Working with text is such a pain

Selecting text, adjusting the leading, all so glitchy, it's not worth it.

Good app

The few things I don’t like about this app is that it underlines everything. My spelling could be correct but because it isn’t written “clearly” it underlines or even if my words are to close. Other then that the app glitch’s with the normal Apple Pencil. 4/5 though I love the app to take notes just wish it didn’t glitch or underline everything.

almost perfect

I love that this isn’t a subscription, it i do wish it had certain features. I’d like to be able to turn the page like on procreate or zinnia. that helps me write sometimes! I’d love it if it had more features from zinnia too, the only reason i use procreate is because zinnia requires a subscription.

Simply Unusable

The amount of time it crashes and deletes work that you’ve painstakingly been working on.. finally given up with this stupid app and going back to Apple notes

Perfect study habit

I have recently downloaded this app and it has given me the opportunity to take a break from sitting at a desk, in a room, or writing/typing in a book or computer. Instead, now I can take my iPad with me outside, in a car, literally anywhere and still do the same study routine I have been doing for months. It offers me more time to develop a deeper understanding on what topics I study and it is super easy to use. I would recommend this app to anyone who is studying, working, or in general, because you can do anything on this website. Absolutely amazing, if I could do it, I’d give this app 6 stars.
