Highly recommended. Have many style of pen. Need time to learn all the function. I used it most amongst other similar notes taking apps.
Good,but still need to be improved

Very Powerful software for making notes. Fully supporting pencils like 53 is quite useful for me. But there are some drawbacks in my personal view. I hope that the developers can see this:(1)When I'm using google drive and enable the automatic back up within an existing folder in the drive, there will be many folders created automatically by zoomnotes in google drive, which is quite annoying.(2)If I put my hands on the screen and try to write, the page will be magnified too easily, which makes trouble for smoothly writing.(3)Since we can use gestures to turn pages, why not make it easier. I wonder if there is a way to turn pages smoothly like notability.Zoomnotes is powerful, but some drawbacks mentioned above feel more convenient to use another software. It would be perfect if it can take advantages of similar software like notability.
It’s stable now!

I’ve stopped using ZoomNotes because it crashes several times & lost all my works! Recently, I come back & give the new version another try, it’s now very stable! The unlimited whiteboard with unlimited zoomable feature is excellent, no other tools come close to it! My brain will not be limited to a page boundary, I could now smoothly record my dreams as far as my mind goes!
Not for drawing diagram

I can’t even draw straight lines which link together. There is no system to help me draw horizontal or vertical lines. All my straight lines end up being inclined. Have you thought about people may need to draw polygons?
Support for PDF annotation comments - long press and choose ‘Comment’. You can import pdf files with these comments in as well as export then to a PDF file.
Fix for youtube previews
Datable tag can now be used for calendar shapes on day pages
Other enhancements and optimisations
