Cons
Con Support non existing
Con iOS version no longer being updated
iPad upgrades stopped at iOS version 11, so if you want to keep Doit.im it is not possible to upgrade to iOS12. As there is no export facility, you are stuck.
Con Rarely updated
Con Offline sometimes
Con Nonexport and support desk say they will never include it (your data is theirs now)
Con Subscription based
While not expensive, it does cost money to get it for Mac or Windows (although you can view it in the browser for free). The subscription also adds automatic cloud sync, sync with Google calendar, adding tasks via email, manual sort, attaching Evernote into tasks, and more.
The subscription costs $2/month, or $20/year which is very reasonable
Con Sometimes it doesn't see your active subscription
Con Rip off
Con Not very customizable
There is no way for you to create your own "perspective".
Con Sync issues with Android
If update on Linux then sync on Android, sometimes the Android sync will duplicate or remove some journal notes. Seems to be a bug in the Android app. The Linux app alone without sync with Android seems to work well using Dropbox. But don't expect changes you make on Android to sync properly back to Linux.
Con Sync issue under Linux
The Linux client has a bug that requires the user to click the mouse frequently in order for sync to proceed. This bug has been open for a while.
Con Gargantuan memory footprint
1GB+ of memory for taking notes.
Con Old school interface
Con Bloated
This project is suffering from feature creep and uses a lot of memory for a note-taking app.
Con App Image launches very slowly
On Linux, you can only install via App Image, which take 5+ seconds to launch. I can launch LibreOffice in under two seconds.
Con Sync issues on Windows
No way to change account settings and sync easily corrupted.
Con Weak tag searching
Joplin can currently only search for a single tag at a time. None of the boolean operators (AND, OR, NOT) are available for use in searches. This greatly diminishes the usefulness of tags in Joplin.
Con Can't create tags from the mobile app
