Great but one feature is missing

App is great, works well, but please enable full screen mode. Why do I need that top bar there when I am not editing my document.

The best notes app that can't be recommended

I have never been as frustrated with an app as I am with this one. The app boasts a great design, and its support for both iPads and Macs positions it as a strong competitor to alternative apps like Notability or GoodNotes. However, the app suffers from some major issues that prevent me from recommending it in its current state.

The primary concern is the absence of subfolder support. I would like to organize my notes by semester and then by course, but unfortunately, that isn't possible. As a result, I end up with a single, chaotic collection of notes, categorized into private and school notes, and it's becoming a significant challenge to keep track of them.

The most significant problem with this app, however, is its stability. I frequently encounter situations where the app freezes and becomes unusable, especially during lectures when I'm unable to take notes for several minutes. This occurs during various uses of the app, such as opening notes, exporting, writing, or simply scrolling through them. Even resetting the app doesn't resolve the issue; I have to wait for it to resume functioning.

I tested the app for an entire semester, hoping these bugs would be addressed, but unfortunately, that didn't happen. I didn't receive any feedback from the developers when I emailed them. Therefore, I urge the developers to address, at the very least, the stability issue. I would love to continue using your app, but its current state is prompting me to explore alternative options.
