Leave a Review Notes Plus X
Lost hours of work several times - gone just like that
Second day in a row this has happened. I’ve gone into a trance with my thoughts, noted down great ideas and insights, and suddenly, I don’t know how or why, it’s all gone. Right now I hate this appAlaska1970
Fails to save half the time
I’ve been using this app since it was introduced. About a month ago it started failing to save. No change in configuration. Now I have to double check every time. About half the time it doesn’t. Really frustrating since I’m trying to keep a nutrition diary for a sick person.Harrilor
Notes Plus X still buggy
I’ve been a Notes Plus and Notes Plus X user for a long time. I’ve introduced and got colleagues using it as well.
However, although I read comments that they can’t reproduce problems other users have seen, I’ve lost too much critical work. Doesn’t matter if on the cloud or on my iPad, I can change page to check something, come back and my last hour worth of work is gone. I close the app, come back 10 minutes later, my last page is gone.
I want to use it, but I feel the testing group hasn’t taken our concerns seriously enough to duplicate and fix.Show lessBarthVader
Glitchy and unpredictable, prepared to lose your work a lot.
The app is often glitchy, while drawing and annotating. I like how it handles pen strokes, and the UI isn’t so bad, but I don’t know how many times I have had lost or mangled content and pages in notebooks that I have saved previously. I’ve gotten into the habit of saving my notebook several times, so that I have “backup“ copies. After all this time in development, both it and its predecessor are still riddled with bugs. I just don’t see any sort of improvement curve here, so I have to reluctantly advise everyone to look elsewhere. Even for drawings that were previously saved, I suggest you get them exported to PDF and away from this horrendous data-killing program.Show lessRogerJr
Import from Notes Plus
Hiya, I cannot import from Notes Plus, are there detailed instructions or video available?Adolf S
Very Nice, But It’s Missing One Thing….
I have been enjoying this app for years. I had the original Notes Plus and Notes Plus X is even more perfect for annotating documents for school and studying or writing down whatever I need.
However, I wish that there were in document links like the other writing apps for iPads. When using a digital planner or hyperlinked digital textbook, I cannot go to the exact pages I select on which makes it hard to use in this app like I would like to. I’ve had to purchase other apps, but Notes Plus is the only one that perfectly accepts how I hold my pencil and write. That’s a bit of a bummer.Show lesski_moni
Unusable
After using Notes Plus for many years, I thought this would be a nice upgrade. It is not.
Every time I open a new folder it locks and will never return. All I see is a dimmed screen. I'm sure I can't get my money back, but I can warn you from my same mistake.
There are other, less sinister warnings, like unresponsiveness and actions/menu options that just take me back to the main notebook menu. Those are trivial compared to working on a document for a while only to have it disappear from this universe.
I own a brand new iPad Air 2 and am using an Apple Pencil. I also have a Logitech combo keyboard, but I don't use it for Notes Plus or X.Show lessCynicPsyProg
File corruption upon import
I’ve been using the old Notes Plus app extensively and thought it would be a good idea to move on to the newer one. How wrong I was! Upon transition the old files get wiped and converted into new ones that superficially look the same. However, when I had to re-edit some, I spotted random missing hand-written text, characters or symbols on nearly every page. Decorated in addition with some random lines going criss-cross over the pages that one cannot select or delete.
Sadly there was no way back, so I tried fixing the files. But only to eventually realise that Notes Plus X does not save them. Spinning wheel forever after some changes have been done, both for files in the cloud and for those stored locally. Force-quitting Notes Plus X after some minutes and then restarting did not help. All the errors are back, no corrections saved.
It would be a good idea for the developer to provide a utility to resurrect the old files from the new npx files. And if it’s not too late, do not convert any of your old files!Show lessAQn
Super buggy, hand writing kept disappearing
i have been try to tolerate and hoping to get this bug fixed for a few months now.
when i write, the app sometimes stop seamlessly acknowledging the pencil and i only get chunks of it written
the other times the zoom option resizes the page while writing
another issue is deletion gesture sometimes does work and the writing stays in its place for a while…
are there any patches coming soon? if not please give me my money backShow lessmeesam.ali
Almost better than Notability
Lacks some key functions that could make this app better than Notability. Unable to search original text for key words or phrases like in notability. One good feature of this app is there are more options for pens than any other note taking app.
Please update this app and add a search option for original text rather than only written text.Show lessMs. Anke
