pretty great

this app is kind of good. My handwriting is really messy, so I always have to restart button. They only let you access the reading note pads at a time was really frustrated me but it was probably just my Apple Pencil because it was almost dead so but this app is really good. It helps me with my to do list since it helped me with notes for school. It helped me a lot. but this app is actually better than I expected someone on TikTok recommended this and I was like I’m not gonna pay for one of those other notebook apps, so I’ll try to download this one and I did and it’s pretty good. It helps you a lot. Thanks for reading this bye

over the top ads.

i understand free apps have to use ads. but EVERY time i added a page an ad popped up. initially i thought i was clicking on the ad. didn’t get a chance to really see if i like the app or not. the ads are too over the top. two stars instead of one because it seems good. but I didn’t stick around to really find out.

Ads

I just spent $20 to upgrade to pro version so ads would stop popping up while I’m working. Ads are still coming If the ads stop I’ll change review to 5 stars
Discovered it was an entirely new app and I was using old app
It works great for taking math notes. No more adds, 5 stars

Great app

I have tried multiple note apps and like I did any them until got this. It's a great app and any one looking for a app that can get the job done, this is a great app to get.

Sub Folders for Organizing

Really like the app and I’ve been using it for couple of years for taking notes on job sites. The only thing I don’t like about it is that there isn’t any way for organizing the files. Would be great if files could be added or placed in a folder (I.e. - customer folder) so when looking back and searching for a file you could just go to that “customer folder” (for example) and see every file you have for that particular customer rather than having to search through them all. Just a suggestion.

Lost Pages and Keeps Crashing!

Honestly started off so well although was slightly disappointed only 3 notebooks are allowed. Then pages randomly started disappearing when I go back to them - they become completely blank (not even ruled just bright blank) it started crashing a lot and doesn’t save my work - there should be a save button at least. Started becoming very frustrating and if I hadn’t already wrote some notes there I would definitely stop working on this app and transfer elsewhere.

10 minute use -crashed twice already

I just downloaded the free version to see if I liked it. It is easy to use, but in only 10 minutes, it's now crashed twice. Each time I lost my latest changes and had to restart and then decline again the additional purchase version.

Cannot Recommend

For the short amount of time I have had this app (a day), I have experienced way too many frustrating errors. The biggest problem I had with this app was the fact that it crashed four times today. I downloaded this app just to write my math test and I lost my work for four problems because of this. This was made even more infuriating by the fact that the problems each required a page worth of work. Another small bug is the amount of times my hands have made marks on my work even though I am using an apple pencil. As soon as I finish this test, I will be deleting the app.

Hi! Thank you for your report! We're deeply sorry for the issues. Could you please contact us directly at support@apalon.com with the information about your device's model and the iOS version installed? We're willing to help.

It is ok

I think that is a great game it is that I have a nock off apple pen and it will not wright or it will cover the whole screen in what color I am using. Also you cannot upload it. If you look at the game pictures it shows a lot more colors than you get. I like the game because you can use snaps highlight and there is a typing tool. I think that this game could be improved.

Its great but can improve

I honestly love this note taking app but the thing is the free version only lets me do 2 books and I don't want to pay 20 dollars just to get more books and pen colors...... I really don't think it's worth TwEnTy dollars just to get more books and pen colors with 20 dollars I'd rather go to five below and get cooler stuffs than payments no 20 dollars for the note plus I love everything about it but I don't want to pay 20 dollars just for a small little upgrade. Please fix this. 😓

AMAZING APP!Small thing I noticed but it’s totally fine! There’s always room for improvement!

I have got to say, this app is amazing! It has so many features from text, drawing, shapes and so much more! I have so much yet to discover. I recently got this app and it is an amazing notes app! I will start making notes when I need to! I have one glitch or flaw and it’s totally fine, there’s always room for improvement. I don’t have a Apple Pencil so I use my hands and when I try to type it allows you to however on my “paper” I can’t see what I’m typing. If theres a solution please tell me! It’s totally fine I know it’s very hard to make a app in the first place. I just want to get that glitch fixed if it is something. Overall, this is a awesome note taking app! Thanks for making this it helps me and a lot of other people out! Good app!
Edit: Thank you for replying! I sure will! I’m so happy that you hear everyone’s voice with the ones who use your app!

