### 3/5 — No notebooks in iPad?

*2024-12-31, version 2.0*

I like how I can individual on my Android phone, not sure why we can’t on iPhone.

### 2/5 — Limited value

*2023-12-18, version 2.0*

Superficial instructions that offer no real information.  Seems there’s no page set-up, other than default (which is ???).  Theres a “print” function, but no apparent way to set-up this, either.  On the positive side, it makes handwriting look pretty on the screen.   A pitty there’s no apparent way to use it.

### 4/5 — Backgrounds Not Loading

*2022-12-21*

This is my favorite app, that I use the most on my iPad and now the background papers that I’ve paid for no longer loading properly.

### 4/5 — Enjoying it more than notes +

*2022-06-07*

I hope this app is not abandoned. I'm liking it more than notes +, as it is more focused and less buggy. The only thing missing is a highlighter tool.

### 2/5 — Cannot export notebook

*2022-05-07, version 2.0*

Too bad for using on ipad, too less function more than on android and cannot export to pdf

### 4/5 — Like this but curious

*2021-08-27*

This is a great app and it’s  wonderful with The Apple Pencil but I am trying to figured out now I wrote words with 2 colors. The first time I used it I wrote words with the outline in black and the inside of the character in red. I can’t seem to figure out how to do that again. Could you please tell me how to do that? It’s a great effect! Thanks.

### 4/5 — simple and easy to use! a few recommendations

*2021-04-15*

i use this app for when I have to write notes for my chem class, math class, and health class. it’s really easy to use and provides a lot of writing space and from what I’ve used, practically an infinite amount of pages. i wish it had some sort of folder organization option though.. it’s kind of too much too handle when you have to press an up and bottom button to get back to a certain page and sometimes you don’t get the right page.

### 4/5 — So good

*2021-03-11, version 2.0*

When I take notes this makes it so easy for me

### 2/5 — How the hell do you save stuff?

*2021-02-18, version 2.0*

I mean it’s great yeah I like it but how do you save what you’ve written and store it? Strange app.

### 3/5 — Can’t paste pictures

*2021-02-14*

I love the app but it’s missing a few things. On all the reviews I see the option to add pictures I don’t have it. Also I would love the options to have multiple books. As a business owner and student I don’t want all my notes in one book fix this and I’ll give it 5 stars. 
Definitely unlocked most of the features because they are useful I’m surprised no one else asked for multiple book options

### 2/5 — USED to be good

*2020-12-16, version 2.0*

I had this app for a while now and it used to be great. Now that you can no longer save with a transparent background, it’s pretty useless. I gave it another star just because of fond memories.

### 2/5 — Would be 5

*2020-10-27, version 2.0*

The android version has a library to save multiple note books. This only has the one sheet. Which is a shame bc I love the app.

### 3/5 — Don’t Update

*2020-10-10, version 2.0*

First off, thanks to the dev for showing this app some love, and not abandoning it. It’s my favorite note scribbling app!

But... They didn’t touch any of the bugs that actually, well, “bug” me:  My pencil still occasionally runs out of “ink”. Words still randomly self destruct no matter how many times you rewrite them. Moving text still freezes the screen until you select something else. All this update seems to have done is make the actual writing - the part I really loved about this app - a little less satisfying.

If you still have the option, do yourself a favor and leave v2.0 in the App Store.  It doesn’t seem to have improved anything. 

Note to Dev’s: if you still have the code for the line smoothing from the last version, put it back! It was by far the best writing experience in the App Store. Even better than the full version. It’s the reason I went back to this app. If anything, take the code you took out of here and use it in there too. It’s THAT good - or at least it WAS.

### 2/5 — Could be great, but

*2020-09-12, version 1.6*

This has the potential to be a really great writing app, but the app has a particularly bad habit of erasing my pen strokes as I’m making them. Since I have to write everything 5-6 times before the app finally leave it on the page, the app just isn’t worth using.

### 4/5 — Only issue

*2020-08-06*

When using Apple Pencil is normal mode and zooming in to the size for note taking it would be nice if you zoomed in and switched to stylist mode the zoom would stay and not zoom back out

### 4/5 — More features

*2020-06-06, version 1.6*

Love this app so far! Super easy to just start taking notes, plus the fountain pen makes your handwriting look amazing. I would however love to be able to have seperate notebooks!! And n option to see all the pages of my notes laid out In a grid so you can easily jump between pages. I know there’s multiple notebook options in notebook + but having even a limited number in the free version would be awesome. Would also love it if it could support a shared window view with my iPad so I could have the app on one side and what I’m reading/taking notes from on the other.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Erases previous stroke

*2023-05-13, version 2.0*

Yeah as others have said, in calligraphic mode it sometimes erases previous stroke.  This is very annoying making the app useless.

