Great alternative to goodnotes

After getting backstabbed by Goodnotes with the forced subscription for the latest version, I decided to try this app after seeing recommendations from TikTok and ngl it’s pretty good for the fact that it’s free and there’s more functions than gn6. Used the app for a week and I’m getting he hang of it. Thank you to the developers for not being greedy towards us broke students. I’m happy to watch ads to support the developers. Hopefully my notes will be safe here, I think there were some iCloud backup failures but I can still backup by saving file.

good app, suggestions

dont get me wrong, i love freenotes since its the only notetaking app i can comfortably use, this is just my feedback since its a relatively new platform:

1. there is this issue where if i create a notebook with a format other than rule, after the few pages the default page becomes rule rather than the format i initially chose. for example, if i create a grid notebook, after about 5 pages of grid or so, the next pages will automatically become rule and i have to manually add grid pages. this bug is annoying when im taking fast notes in a fast paced lecture and i have to keep manually adding pages because it disrupts the format of my notes so far. so, my suggestion is for each specific notebook to have a ‘default page format’ option where each notebook can stick to one format

2. saw this in another review and agreed, it would be great to include a ‘scribble to erase’ function because it would make things so much faster so pls consider! :)

3. if there could be a landscape notebook option, that would be AMAZEBALLS. like it would save me because it would be way better visualisation for mind maps, diagrams, even flashcards like i think this would be an awesome feature

thanks for reading have a nice day! developers please please consider looking into implementing these features, if it’s a technical issue i’d totally understand but i feel that at the very least please try to fix the problems in other waysssss

Great app, but there are areas for improvement

I am extremely grateful to the creators of this app for giving me a free and easy-to-use, as well as streamlined experience. The backup allows me to easily access my stuff from any device, and the pens feature are also easy-to-use and convenient. However, first sights do matter. Honestly, the home page of the app should be made to look more modern, with rounded edges for documents and an ability to select a theme. The note interface should have the undo, redo, create page, audio etc that are already in the left of the toolbar to be moved to the right, with only the “back” button on the left. The eraser should be more convenient, and multi-purpose (Can erase everything).
