CollaNote: Notes & PDF Markup 4+

So, I already wrote a review, taking about this great app!

I already made a review, but I found a problem…please fix it :(
I do notes often in the public note room, talk to people, draw, (sometimes, bc I’m not an artist in the app) One day, I made some notes and decided to save it, the disc said “if u have noted u want to save, please click the “stop collaboration” button”. I thought it meant the note would be saved into a new file, I was wrong. I’m stuck in the public room thing, I can’t see other peeps, it says only I’m online :(( I have trouble with Chinese so Chinese people help me, please fix this. I’m sad, bc of this I’m using the app less, bc it makes me less productive. (I’m lonely okay-).

Ngl though, I LOVE THIS APP, it has a bunch of awesome features and so many colours, my fav is blue, teal, black white green and pink. Light pink :) this app is sooooooooooo helpful! I 100% reccomend it. Please fix this error or something I cannot fix. My first name in that app is “diamond” no caps. If u need my email, CollaNotes, please send me a reply back. Thank you!!

An impressive free app with functions comparable to the other paid apps,

I am totally new to digital note taking and stumble upon CollaNote while researching for an app that is user-friendly to have a first try. Totally blown away by the available functions and more impressive that this app is totally free! I can’t say enough thanks to the developer, a university student who is generous enough to share his work to other fellow students and anyone interested in digital note-taking.

The public notes and questions page is an interesting aspect not available in any other note-taking apps, which allows anyone using the app to try out the functions and interact with other fellow users all over the world (need to sign in for such collaboration).

Thank you again for making this wonderful app, I can’t wait to experiment other new functions in the next update! (^_^)

Developer Response ,

You should have the opportunity to do so now - the update came out today - have fun with it ... Greetings, Quốc Huy

Most customizable features are LOCKED OFF

Originally this would have been 5 stars, but i docked stars because they made like half of the features paid, back then, i liked using this app solely because everything was free, it had ever i asked for, but now some customization features have been locked out, (eg. the custom wallpaper and colored UI, the folder covers and the stickers) I understand that this app has to make some money somehow, but instead of locking out old and well loved features, how about making new features a paid feature?

This app started off as a completely free useful note app, but now its starting to become what the free version of goodnotes5 is. I appreciate how they didn't limit the amount of notes made, because if they did i would just leave this app and find a better one instead.
Im not a user that likes spending money on apps, and im sure some users just dont have access to spend money on apps either. I hope im not asking for much, but please, at least consider making the customization features free again!
