😭😱😔

This app didn’t even let me scan, it just when out of the app the millisecond I tried to scan anything.

The scanning option doesn’t work

I wanted to digitalize my notes but when I tried to scan my notes, there was black strip on the side of my phone and it wouldn’t let me scan. If it was able to scan easily this would easily to be my favorite.

Disappointing Quality

This app would be incredibly useful if it was actually functional. I can see the intent behind it, but there are too many things wrong with it to justify using it as opposed to scanning everything with a different app. Most scans come out completely blurry, there’s no way to indicate different ā€œgroupsā€ of pages within one notebook, and the automatic flashcards provide a blank card with a random sentence on the back. Overall, incredibly disappointing. As much as I love Five Star stationary products, I have to say this app is by far one of the worst study/notes apps out there. 0/10 recommend. It was almost a good idea.

I highly recommend GeniusScan for saving notes (:

The apps ok but you need to add something

So I think you should add like instead of the person writing the study cards it should be like you put your grade in and then you ask the app to give you some questions or information about how to do the math instead of write the work out and if your writing is slupy then you should add like the part when they understand the handwriting

Flashcards

If you like flashcards then yeah use this, but Im just using this to put my paper writing into one spot and it kinda sucks, the photos are bad and I can barely read what on the paper.

Serious Lags

Does not let me export notes

Very blurry

Scanned my notes and the images are all blurry

Faulty

Scanning feature doesn’t work. Camera feature is also faulty; while it will take a photo of a document, even if you crop it and line up the lines to the page edges, the final document is still cropped and details are cut out. No offense but I feel like this app wasn’t put through enough testing/troubleshooting.

Awful

I was really hoping this app would be good. I should’ve known from the reviews it wouldn’t be. I wanted to use it to keep my work notes on my phone so I didn’t have to pack a notebook around, but you can hardly see the scan on a phone. Even with clear, neat writing it’s next to impossible to read. I used flash like it recommended and everything. You can’t zoom and the words were blurry.

Won’t scan

Downloaded and tried scanning some sheets and would not scan. Frustrated! Couldn’t get past the first step…scanning.

Mostly useless

It’s easy to scan by lining up the QR codes, but that is about all it does well. Everything is blurry, it doesn’t do ocr, still have yet to create a usable or readable flash card. You cannot zoom in on the scans, the filters don’t work. My kid loves the notebooks to keep him organized for all his classes, but luckily we buy them for the physical use, and not for this experience. It’s just not there. It seems like it’s been out for a while, but clearly they are not capable or not willing to make it of any use.

Keeps crashing

I was really excited to use this. Everything loaded just fine, but as soon as I went to scan anything the app crashed. I’ve tried about 6 times and I’m not going to waste any more valuable study time trying. I won’t buy the note books again either since I only bought it to use with the app. Summary: don’t waste your money or time.

Disappointing

I really wanted this to be what it advertised. However, the page is cut off on the right, Google Drive integration is horrible, and the app glitches when I try to ā€œshare pdfā€.

This five star app, gets a one star for me!

Doodoo feces is what this app should be called

Let down.

Its cool for organizing but you cant zoom in and it keeps deleting my notes at random.

😪

Well, it’s not bad and all but what I would like them to put as a feature where they could take all your bad writings and then just put them into a document or something like just write them and I would like them to then, with that writing in notes that you already took in your notebook, I wish they could transform them into quizzes so you could practice practice

Awful

I can’t scan anything. The app immediately crashes after a few seconds of me opening it. Tried it on different devices and it just doesn’t work.

Why

I wanted to like it so much cause I would take pictures of my notes and it takes the picture quickly but it’s cropped so small and I can’t zoom in on them..no point in highlighting on the app, I might as well just do it in the notebook. And there’s a glare when I take a picture of the page. I’ll just stick to my normal notes and flash cards

Please make the scanner work

Scanning does not work

Why this new update made everything worse

firstly, there are so many features either missing or removed, especially like dragging folders or zooming in on things. also, the app is literally one of the slowest pieces of software i’ve ever used. like wth why does it take 3 minutes to load 30 flashcards. like come on 5 star😭 please work on making ur app bearable for people and work on actually needed features, rather than over complicating everything🫩
