Used for years, love but want more features

I used this app for more than half of my undergraduate studies (basically since I purchased my iPad) and have really enjoyed it quite a lot. It does what it needs to do. I’m about to use it for diagnostic exam prep for grad school. That being said, this review is more for the creators/editors, as a suggestion box from a long-time user. Below are my top beefs (aka, things I would love to see improved/added): You have categories, but I would love folders, so I can divide multiple boards into a place where I don’t have to constantly see/scroll through them when I’ve moved on from that material, but still want to hold on to it. Please make it possible for me to put more than one image on a flashcard. Another function I would love is having multiple fonts on one page, not just italics or bold to differentiate things. If some of these things exist and I just don’t know how, please instruct me! But I do love this app and would love to see it continue to improve.

Great note taking and storyboarding app

Using it for planning my stories, plot brainstorming and storyboarding. Overall, this simple app has so much versatile note taking potential, and it also has this analog feel to it, which is super precious for me, because I mostly use traditional cards for brainstorming. This app helps me when I’m traveling and cannot take all of my physical notes with me.

literally couldn't survive without this

as a stem & economics student being able to type, draw and highlight is a necessity and this app is amazing. using the corresponding flashcard app it's so easy to use and revise. a definite worthwhile good value investment for any student.

Frequent freezes

I love this app, or would if it didn't frequently freeze while navigating between boards or other windows on my iPad Pro to copy/paste text. Unfortunately, it lags so bad I have to force quit the app to go back in. Maybe I'm impatient or its user error, but nothing in the documentation explains why the lag occurs. Frustrating because I do like the ability to lay out what you want, color code, format with Markdown. But the freezes make it unusable.

Couldn’t function without this app in grad school

I learn best by writing, but writing entire outlines is too long and typed FlashCards don’t do it for me. This app has completely changed my studying and I’m thriving in med school primarily with this app.

HOWEVER there are really annoying things that would be easy fixes and make a difference. Biggest one is the sensitivity to wrist contact - I’m constantly erasing little dots and lines that aren’t a prob on other writing apps with the Apple Pencil. The Apple Pencil haptics should work in the app too - I usually squeeze to erase, but that just doesn’t work in this app. You should also be able to make folders so you can separate notes by classes. Please consider these updates! Thanks!
