Devin says:
Hey Nigel – It’s not planned right now, but we might consider as a premium feature in the future.
-
A desktop client and maybe a blog writing feature (with full backup capabilities), would be killer. But so far Springpad is impressive enough.
-
Emyll – That’s a big request, we’ll see!

aaron says:
You NEED to add offline support, it’s a gaping feature that is stopping me from using Springpad as my primary app. Until then I’ll have to use Springpad and Dropbox
Messy.

Pérsio Menezes says:
Sure! Desktop client just like Evernote would be Amazing. I love Springpad, but the service will be perfect only with a desktop client. Mobile app also need off-line suport, the content should be keepet when we disconect. On my bombile, at least, when I am out of network I can not see my notes.
-
Sure! I love Springpad, but I miss a desktop client. The service Springpad will only be complete when we have a desktop client such as Evernote. And on my phone when I am out of network, I can not see my notes. The notes could be saved to Springpad app so we can access offline in mobile also.

Jfgen says:
Yeah I agree, I can live without the desktop app because I can nest webapps beautifully in Ubuntu, but not accessing my notes on my phone when I don’t have internet connection is indeed a killer.

holzimann says: is it or will it be possible to assign tasks to other members using a shared notebook with me …!?!

Holzimann – Not planned right now, but worth considering as a premium feature!
Zoya says: When I first stumbled across Springpad I laughed because I thought it was a pinterest clone, then months later learned it was much more. It sounded great, it could handle text like evernote and pictures like pinterest. I’ve been using springpand about a week now.
I spent hours manually moving entries in from evernote because they don’t have an import function (no, no one has less than 1 MB data in evernote so you might as well enter it all manually rather than export and import it fifty times). I tried syncing with my google accounts but it turns out that is a lie as well despite it actually saying “Create contacts from your Google contacts”. I was then curious as to how to back up my springpad data and apparently you can create an HTML backup, but not restore from it.
Things I want to see in springpad (some of which people have been wanting for years apparently):
*Backup capability (that functions)
*Import capability (that functions)
*Recurring tasks
*Ability to change item types
*Settings for my notebooks (Like always adding notes minimized in pinboard mode or automatically setting my notebooks to private when they’re created because I’m not a social media junkie)
*An offline mode not handled by some unknown person playing with the API
Things I am seeing in springpad:
*None of the above are announced
*Useful text and dropdowns will be replaced by indecipherable icons
*I will have to click to access the search bar rather than there just being a search bar on the main page
*A blog with critical updates about pie, oreos, green things, and improvements made by everyone other than the springpad team. All of which engulf the bookmarks bar and will probably break as soon as 4.0 comes out.
For a very very brief shining moment I thought springpad could have been good.
-
Zoya – We’ve actually been around way longer than Pinterest
The Google contacts feature was removed – we need to update that. Good feedback, we’ll take a look! -
Robin says:
Springpad: have you polled your users? Do they WANT a pinterest clone? It doesn’t matter who came first, what matters is that it’s what your formerly useful site has turned into.
I’ve been a springpad user and evangelist for years but the latest updates have driven me to Evernote and I couldn’t be happier.
Zoya is right, search is THE thing. I shouldn’t have to hunt for a search box.
And what about timestamps? How do you find something as simple as when a note was created? If it’s there it’s certainly well hidden.
-
Well then you’re going to be pleased, Robin, because we added a pretty amazing search feature with 4.0!
-

