  • Artist endorsed

    I never leave reviews, but I adore this app. I beta tested it for 2 months, and it made such a difference to my workflow and mental well-being, I happily purchased it here. Well done, devs!
  • Great, but without a few basics.

    Please add a search function for the PDF reader within the app!
  • Writing is not vector - blurs at zoom

    I just purchased and am turned off by the fact the writing is not crisp when you zoom. Part of the turn on for spatial note taking to me is the seamlessness of not having to think about quality changing like this. Moving from Freeform to Defter Notes is a significant downgrade in terms of the visual crispness the writing. Maybe others won’t be turned off as much by this as me.

  • Great but needs fine tuning

    I love it, but there needs to be basic things that need tweaking, like in PDFs, there is no back button (if you’ve pressed a link accidentally and you have no idea what page you were reading / working on, or the highlighter, which is gorgeous like the Apple Original tool, but cannot control opacity (at least none that I can obviously find in their controls), and the selection of items like stickers are rather finicky. Anyway, I purchased this app because it IS promising. I was hoping it would be a better version of liquid Text, better aesthetically. Anyways, I’ll keep an eye out for improvements.

  • Would love undo/redo and eraser size adjuster

    Like the concept and intent. Undo/redo would be useful for quick mistakes and eraser size for consistency, including a stroke remover would be good too.

    Developer Response

    Hi, you can undo with tapping with two fingers, and redo with three fingers. An eraser with more precise controls are on our roadmap, meanwhile you can tilt your Apple Pencil to adjust the size. Hope this helps and thank you for your review!
  • Best Note Taking App Period

    I have no idea why this isn’t the most popular app out there. It’s note taking with out limits the pdf handling is the best I have ever seen. This should be the number 1 note taking app. I have some very minor niggles like I would like more pages sizes and the option for custom size along with the built in ability to crop pdfs and maybe ocr for image pdfs. But they are minor complaints

  • Best $20 I’ve spent on any app!

    Get this app if you’re in school and you want to take and keep good notes.
  • Fantastic concept

    This has a lot of potential.
    Somehow my handwriting using this app is worse than onenote or other apps. i think it needs some pressure sensitive pen . when i use goodnotes or Write I feel like I am using a real pen writing. However my handwriting on Defter is bad enough i can't use this as a journal . I hope Caner can improve this.

  • Perfect for visual people, especially on 12.9” ipad

    This app achieves what OneNote wishes it could. Imagine the digital equivalent of a table at a university library. Your notes, pdfs, sticky notes, are all sprawled out in front of you. You can link areas together, tuck things in notebooks, spread pages out or stack them. It has a bit of a learning curve, and I would normally knock a star off for the lack of decent tutorial, but with so few reviews, this app deserves more visibility.

    To the developers: Try giving out a free version, and add an interactive tutorial. In the current app landscape, it’s difficult to stomach the up-front cost and jump into a new note-taking app.

  • Great

    Best note-taking app for iPad. But need:

    • Undo/redo
    • Ruler?
    • Variable eraser size?
    • iOS companion app

    Developer Response

    Thank you for your kind words! We’d love to let you know that you can use two finger tap to undo and three finger tap to redo. Another tip for eraser size: you can try tilting your Apple Pencil. The eraser size is dynamic for now, although we will be adding a manual option as-well. I’m also happy to let you know we’re working on an iPhone app for the upcoming year.
