Doesn’t save
I have been using this app for a while with no issues and then over the last 3 months it will randomly not save and erases data. I sadly need to find a new app because I just can’t count on this app any longer.
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 app
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.
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.

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.

Import from Notes Plus
Hiya, I cannot import from Notes Plus, are there detailed instructions or video available?
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.

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.

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!
