Great app

Honestly I was contemplating whether to get the lifetime version of Noteful (~8.70 CAD $$) or subscribe/buy another app. After 3 months of constantly using the app, I can confidently say that it is such a useful note taking application. The devs frequently update some minor bugs and/or change/modify Noteful. I use it for all my college classes and it does the job. I do think I can utilize the tags and layers more but I’ve yet to actually try it.

Switched from notability

Great “simple” note taking app that doesn’t distract you with unnecessary tools while reading.

Feature request

Hey, I really like the app but I would love if you could implement a quality of life feature. I don't want to have to create a new page manually every time so it would be handy to have a system that creates a new page every time it sees that there's writing on the last page. Other than that, 10/10 app.
