Add This As A Free Feature!!

I like the app it’s pretty good on its own, but the free limitations are not good. You can’t do specific things and it’s just bad that you added a 10 page limitation. I wanted to make a diary with this app but I can’t. At least give us infinite pages like the premium that’s all I’m asking for.

used to be a great app - disappointing downfall

i’ve been using this app for 4 years. it used to be a great app but now it has severe limitations and repeated ads that pop up in the middle of taking notes. you can only have a max of 10 pages now. it used to be completely unlimited. having a limit for digital paper is insane. it’s also been lagging increasingly over time as well. genuinely so sad cause this used to be my favorite note taking app. i’m glad i graduated before this app went completely downhill - would not recommend for future use

Cool

It 8s good for study, but very limited free access

Laggy

The app is so laggy especially when trying to move between pages and trying to zoom in and out

Fav app

This note app is my fav app, they add new stickers (if your premium), access to different notebook/paper templates, ruler, calculator, voice recording. They should definitely include being able to merge notes into one notebook, add some hyperlinks or something where I can just click a word and it jumps to the affiliated page or information, the ability to import/ add more notebook/page templates. But I do love this app, Ive tried, goodnotes, noteability, and noteful and they just don’t hit the same.
