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.

Not convinced as yet
Ok so far.
Not hugely intuitive, i think I should have practised with the free version before purchasing. I’m not sure what the difference between this app and the ink flow app.

Getting better
Recent updates were a nice addition to the app…
Sadly, no longer great
I loved this app, but, sadly, it no longer seems to function properly with the newer iOS versions - photo import no longer works properly. I tried giving feedback to the Qrayon website, but it’s submission page seems to be broken and it keeps saying my email address is incorrect. Help, please, Qrayon folks! Make you app work with iOS 16!

import is broken
I am using your apps well. But it seems the import feature is broken. I can’t add calendars or import any pdf, they just show up as blank pages!!! Please fix this thank you
Not working properly after updating to iOS 16. 2
Some features of the app like inserting images,importing PDFs, inserting calendars etc don’t work. Please fix this
Application stop working
Application worked for a long time and it was really handy. I think a recent iOS update messed something up. All of my docs that I”ve marked up are blank and I can only see what I wrote but not the picture or document in the back ground. I’ve tried to contact support via the link and it always says my email is wrong, I”ve tried three different addresses. Now I’m stuck with a bunch of notes that are useless and no way to export them out.

Could be really good but two big problems
PDF and photos do not show up when imported. You go through the motions and it acts like it is working but you end up with a blank space. They do not even show up in the intro notebook that comes with the app to get you started.
&@%#
I worked for an hour on a project. When I tried to format it so that would fit on one page, it completely disappeared and I haven’t been able to find it.
Long Time User
This app for a long time. It is definitely time for a refresh or update. It has gotten to the point where it is not as user-friendly as it could be. I get a lot of ‘file deleted’ messages. It is an actually deleted per se, butIt does cost a lot of hassle trying to get my documents to function.
There are limitations that seem like they could be conquered by now. Each page should be customizable rather than uniform stationary. When I export with graphics, there is always a graphic missing from the first page. There are just so many small glitches.
I still use the app regularly but there are small time-consuming glitches that I wish I could be refreshed, corrected and just feature updates that seem long overdue.
Don’t get me wrong it is definitely worth having.

Best App For Visionaries
If your old school like me, I love pen and paper. This is it. So easy to use, so many features. Love Love Love it!
Unusable lag
I have (possibly literally) every note app in the store. This is the one and only that lags. Unusable.
I'm not being nitpicky, I actually can't use it.
Wouldn't leave a rating if this were free- I wouldn't even if it was like $5 or $8. $14.99 for a writing app that lags when writing? That's offensive.

simple but effective
to really work with my workflow, sharing data with a Mac would be great.
I did try it on my M1 mac, sadly just crashed on open - clearly only sold as an iPad app. But suggests a little work & testing would be required to make it available...
The cut / select and resize / move is very intuitive.

Great UX
Very happy with the app. It’s helping me learn better. I do wish if there’s a feature to fix the location of the page when I write. My hand kept moving it. And more brushes please. And is there a read only mode where I can just swipe right and left to turn pages? I also wish I can double tap with two or three fingers to fit the page to the width of the iPad.

Everyday application
I use this application every day as my general mind mapping tool. I tried a few of the newer ones around today, but ended up sticking with Noteflow + because the basic mechanisms for drawing, selecting, resizing, and rotating are superior.
