noteit - amigos widget +4

My fiancée and I were really feeling the long distance and we wanted to find something that would help soften some of the distance. NoteIt was the perfect answer. We send cute notes every day or so and it’s like a little surprise on your phone when it pops up. We made romantic notes, missing you notes, funny notes, etc. They have updated the app really well recently and I’ve been loving it more.

The drawing tools are limited, but also allow for a lot of creative freedom. There’s a ruler for straight lines, a highlighter, a crayon, and a marker tool, which already provides so much to do. I initially didn’t like that there wasn’t a fill tool to like fill an enclosed shape or the whole screen, but I’ve come to enjoy painting every inch of the canvas. It feels like I’m putting in a little effort into the note, even when I put something together quickly.

The app means so much to me and her. I’ve been downloading and keeping all the notes. I think we’ll probably keep using it after we get married too. Keep up the great work!

I have been using this app for about a month now and have loved it, even with all its initial limitations. This new update has changed my user experience for the worse. I am unable to go back and draw over my pictures after a couples strokes of the draw tool because the tool dash completely disappears! I can no longer zoom in when I’m drawing over a photo which makes it even more unpleasant to use. I also had a complaint about the app pre-update. Keeping the streak by tapping the app everyday is fine with me, but if I have already sent a new drawing that day, why should I get another notification warning me that my streak is about to end? If the notification was a standard reminder which acknowledged my new drawing, I would have no problem, however this is not the case. I have lost really sweet drawings because I didn’t open the app within an hour of it telling me to do so. Am I supposed to be a slave to the app or am I supposed to be enjoying the experience?? Don’t worry I am not going to just forget about the app just because it doesn’t threaten me at any random point in time during the day; if the user experience was better, I would be excited to open it up and draw. Unfortunately for long distance couples who already have a lot to deal with, this just makes it harder. I hope you can respond with something or make some changes sooner rather than later.

me and my partner have been using noteit for months now, it’s fun to send cute little drawings to each other whenever we feel like it. but lately the updates have kinda sucked :/ for example, they started a “streak” system where you have to send back a drawing between 24 hours or your streak breaks and you can no longer see the drawings you sent to your partner. i see what they were trying to do here but at least in my case i spend time trying to draw out things and id like them to say up for more then 24 hours without losing all the drawings i made previously, this isn’t like snapchat where i can snap a quick picture and that’s it. and this most recent update is the WORST, for one the shade of blue is kinda irritating to stare at and also you can only access the tools once, if you accidentally press anywhere but the drawing pad it’ll just switch the tool button to “done” and your only option is to either keep drawing with this one tool (but sometimes they don’t even let you do that) or either send the drawing or scrap it all together.
this app is such a cute idea and me and my partner have loved it for so long, but i feel like this app is trying to soup itself up too much to the point where it’s becoming unuseable and annoying, i really hope this gets fixed in the future :/
