### 2/5 — 촬용하여사진첨부하기가 너무 복잡해졌어요

*2026-07-10*

예전엔 노트에서 바로 촬영하여 사진붙이기가 되었었는데 지금은 촬용하기 누르면 아예 바탕화면으로 나와서 카메라누르고 촬영해서 앨범가서 찾아야 해요 너무 비생산적 이에요 왜 업그레아드가 안돼나요 ㅜㅜㅜ

### 1/5 — MetaMoJi ゴールドサービス

*2026-07-02*

MetaMoJi ゴールドサービスの
12ヶ月の購入ができません。(年間　5000円)
1ヶ月の購入はできます。(月800円　年間9600円)
これは故意にされているのですか？
これは実質の値上げですか？
ここ数年、アプリのアップデートも無いのに？
このアプリを使うなとゆう事ですか？
無責任すぎます！
せめて年間の購入を再会して頂きたいです。

### 1/5 — なんでアプリってどのアプリも改悪ばかりなの？アップルペンシルが使えなくなってる！

*2026-04-22*

Apple ipadPro(M5)最新のアップルペンシルで
手書きができねーじゃねーかよ。
アップルペンシルで何も反応してない！

### 2/5 — Needs New Update

*2026-03-15, version 3.10.4*

This app does not work with newer apple products such as Apple Pencil Pro (2025). Last update was 7 years ago.

### 5/5 — Practical and works well + old iPad version compatible

*2026-03-01*

So far, I’m loving it! It is the only app that has the features I looked for in GoodNotes and Notability (especially the handwriting-to-text recognition after having bought the additional app), and that works in older iPad models! And what’s even better is that I don’t have to have a subscription plan (a one-time pay! I can’t express my gratitude for this company’s absolutely genius software to have allowed for such smooth hand-writing to text recognition (if it wasn’t for this app, I would have had to get a new iPad). One recommendation I have though is to add the option to study flash cards, support math equation formatting and integrations to Google Calendars, Reminders, and other apps (idk if all of that’s possible to do while still maintaining a software compatible with older models but I would appreciate it immensely!)

### 4/5 — せっかくいいアプリなのにApplePencilProサポートして欲しい！

*2026-02-21*

iPadPro3＋ApplePencil2は正しく動作しましたが、iPadProM5＋ApplePencilProだと認識してくれませんでした。ノートアプリの中ですごく使いやすかったと思いましたが是非対応して欲しいところです。

### 1/5 — Schreien mit Stift geht nicht mehr, daher unbrauchbar
