Ratings and Reviews
Great app which works cross-platform
It would be really good if we can get more customisable options for paper colour. Fountain pen works more like a regular pen Noteshelf 3 fountain pen works better. No option for pencil yet. I mostly use it with my Galaxy S9 FE.
Needs improvement severely especially the ink ( a pro user)
There are many improvements needed as listed below
1.) the ink isn’t smooth like goodnotes or notability, you can clearly see serrations on zooming or even as we write which only resolves partially after completing the writing , so needs massive changes especially ink so as to make it smooth
2.) please allow the thumbnail to be in a side bar rather then in a pop up window so as to navigate easily and add option to add thumbnail bookmarks outlines and annotations in a sidebar window especially while editing a pdf
3.) like liquid text or margin note pls add ability to see all highlights and annotations or card excerpts of pdfs at one place
4.) add ability to use highlighter above text also
5.) please add better native templates
6.) make handwriting searchable
7.) integrate image playground
8.) option to add cover for notebooks
9.) add pencil and water pen options
10.) favourites pen bar
11.) better pdf handling since it crashes more often then other pdf apps like Xodo or goodnotes
Notes get deleted
Hello everyone. After using this app, I compelled myself to write a review here for you all. It's one of the worst app for note making, though it has simple and easy to use app. Always my notes get deleted, and shows please wait for downloading & my sync gets stucked in mid. I've faced this issue multiple times, and its customer support is poorest of the poor. If we message them, it's their will to resolve. They just say that we are not seeing any issue at our end, so it's fine. And only we can email to share our issues. Please don't waste your money here, instead goodnotes, though I've not used it as of now, yet I can say that must be good as compared to this one. So, please don't waste your money here. Thanks
