### 1/5 — I lost it all

*2021-06-08, version 1.98*

Had this for years and due to the new update with apple ive lost all dates etc.  please update on your end.

### 5/5 — Love this and always have

*2018-03-05, version 1.98*

I have been using this for years and love it.  It's already perfect but a few features could make it even more so:  the ability to select and move part of a drawing, the ability to export as PDF.  Even without these, it is a winner.

2018.  The new version has an ad, discretely placed.  It appears when you touch the document storage button.  It is not offensive, but I would surely pay for an ad-free version of the app.

### 5/5 — Does what it needs to

*2018-03-04, version 1.98*

It’s simple and intuitive, and it’s really easy to create a huge eyesore. All of these things are pluses in my book.

### 1/5 — I loved it, until...

*2016-10-20, version 1.96*

I absolutely loved this app while drawing out an enormous mind map. I even ignored all of the little flaws, while using the Apple Pencil, such as still having palm marks everywhere (a problem you'd expect on an iPad app from 2012. The problem came when I went to export it. Insanely awful. It will only export what it can see on the screen (did I mention my mind map was huge) and it exports it in a very low quality, illegible, un-zoomable, image. Very upset. I wasted hours brainstorming our new Corporate direction--and now have to draft the whole thing over again. Argh! What a waste of valuable time and focused brain energy.

### 4/5 — Fantastic

*2015-07-28, version 1.96*

Love this app. It has place all previous note- taking apps because it is very simple and straightforward. I have it always in my front app page because it is so useful to take notes.

What it needs.  To be able to receive a "paste" from a text  "copy". This could be really useful when you are reading something and want to save part of that information for later reference.

 Then it could be a "5"

### 5/5 — Unique

*2014-05-04, version 1.95*

No any other app like this

### 5/5 — EXCELLENT App!!!!

*2013-10-25, version 1.93*

I LOVE this app, and I use it constantly.  Could not do without it.   I also have the calendar.  It is FANTASTIC too and a brilliant app, I think!!!  Very HIGH-QUALITY!!!

### 5/5 — Fantastic Teaching Tool!

*2013-03-07, version 1.91*

We use this app in teaching math and find it to serve our purposes wonderfully. Being able to take pictures instantly to display and draw on is fantastic! Importing photos is easy and it's great to download the work into .png to save into a .pdf for note saving and posting for students. We teach a few of the same classes, too, so being able to save page changes as new pictures is great to keep the notes defined per class. What I would really like as an addition is to be able to draw straight lines, geometric figures, circles and to be able to type on occasion (sometimes our handwriting isn't the best…lol). Please add these functions and I would give you 6 stars!!  :-)  Thank you for such a fantastic product!!

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2012-11-07, version 1.91*

Super cool!

### 5/5 — Very cool

*2012-09-27, version 1.91*

(soon to be updated)I love it! It's JUST what I've been looking for! And it's even better on the iPad! Hopefully it works for my class presentation on the water cycle... :D will let u know. IMPORTANT! Read ANY and ALL reviews for an app you are thinking of purchasing, trust me, it helps. Thanx!
