Cannot exit 3 day trial from app

Trapped!

OK but…..

For some reason, when I try to import/ rename/ move a file it locks up my iPad. Sometimes, it will eventually do what you are asking it to do but it might take hours. Frustrating as it used to just take seconds. If it were to work again as it used to then it would be 5*. If there is a fix, please let me know.

It keeps on getting better!

A big THANK YOU to the developers for the recent updates… keep up the good work!

Amazing App

I’ve been using this app since version 1 on my iPad 3 and it just keeps getting better.

Love it frustrated

There are often glitches and I have to restart my iPad to get it to reset.

Great notes app and customer support

I’ve used NoteShelf for some time and find it excellent for all my note-taking at work. I recently purchased an iPhone Duo and messaged the support team about app optimization and a few bugs I found. They pushed multiple updates within days that addressed all of my concerns and has the app working great on the Duo. I’d highly recommend NoteShelf!

Increasingly less user friendly over time

I have loved this app for years, and use it daily. There is not another one like it. Unfortunately the user experience has declined tremendously with the introduction of floating menus and palettes which must be constantly moved around on the page in order to write or read. Formerly these were dropdown menus which stayed out of the way, but no longer. And with the update this morning, now those menus are in three different places on the screen, and cannot be moved at all, only minimized.

I cannot emphasize enough how annoying and disruptive this is to the use of the app. It has become needlessly complicated to do things like switch tools and clear the space for writing. I hate these changes, I am searching for another app to replace this one, which makes me sad because Noteshelf has been so good for so long.

Love

I love Noteshelf.

You fixed something that was not broken.

Up till Version 8.02, this was a great app. Now, it is totally unusable as an app. I used to be able to use it to quickly jot down notes whilst I was working n a project. Now, if you are not actively using the app, the notebook window refreshes automatically and does this every time if you are not using the app for a few minutes. For some reason the automatic zoom is set at 178%, so each time you have have to adjust the zoom to seeing the whole page and the overview panel on the Noteshelf page cannot be pinned, so you need an extra step to navigate to the notebook you want to open. I will definitely not upgrade any further when version 9 comes out. Just use Apple notes and scribble, much cheaper and easier.

Amazing note taking app!

I’ve used Noteability and Goodnotes up to this year, but have recently discovered Noteshelf. It is solid and dependable and offers features I actually use.

Glitchy

Glitchy, hard to use, poor quality, premium=too expencive, great app genre, guests need more abilities for creating notes.

Amazing!!

So far it is exactly what I was looking for

Amazing

I had an expensive note tablet and it doesn’t even compare to this app. Where’s this been all my life?

what’s going on?

Noteshelf was a reliable app. i always enjoyed using it and recommend to everyone. but time has changed and you introduced a bloating useless ai into the app, ok i could ignore. than you became a subscription app, i can’t recommend Noteshelf to anyone anymore. then you change the ui, i can’t use it. bye bye, Noteshelf.

Noteshelf operates on a freemium model offering basic features for free, with full functionality available via a one-time Premium purchase rather than a subscription. We hear your frustration regarding the interface and recent updates, and your feedback has been noted. Adele

Great app

I used Noteshelf 2 for ages, before upgrading to Noteshelf 3. It’s a great app, but is missing one tiny feature that is really annoying. On N2 you could look at documents in either landscape or portrait orientation on the iPhone and iPad. In N3 you can only view in portrait orientation on the iPhone. It’s just a tiny thing, but it’s SUPER annoying. I’m still using N2, so that I can use this feature. Please bring it back, even if it is an optional feature that can be turned on or off in settings.
Edit: they added landscape mode, it’s great! Thanks.
