Sehr schlecht position von backspace

Nachdem update software ist so schlecht designed, backspace ist sehr weit weg und bei schnell schreiben dauert sehr lange bis man taste drückt, bitte gib möglichkeit interface coustum zu gestalten das man tools verschieben kann auf ganzes bildschirm

Response from developer

Es tut uns leid, dass dir das neue Design das schnelle Schreiben erschwert. Falls du Notewise auf einem Tablet im Querformat nutzt, kannst du die Position der Werkzeugleiste anpassen. Halte dafür den Indikator am Rand der Leiste einfach etwas länger gedrückt, bis er blau wird, und ziehe sie dann nach oben oder unten. Deinen Wunsch, die Werkzeuge völlig frei auf dem Bildschirm zu verteilen, nehmen wir als wichtiges Feedback für unsere weitere Planung mit auf.

O que tá bom ficou melhor

Já testei vários e só esse app me atendeu de forma abrangente

Ruined

Latest update changed the ui and completely ruined the app, I just tried to search for a job note to review what was done for the client and was unable to find it. I’m sure your AI is super sick but if I can’t even use the search function in the old capacity then this app is done for me.

Response from developer

I'm so sorry the recent update has made it harder to find your work. Search is such a vital part of staying organized, and it’s frustrating when you can't pull up a client note exactly when you need it. I'd love to look into why that note isn't showing up for you. Could you reach out to us at support@notewise.dev? If you can include your device model, app version, and a quick screen recording of what happens when you try to search, it'll help us get to the bottom of this for you.

Atualização desonesta

A atualização 4.0 foi muito desonesta! Consumi todos os meus créditos de IA do mês SEM SABER por conta dos novos recursos. A assinatura já é cara e ainda fazem isso.

Response from developer

We’re sorry for the frustration caused by the 4.0 update and the unexpected use of your AI credits. You can switch AI Notes to Manual mode to prevent them from automatically regenerating and consuming credits. Please contact us at support@notewise.dev with your account details, and our team will be happy to look into your AI usage and assist you from there.

There is scope for improvement
