From Great App to Complete Garbage

Before, NotesWriter used to be a great app for marking up drawings and adding notes. It was simple, reliable, and actually useful. Now it’s a piece of garbage. The app has become frustrating to use. Really disappointing to see such a good app go downhill like this.

Great for construction

Big fan! I’ve been using this app for a few years for construction drawings. Making mark-ups, doing as-builts and filling out forms like time cards, hazard assessments and expense reports. There used to be a feature where when you selected something, there was an option to select more items to group them together. I found that tool VERY useful for overlaying things from one print to another, though it didn’t last long. Would it be possible to get it again?

A scaling tool would be great, if possible!

Worst stupid update

Why r things all changed and messed up and you cant even choose which pen to use when it’s half screened? Change it back

Beautiful and useful!🤎

Your app is wonderful and truly useful. It has been with me since my undergraduate studies and continues to support me now during my master’s journey. Thank you so much for adding the Arabic language, and I really appreciate your responsiveness! 🤎

I would be very happy to see improvements in the following areas:

Improving the pen tool to make it more flexible and smoother to use.
Adding a modern sticker library and removing outdated ones.
Enabling audio file import and export, and improving the voice recording feature by syncing it with written notes.
Adding a long-press feature to help straighten lines when selecting text.
Further enhancing the app’s user interface.
Allowing file sharing with others through an online link.
Making it possible to open multiple files (for example, 10 files) at once with a single action. This feature is extremely important for researchers, who often work with many files simultaneously. Being able to select and open multiple files at once would greatly improve workflow and productivity.
Improving the lasso (freeform) selection tool.
Adding the Hijri date alongside the Gregorian date and the day, with an option to enable it in settings.
In the annotations section, it would be helpful to include an image of the page, rather than only showing the page reference, font color, and date.

Una maña he estado para redactar un trabajo. Se me cierra la aplicación y desaparece TODO lo que he hecho. Es una basura y mierda de Apple. NO DESCARGUÉIS SEMEJANTE MOJÓN QUE NO ES CAPAZ DE GUARDAR AL MOMENTO.
