### 3/5 — Best writing experience but…

*2026-05-30*

I love writing the writing experience on this app. Definitely great for that. BUT it needs a full screen view mode without any of the menus!!! Please do that.  Also double tap to undo would be clutch.

### 4/5 — I love this app and waiting for updates

*2025-09-29, version 1.5*

Good apps but it needs updates

### 2/5 — Pas ouf…

*2025-08-26*

Impossible de désactiver le dessin au doigt sur iPad, pas de raccourcis, l’écriture est pas précise et fonctionne une fois sur dix…

Impossible de personnaliser ses paramètres, si l’application était plus friendly pour les utilisateurs elle serait vraiment top mais ce n’est pas le cas.

### 4/5 — Paper alternative

*2025-02-24*

So this hasn’t been updated in a while, no new features but a good alternative to Paper. Glad I found this and hope it gets an update.

### 1/5 — There’s no backup or sync

*2025-02-02, version 1.5*

I can’t explain how much I loved this app until I tried to sync or backup and everything is gone. I googled and there’s nothing there, no support from the developer. It’s such a shame for a beautiful app, I don’t know what it is but it feels so natural to write or draw, I’m really sad I can’t seem to find a purpose anymore if I can’t backup

### 1/5 — Paid Features???

*2024-12-13, version 1.5*

Paid for the pro version, where are the features!

### 1/5 — Not working anymore

*2024-12-10*

Don’t use it, totally unsafe…

### 5/5 — Nên tải

*2024-11-26, version 1.5*

Thật sự app rất tốt

### 1/5 — Cannot make a PDF of the journal plus Print Promise not realized.

*2024-10-14, version 1.5*

Either provide the print function or drop it. Stop advertising that it will be coming!

At least allow a user to make a pdf of the journal?

### 1/5 — If you want to lose your content easily get this app

*2024-08-23*

Super frustrating when a note get deleted it's gone FOREVER! No undo button no recovery nothing!
Even the question that warns you of clearing the drawing is confusing when you’re on a roll. Just a shame
