  • An amazing not taking app and for free

    I really like how the app is free, and I can create as many pages as I want on a journal. I also really enjoy the page duplicator and how I can draw straight lines and various shapes. There’s a wide variety of colors and shades to use when drawing or taking notes. The app is really accessible and I can change colors quickly when taking notes in a live setting.

    One of my favorite features is the calligraphy pen. I have an Apple Pencil, and if I apply more pressure it writes thicker, and if I apply less pressure it creates a thinner line. It’s an amazing feature for bullet journals and for calligraphy.

    This app is so great and I would totally recommend.

  • Paper feel

    The paper like feel screen protector does feel like paper somewhat. There are some gaps or spacing when I write on this one certain part of my tablet. It must be from when I put on the screen protector. Which was not easy and those stickers were no help at all. I’m happy with this screen protector and I would recommend it.

  • Notebook Replacement

    I’m trying this as a replacement for my trusty notebook and so far it’s working out well. I can write just like I do with pen and paper and that’s one of the biggest requirements I had. I’m happy with the results so far and look forward to having my notes online not in a book!
  • Simple, perfect!

    I was looking for an app that mocks as a ruled notebook for my iPad Pro and Apple Pencil. I'm in college and it's nice to have paper and pen when needed. This was perfect! Easy to use, includes page turning like notebook and is ruled. I can't write on non lined paper so this was a must. It also includes blank and grid paper if you need which will come in handy! Exactly what I was looking for. So glad I found it! Also free and haven't ran into an ad yet!

  • Works great for me!

    It works perfectly for me, my only issue was that you can only use undo button so many time then you have have to actually erase it yourself. Other than that it’s a basic note taking app!
  • Good, but could def use some improvements

    For the most part, I thoroughly enjoy using this app. I primarily use it for note taking. However, I find that way too often, I’m accidentally pressing buttons on the toolbar and either switching tools mid sentence or nearly erasing an entire page by double pressing the eraser tool. Luckily, it asks you to verify clearing a page, otherwise I’d be having to retake a ton of notes in those instances. If the toolbar could be moved or minimized, it would easily solve the problem. It’s not really practical to have a touch sensitive toolbar right where you rest your hand. I hope that this can be resolved so that I am able to get the very most out of this app. Till then, 4 stars it is.

  • Perfect place to take all notes

    I had explored a few note taking apps prior to finding this one and noticed that they were limited in the way of “ paper choices, this one allows me to choose which paper is best for each class e.g., graph for physics, blank or lined for anatomy and physiology. The only thing is I wish I could just scroll down to a new page instead of “turning” it.

  • Finally an app I can use my pencil!

    This app has been great so far. I finally found an app that I can use my very expensive pencil! I like the way you can organize and send your notes. Just used it for the basics right now.
  • Great but a suggestion

    I think this app is very useful. I am using it for school.
    However, I use it on my iPad and I’d just like to be able to split the screen between the app and my education platform. I tried, but couldn’t do it 50-50. It also can’t go into landscape mode, but that’s not imperative in the slightest.
    I just deleted my notes accidentally on one page. I really don’t know how, but I had a picture of them in my camera roll. It would be really helpful if I could import the picture onto the page, but there’s no option to import pictures. I could do lots of things if I could import a picture onto the page.

  • Easy to use

    I have been looking for an app that I can use to write notes while I learn new languages. It gives me the freedom to write it down and not waste paper. I am also a learner who learns better when writing things out so again this app is perfect for me.
