What I was looking for

I just downloaded this app last night and so am just offering a first impression and that's very positive. I wanted an app that would let me use the Apple Pencil to write in a multi-page notebook and this is exactly what this does. It has convenient, movable controls for writing & erasing changing pencil weight and color, etc, the ability to use graph or lined background & customize the line weight and color. I can make multiple notebooks. Good selection of pencil weight and color too. For me, it has the experience of a notebook and gel pen with the addition of erase features.

The only thing I'm finding cumbersome is turning pages in a notebook seems to take a pinch and tap instead of the swipe I'm used to from reading apps but that may be something I haven't figured out well yet.

What it isn't and doesn't appear to try to be is an artist app. You can draw just fine in it but there's not a big palette of brushes, etc. I wouldn't expect there to be but just wanted clarify for actual artists.

The price almost held me back but that's up to the individual. What I want to with it was important enough to me to buy it.

Great app

Great app for students constantly taking notes. Would love to see more pen/pencil options tho. Also I don't know if it's just my iPad, but at times when you open a new page it does lag just a bit, nothing too significant. Hopefully they can fix that on the next update for the app. Apple pen works perfectly with this app and I like how you can customize your page. From thickness of lines, to colour, and can even accommodate for people who like writing really small or really big. The price may throw some people off, I personally would recommend this app for students. But look into other note apps and compare and research before making your final decision.

garbage

Asymmetric position of button

Great vector note pad!

Love everything about it and options too boot.

Any chance we could have a Pencil line emulation?

Very very good except...

This app works amazing. It really works very well with the Apple Pencil, like the title says "a notebook made for Apple Pencil. But one time I was using the app and it crashed on me and deleted some of the things I have written down. Thank goodness it wasn't school related. So what trying to get to is that in the next update please provide a save feature that a user could just tap. Also add a feature where users can view PDFs. Thanks.

Very good app for fast, quick notes

Positives: This is a very good replacement app for the default Notes app that comes from Apple. The integration of Apple Pencil is fantastic and there is no render lag between the pencil and screen (very much like how Notes is virtually lag free). The style really mimics a ball-point pen, where the first contacts have a thicker line, just a cool visual touch. Their method for erasing is ULTRA novel and very intuitive, where the user can quickly use three finger tap for undo, or highlight the area with finger and erase really fast! Full screen immersion is also a nice touch!

Negative / Improvements: The developer should add some finger gesture for adding a next page, so the user doesn't have to click the add button to add a new page.

Really needs closeup writing ABILITY

This app shows promise, but it needs improvement. The available paper is great and the fact that I can use my Apple Pencil for my iPad Pro with this app is perfect. However, the downside is that there is no close-up box for better handwriting like so many other great handwriting apps available on the app. In my opinion, an app without the close-up handwriting box is not worth a 5-Star rating since the capability is so crucial to really using an app as a go-to tool for good usable notes and not just scribbles. Currently this app is just for scribbles, but I have high hopes for updates in the future.
