I’ve been using high quality well thought out note apps since the release of the first iPad and have experienced their respective evolutions. I recently discovered ‘Prodrafts’ and was first impressed by the beautiful pen handwriting strokes. Furthermore, the e-paper will easily fill the entire screen in both landscape and portrait if one desires, offering an actual canvas feel for a more creative/artsy sensation. But it’s also definitely an excellent note taking app offering a plethora of very fine and useful tools. I like using the word ‘impactful’ in describing my initial feelings and ‘imagination’ in the various ways this app is extremely useful and can be implemented. The designer(s) have done a great job and continue to do so. It’s also nice to be able to purchase the full version rather than paying for a monthly subscription and the price is very reasonable and very worth it. I also truly appreciate the paper options such as the journal style paper. There’s so many ways to do so many things and is unique from other note-taking, journal, creative thinking applications. An individual can utilize a more conservative style and/or cause things to pop!! Love it and thank you.
Great app with lots potential but need some improvements

Personally I love the idea of unlimited writing paper, especially for studying biology, medicine related subjects. I appreciate the use of apple’s innate writing system, which somehow shows a prettier writing than the ones on apps like notability/GoodNotes. However, the lack of lasso select function is honestly very annoying, almost discouraging. There’re multiple times I want to move a segments of writing to another location for better idea categorizing, but I can’t. I even purchased the premium upgrade, because I thought this function is included based on the description of “expanded pencil tool”, but it’s not.Speaking of the upgrade, I haven’t experience a major user improvement with the $7 premium upgrade. The shape function, at least for me, is meh. I don’t mind having an imperfect circle or arrow. I don’t really need that much extra pencil setting space on the side. Maybe there’re more functions available, but I haven’t find them as useful nor necessary (which I understand this is why the upgrade is optional).Overall, it is a great app even without the upgrade. I can see it having lots of potential becoming a more mainstream productivity app. However, I really hope it can implement some sort of cloud backup option (even one way backup to the third party app like google drive could be helpful), and please please include the selection function I mentioned.
Best note taking app

I have been a life long user of Notability and Goodnotes 5, until I stumbled across this app. There are so many features that are useful and I feel like it’s the combination of those two popular options all merged together. There’s the option to have infinite canvas, which is what I need for mind map notes. Then there are traditional linear notes which is really cool as well. You can import your own templates if youd like, but the original one works pretty well too. The tools like lasso, eraser, pens are straight forward and they also have the Apple tool bar as well, just like the notes app. The most important factor for me is I can FINALLY lock the zoom to a certain percent so I could keep my handwriting consistent. After testing out for half an hour, I immediately purchased the unlimited, which is still cheaper than Goodnotes or Notability. There are still phrases that are not completely translated into English from Chinese, but that is very minimal and did not affect the experience at all. Overall, I am so glad to find this app, and I would highly recommend you try it out!
A Fluid, Light, and Feature-Complete App

This app is the best note-taking app I’ve ever used. It uses Apple’s native drawing toolbar, but gives you the option to make presets for the brush style and color, with double-tap undo. Instantly, you get native writing feel and performance, with none of the drawbacks. You get the best anti-aliasing: no more jagged and progressively more pixelated strokes when you zoom out away from the writing, everything looks great at any zoom level. Then there’s the infinite canvas, but it’s the most optimized and polished infinite canvas I’ve ever come across. I’ve never seen it lag once, even for big notes, unlike with the native Freeform app and Concepts, which become basically unusable for notes beyond a certain size. The canvas drag acceleration is tuned to a T: quick initial acceleration with a sharp falloff. It’s a small detail but something that makes using the app enjoyable and something that I cannot unsee in Concepts. The combination of native drawing performance and look, with a smooth canvas, has already made the experience of mind-mapping and solving math equations the best out of any other app I’ve used. But upon the already well-polished basic features, you can split screen the same infinite canvas file? Sheesh. The only complaint I have about this app would be the small flickering of text when I’m writing zoomed out of the text. I think this effect happens because when you put the pen to the screen the ink brightens slightly, and then when you lift the pen off the screen, the ink dampens. The rapid movement of the pen when writing causes this lighting and dampening effect to happen at shorter intervals, which makes the text look like it flickers. But, this is a small issue, and it’s imperceptible at zoom levels higher than 50%, so it doesn’t bother me most of the time. This is an amazing, well-polished, and feature-complete app. It inspires me everytime I sit down and use it. I would highly, highly recommend you give it a try.
• Refined calculator layout and workflows for scientific calculations, history and unit conversions.
• Improved floating stopwatch and countdown controls. Reset now waits for you to start again, and dragging feels more natural.
• Smoother equation editing and keyboard switching in text documents.
• Refined menu interactions and fixed interface details.