Zotje says:
You’ve used springpad for a week and have a whole list of complaints about what it isn’t. Sounds like springpad is just not for you.
Btw…there is an app that takes your entire evernote backup and creates springs for it. I used it a year ago when I first started using springpad. Search for it on springpad, I’m sure someone has it in one of their public notebooks.
Brandon Baker says: COOL! …that rocks. Thanks!
Chris says: Any plans for Windows Phone application?
-
Chris – Not in the plans right now.
Prashanth says: Hello Springpad team,
I love Springpad and have been using it regularly since Springpad started. You guys are doing a fantastic job, and I will keep using and supporting Springpad.
One thing I would like springpad to do better is search.
When I search through all my springs, often, the results are not accurate, or miss out on a few hits.
Another thing I would like improved is the ability to clip web page contents as a note – not as a bookmark, but as a note.
The Bookmarklet today removes all formatting from the highlighted items from the page and inserts a plain text into the description, which also gets some raw tags like “ ”
-
Hi Prashanth – We have some good news regarding Search with this release, so stay tuned!
John John says: Please make an app for Windows Phone 8. Thank you.
Will tagging be fixed, so you see (and edit) the tags that other team members made? Also, will I be able to remove the hitherto stubborn thumbnails that won’t go away even after being manually removed over and over. Finally, is there any chance that tags will not have to be case sensitive. Thanks!
-
Samer – We didn’t work on tags for this release, sorry!
ragu says: I like the interface improvements. But what I am waiting for is better performance. In my opinion it is the single most important ‘usability feature’. That is the one thing that’s poor right now, in my opinion.
Looking forward to the latest springpad!
Bert says: yes, premium please! now I still use evernote for that (not bad..just not so nice)
Juzer Ali says: I hope the android widget follows the same slick UI design. Right now android widget wastes lots of space and is quite bulky at the edges. I like Google Keep’s widget a lot. But its not an option at all.
-
Hey Juzer – We didn’t work on the widgets with this update, but thanks for letting us know this is important to you!
-
Mario says:
Sigh, I have written several times to your support/ticket saying that the android widget wastes too much screen space and is slow and it is a bad point for having a cool experience of Springpad and now you say to Juzer that you have not touched widgets and that you discover now that it can be important?
Now I will search an external petition online site to gather opinions on how much fundamental the android widget is-
Mario – Not everyone hates our widgets
We don’t get a huge number of requests to change them, but that doesn’t mean we won’t update them in the future.
-
-
Any chance of Windows 8 app? I am already using Web, Android (phone and tablet) apps. Also own Surface Pro. Would love to have you in there as well.
-
Hey Harshad – Not right now, unfortunately
Jerry says: Springpad is still my notebook of choice on all platforms. Google keep just cannot keep up.
-
Yipee! Thanks Jerry!
Katy says: When????
-
Katy – Really soon…like really, really!
Kyle T says: Any chance you’re hitting whatever intent the Android voice actions kick off? I’m thinking specifically of “Note to self…” which currently launches either email to yourself or the newly launched “Keep” app.
I like the voice command idea but I really like your note program better.
-
Kyle – That’s a great idea!
Akshay says: ACE!!! Alright… Springpad all SET to destroy Pinterest!
Pls keep attention to the how content in a notebook looks to the public (right now it’s still rough around the sides)
Don’t forget to add good ‘Twitter Cards’ awesome ways to post on social networks.
Fanks!
-
Akshay – Thanks for the feedback. We did some UI polish with this release, so let us know what you think!
Samer Kurdi says: Why was my comment, where I asked if a number of fixes will be implemented, not published?
-
Samer – A lot of legit comments have been going to our Spam folder. Takes some digging to find them all. Sorry about that – yours must have gotten lost!
-
Thanks Caroline!
Glenn says: Is this version for iphone going to have the numlock feature? I’ve been wanting this for a while. Your android app has had this for a long time now and it has been my main reason for switching from Evernote. So it would be great if I could get this on the iphone so I don’t have to get a new phone just for this app
-
Hey Glenn – Not yet, sorry!
Bera Başkurt says: If Springpad had a desktop client, it’d be the best application for me and never used something else for taking notes or tasks etc. It is not so easy to use web site to generate neat notes and notebooks.
Anoush Khan says: Will the app for mobile devices, more specifically the iPhone, be rebuilt from scratch? I have noticed that with every update, stuff just keeps getting piled on to the old code, making the app cluttered and really slow and prone to crashes. Also, PLEASE don’t remove support for iOS 5, as my devices don’t support higher. Otherwise, new update looks good and I am awaiting eagerly!
-
No Anoush, but we are including a bunch of performance improvements.
-
Will it still support iOS 5?
-
It will, Anoush!
-
Awesome! I just love Springpad, and my love for it has grown, considering that the devs actually take the time to listen to their users! Nice job and the new changes look good!

