Awesome

Definetly gonna buy the pro edition! Id rather pay once than have yet another subscription. Very solid notebook app and definetly has enough tools to get things done. Super helpful! Will there be and option to add our own pages soon?

Great Butโ€ฆ

I absolutely love using this app for college however, whenever I try to sign in, the app would keep on crashing. Please fix this because I would love to use some of the features that you guys offer.

Pen problem

Been using the app since 2022 but recently the writing pencil has been giving me issues, when I write a letter it doesnโ€™t register the first half of where I write so Iโ€™m left with half a letter my hโ€™s turns into an nโ€™s and my aโ€™s turn into uโ€™s Iโ€™ve filed a bug report but apart from the initial email back I havenโ€™t heard anything Iโ€™m probably going to have to search for a new app if the problem isnโ€™t fixed.

No free trial for premium

I think this app is great however there should be a free trial for premium so we can decide if the premium is worth it.

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
