Noteshelf 3: Digital Notes 4+

Towards Right Direction

I recently got introduced to Noteshelf after using Goodnotes and Notability for a long time. I am still in my exploration phase and yet to use the app to its full potential. I would like to add some suggestions as a consumer-
1. The app needs to improve the pencil sensitivity for handwriting. It lacks a certain level of smoothness compared to other note-making apps.
2. I am unable to change the page colour of the downloaded template within the app. For example- If the Cornell template is downloaded within the app, when the template has been downloaded in white mode then it cannot be changed to other desired colours. It will be a great if an option to change the colour of downloaded template be made available.
3. Creation of a sub-folder is a bit cumbersome. I understand that Noteshelf has been created to organise notes efficiently automatically but when I try to stack two notes to make a different folder. The selected notebooks are unable to detect that and there is lot of activity. Thus, making it difficult to stack two notebooks in a new single group.

If Noteshelf is available to rectify such details keeping in mind the user’s recommendations. It may soon become the most sought after app.

We are continuously working on improving the app's features and functionality. Regarding your suggestions # 1 & 2, we understand the importance of pencil sensitivity for handwriting and the ability to change the page color of downloaded templates. We have noted these points and will consider them for future updates. As for suggestion # 3, pls make sure you're not trying to group while in the 'Home' Category as grouping is not allowed in this all notebooks view. You can do this from individual Categories. And to avoid the issue altogether, we'll be soon providing an option to group items from the Add Menu of the shelf, pls stay tuned for this.

Awesome App

This App is far better than Notability, I’ve transferred all my notes from notability to noteshelf 3. Notability was too laggy & too unresponsive to use. I’ve only one request from the developers, they have already provided the massive collection of Templates, there is just one single addition of Template is what I request to complete your app. i.e., A notebook with 12 Sections & few page templates within. I used legal page with wide lines the most. This is the only one request from me. Apart from that, I already read that you are making noteshelf 3 a cross platform app, that will be awesome to see soon, to use notes on Ipad & Pc. If you can give certain timeline on this too. That will be helpful too. Waiting for cross platform features in this app. I knew this app since 2013 from samsung tab. When noteshelf UI was used to be a wooden book rack with 3 or 4 shelfs. You people have came long way & is doing a great job. Launch cross platform app ability & be successful like word app in note taking space. God may bless you for creating such a wonderful app. Add one basic feature to Justify content as in MS Word.

Developer Response ,

Thank you so much for your kind words and detailed feedback! We truly appreciate your support and are thrilled to hear that you find Noteshelf 3 better than other note-taking apps. Your request for a notebook with 12 sections with wide wide-ruled legal page template is duly noted. Just wanted to know, are you already aware that you can custom create templates &/or have already tried to create this yourself & faced any issues with the process? We'd like to know so we can improve accordingly. We do support Justify options even now except for the 4th one for squared text & this is also on our future to-do. We are also excited about the upcoming cross-platform feature and will keep you updated on the timeline. Your loyalty since 2013 means a lot to us. Thank you for being a part of the Noteshelf community!

Not worth thousand bucks, but room for improvement

Hi there, I recently purchased this app for my notebook and PDF reading app for studies and this app is really glitchy for starters. It starts when I try to zoom in. It’s not fluid at all, whereas I have also used good notes which is really fluid while trying to zoom in a zoom out or load any page. 2nd, and the most irritating thing is whenever I try to zoom again, some or sometimes or of the content on the page gets disappeared, and it’s just blank screen, and when I zoom out the content reappears, it’s not a one-time thing as I’ve tried it again, many times, and this problem still persists. Third is the limited feature of using the AI. It only allows to use the AI feature for 30 times after which we have to wait for 30 days, which is really a long time for it to reset for the API tokens. Fourth and the last issue is its difficult and trying to make a PDF using the text inbox which is really buggy. Whenever I try to change the size or anything. It brings a keyboard out of nowhere, can’t select or edit a whole paragraph or change the entire font size. it would be great if you can make these changes or if possible, just refund my money. Thank you.
