    I absolutely love Pear Note for my MacBook Pro but obviously there're situations where it's preferable to use my iPad. I was wondering about how likely it is that certain features from the Mac version would make the jump to the iPad:

    - Table support! My professor often makes tables, but unfortunately I have not been able to create these on the iPad
    - Video support! I would really appreciate it if I could either record the video or take pictures and have these inside of my Pear Note. I feel like video for the iPad makes a lot of sense, since it has a forward and back camera.
    - Bullet multi-line support! I love the bullet in pear note, but unfortunately I noticed that when your document extends to multiple lines, the document does not continue spacing the line from where the bullet started, and instead the line will start from the beginning of the document. This would make looking through my notes so much easier if you could implement it!
    - More syncing support! There've been several new options lately, such as Microsoft sky drive and Google drive back give far more storage space than dropbox. And looking ahead, since iCloud will be far more integrated into the new Mac OS, iCloud support for syncing between the iPad and Mac apps would be fabulous as well

    I also have a feature that applies to the iPad as well as the Mac app. I would really appreciate it if you could add drawings support! Drawing is often done on the chalkboard in my class, and unfortunately without the ability to record video on my iPad I have been unable to incorporate them into my notes.

    I was especially curious about the drawings support, since you had previously mentioned that you were looking into this feature, but perhaps sometime after improving compatibility with Lion and creating an iPhone app. Since updating to 3.0 on the Mac, I was wondering what would be in the development pipeline for the future.

    Thank you very much for making such an excellent product, and for listening to these suggestions!

    Hi Leviar,

    I try not to commit to future changes ahead of time. That said, I also want to be open about my thoughts. So, I'll try my best to answer your questions, but please understand that I'm not certain of this right now. These are just my thoughts.

    Table support on iOS - I haven't heard much interest in this feature, so it hasn't moved up on the priority list much yet. I'll take this as a vote for the feature.

    Video support on iOS - I've had a lot of interest in this, much more than I had originally expected. It's something I'm hoping to add after adding iPhone support.

    Bullet multi-line support - I think you should update :) Pear Note 1.0.4 for iPad also came out today and includes this.

    More syncing support - Right now, I'm taking a wait and see approach to this. I had planned to add iCloud support quickly, but iCloud support for document storage (particularly large documents like those in Pear Note) has been full of problems so far. So, I've taken a step back to watch what happens on the cloud front. As a small dev shop, I don't have the time to support lots of services. I understand the excitement around other services, but I can't justify the time it takes to support them at this time.

    Drawing support on Mac and iOS - Nothing's changed here. It's still something I'm hoping to add after adding iPhone support. I'm not sure if it'll come to iOS and Mac at the same time, or to iOS first (where it's a more natural fit) and then possibly Mac later.

    I hope that helps.

    Thanks for your speedy reply! I'm very glad that you were able to share your thoughts on these matters, and definitely look forward to potentially seeing them. I did just want to note that currently I feel that Tables on the Mac may be an under-utilized feature because of its placement (and the fact that it's not directly available from the toolbar). I feel that your table support is excellent, and certainly and standout feature as I don't know of any other applications that sync audio to notes and include tables.

    In fact, the feature of tables has no mention on the Mac App store description or your website! I had to find the feature myself before I ever started using it. I definitely think including it as a toolbar button and adding it to the description of Pear Note would greatly increase use on the Mac and interest in tables in iOS.

@RyanCapouch - Just so everyone knows, I would flunk out of school if I didn't have @pearnote.
