買うべき人とそうでない人は分かれると感じる
ほぼ毎日,仕事と私生活両方で利用させていただいています。
ありがとうございます。
とても便利で助かります。
ただ,このアプリを購入すべき人と,そうでない人は明確に別れると感じます。
ただ画像に書き込みをしたり,メモを取ったりするだけの利用目的であれば,(もちろんこのアプリでも可能ですが)他のアプリで十分だと思います。(なんなら標準メモアプリでも)
また,手書きじゃないテキスト入力は弱いと感じるので,そういった利用が多い方も別のアプリが選択肢になると思います。
Apple Pencil を利用して手書きでとにかくメモをとったり,PDFに書き込みをしたりする方にとっては大変使いやすいアプリになると思います。
ただ,現状恐らくバグと思われる挙動もあり,少し困っています。
一部のページを選択してPDF出力する際,書き込んだ内容が出力されません。
大量ページのPDFに書き込みを行い,一部を他の人に共有する,という場面が多くあるのですが,これが出来ないため全ページ出力してから切り出す等の対応が必要になります。
他にもあくまで要望ですが,
手書きの拡大入力ボックス(?)の上部にundoやペン・消しゴムの選択等の操作ボタンをおけるようにして欲しいです。
ほんのわずかな距離ですが,Apple Pencilでの入力時に画面上部までペンを持って行くのが若干めんどくさいです。
もしくは,ジェスチャで各操作を割り当てられるようになって欲しいです。
(指2本スワイプでundo, redo出来る等)
色々書きましたが,圧倒的に使いやすいのは事実です。
だからこそ,バグ等の「後もう少し」が気になってしまいました。
これからも応援しています。よろしくお願いします。
(メジャーver更新の際には再購入でも構わないと思っているぐらいです)
6から5へのダウングレード方法
5を買い切ったのに6にアプデしてしまい、ノートの上限3冊に引っかかっている方へ
私もこの状態になってしまい、困ってネットで調べたら出てきました。
・画面右上の設定ボタンを押す
・さらに設定を選択
・下の方にダウングレードという選択肢が出てきます
ひとまず戻せて安心しました
同じく絶望している方へ届くと嬉しいです
