The best hand writing experience

I’ ve been looking so long for an app that could give me the actual feeling and ACCURACY of handwriting. I ve tried many and this is the best.

The only thing is that highlighting is not that good(please see Papers app).

Could we have an option for a monthly “calendar/diary” paper in the next update, please?

Refund?

You’re paying a whole lot of money for an app you’ll never use. If you’re looking for something to both type and write on, don’t purchase this. It’s a blank page. Don’t waste your money!

Specifically for making notes = most responsive

This is the most responsive note-taking app. It is somehow the most natural to write on this app, as compared to Notability, good notes, noteshelf, note plus.

I use this app specifically to make my own notes and jot down random ideas or doodle, like I would on paper. To me this is a pretty big deal, and justifies this app.

Keep in mind that this app lacks many features. You can not annotate pdf in it. You can not make audio notes etc. Page-turning can probably be improved.

A simple feature unique to this app, which I love the most, is that I can use my finger as an eraser. It also has good pen and colors.

Does NOT work

First of all, it does not accommodate left-handed users. Second, if you even rest your hand on the iPad while writing with the Apple Pencil, the app simply freaks out and every line drawn is jagged and filled with noise. Total waste of money. The Notes app that comes free with the iPad is better.

Really Good But.....

I really appreciate this app!

But..... can I give re-names to pages please?

I have not discovered how to do this small step towards easier indexing.

I reiterate that this is a great app!

Amazing App😍

The price tag of this app is what really scared me, and made me doubt in buying it. The app is really good writing and the paper templates are what won me. I used notability to write notes(not for High School nor college). But I really love this app. I would recommend it to anyone. Or watch a YouTube video from "Paperless Student" if not convinced.

Doesn't work on iPad Air 2

No way to contact app maker

Surprising gem!

Well I was almost scared off buy the price but I took a chance and I'm glad I did. It was just what I was looking for. This app is simplistic and to the point. It doesn't try to do more than it's meant for in my opinion. What I mean by that is many note apps will have a ton of stuff crammed in not that they are not useful but for certain type of note taking the miss the mark. This is an app for people who like using pen and paper to document things in a more natural way. It's difficult for me to explained it's full usefulness but let's just say I like using a composition notebook for my engineering notes and this app is the closest thing to that experience without all the crazy stuff that gets in the way. Keep improving guys love it!

Really nice with one missing feature

Many apps have poor "writing feel", where it just doesn't feel like you are writing with a real pencil or pen.

That is not the case with Note Always. It's got great "writing feel" and a UI that is not cluttered. You can also move the UI elements around as needed to keep the buttons out of your way (or hide them almost entirely so that it's just you, your Apple Pencil, and the "paper").

The one feature I'd love to see to give this app 5 stars is the ability to import PDF files and see this app listed when I choose "Open In" while exporting a PDF file in another iOS app. As a math teacher this is a core part of my workflow and one thing that I miss. Other than that... great app!

Great Start!

Just purchased and am enjoying this app. Love being able to control the line weight to write with a fine point.

Would love to see text box capability and be to customize papers.

Great start; please keep going!
