Ratings and Reviews
Good App, missing some key features and a little polish.
Good
- The writing experience is the best of any app I’ve used on the iPad and believe me I’ve tried them all.
- Simple but functional Ui
- Very good performance
Bad:
-lacks image support.
-lacks multi window.
-crashes frequently. If I leave the app in the background for more than a few minutes, when I return it will crash exactly three times before I can start using it again.
- poor palm rejection, the app frequently zooms in while I am writing with my palm rested on the screen.
Works really well, in fact
I think the very negative, one-star review comes from not reading the guide (which is perfectly clear) and believing that the Mac app is the main app (it's not; all it does is pick up what you're doing on your iPad/iPhone; that's the whole point!).
The Mac app is limited – the developer calls it a "viewer app" for a reason: it allows you to open notes created on your iDevice, and scroll around the (infinite) canvas. The infinite canvas is the really useful thing here! The actual notes are edited/saved/exported on your iDevice; the Mac app doesn't have any extensive functionality apart from viewing. You can, of course, always take a screenshot of specific areas of your infinite canvas if you so wish.
Whether that's useful to you will depend on your needs. There are many other drawing apps for macOS/iOS that do more. What I personally like, when drawing stuff on my iPad, is the fact that I hvae an infinite canvas – not many apps provide this functionality at such a low price.
I would love to see export capabilities on the Mac app; I think that's an unfortunate omission, hence my deduction of one star. But otherwise, it's a good app!
Truly Pointless
Whilst other reviewers point out that this is a viewer this is totally unclear from the naming of the Mac App. Truly baffling. The help reads more like an intro into Tau or mysticism rather than something that gets to the point of how to use it.
