Leave a Review Noteshelf 2
great app with excellent support
I have been using Noteshelf for all of my writing, generating hundreds of pages per week. Ithas servedme well, and I have come to rely on it.
A couple of weeks ago a problem with lag in writing cropped up. The support people swung into action immediately, and fixed the problem in about two weeks. It's now back to its usual convenient self, and is a pleasure to use. Thanks to support for being so responsive!Show lessRobert_Harper
It keeps getting better!!!
I wrote the second part of this review a bit ago. I love it even more! They keep getting better! Now I can strike through without losing what’s underneath.
Let me tell you about the support team. I have emailed them a couple of times and they get back within 24 hours. Pallavi has been most helpful and kind. If you’re looking for a fantastic note taking app with exceptional support you can do no better
I bought this app a little better than a year ago and loved it then. Now, after a few updates, it is even better!! While taking notes I can add a hyperlink to a webpage with more information. I can create my own pages and insert them into notebooks and make them mine. But to be honest this isn’t even the best part. The support is amazing. I didn't know how to hyperlink so asked the question on the fluid touch site and was quickly answered. I asked if I could add video like I add pictures. No, but we will work on that. I have asked a couple questions after my first one to the same email and she always responds. Her name is Pallavi and she is just wonderful. I usually get an answer in a day or two. This app is amazing and keeps getting better.Show lessAnnekmroberts

Thanks so much, Anne. This means a lot!! And it motivates us to do even better. We truly appreciate your encouragement.Great, but some issues.
I’ve noticed lately that after having the app open for not very long, an input delay appears to take effect with my strokes. I’m pretty sure it’s not my iPad’s issue because I immediately test other apps when I notice this and they function fine. Really frustrating considering the app has worked fine for me these past 3 years or so.
Also a mode where we can view two notebooks at once would be an actual godsend. The amount of time I’ve spent swapping between books so I can refer to my notes to help with a problem I’m working on in a separate notebook is pretty ridiculous and definitely a disadvantage against working on paper.
Everything else is fine though!Show lessWaveguider34

Noted your feedback & passed it internally for future consideration. Please take note that we've released a new version on the App Store i.e. v8.4.8 which has a few important bug fixes. Please update your app to it & check it out. You can reach us directly by sending us an in-app email (via Gear icon-Support-Contact Us-Send Email option) if you have any questions.It WAS good (read till the end)
After last update, the app expects more interaction with the pdf file itself where I’m writing on (highlighting and selecting a document portion) instead of allowing me to write on it. Since I have the habit of writing everything by hand, this is sooooooo annoying because whenever I try to write, the app starts to select the portion of the pdf template. I have two different suggestions to correct this issue. First, you could allow me to toggle this feature on or off. Second, you could set a time a little longer for the app try to highlight or select something in my pdf template. I have been using this app more than 5 years. I contacted the support and they said me they will try to address my request only after more people mentioned the same problem. I can’t wait so long. I’ve downloaded other apps and started some tests to change all my notes to another place.
Oct 13th update: The developer answered my review, and YES, the issue that I mentioned is gone! This app is perfect. Thank God I didn’t have time to move to another app yet. Noteshelf is the best! Changing my review to 5 stars.Show lessIvael

Hi. We've already improved this behavior. It should not occur now, from v8.4.7 onwards. Can you pls try after updating your app to latest? Pls let us know if you're still facing the issue even in the latest version.Problem with newest update
Overall, this program is amazing. The utility is unmatched since Noteshelf provides so many functions. This paper saving app is allowing me to excel during my time at university. However, the newest update is causing an issue with my Apple Pencil. The PDF highlighting and analysis functions are causing the letters I draw to be deleted when I finish writing. If you attempt to rewrite the word, there’s a strong chance the letter with be deleted again making this a very frustrating bug. Hopefully the developers can fix this soon :)Show less🛶🛶
Noticeable lag when writing
This app is absolutely perfect with all the features is has. It has an amazing text typing system as well. The reason it has 1 stars however is latency in writing is slower than GoodNotes or Apple Notes. There is a noticeable lag when writing. Write side of side with GoodNotes and Noteshelf and you will notice it. That’s the only disappointing setback otherwise this application would be perfectShow lesstoastyasteroid

Sorry to note this. Kindly send us an in-app email via Gear icon-Support-Contact Us-Send Email option so we can investigate further.Great app! Needs another feature...
Love this app. Use it for my university work and it works amazing with the apple pen. One flaw I’d like them to address is to be able to make another folder within your subset folders. It is hard to organise clutter in just one set of folders. Otherwise, great app, highly recommend.
Also the ability to make your own hyperlinks please!!!Show lesscamallamadude
Love it
I’m so happy with this app I can do so many thing, diary’s, journal, notes for meetings, notes for home, and lots more. I’m always buying diaries and note books and now I don’t have to and I can keep them all together in just one appsnow white with 7 kids
My go to note-talking app
Happy to see that no data is collected in Noteshelf, one of the most important reason I’m loving this app.
Continual updates has made this app good to use. No complaint in functionality, aesthetics or bugs since I started using Noteshelf as my main note-taking app.
I’ve used GN, Nota, the brown-iconed app and the famous-for-handwriting-recognition app and many others over the years. While I do like that some of them having Mac version included in the purchase, I don’t need it anymore. In the past, I’ve encountered different issues with them. The last straw was the privacy policy.Show lesslin.vvu
Great note app for business notes
Has all the features I needed to eliminate my beloved paper notebooks completely. Has a couple of levels of organization - categories and then notebooks within categories - which is perfect. Very good tools for sharing pages, moving pages and snippets to different notebooks, etc. The writing tools are excellent - everything you need for business notes.
A few minor complaints - e.g., page navigation requires a swipe unless you open the page listing. Would prefer an onscreen button for page navigation, but that’s a very minor thing, and a personal preference.
All in all, I highly recommend Noteshelf. And you can’t go wrong for the price.Show lessUncle Jacket
