### 1/5 — What am I doing wrong?

*2026-01-26*

I have a Apple Pencil and I was trying to use it. It’s all the way to charge. It doesn’t work. It only works with my finger. It’s not even letting me write notes with my Apple Pencil. I hate this app. That’s why I read the reviews first.

### 1/5 — Trash

*2025-08-10, version 3.11*

Stops working entirely, every time u open it it immediately crashes

### 1/5 — Very disappointed

*2025-01-28*

I wrote so many notes and they’re all gone because you have to save the document to your files before creating a new one. I wrote so many pages and they’re all gone. This app would’ve been great if it lets you go back to the documents you’ve had before, but it doesn’t. I don’t recommend

**Developer response:** I am sorry to hear that you are unhappy with the app. The documents that you have created are stored locally on your device in the app folder, and if you have enabled iCloud connectivity will also be located in a folder named MyNotebook in your iCloud directory. If you have a look I am sure they will be there. A future version will have better file management within the app.

### 1/5 — Nothing Worth Noting

*2024-10-12*

Very basic. Very simplistic. Bare minimum with no worthy features or quality note taking options. Somewhat gimicky to use, as I found this to be a very low quality app, drownint lackluster effort on basically everything. If you want bare minimum with no customizable options and nothing else, this may be the app for you.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. I have released a newer version that hopefully includes the features that you are looking for. If you are looking for something specific in an app please let me know.

### 1/5 — Helpppp

*2024-03-16, version 2.04*

I lost my notes. There’s no feature of seeing a gallery page of different files saved. I studies for full day and made notes for a competitive exam from a four hours video n now it’s all lost. Am crying from past two days. Please help me to recover them if there’s any way

### 1/5 — Doesn’t do what it is supposed to

*2023-11-22*

The appis broken and doesn’t actually do what it was intended to do for users.

**Developer response:** I Rictoven, thank you for your feedback. I did notice the bug causing the app to crash and it has now been fixed.

### 1/5 — File got corrupted mid way. No option of recovery.

*2023-08-28, version 1.22*

I had very important data of creative writing which is lost completely because of file corruption. If possible please help recovering my data

### 2/5 — I want this to love it but it doesnt work

*2025-04-01*

its a fantastic app, light and good tools but its a bit gimmicky to open files i have to share them from the files app, icons for opening and saving documents are confusing and they dont work, BUT the exported files, more often than not, do not save with the annotations. if you restart the app you lose all your progress, doesnt happen all the time, but when reviewing plans this can waste hours of review, i take screenshots to be safe but its not worth it that way. it used to be more stable with the old icons

**Developer response:** Hi. Thank you for the feedback. A new version has just been released which includes internal file navigation. With this an improved auto save algorithm has been implemented. Feedback is always appreciated.

### 3/5 — It’s got potential

*2023-07-21*

I love the drawing action of the pens. The ui interaction for saving and opening notes is really unclear to me. I can’t tell where the note I was working on went.

### 5/5 — The perfect note app

*2024-04-28*

I love it don’t change a thing . It’s the cats meow . Cool stuff man

### 5/5 — Transformative.

*2022-11-30, version 1.13*

This will change my teaching. I’m so excited. Will come back to write a proper review after road testing but it looks so promising.
