I recently got Noteful and Notewise, cause my Goodnotes 5 is already outdated. I refuse a subscription and the one-purchase went times pricier than what Goodnotes 5 costed me. While Noteful has been a great replacement for Goodnotes, Notewise is incredible, although I've used it very very little. The one and only thing that has kept me from switching to Notewise and never looking back to the other apps, is the fact that it lacks Layers. Idk if it exists for the premium version, but since I haven't seen it, is the only thing that keeps me from moving into the app, but I've checked the other stuff and it's mind-blowing. I love all the features it has! Noteful feels primitive in comparison. Please, just add Layers and I won't doubt a second into moving to this app once and for all. It will literally be like the most perfect app ever.
My favorite: dark mode works perfect

I used Goodnotes for awhile but it has a weird glitch in dark mode. I found Notewise and never looked back. My favorite app by far. Absolutely perfect for my dark mode planner- I love the lock object feature- I haven’t seen that anywhere else. And the pen options and writing experience are excellent. With Notewise, my iPad and Apple Pencil- it’s a digital planner’s dream! Get it- it’s great!
Meh
Duly.Noted
Just okay, for the most part. I didn’t find anything truly amazing about this but also nothing horrible. It is somewhat decent, but not a particularly good app that I care to continue using.It is about average on performance and appearance, free from any glitches or gimmicks, and runs smoothly overall. On the other hand, I found that it a below average selection of tools and other note taking features. Could definitely stand for a few extra things on the tool bar that actually deliver decent results, just to make it stand out amongst all of the other (actually free) note taking apps. Overall, it is not bad for an app, but there isn’t much that really makes it unique, special, or great. Now, considering you have to fork over a few bucks to continue using the app beyond the free trial… I honestly wouldn’t say it’s good enough to do that. It’s definitely not worth paying for, considering that are way better apps out there that charge nothing.
Think Twice Before Subscribing
MeaningfulComment
The application’s functionalities and user-friendliness are commendable, with the exception of its handwriting experience. However, the basic subscription plan is quite limited, and I quickly realized the necessity of expanding the cloud storage capacity. The subscription therefore was unviable for my needs. Within 48 hours, I decided to switch to a different writing application and promptly submitted a subscription cancellation request. Regrettably, the request was denied. I removed the application from my devices and have not utilized it since, but I ended up paying for the subscription. I strongly advise prospective subscribers to carefully consider the application’s features and limitations before making a subscription decision.
Developer Response
Hello, thank you for sharing your feedback. We understand your frustration and appreciate you taking the time to explain your experience.Regarding the subscription issue, we’d like to clarify a few important points:1.Subscriptions purchased through the Apple App Store can only be canceled by the user directly in the App Store. If the subscription is not canceled there, Apple will continue to charge it according to their billing rules. Uninstalling the app does not cancel an active subscription, and the two actions are not related.2.As the developer, we do not have the ability or permission to cancel subscriptions that were purchased via the Apple App Store. For subscriptions managed by Apple, including how to cancel and how to request a refund, we provide detailed instructions in our FAQ https://help.notewise.dev/en/support/solutions/articles/150000151173-how-to-manage-my-subscriptions- and Refund Policy https://help.notewise.dev/en/support/solutions/articles/150000201035-refund-policy, which follow Apple’s official process.Thank you for your understanding.
