Best note taking app from a perfectionist
I have tried Goodnotes, Notability, and Noteshelf. Kind of went back and forth on Goodnotes and Noteshelf, never really fell in love with Notability, but I can confidently say Noteshelf is my favorite note taking app. I dont know if anyone uses the line spacing feature on the zoom box like i do or if its supposed to be like that, but the thin dashed blue line is an amazing tool to make sure all your letters are the same size. Really helps when you're as finicky with handwriting as i am. The ability to adjust your grid lines is also a feature i wish Goodnotes had. The only issue i do have is i feel like the design for adding a picture from gallery could be adjusted slightly like how adding a picture from unsplash works. Why is there a large amount of gray space between the middle two columns? Just a thought. Almost perfect! The ability to edit pictures and remove the background by erasing it can be a very simple scrapbooking feature that i believe if developed more can make this app stand out more. Keep up the good work!Show lessManookie13
Undecided
I like the layout, etc of the old one better. I finally upgraded so I can sync notes across devices and use a pen, but I’m not in love with this (especially for the price). First, all of the special paper from the first app doesn’t come over. There is something in their support that says I can email them and they’ll make it available (but sent email and no response). I’m sure I’m missing some functionality of the new version but there isn’t any real documentation to learn what all it can do. I’d say I liked the old better, it was more intuitive and looked better.Show lessTiggerpounce2
So Disappointed and where’s support?
I am so disappointed with this app and the lack of support. I plan digitally and was hoping that Noteshelf would replace another popular app I have been using that has become increasingly buggy. On the good side the handwriting experience is absolutely great.
On some other areas there are limitations but I was happy to work around. However the limitations on image manipulation is what I would expect from a free app. I can enlarge but not stretch out sideways! This makes it unusable for me. And makes the other issues annoying. I also sent support a couple of messages - no response so disappointed. I wish I hadn’t spent £9 on this app.Show lessNikitaNT

Looking forward to helping you resolve the issue ASAP.Best Note Taking Application by Far
The most important aspect of a note taking application to me is the writing experience. Does the Pencil and screen leave a mark that is realistic. This is the best Apple Pencil note taking experience I’ve found on the IPad - hands down. All of the other features are a bonus. The writing experience sets this leagues above the other applications my opinion.
There’s also no subscription !

Love it, but
I use this for my engineering classes. The page templates are great, the notebooks are easy to organise, and the overall result of a well kept notebook with this app is very pleasing to even just look at. However, the app does seem to freeze up every once in a while, and the zoom in -zoom out process along with page scrolling has a noticeable buffer period (doesnt start focusing until the scrolling stopped and i let go of the screen) which can be annoying, and sometimes the zooming in doesn’t re focus the page instead you’re zoomed in on blurry notes that are rendered in zoom out mode. Please fix this before working on other features (my app is up to date, I have 200 gb of free storage on my (new) M1 chip ipad air that i use this on, 100gb of free storage on icloud, and my ipad is on the latest version of its OS). Otherwise its a great app, I do recommend itShow lessGoofyLeech
Love, but app freezes/delays when zoomed in
I’ve used this app for about two years now and love it! My only issue is I like to write with the pages zoomed in, and I find that when I write with it zoomed in, the pages tend to blur and start freezing. My writing becomes delayed (when it normally appears in real time) and the app itself starts to freeze up. I’m not sure why it does this and I have to close out of the app and reopen it, but that always fixes the issue. Just frustrating when I’m recording audio in a lecture and then I miss some content, but other than that it’s just a little bug. Great app and would definitely recommend!!Show lessblakeymcdreamy
Better than Better than I imagined
My last review raved about how good NS2 is. But since then it just keeps on improving. UI has been updated to an even more gorgeous look and the new pastel covers have a super clean appearance. After a pleasant interchange with their support team earlier today, I just wanted to reiterate what I said earlier. Within a day they answered my inquiry in concise, easy to follow instructions that were very helpful. I would also like to mention a nice functionality that I recently discovered. Sometimes when editing handwriting or graphics, the size of the eraser tip prevented cleaning up lines wedged into small spaces. I found a easy fix is to simply select and drag the unwanted strokes out of the tight space with the Lasso tool (which can be extremely precise with an Apple Pencil) to an area on the page where it can then be erased with ease. This app is the best!Show lessdisgruntled me!
Amazing app
The app is 100% just add one more thing please which is a rulerdavenation r
What’s not to love?
I’ve struggled with various note-taking apps over the years and wish I had found this one sooner. Someone somewhere said that this app is like Notability and GoodNotes combined. I agree, except it has a few more nice touches added in. The UI is fantastic. Smooth handwriting. Everything just works. So intuitive. If you are looking for a text only app then there are several better options. But if you are after a hybrid app that handles text, handrwriting, drawing, shapes, audio, etc … this is it. Stop looking and buy. Fantastic value for money. Kudos to the developers.Show lessfrasermartin
draw into shapes
really good note-taking app. but so far we can only draw solid straight line, hope we will be able to draw dash line as well, or implement a ‘ruler’ tool.JameousZ
