Promising; desktop usable, mobile missing key features

Even though 3 stars, I am still willing to consider Nimbus Note if I can train myself to remember that I can only use it on the desktop for the foreseeable future. Overall, Nimbus checks a lot of boxes specifically for the learning curve & ease-of-use. Since support has promised me to correct the calendar issue in an upcoming release, I won't list it as a con. Right now, the calendar column type is off by one day and does not line up with the current date which makes that feature totally unusable for me (e.g. Saturday 11/7 shows up as 11/6). The lack of mobile features will be a deal-breaker though.

Pros:
- Responsive support team!
- Easy to master, templates; clean UI
- Different column types
- Folder structure, tags
- Searchable within a note & across the workspace
- Love that I can easily identify which notes have been publicly shared
- Capture and all its share to options is the shizzle!!

Cons:
- Personal vs Business workspace confusing
- 50GB storage vs 5GB mobile syncing confusing (this is what I got from support "When you bought 50GB storage on AppSumo, your personal organization has been upgraded to PRO plan. So it's Personal organization limit.")
- Android app doesn't have Organization switching which means in order to save a note while browsing on mobile, I have to make sure the Organization I want to clip to is already selected (workaround is to use a single organization & mix biz/personal
- ONLY text column type is supported on mobile devices which nullifies all the fancy templates I created on desktop to use on-the-go (i.e. no dropdowns are supported on mobile)
- Note menu does not function at all on Chromebook (Add to favorites, move, print, appearance etc) (sent support a video and they're looking into it but this also makes it a deal-breaker if I can't edit on-the-go)
- Don't love that the Capture URL for YouTube looks different when embedded compared to a traditional YouTube embed

Nimbus Note is the first time I sufficiently tested a deal and felt compelled to share my thoughts. I used to be an Evernote user and gave up years ago with all the pricing changes. Switched to Google Keep which I hated but just kept because Notion was too much for my brain. I want to love Nimbus and I want to keep this (maybe even stack for storage) but I'm not sure the functionality I need will come online soon enough.
