Ratings and Reviews
Lovely app
This app has all functions of my dreams! Keep up the good work :) I have bought the premium version. However I have encountered a problem: Occasional crashes. Sometimes when I write on a note, my whole iPad will lag and be stuck in a reboot loop. Today it even lagged when I tried to delete notes. Is it because I inserted too many pages in one notebook (my largest notebook has over 100 pages) or has Noteful met its full capacity? (My iPad said it occupied 10+GB of storage though I don’t see where that came from). I really want to solve this problem so please leave me a reply :) Thank you so much
Developer Response ,
Thank you for your feedback. To fully delete a notebook, please go to library's Trashed folder and tap "Delete All". Noteful should be able to handle large notebook. Could you record a video and send it to us so we can understand how the lagging occur. Our support email is support@getnoteful.com. Thank you very much. Keep in touch.
I hope to automatically sort bookmarks by page number when they are added.
Each time I add a bookmark, it doesn't automatically sort by page number. Manually sorting them one by one is very troublesome, and I hope this can be improved. It's truly a great app, with more comprehensive features than GoodNotes and Notability. The tags are also very useful. Despite this small flaw, the app remains excellent.
Good but still need improvement
I love that I can freely change the size of the pages, so that I can have more empty space to jot notes. But it will be perfect if we can search the content of the notes in the homepage, now we can only search titles and tags in homepage only; if we want to search content in the notes, we have to click into the notes... but what if i forget where the content is... And it will be better if we can search the handwritten words...
