Notes Writer Pro 2024 4+

Nearly perfect

This is a fantastic app for taking notes, documenting and minimising the need for paper. The only features I would like to see that would make this THE perfect app for taking notes would be;
1) The ability to synch new documents I create to Google Drive and/or OneDrive instead of just iCloud to allow for better inter-device compatibility.
2) Automatic shape recognition when using the handwriting feature ie. if I free-draw a triangle, the software will convert that to a clean version of the shape I've drawn, along with the option to rotate that shape.
3) Double-tap ability to change between the pencil/pen and eraser functions more swiftly when writing.
4) The ability to use the eraser function to remove the highlighting from text, leaving the text underneath intact.

STAY AWAY FROM IT, BUY Good Notes INSTEAD...

Where to begin. Firstly i purchased this app a few months ago and have been using everyday in my workflow after a few months of using it and getting to know it i just hate it and regret buying it. Over the past few years i have tested countless note taking apps and since the apple pencil launched countless apps have popped up. By far this is the worst I have ever used. The UI isn’t great but usable when you try to write something with a Apple Pencil can glitch out and just start writing where it pleases. I have also noticed since i have purchased it, with every update it just gets worse and worse and now it is just terrible because originally there was a good note document called sketch and this was the only feature that i got along with while i was using this app and in the most recent update it has been removed and is nowhere to be found and in its place there is something called scribble note. This is basically the Apple Notes app toolbar combined with NotesWriter with this mixture of toolbars from both NotesWriter and apple it simply makes the app unusable as both toolbars conflict with each other making it almost impossible to get a good user experience out of this app.
I myself will be switching to GoodNotes as a result of the very poor quality of this app. I would recommend that you stay away from NotesWriter and instead give your money to GoodNotes as it is far far better and you will not regret the purchase like i am now.

Hello! Thanks for your comments. Seems that you may be confused: the "Sketch" notes are now "Scribble" notes. We didn't removed the old ones, just renamed the menu option on the "+" button. Regarding your other comments, we take good note! ;)

Great, nearly perfect.

I’ve tried all the other note taking apps and only needed a few features. One was url links within the notes, which this has may of the others don’t. This also has great basic drawing tools so you can modify shapes and lines after they have been created. It also has LaTeX support so you can add in equations as needed. I was only looking for a note taking app with the url functionality, smooth hand writing, and flexible basic drawing tools so all the extra features are a huge plus for me. The only issue I had was with the mini keyboard on an iPad Pro causing the whole page I was working on to jump off screen. This didn’t happen if I used the full width keyboard so that will be my workaround for now. Overall, Great app, and glad I found one that did all things I needed. I hope the minor issue with the keyboard gets fixed soon, then, for me, it would be perfect.

Edit: just after I wrote this there was an update which fixed this. Excellent to see such speedy development and support.
