PLEASE FIX THE ZOOM-OUT!!!

someone that needs chips.
I use this app EVERYDAY for work. This is a GREAT app... BUT when your typing in a text box, the more you type the more it zooms out. This makes it very hard to edit when you can't read the text, and I have very good vision.Landscape would also be an awesome addition. I bought a stylus to use with this app but it's too hard to write in portrait so I just click on the keyboard. Also, there needs to be a blind to pull up from the bottom so you don't select the buttons when your hands resting on the phone.Everything else seems to work great, with a couple little buggy exceptions like when I open the app from the lock screen the screen goes back to black then I click the home button again and the screen comes back and the app closes and I have to re open it again. Not a huge problem though, it only happens occasionally and probably has to do with iPhone OS. And sometimes when opening the app it will goto a new untitled book and when you click back to books it disappears.I have had this app for a few months now and it's awesome to have ALL your notes in one app. No need to carry a pad of paper and a pen anymore! Thanks for working hard to make this app so great, it's came a long way!

Nothing remarkable or different, no special features or anything unique that makes it stand out or shine amongst the dozen of other similar apps. I did find this a little complicated and confusing on how to navigate and figure out what was what, so it wouldn't be ideal for someone who isn't tech savvy.
