The Quip website suggests that people brush both between meals and at morning and night. Maybe the big tube is meant to be shared, maybe I wasn't using it enough. Hilburg, though, told me that that size container "would probably be a good amount for three months." Just like with the Quip brush, I didn't feel the need to buy more toothpaste, either, as I hadn't finished their three-month, 4.7-ounce tube of toothpaste. Quip also sells a combined brush head and toothpaste refill package, which ships every three months and costs $10 per refill. However, the packaging on my regular-old Oral-B toothbrush also recommends getting a new toothbrush every three months. I've reached out to Quip to see if they'd consider less frequent brush head subscriptions. Not observing any of these issues in my Quip brush head, I've continued to use it. Hilburg told me that the need for new brushes (or brush heads in this case) won't be the same for all brushes, but depends on how "the bristles hold up over time." She elaborated, noting that if "bristles become crushed, lose their shape or become too floppy they are less effective."
#Quip review 2017 pro#
The Oral-B Pro 1000 costs the same $45 to start, but it sells you eight replacement heads for $13, which breaks down to $1.63 per head, as opposed to the $5 heads from Quip. I don't begrudge millenials or the "fun" elements that are included, but give me the useful business functionality we have all become accustomed to over the past couple of decades if you truly want to compete for our word processing and spreadsheet needs.Compared with other electric toothbrushes with replaceable heads, though, the Quip is affordable at first, but more expensive down the road.
#Quip review 2017 software#
Really? And that is more important for business communications? I'm guessing this software is being created by a bunch of millennials. Yet, one apparently "necessary" feature is that you can add an emoji or animated meme to your comments within a document. I've tried appealing to them but so far, no luck. I recently had a huge, very collaborative project that I wanted to base out of Quip and THE ONLY REASON I couldn't use Quip was because it had to be color coded and Quip doesn't do that.
#Quip review 2017 code#
As a business professional for the past 25 years, I can tell you there are instances where you need to color code text. One of my biggest gripes is that Quip believes it is "distracting and not necessary" (their words) to have the option of changing the color of the text. My annoyances with this software stem from the features - what is there and what is not there. Bullet points and numbered lists that fill 25% of my column with (yet more) white-space are not beautiful. Their website states "Quip's emphasis on simplicity and on enabling you to create documents that look beautiful and consistent on any device" Sorry to say that it fails.
Why is the folder name listed AFTER the page name? All other applications list a folder structure as Parent folder followed by Child content.Īnd finally, why are the predefined formats so inappropriate and not customizable. (Why is there a blue line that extends for 50% of the column?) Impossible to figure out what is going on with columns on a page. Only 1 comment per sentence, even though I can select parts of the sentence. Selecting text bottom up produces a different result to selecting text from the top down. I am continuously asking 'why does it do that'? The UI does not behave as expected, it is inconsistent and much of what I produce is achieved through trial-and-error (admittedly, I have not had training in Quip, maybe a training course might help to explain some of my Whys).
