Amazing free app to write notes

This is truly remarkable and useful note app. I think the design is inspired from goodnotes. Try it out to see its potential.

Duplicate Button

Sometimes, when I’m writing a paragraph, I have to copy that paragraph, and then paste it. Can you guys add a “duplication” feature where it allows you to duplicate handwritten text or pictures without having to take two steps? Other than this app is an amazing note app. I will continue to use it but I just halve that small suggestion.

Response from developer

Thank you so much for your feedback! We already support duplication / copy functions in the app. To copy an entire note: tap the note name, then select Copy Note in the pop-up menu. To copy a single page: go to the thumbnail view, tap the page number to copy the whole page. You can also copy multiple pages in batch and paste them anywhere you want. To copy individual elements on the canvas: switch to the lasso tool, select the content you want to copy, choose Copy from the menu, then long-press anywhere on the canvas to paste. To copy text from a PDF: open the toolbox, enter viewing mode, then long-press the PDF text to copy it. If you have any further questions or need clarification, feel free to email us and we’ll be happy to assist you in detail.

Pen not showing

For some reason the stuff i write on my PDF files aren’t showing up when I try to share the file. I thought it was because I didn’t update the app, it even after it still isn’t showing up. Will change rated when fixed
