Leave a Review Notes Plus
New update is buggy
I used to use this app a lot but now I am almost afraid to. The last update has made it very unstable. I like the new feature that lets you erase by just scratching out but it has now made the traditional eraser often crash the app. What makes that worse is the the app will just switch to eraser mode by itself. Changing the pen color will often switch to eraser mode and sometimes the app just randomly does it. Then when you think you are about to write, you actually start erasing and the app suddenly crashed. Then you lose everything you have done since the app last saved the document when you closed it. It is very frustrating to use now. I am searching for a replacement app. Never mind. I have already found a replacement and have deleted this app. It wasn’t the most featured filled app but it met my needs until it started crashing.Show lessFuninsaudi
Best hand writing app I have ever found!
I have used many different hand writing apps over the years with my iPads and I always come back to Notes Plus….. it does it all, and it does it well, ….. what else do we want?
It has more features than I will ever use and of course they continually improve upon it year in and year out. All in all the best hand writing app I have ever found yet. I literally use it every day, all day, to keep notes on what I need to do and discussed w my clients. I am in a very detail oriented business and fine myself always going back to review notes of past conversations to ensure we are following thru on what my clients expect from us. I stopped looking at other apps a couple of years ago realizing it doesn’t get any better than Notes Plus.

The best iOS app for hand-written notes
I am pretty sure I’ve tried every iOS app out there for my iPad Pro to see how it handles handwriting. The handwriting engine in this app is outstanding and I don’t understand why any other app can’t do with NotesPlus is doing with handwriting. It’s difficult to write cleanly on an iPad no matter who you are, but Notes Plus takes what you write and cleans it up ever so slightly so that what you see is an improvement over what you actually wrote on the screen. Thera few glitches here and there but as of the writing of this review the current version seems very stable. I am inclined to purchase the NotesPlus X just to support the developer, but it’s going to be hard to tear me away from this app because of how well it handles the handwriting.Show lessco-conspirator
I used INKcredible app for years
I used INKcredible app for years …. Best nite takin app I found. Then 8 needed to get better organized, also I realized it’s been helpful so the developer should be compensated for such a great app. Supporting ingenuous developers who solve life issues is how they can continue to do what they do. So I bought the paid version - to my surprise the paid version ended up again helpin me a ton. We’ll worth the upgrades for the one time up front fee. Auto save and sync to cloud, etc. Made everything so much easier, and I’m much more productive because all my notes are in one place and they can quickly be scanned to text or exported for my use or sharing. Great job team!Show lessCalifOSO
Great App that has stood the test of time
I went back and looked, and my first note on Notes Plus was in 2010. I have been using it ever since it’s my exclusive writing app. There have obviously been many versions since then, but I truly do believe that the development team is committed to making it better and better.
I prefer to hand-write my notes versus typing, and have never used the Apple keypad. Notes plus is the perfect app if you’d like to do that. I have well over 100 notebooks and folders that I keep files in. Everything is extremely organized - thanks to the app - and I am typically the one person in the room that can find out what was said last year at a particular date and time. I will never go back to paper.
A fantastic app.Show lessMr. Drug
Sorry, but I’m changing my rating
This used to be my favorite handwriting app. In fact, I still believe it has one of the best fountain pen algorithms available on any platform. But over time, it has become unusable. Many times when I am writing, the “ink” will simply stop following my Apple Pencil. At first, I thought it was my pencil’s fault. But my pencil works fine on other handwriting apps. Also, when scrolling with my finger down the page, it now leaves marks or smudges from time to time. Also, there are many times when I try to erase something, it won’t erase! I hit the undo button sever times and text BEFORE the text I want to delete disappears, but not the most recent text. But sometimes, I can then scroll the screen, and the text will then vanish, which tells me there is a screen buffering problem. My iPad hasn’t changed over the last three years. The only thing that has changed is the updates I have done to this app. I cannot even write simple notes without having to go back afterward and spend tons of time fixing all the problems caused by all of the bugs. I’m sorry and saddened to say that this app no longer works. 😢Show lessMuskego Dave
Kinda disappointed
I feel like this app is decent but I’ve noticed some issues, I use an Apple Pencil on other apps such as procreate I’m able to rest my hand and write/draw. It seems I can’t do that with this app, that’s huge problem with me because I have motor issues. Every time I rest my hand on the screen with this app I’ll write but as soon as I move my hand it erases. I don’t think it’s a problem with my tablet or Apple Pencil as I just purchased them and I use other apps that allow me to rest my hand. So I feel like if this was fixed the app would be a lot better. Kinda sad I paid $10 for it I can’t use it how I need to :/
Another just small thing I feel like there needs to be more cover options for the notebooks, and maybe more paper options. I think more customization settings would be great for the app. Other than those things it seems like a neat app. It’s good if you like typing that seems to work for me but I enjoy writing more.Show lessshyanncyann
Been using 4-5 years > Great for business
I normally do not write many reviews unless something is extraordinary.. either good or bad. In this case it is very good. I have been using Notes Plus for over 4 years. I have found it to extremely useful for my business work.
Details -
I can keep all of my notes from meetings with me at all times. I have been in meetings where I have had to recall information amount a supplier from e years before. I can search in Notes Plus, go to the meeting (where I have inserted a phot of the business cards of everyone present) review my notes and look at the photos of the products that I had taken that day and embedded into my notes. If I had kept an audio recording of the meeting that is available also.
Issues-
To date I have never had a loss of information (I do back it up to my PC) and am 95% satisfied.
The only issues I have had is if I have added a lot of photos or other images into a document and not shut the app down for a long time, it will slow the writing speed. I shut it down and restart and the issue is generally resolved.
Preferences
I wish they had the option to copy pages in a workbook or even set up a full workbook in the app. I would like to make my own, personalized year long, dated planner and have it in the APP to help with my ability to organize things more efficiently. I am having to do that myself and it is very cumbersome.
Great APP and I hope you continue to improve and support it!Show lessBob(Swede)
The best note taking app
I love notes plus. i just realized that they did an upgrade on the one thing that’s missing which is the text recognition search. I used to not be able to search my text notes before but now, i noticed that i can. I am so happy!
I use Notes plus everyday studying for two years now. I love using it because when I write on it, my handwriting looks better. They somehow correct it to make it look at least presentable. I tried so hard to use good notes, and notability. Both of which I bought but I never use it because my writing bothers me. It looks so ugly in both. This app is also pretty and I can easily create folders and subfolders. I like how well I can organize my school syllabus. I can also export and print.
The only thing I am not sure of is if there’s a cloud feature where I can access it in my desktop. It would be nice but i dont need it yet at the moment. Also, I am not sure if I can view two different note books in two different layouts so I can reference different notes at the same time.
Thank you for making this app. It has helped me tremendously. I’d like to be able to use it forever.Show lessShastafiona
Not as easy as they would like you to believe
I have done one project somewhat successfully with this app, but for general note recording it is not working out for me. I am taking some online classes and taking notes while the videos are playing. Some of the points need to be illustrated with specific pictures of the actions to take in Excel and Photoshop Elements, but the pictures are proving very difficult to place, resize, and actually save to the notes. At first I thought it was just PNG pictures, but JPEGs are proving just as problematic.
Another issue is the stylus. The only stylus they now recommend for Note Plus is the Apple Pencil. I have an iPad 7th generation, and the Apple Pencil does not work with that version of iPad. I bought a Bamboo Sketch stylus, which works with the my iPad but (according to Notes Plus) does not work well with their app. So I may as well not use this app at all. Very disappointing and a waste of time for me and money for me.Show lessNIRVANA!!!!!