MJ says: I’m still not impressed. I miss having support from colourlovers.com. The new color schemes are terrible boring from 3.0. I still miss 2.0, but I can’t find a product like 2.0 so i’m stuck here, mostly unhappy. For some unknown reason, I keep using software that just makes me frustrated. Some day I hope it gets better, but the preview leaves much to be desired for functionality.
Hi springpad is wonderful, although its missing the most important part (for me) a os x native client for speed.
Why don´t you use kickstarter and crowdsource that development? Seems a lot of people want a desktop client, so please let us help you with that by paying you to make it!
Anyway thanks for a still great service.
Susan says: I ADORE Springpad. I find it SO much more graphically friendly and intuitive than Evernote, which I had, but never used. I use Springpad multiple times a day. Helps me track research in my industry, recipes, travel, just so much more!
One important feature I’d really love, and it seems simple…can you please make it so that I can look at my notebooks in alphabetical order? It’s in the order of most-recently-created first, and I can’t recall the sequence of which notebook I created when, so I always have to scroll the list, which is so damned random, the way my brain is random. For me, one of the beautiful things about Springpad is that it brings order to the randomness. So pretty please, make my notebooks appear in alphabetical order (Pandora lets me see my stations in alpha and creation-sequence order, and I love that.)
THANK YOU for all that you do! I’m a big, big, big fan! : )
-
Hi Susan – Try manually dragging them in the order you want!
aaron says: Please please please bring back offline access for mobile devices.
-
Aaron – You can access your stuff offline on the mobile apps right now.
leticia says: Any chance for different fonts/colors? Sometimes, when I type my notes, the font randomly changes and I can’t (or maybe don’t know how to) change it back, so I would like to see some type of font change. It obviously can support different fonts, but there isn’t anything to change fonts without copy/pasting from a different source.
-
Leticia – We’re not doing anything with text editing right now, sorry!
-
Hey Mark – Doesn’t exist yet, but definitely a good idea!
Andrey says: Hi!
Thanks for a great product.
It is a pleasure to use.
I’ll be grateful if you sobschite me whether you have plans to:
1. Will the Russian language?
2. Will there be a second level (group) in the Notebook? This would be a great solution for the internal organization of notes.
I’ll be grateful for the feedback.
Thank you for your work.
-
Andry – We’ve not translated Springpad into any other language yet. We did not add notebook folders, but we’re seriously considering this feature!
Kevbo says: I’m pretty terrified of the pending release. I loved 2.0. I used it as my main information dump. The release of 3.0 caused unreasonably high amounts of stress for me, and I was never able to recover fully and resume using Springpad like I once did.
Please tell me there will be a way to opt into using 3.0 while 4.0 is in “public beta”. I don’t like 3.0, but considering the horrible launch of 3.0, I’d rather use it while y’all play around with 4.0.
Also…in my experience, tagging in the IOS app seems to be horribly broken (deleted tags never disappear, no spaces allowed when tagging new items). I don’t understand why these issues haven’t been fixed.
A-lo says: This update might be too little, too late for me. I’ve been a long-time Springpad user but the UI and ease of use of Springpad are laughable. You’re trying to compete with Pinterest and introducing all these flashy features like boards, but you still can’t rename tags easily, you replaced the useful notes with trendy and barebones “comments”, and general searching and navigation is just unacceptably slow. Evernote keeps things simple, works effortlessly, and is fast. Evernote just works.
As soon as they launch their Evernote Food 2.0 app for Android, I’m making the move permanently. Unless this Springpad 4.0 is amazing and you finally clean up your tags implementation, and add some functionality that allows us to actually use the wealth of location-based items that we’ve been saving (e.g. nearby search of saved places).
slaecker says: Hi,
I hope you optimized the performance of the android app, it’s horrible, takes me minutes to save a single task on my phone (HTC Sensation) and tablet.
Regs,
slaecker
Keso says: I liked springpad back in times when it was usefull, fast node taking app.
Now it’s more pinterest, photo sharing service not personal productivity.
Back in times I choosed springpad over evernote, because there was offline android client, evernote has online, now it’s changed. We’ll see what will happend, lucky we, alternatives are live (evernote, catch ..)
Ann Bartholomew says: Having Springad tell you, ‘You’ve already sprung this’, instead of clearing out the duplicates….
Maxim Ermakov says: Need extension for Google Chrome, FireFox like “Evernote Clearly” to make all articles (notes) in a same style with a perfect look.
Thanks for Springpad.
Lord Vader says: I have tons of materials and notes in other formats that love to import them to springpad and start adding up to them. But lack of “import” function (from CSV format at least) limits my reliance on apringpad as much as I want.
Samer Kurdi says: HELP. Search does not display items sprung by collaborators.
Whether I use ‘Just ‘Me+collaborators’, ‘Me + Following’ or just ‘Me alone’…. items that others on my team entered will NOT show up.
-
Samer – Do you also follow the people you collaborate with? Have you tried viewing their stuff in the Springs page too?
-
I do not follow my collaborators — I never had to. Their stuff seems to show in the notebook and springs pages.
This is a major problem though. Please fix it!
-
Samer – Got it, we’re looking into it!
-
-
Great job with the Version 4.0 update!
One thing I would like to see in a future update is integration, or use of, Google’s search API so that my searches in Google will also show if I have relevant content in my Springpad notebooks. Evernote currently has such a feature, and I think it would be a great enhancement to Springpad.
One thing that seemed to zip by my in the “learn more” page were the curated notebooks by some brands. I saw TripAdvisor and, I believe, AFI. It would be helpful if those notebooks by your corporate/brand partners were a little easier to find.
Kudos!
Cokedragon says: Could you guys please move the Cancel button away from right next to the Save button and/or move both buttons away from the text field? I find myself writing long notes here, and it really grinds my gears when I hit Cancel by accident (whether because my mouse flies away and hits it, or I try to hit Save and I miss).
-
@cokedragon – Fair comment, feedback noted!
Andrey says: Hi, Developers!
The new interface is a good job, but there is a problem.
Not correctly displayed fonts Russian in Android version. Do you plan to fix it?
If you were able modify it, then you would have much more grateful users and expand the geography of users. This would give you another plus to go to you with Еvernote.
-
Hi Andry – We fixed this yesterday with 4.0.1. Update and let us know if you’re still having trouble. Thanks!

