Brilliant

This brilliant app seems to have been abandoned by the developers. I have used it across the years and devices and it has always worked flawlessly. Could someone not ‘rescue’ it and continue to update and develop it?

Crashes every time

Whenever I try to delete any page it simply crashes so now I have a junk of pages that I don’t want but cant delete.

Crashes when opened

Running iPadOS 16.7.2 (20H115) on iPad Pro 9.7”
The App Store says it runs on this machine.

It doesn’t seem like this app is being maintained any more. That’s a shame.

Very good app!

Easy to use and feature rich. After updating, it works on iPhone in IOS 15.4.1 Highly recommended for quick notes in hand writing or drawing.
