App closes while in use and notes getting deleted
Pls fix this I paid for this, app closes while taking notes and notes are not saved when this happens
Nice app, but could use some improvements
This app is very useful and focused. The UX is intuitive and the app is very snappy, which is great for taking quick notes on the go. I also love that you don’t need a monthly subscription to use it. The big drawback for me is that the page/canvas is not infinite in size, and therefore the page can feel quite constrained. Yes, you can zoom in to create the illusion of more space, but then you have to adjust your pen size, and the page lines/grid will appear overly huge.

Great app overall but it really NEEDS some fixes
This is a great app overall, but it desperately needs some fixes. For example...
* There is no confirmation when deleting pages and no undo for deleted pages - they are gone forever if you make a mistake
* There is no confirmation when deleting a file (although I was able to search around and find an accidentally deleted file in the recently deleted area of the Files app)
* The app doesn't keep your place when the app re-opens (it is very annoying every time to have to find the last file used and navigate to the last page used)
* On my device (a mini), the "wide lines" are still way too close. There needs to be a 'super wide' line option to have decent space for writing
* App defaults to finger pointer with no option to change the default to the pen (so you can't open the app and start writing immediately)
* Unlike their other app, the eraser doesn't seem to offer the option to erase specific colors (I'm NOT referring to deleting all of a specific color, which can be done). This is so disappointing!
* Navigating through notebooks with many pages is a big hassle (there is no quick way to jump to a specific page or to the end - it's not a big deal on small files, but it's really difficult with 100+ page notebooks). Not many page icons are shown either (it would be better to show a whole screen of thumbnail icons so we didn't have to do so much scrolling to find the page we need)
* No undo for import issues. For example, I accidentally imported a 200+ page PDF and had to delete each of the 200 pages manually since it wouldn't undo the action
* To print, you have to remember to export to a pdf and then print. I think there should be an easier way to print
* The icon is so dark that it looks like a grayed out app on my screen. Please add some lighter icon options so users can pick an icon that works better for their screens
I had to go to their website for help, but I found their help is lacking. For example...
* There is supposed to be a way to shade behind ink, but it doesn't work (it shades over everything). Perhaps this can be done, but it is not explained how to do it
* It says you can rotate, but the instructions for this feature do not seem to match what is on the screen (there is no round rotation grip)
* It says there is a straight-line tool, but I can't find any such tool, even though I can find the other tools
* It references the 'gallery', but I can't find any way to get to the gallery (to access the app's settings). The default home screen seems to be the app's files in the Files App with no settings for this app
* It references pan mode, but does not make clear what pan mode actually is
* Etc.
Please consider the suggestions above. If you were to fix these items, I think it would be a 5 star app.

Just a warning
I haven’t used it enough to comment on everything. They make an app called Cardflow+ which I have been using and I love; and thought this Noteflow+ would be a good companion in which to write my Morning Pages. HOWEVER, two days in ago, twenty minutes of thoughts I had written down, about 4 pages, just disappeared after I went away from the app for a moment. So I had to stop using it since I don’t know the cause and can’t trust it to keep my work. I emailed them but have received no response. That is not a good sign. I like the other app, Cardflow+ but I just realized their subscription price of $2.99 per month is far too expensive when you compare it to an app like Morpholio (by the folks at Moleskin) and it’s simple elegance at only $3.99 per year.

Very Glitchy
For a paid app, it is very glitchy to the point that it is mostly unusable. I frequently experience the app crashing suddenly, or closing the file I was working on and saying it was suddenly “deleted remotely”. It is very annoying. I love the app but I’ve had to switch to alternatives because of how often it crashes.