### 1/5 — Only 1 note! Really!

*2022-07-18, version 2.0*

This app only has one note. You can add lots of pages but they are all contained in a single note/document!
How odd is that?

### 1/5 — Cool Features, except the fact that they don’t even work :(

*2021-02-02*

I got this app because I have a stylus generation 1 (doesn’t have palm rejection) and I needed to use the palm rejection feature on the app. The palm rejection feature DOES NOT WORK. I will put my hand down and it will either delete everything i wrote or draw where my hand was placed. When I write and erase, it tends to be glitchy. That is both the pen and the apps problem. PLEASE FIX THIS! In the meantime, I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS APP FOR YOU! DON’T DOWNLOAD! I will stick to using apple notes without palm rejection because, honestly, its way better than having to use this app.

### 1/5 — Wont Restore Purchases

*2020-12-15, version 2.0*

Had this app since it came out. Purchased all the upgrades, now it will not restore my purchases. Email for support on website is no good.

### 1/5 — Won't export

*2020-06-20, version 1.6*

I contacted customer support and they were of no help. I deleted the app and redownloaded it to no avail. I used to love this app now I have it. Sad that I wasted money on extra types of pens and paper

### 1/5 — Lost work

*2019-05-29, version 1.6*

I really liked this app, but all of a sudden it started creating multiple copies of a notebook and I have lost a large portion of notes. Unacceptable.

### 1/5 — Not working

*2019-05-01, version 1.6*

I purchased the extra pen options and the background options. I can switch between pens but they all look the same. I can drag the size slider but the pens don’t get any bigger. I wish I had read the reviews before I spent money on this. Going to demand a refund.

### 1/5 — What thehell

*2019-03-25, version 1.6*

I just bought one pen for 99p, it charged me £2.49 or something and didn't even get the pen???

### 1/5 — Only has one good thing.

*2018-08-16*

The only good thing this app has is the calligraphy effect, so handwriting looks ten times better. I am having a major problem with writing because it has glitches and erases my letters when I’m writing. I have turned off multitasking gestures so I can rest my palm on the screen, and I have also attempted writing without my palm on the screen. Either way, the writing still jumps and deletes everything I’m writing as I’m writing it. I also don’t like that when you want to erase something you can’t lift your stylus or finger off of the screen because it jumps back to writing. If INKredible is so incredible, it would be nice to have these incredibly annoying things fixed.

### 1/5 — Awful

*2018-08-16, version 1.6*

Extremely glitchy. Barely supports Apple Pencil. I made a mistake and it wouldn’t erase. Not worth the money want a refund

### 5/5 — Different app

*2024-09-03, version 2.0*

What’s the difference between note plus and note plus x?

### 5/5 — Invaluable

*2024-03-14, version 2.0*

I keep this app in my dock.
It’s my go-to when I need to take quick notes for example while on a phone call for work.
I can then export the notes as or when needed, or import them into notes +.
(The calligraphy stylus is the best of any note taking app I have tried).

### 5/5 — Nice and smooth

*2023-09-22*

I use this app to calm me down, it’s a very smooth and effective. One thing I noticed is that it kind of fixes your handwriting and makes it very smooth! I haven’t stumbled into any problems yet so that’s why it’s 5 stars!

### 5/5 — Best one I have found on App Store.

*2021-02-24, version 2.0*

I work with Architecture and I needed a simple quick sketch tool to survey buildings. The app is simple and easy to use, l’ll give it a five star rating, it could better if I could draw more technical drawings with it but for a free app it’s just what I need.

### 5/5 — Great application

*2020-12-10*

One of the best I've seen! I would like to see you add functionality to save pages as a PDF and to be able to save more than one note book.

### 5/5 — Good app for pencil

*2020-12-07, version 2.0*

^

### 5/5 — An addition

*2020-09-13*

I like this app very much. I would like to see an addition to the paper types, a TAB sheet that has 6 spaces so that tab can be written in the spaces rather than with a line thru the tablature. Am I making sense? Check Stephan Grossman’s books on guitar instruction for the perfect tab sheets. Thanks.

### 5/5 — 5 Star But !

*2020-08-16, version 1.6*

Incredible simplicity.
But why the app is not compatible with iPad pro ? I mean there’s black edges on both sides.
Please fix this issue. 
Thanks 🙏

### 5/5 — Excellent.

*2020-05-04, version 1.6*

Really pleased with the app. I have just got an iPad and pencil and came across this free app. I couldn’t ask for anything more than this! 
Purchases are reasonable as well if you require more pen styles etc. 
Highly recommend.

### 5/5 — No black paper?

*2019-08-28, version 1.6*

Android version allows changing paper color to black so I can use white ink but not on iOS, so disappointed.
