My new daily driver

I’ve tried templates in multiple PDF apps, ReMarkable tablet, a never ending .txt file… This app is exactly what I’ve wanted all along. An ingeniously elegant design with powerful features.

Request for right-to-left notebooks

I’m a long-time ATP listener from Iran. My only reason for buying new iPhones is Overcast, and now i think i found another great app that will make me buy my next iPads.
My request is to add right-to-left notebooks. As you know Persians, Arabs and Japanese (and many others) use right-to-left notebooks.
Thanks again for your great apps.

Lovely and delightful

Such a nice app. It’s simple, fast, no clutter. Has a great personal touch to the UI. Nice work!

No adding pictures

This is an amazing app, a bit pricy just to get more colors tho, it would be better if you added more color variations, the only really down side is not being able to insert pictures, otherwise I would give it 5 stars.

Very fun to use

This app is very fun and simple to use.
I love in fineliner the headers/page links, my own icons, my handwriting font and .. page curl. Love those features.

Those features exist in other apps but here they don’t feel bloated or out of place.

I was using my mini 5 with pencil 1 almost everyday with procreate. Then the usage dropped because of speed issues. Tried remarkable for handrwiting notes without success.

They are still some features in Fineliner that I don’t get : the autowrap text. I wish I could turn it off. Unless of course I am doing something wrong, but then, show me the good way please.

A delight!

It’s a charming and effective design that’s a delight to use. Never have I had so much fine setting up an app!

Instant classic. Alternate glyphs for the custom font please!

…handwriting recognition would also be great! Also, let us custom draw the icon! Fast, smooth, responsive, simple, doesn’t do that uncanny thing the default apple writing engine does where it predicts the future then changes its mind. As good as or better than goodnotes, my former favorite. Bought the deluxe pack instantly.

Dark mode

Really love this app but wish dark mode did not make the pages black and text white. I’d rather decide in setting for each notebook the color of pages. I currently have to turn dark mode off my phone whenever I use the app to get white pages which is an odd design choice imo. I’ll update to 5 stars if this is changed.

Marco

I know you have a philosophical reason for the rule lines to stay put when you rotate the screen but I think you should have an option to have the rule lines follow orientation. Also I will pay big money for a pencil. Thank you, from a fellow Phish phan 😁

Love this app

Such a neat idea. Seeing my own handwriting is so cool and the way the app is set up. Delightful! Love it.

Crash Problem Edge Case

Love the app. Let grandchild draw lots of scribbles per character. Eventually app crashed. Can’t recover. Can’t delete. Crashes on start.

Looking for to a fix.

What a delight!

I’ve had an Apple Pencil since the first iPad Pro. I’ve used my Apple Pencil more in the last day than I have in the last seven years. Hands down the best Apple Pencil experience by far.

Thanks

You’ve hit this one out of the park. It should move a lot of Apple Pencils…

Fun App with some glitches

The app is pretty fun, even after the onboarding. There are some glitches, like scribble text with Apple Pencil isn’t working.
I hope the glitches are temporary but the fun will stick around longer

Great fun

Can’t believe this hasn’t been done before. What a cool idea! Really good fun. Thanks Marco.

Simple and fun in the best way possible!

It’s a great app for the iPad, and since it lets me make a font in my handwriting I can easily type on my phone into notes I started on my iPad.

Fun!

This is the first time I actually enjoyed the onboarding process. I can’t draw but I have to say, I’m pretty happy with the UI I made.

I have lots of note taking apps already and this is the first one I feel like showing to other people because it feels personal. Well done! I’m looking forward to see how it evolves.

Nice

The interface is a really great idea. Also: no subscription which is nice for a change.

Great App, easy to use and FUN

Endlich eine App, mit denen ich Notizen machen kann, die nicht anstrengend ist Spaß macht ein Lächeln aufs Gesicht bringt und auch nicht unnötige Abos hat sondern einmal Käufe und auch nur wenn man möchte. Der Entwickler hat tolle Arbeit geleistet.

The missing pencil app

I was struggling to find a use for my Apple Pencil. Notes was frustrating me trying to parse my handwriting horribly and putting up barriers to formatting notes. Fineliner solves all that. It lets me take notes, scribble poorly, and it’s just like a piece of paper. Except it’s paper that can OCR my writing and make it searchable. It’s paper I can share with others. It’s the best of paper notebooks and computers combined.
If you have an Apple Pencil, try this app.

Everyone loves the onboarding. I love the app. I