Evernote keeps things simple, works effortlessly, and is fast. Evernote just works.
As soon as they launch their Evernote Food 2.0 app for Android, I’m making the move permanently. Unless this Springpad 4.0 is amazing and you finally clean up your tags implementation, and add some functionality that allows us to actually use the wealth of location-based items that we’ve been saving (e.g. nearby search of saved places).
Hi,
I hope you optimized the performance of the android app, it’s horrible, takes me minutes to save a single task on my phone (HTC Sensation) and tablet.
Regs,
slaecker
I liked springpad back in times when it was usefull, fast node taking app.
Now it’s more pinterest, photo sharing service not personal productivity.
Back in times I choosed springpad over evernote, because there was offline android client, evernote has online, now it’s changed. We’ll see what will happend, lucky we, alternatives are live (evernote, catch ..)
Having Springad tell you, ‘You’ve already sprung this’, instead of clearing out the duplicates….
Need extension for Google Chrome, FireFox like “Evernote Clearly” to make all articles (notes) in a same style with a perfect look.
Thanks for Springpad.
I have tons of materials and notes in other formats that love to import them to springpad and start adding up to them. But lack of “import” function (from CSV format at least) limits my reliance on apringpad as much as I want.
HELP. Search does not display items sprung by collaborators.
Whether I use ‘Just ‘Me+collaborators’, ‘Me + Following’ or just ‘Me alone’…. items that others on my team entered will NOT show up.
Samer – Do you also follow the people you collaborate with? Have you tried viewing their stuff in the Springs page too?
I do not follow my collaborators — I never had to. Their stuff seems to show in the notebook and springs pages.
This is a major problem though. Please fix it!
Samer – Got it, we’re looking into it!
Great job with the Version 4.0 update!
One thing I would like to see in a future update is integration, or use of, Google’s search API so that my searches in Google will also show if I have relevant content in my Springpad notebooks. Evernote currently has such a feature, and I think it would be a great enhancement to Springpad.
One thing that seemed to zip by my in the “learn more” page were the curated notebooks by some brands. I saw TripAdvisor and, I believe, AFI. It would be helpful if those notebooks by your corporate/brand partners were a little easier to find.
Kudos!
Could you guys please move the Cancel button away from right next to the Save button and/or move both buttons away from the text field? I find myself writing long notes here, and it really grinds my gears when I hit Cancel by accident (whether because my mouse flies away and hits it, or I try to hit Save and I miss).
@cokedragon – Fair comment, feedback noted!
Hi, Developers!
The new interface is a good job, but there is a problem.
Not correctly displayed fonts Russian in Android version. Do you plan to fix it?
If you were able modify it, then you would have much more grateful users and expand the geography of users. This would give you another plus to go to you with Еvernote.
Hi Andry – We fixed this yesterday with 4.0.1. Update and let us know if you’re still having trouble. Thanks!
