Ratings and Reviews
A very worthwhile purchase - I love it so much!
Thank you so much devs for creating a wonderful app! The one-time purchase is so much more worth it than the more expensive subscription that other apps ask for! Even the free version has a lot to offer-- this is such an insanely underrated app!! I make sure to recommend it to all my friends over goodn0tes or n0tability I love how customisable the UI toolbar is, and the pen stabiliser feature is the best! It makes my handwritten notes look so much neater
A few suggestions:
Please, please add an infinite canvas format! As someone that uses mindmaps to study this is a really important feature
The available page designs/formats are really limited compared to every other app. A community marketplace can be added for us to download pages designed by users
Make adding text easier. Could follow the text format of Apple Notes, where text is added separately and not as a textbox, to better combine handwritten and typed notes, since many people tend to use both note-taking methods
Thank you again for a great app! I hope the feedback of the users can be taken into account for future updates! <3
2 Improvements Suggestion
1. to allow option to be able to press “next” for pages (preferably also on the tools bar) instead of typing number on right hand corner
2. to allow option setting of not automatically centralised document pages as it’s hard to write on the edge side of the pages.
Thank you if you’re considering the suggestion and honestly this apps had almost everything i wanted for a note taking apps. Thank you for such wonderful creation and make it affordable.
iCloud and google Drive backup
There is iCloud and google drive in noteful. To do so u have to turn on auto backup and sync on both devices in the app. It should be under settings. It works for iCloud however I am unsure if it works for google drive. (Not sure if backup is available for the free version)
