Amazing find!

I’ve been using CollaNotes for a while now, I love the new features on the app. I would suggest that we make a new “note” we can choose more than one paper style and add as many templates as we need.

Add a scroll down option

The app is great and I see the success. An option that would be great is to add a scroll down feature. Using two fingers on the screen is a hit and miss because it doesn’t work well. Hope this feature will be added

Love it but..

I love this app I use it everyday for nursing school, but I seriously wish it had a feature where you could create an account. This would make it so much easier to seamlessly switch between devices. I seriously love this app, I just wish I could have access to my notes on all my devices T.T

Translation

its a good app and I paid for the premium version because of the Quick translation mode, but it disappointed me in so many ways.
The first problem is that the translation fades super fast within 6-7 seconds and sometimes it moves out in the middle of me reading it, without me giving the permission. Also, when I choose a paragraph for translation, it doesnt show the full translation and from a point it just says "..." without giving us possibility to read the rest.
The translation, also, is sometimes acting weak and while translating german texts to english, it just rewrite the german word in english without translating it...
I'm not satisfied with these exhausting issues and I kindly ask to fix this problem

my review

I love this app. However, sometimes my notes randomly disappear (this has only happened twice within two years). I was taking notes in class the morning before, and I go to check my notes and it is suddenly gone. I look witching my iPads files and I’m unable to find it. While yes it’s great for memory, it’s tedious to rewrite it all! Despite that I would still recommend it. They have planners and flash cards for different topics, there is ONE TIME optional fee to pay to get different covers for your notes and ability to have as many as you’d like.

Another thing I’d love to see, I have the colors changed but that also changes the color of the text on my founders and it’s a bit hard to read, I would like to have the ability to change the text so I can read it LOL

I have a few suggestions

Hello, and thank you for creating such a wonderful app!

I have a few suggestions. If you could add these features to the app, I believe CollaNote could become the best note-taking and study app of all time:

1. Tabs: Please add a tab system and make it very easy to use, so that with just one tap, we can switch from one book or file to another.
2. More writing tools: Please add more types of pens, including pens specifically designed for Arabic calligraphy, as well as different pens that are useful for studying and taking notes.
3. Eye-friendly study modes: Please add special display modes for long study and concentration sessions, with warm/yellowish tones and colors that are more comfortable and safer for the eyes.
4. A simpler interface: Please make the user interface less colorful, calmer, and simpler. For example, instead of having the interface mainly in blue, allow users to choose or customize the interface color according to their preferences.
5. A cleaner study page: Please make the page where we study and write less distracting and less crowded, while making better use of the available space and reducing unnecessary empty areas.
6. Keep these features free: Finally, I hope all of these features can remain completely free, especially to make the app more accessible and useful for students and teachers.

Thank you very much for your hard work and for creating such a great application. I truly appreciate your efforts!

File got missing from collanote

One of my noted files with extensive information got disappeared from a folder. I informed them about this but they didn’t reply

DELETE

How to delete photos on the board?>:(

Sugerencia

Me encanta que hayan implementado los planners interactivos! Desde hace mucho pensaba en algo así! No hay muchas plantillas pero las que hay son muy útiles y vienen las más utilizadas. Por favor consideren hacer un planner que sea un tracker de sueños, please!

very useful features. A lot of students said about that

Hello! I would really like to be able to make the page horizontal. Also horizontal scrolling, it is not very convenient to reread notes or search for information.

Scribble to erase

Please make scribble to erase option better

Would love a setting

I’ve been using CollaNote for years. Truly love it!

I would love to have a way to set up preferences for sorting—for instance: most recent, alphabetical, date created, etc.

If this could be done both for viewing, finding, and adding files, that would make my files more efficiently accessed.

Keep up the great work!

Great app

Honestly a great app, I just have a few suggestions to make it better!
1. When you use the lasso it would be convenient if there was an option to rotate the selected drawing not just adjust the size
2. When using the pen it would be easier if the tool bar displayed different colours to switch to so it saves time when you are in need of different colours
3. when using the lasso it would be helpful to add the option to put the selected area into the AI
Overall great app! And looking forward to the updates:)

Feature upgrade

I love this app, so I paid for the premium! I have been using it for years, I feel like a new feature would make this app even better. Adding a beautification on the writing would make note taking so much more appealing.

Real potential

I use a MetaPen on my iPad without issue, but as I investigated your planners I had an issue with my resting palm interfering with the pen. It doesn’t happen in any of my other apps. Tested with my palm completely off the glass and it wrote fine (but legibility went down as I can’t write that way). When my palm is down I get broken up lines with my letters vs smooth text. So, I can’t use your planners yet. Hopefully will be fixed before the new year.

Annotation problem

When I export file to pdf
The annotation and high lightening
Get shifted up
That make it non dependable app

BEST NOTE APP! Worth the one time premium buy!

Honestly, I NEVER write reviews for applications. But I have used this app since I started college 6 years ago. I used the free app some in high school too, and bought it as a gift to myself when I graduated. I’ve tried other notes apps and none of them compare. I love the pens/paper options and the laser pointers for when I’m presenting. Watching this app bloom into its current state has been super cool as the features and functionality increase.
(I would love to be able to change the view to be two pages side by side, it’s the one thing I think it’s missing!)

The best thing I ever bought in my whole life

Great app but…

I love the app. I’ve been using it for years, but lately my writings will mysteriously disappear. I’ll write a note, close it out, and when I come back to it, the last few words are missing or part of a word is missing.

Place for improvement

I would love to be able to zoom in more and to have 0.5 0.8 0.3 sized pens since pen strokes at the moment are too big for cute note taking. The paper available also tend to be too big squared or dot paper but honestly, I paid for the premium version and other than this . I think it’s a good app for journaling, less for taking school notes
