Fantastic app for my office and home notes

I have used Notability, then moved to GoodNotes for its folder structure. Now I have moved to Noteful and I am loving it. I came across a review of it by Paperless Student on utube and that is how I was introduced to it. What I like - 1. Very responsive developers. They get back quickly and even incorporate ur suggestions in the next version. That is fast. 2. Very intuitive with many additional functionalities. 3. Excellent writing experience. U feel like writing on paper even though I am writing on glass screen protector. 4. Hash tag for folder structure. This is awesome 5. Layers for putting additions. 6. So far bug free. I am using it for taking notes for all my client meetings and church sermon notes. Excellent user experience so far. Continue to look forward for their enhancements.
17Sept2022: Love the added the ability to add Folders. Now I am using Folders and Tags. Fantastic.

HIGH QUALITY NOTE TAKING AT A CHEAP PRICE!

Literally the best notes app i have ever used. The full version is put at a suitable and affordable price, and it’s a one time purchase! Most of the note apps I’ve used only lets you use the bare minimum of the app until you purchase a subscription for an absurd price (cough cough, notability). This app, allows the user to use most of the apps features (with only slight limitations) so that the user can use the apps given features to actually do something instead of being forced to buy a subscription. I personally use it for doodles and small art projects, but i can tell that if you’re looking for a good digital notebook, than this is the place for you 😋

One little thing though, not major but slightly annoying, you can rotate the canvas, but I think we can all work around that.

Better Than All Others!

I’ve used both GoodNotes and Notability for my studying, and since I have multiple subjects I had to choose between the three to purchase, and chose Noteful. Cheapest subscription FOR LIFE, fantastic writing feeling, 10 free notebooks which gave me a lot more of a chance for me to use the app before purchase. The only thing I wish it had from other apps is the double tap undo, like a drawing app, which would make things just that much more convenient, so if the developers could look into adding this feature it would be great, but otherwise, I have no complaints with this app!