Hi! Thank you for sharing your feedback with us! We're really glad that you enjoy using our application. Could you please contact our support team at support@apalon.com so we could look into the problem described? Looking forward to hearing from you!

Heck no

Not no, but he** no. Screen does not keep up with actual pen stroke speed. Lags behind like an animation. It’s not my device. The native app doesn’t have this problem.

The eraser doesn’t erase the entire stroke. It only erases what it touches, like a real eraser. Not efficient for taking notes.

The palm rejection is better than nothing, but that’s the extent of positive things to say about it. It doesn’t have any kind of smart sensing like Samsung Note. Instead, you have to slide a screen up and down over the area where your hand will rest.

The big no, however, is that it pops up full screen ads
..... frequently ...
and won’t let you close them for several seconds. They obviously care more about the money than customer experience.

The paid version may be great, but I’m not sticking around to find out.

Meh

This app is OK. I can easily write down the problems I have for math class or whatever but it’s so hard to get things done and focus with all the ads. Like, I just erase a little mark and a ad pops up. The ads are the only problem for me. If there were a lot less ads then I would rate this app higher than 3 stars. That’s all :)

The best

I’ve downloaded so SO many apps for drawing, markup, and doodling with my Apple Pencil.
This is by far the most intuitive notebook app, but when Imif you feet lost it’s ok; it comes with extensive and easy to understand instructions.
I love the color wheel and the realistic and pressure sensitive drawing tools.
I don’t even need to use my Apple Pencil, it will still work flawlessly...as for my art, well, perfection is the enemy of art.
But perfection is the BFF of this app. No, it’s the baby.

Best game ever!!

It is so easy to take me notes with this app! I love this app so much. It’s so good when you need to remember something or if you’re studying for a test. For the test you can just write down all the questions and ask yourself them and you just write them down at the bottom or on the next slide. This game makes it so easy for you to remember anything. You can title all the slides.
You can write and share to your friends or family your slides. If you want to talk to them about something that you don’t want to talk to some of the family just share it with them.

Great free app

I love this app, it does just what I want out of a basic notepad app. The only drawback is that they have packed it so full of annoying ad pop ups that it is hard to use. So I will either upgrade for $20, or just give up and try another.

Storage hog

I paid for the pro version and have found the app very useful for the last few years, but it is now taking up 3.47 gigabytes of storage on my iPad, even though I have deleted all but six brief handwritten documents. I keep deleting stuff and it doesn’t get any smaller. In fact I erased part of a document and it got a bit bigger.

Poorly Executed

This app has a lot of good ideas, but executed them very poorly. It’s literally a knockoff Notability. The ads make it impossible to focus, the app isn’t visually appealing, and the write function is very glitchy. Adding more options for customizing paper would be nice, as well as just making the whole thing run much more smoothly, because it’s very choppy now. The thing that irks me the most (besides the ads you have to fix those ads) is the lack of a good UX scheme. A UX scheme is the User Experience, and this app just wasn’t appealing at all. Users can overlook small faults with an app if it looks good, but this app just looks... terrible. There’s no color, the paper options are bland and uncustomizable, and the blue-white scheme just isn’t working. Whoever made this app needs to find someone who’s good at visual design.

Good but I think it could be better

Hi!
I enjoy this app, but the amount of ads I am getting are insane. I understand that you are trying to get people to upgrade to Pro, and I’m good with that. The app is getting really hard to use. Again, I am okay with the ads, but please can there be less? For a student trying to World on homework, this is really not ideal. Thank you for the trouble.

Ads & Glitches galore

I got this app to take notes for my studying. After using it for a few days I needed to get my notes out and this app deleted ASAP. The app would ask me at least twice a day if I wanted to upgrade to the paid version, no thank you! Then, as if they were punishing me for not purchasing the upgrade, I’d get ad pop ups every minute! Making it impossible to take notes. Also, my iPad would glitch every time I had the app open! Now that I’ve deleted it, no glitches.

These functionality limitations in the app are compensated by the fact that it’s free. Please consider checking our portfolio for the applications with no ads that are available for download on different terms. Sorry for the possible inconvenience.
