Ratings and Reviews
Highly recommend
Downloaded the app because I wanted an alternative to Notability who increased their subscription price this year. Admittedly, I didn’t have high expectations but the app is basically perfect. It does what I want it to do (let me take notes from lectures) and more (AI feature, expanded note taking area, video feature so I can watch my lecture at the same time). The main reason why I stuck with notability for so long was because it was so responsive to the double tap undo function, and the highlighting tool doesn’t cover up the text. It seems minor but Freenote is the only other app that manages to do this! After my subscription with notability is over, I will most likely migrate to this app. The only feature that I think could be improved on is allowing us to save brush/pencil sizes and colour so it’s easily accessible (for example, if you select the pencil tool, there’s a dropdown box with saved colours and size that we can switch between). If the developers could implement that feature, I’d be over the moon!
Best App for Students
I have never actually written a review on any app because I have never really felt compelled to. This app has truly saved my grades and also saved me lots and lots of time. This app is simple with everything you need in a note taking app but delivers in quality. The best thing about this app personally is the import feature because it’s so useful to answer exam questions and download lecture slides ahead of lesson so I am more prepared. No unnecessary ads that distract me while I’m working and I don’t need to pay for the bare minimum. In fact, there isn’t an app that is close to this app in terms of its quality. I really recommend this app for not just students but anyone who, like me cannot afford to pay lots of money for the bare minimum in a note taking app or anyone who is looking for a good quality simple note taking app. This app is truly a game changer.
Best free note taking app
This is the first review I have ever written for an app but I felt it had to be done because of how good this app is. Not only does it provide so many features but it is also free and with no sneaky hidden costs. I decided to try this app out because as a student I couldn’t justify paying for apps like goodnotes where there is a subscription/payment just to use it. I feel that this app has everything and more to offer. I have only used it for a week but it continues to surprise me, and with all it has to offer I wouldn’t mind paying for it in the future as a contribution to all the hard work they have put in. It has levelled up my note taking helping me to create concise cohesive and aesthetic notes, so much better than word/files on apple.
