Ratings and Reviews
Lovely app, please add more features!
I am really enjoying this app; the writing is so smooth and the ability to pick any colour under the sun is lovely. Overall, I really like how this app looks and feels. As for feedback, I have a few suggestions. 1. Getting your own stickers into the app is quite a frustrating process, so it would be nice to have the ability to turn images, handwriting and sketches into stickers from within your app. 2. Another feature I am desperate to see is the proper usage of folders - please get rid of the ‘all notes’ section!!! It is ugly, chaotic and unorganised. Once you move a note into a folder or sub-folder, it should disappear from the plae you moved it from, like it would on a PC. We can already search for documents, so there is no need to also have an ‘all notes’ section. 3. As others have said, it would be a good idea to also focus on the drawing features within your app; being able to flip a selection vertically and horizontally, being able to rotate a selection without it changing in size, and being able to edit shapes / curves once they’re drawn down. SUMMARY: Brilliant app, well worth the spend, super excited to see what updates you add next!!
Some feature requests
I like the writing smoothing in this app- it’s why I switched from GoodNotes 6 but there are a few things I’m missing. Firstly, why can I not flip selections horizontally or vertically? Or rotate things whilst ensuring the size is kept constant. It makes it really annoying for me to draw more accurate sketches of things like plots. I would also love to have the writing box feature from GoodNotes in here. Also I wish I could edit curve paths after having drawn them like in GoodNotes. Please work on your image editing and curve drawing tools!
Exactly what I was looking for!
I’m a teacher and have been using digital notes to organise my work daily, for many years. I’m familiar with most if not all of the top notetaking apps but have yet to find one the Holy Grail: a combination the amazing organisation of Notability or Goodnotes but with the superior, smooth fountain pen writing experience of Apple Notes, Nebo or Flow. This app seems to have it all! I haven’t experienced any of the crashing mentioned in other reviews but really hoping the most recent update has provided a fix for this. So far, it’s excellent and I will update this app if I notice anything otherwise. Thanks guys!
