Great app for notes

The app is great! I just started yesterday and I love it! You can stay on the free version which has great basic features AND they let you watch ads to try the premium features (up to 100 mins a day)! I thought the one time investment of ~9$ was worth it! The only thing I would like to see implemented is the ability to seamlessly scroll sideways for some notes. Some of my pdfs are too wide and so it gets cut off to the next page. If there was some feature to arrange the pages that would be so helpful!

Response from developer

Hello, this is the Flexcil team. Thank you for your thoughtful review and for choosing Flexcil Premium. We’re glad you’re enjoying the app. We’re sorry that viewing wide PDFs has been inconvenient. To make reading and organizing your notes easier, we will carefully consider your suggestions for seamless horizontal scrolling and more flexible page arrangements. Thank you for sharing your experience and helping us improve Flexcil.

My favorite pdf reader ever

This app is one of my favorites for reading pdfs. All it needs is an infinite canvas for my notes, and I would give it 5 stars.

My customer service experience was also excellent. While I do not enjoy reading LLM output, I appreciate their fast response and helpful attitude.

Needs to have higher rating than goodnotes and notability

Premium user - Major issues after most recent update (All fixed now!)

[Update: All issues below were resolved within 1 DAY of my request. Thanks for the quick response 🙏]
Some issues:
1. I can’t add pages at the bottom of existing and new documents anymore. Every time I click the “+” button the app shuts down.
2. I can’t add pages in between the pages of existing documents. The app also shuts down every time I click the “+” button.
3. The document-specific settings, such as “pinching out to view page list” doesn’t conserve across sessions, meaning every time I open the app, the setting is reset.

OTHER THAN THE ISSUES ABOVE, THIS APP IS SO WORTH THE MONEY!
