Exactly what I wanted

I do lots of rough freehand site sketches for scanning and emailing to suppliers and contractors for them to prepare quotes. This app was very easy to learn to use and enables me to sketch, add photos in the relevant position and email my sketch - with a wifi connection- before I leave site. Productivity and speed of response to my customers has improved. Well worth the purchase on the first job alone.

Below average note taking app

Bought this to take notes at university. Really unhappy with the fact you can only write/draw with a fountain pen which personally makes my writing look scruffy. Also unhappy with the fact you cannot zoom in when writing meaning it’s quite difficult to write with the Apple Pencil. Would not have bought if I knew you could not change pen type or zoom in.

Good update but need to improve

I am very glad the app's update. The paper is not moved unexpected. I like the app, at least don't like 'notes plus' cheating customer. Notes plus is rubbish, it use picture mislead customer. When I bought the app, I though I can write words like the picture showing, but finally I find the words are typed using hand writing style. I am very angry for that cheat behaviour. Whatever, anyway, I have some suggestions, comparing your and notes plus, this app have good hand writing, but not enough, I still write uglily words, I trust my hand writing, so I definitely know it's not my fault. Part of the pen, part of the app. I hope you can update the app, which can auto remedy our writing, such as if we chose some optional like 'Cambria', when we write down a word, the system auto remedy our writing to 'Cambria' style. I have other suggestion about muti-touch problem, I have found a mac app, which can test the area of touch, in my opinion, since the pen touch area is always smaller than hand touch, is that possible limited the area in an range. So only pen can be detected. Thanks.
