User reviews

Unworkable

The application crashes almost every hour of use, and overheats the iPad. Unfortunately it’s far from being fit for purpose. I wonder if it’s been actively maintained still.

Crashes too frequently

When it works its great but you only have to experience a crash of the app after making many annotates and lose everything to get very frustrated. It’s been happening for a few months now. Plus the highlighting often will not simply highlight a word or sentence with the apple pen - instead you will get the entire section or page. That bug is rather new but equally frustrating. I am using the latest ipad with updates software. Please address otherwise need to consider more stable alternatives.

Only app ever to make my iPad crash

This app has done something few if any apps have ever done. I tried to type into a note, but apparently thats not something this note taking app can do.

I tried to have my notes side by side with my emails, but apparently whilst that is basic functionality for the ipad, it isnt for this app.

I’m impressed by how terrible this app is, and how little it works.

Useful Work Notetaking App

The app is used in how it allows for notating and notetaking in traditional text format as well as in a drawing format that is synced to corporate servers. This makes it much better for keeping notes from having to be kept on home storage devices. One of the issues I have with the app is that it is buggy and sometimes crashes without warning. It generally is fixed after a start up. The other area of improvement is with the drawing app. It should be updated to have the latest iPad pencil 2.0 functionality like tap twice to change to eraser or palate, and it should allow for the color of a drawing to be changed after I draw it with an existing color.

Reliability

The app is highly unstable and unreliable - too often it closes suddenly and i lose all my annotations on an open document
