessary.

Fifth, the ability to attach a pdf or jpg is a joke. It only displays the first page or one page. Whats the point?

I dont know if the developers listen to feedback or are just busy working on another app, but lets be clear: at this stage in the app game, people are starting to recognize app developers by their reputation. If you put out unsupported crap, dont think people just wont notice when you release you next app.

Ill be using Evernote from now on. Its not as pretty, but its functionality covers all these bases.
