➜ App description
ThinkBook is an immensely powerful app that combines note taking and task management. ThinkBook lets you take notes, create to-do lists, projects and outlines, organize your images and documents, all in the one app!
Key features:
- Lots of note types: text, todos, questions, projects, attachments.
- Create notebooks and pages, they behave just like other notes, move and organize them however you like.
- Outline everything, all the note types can be indented and collapsed using gestures.
- Use special 'finder' notes to create dashboards.
- The slider, a brand new way to make new notes and rearrange, move, copy and delete existing ones.
- Tags, tag everything you can see. They're inherited, tag a notebook with 'work' and every note in it will be treated as work.
- Super fast search for text and tags.
- Dropbox integration. Backup and restore to Dropbox, export and import notes, pages, notebooks and projects as text, work on them on your PC, then import them back into ThinkBook. All these features also work using iTunes file sharing.
- Attachment notes let you store PDFs, documents and images right in your notebooks, including spreadsheets, music and video.
- Import attachments from other apps using their 'Open in …' option, the clipboard or iTunes file sharing.
- Four beautiful themes.
- A graphical tutorial to quickly bring you up to speed and a full set of instructions (as a notebook!).'
Usage:
ThinkBook's interface is very fast and efficient but it IS a little different. This is what you need to know:
- ThinkBook uses gestures to indent and move notes. The left and right sides of the screen accept different gestures.
- On the left of the screen you can drag a note left and right to change the indentation.
- On the right of the screen you can drag a note right to push it into the slider.
- Tap on the slider to see all the things it can do.
- To delete notes push them into the slider then select 'clear clipboard' from the slider actions.

➜ What's new in version 1.4.1
Just a small change in this version.
There was a bug with the previous version where in iOS 5, if the password screen was shown while the device (iPad) was in landscape mode, then the main view would be corrupted and the app had to be re-started.
This version is a fix for that bug. As it's hot on the heels of the previous version I'll include the release notes for that one below.
----------------------
Added locking of pages and notebooks. From the app-wide option menu you can set a passcode. Then, from the options menu of a page or notebook you can lock it from opening.
If you forget your passcode you can reset it as long as you can import a file into ThinkBook through iTunes file sharing.
• Connect the iPad to your computer.
• iTunes should open automatically, but if it doesn't open iTunes.
• In the side bar, click on Devices > (your device). If you don't see the sidebar you can go into the 'View' menu and select 'Show Sidebar'.
• Click on the "Apps" tab.
• Scroll down from the "Sync Apps" section to the "File Sharing" section.
• Click on "ThinkBook".
• Drop the unlock file into the "ThinkBook" section. The unlock file is any file named 'unlock.txt'.
• Open ThinkBook and when it detects the unlock file it will reset your passcode.
