### 1/5 — Misleading

*2019-04-30, version 1.1*

It looks it’s free or you can try it to see how it works out; but it gives you link to app cases and website for tablet accessories and no way you can try anything without buy it. They get higher downloaded number yet the least users and appreciation. Don’t download dishonest,

### 1/5 — UPDATE YOUR APP

*2019-02-27, version 1.1*

For real just update it. Make it more compatible for new phones, fix the bugs, add more things.

### 2/5 — I wish I could journal

*2019-02-03, version 1.1*

I cant get it to work. I am trying to journal and the letters don’t appear on the screen. I looked for customer service to contact someone but can only find links to purchase products.  I wish I could use it.

### 3/5 — No Apple Pencil support

*2018-10-13, version 1.1*

Good app for taking notes with keyboard, sad this doesn't support Apple Pencil notes even for simple strokes. Hope they implement this feature one day and I will reinstall and give 5 stars.

### 2/5 — i can’t add my personal pictures here

*2018-09-25, version 1.1*

that’s a big problem and it’s not easy to find deleted pages

### 2/5 — Needs A Free Trial

*2017-12-13, version 1.1*

This app needs a free trial period to be added to it. There’s no way to preview all the features and I’m not sure how well it suits my needs without it. I’ve been looking for a journaling app with covers that I could customize and that I could add images to. What I noticed in the limited version is it doesn’t have a way to change the text or the colors of the text, the page color and style can’t be changed either. Has some bugs the quill at the bottom of the page has options but when pressed nothing happens it’s blank. You can’t add pictures until you pay for the app so I’m not sure what options you have or how well it handles placing them on the pages. No voice recording option and no tags.

### 5/5 — New personal favorite

*2017-11-22, version 1.1*

I've tried a lot of journaling/notebook apps and this is easily the best of them for me. It's straightforward, got a good layout (especially the menu for font and whatnot on each page), and it's beautifully designed. I'll definitely be buying the rest of the covers and fonts. The only complaint I have is that when you touch the page you're brought right down to the bottom instead of where you touched and brought to the top when you close the keyboard so it kind of jumps around when you're on a longer page. But kudos! This is a great app. Well done.

### 1/5 — Very Disappointing

*2016-08-28, version 1.1*

After downloading this app this morning and paying $2.99 to unlock all the added features, I discovered that there are no added features, other than two other font types. There seems to be no other paper choices, no way to label notebooks, no way to see the notebooks together and no way to insert photographs within a notebook which would be useful and expected. Additionally, after additional features were "unlocked," I also discovered the notebook I had begun had vanished with all of its content. Refund please?

### 4/5 — Great App

*2016-07-26, version 1.1*

I write fan fiction and this is a great app for writing to go! I've written a whole 12 chapter story so far. The only reason I'm not giving it a full five stars is because I wish it had a word counter on it.

### 1/5 — Nope

*2015-08-02, version 1.1*

This app was good for a few weeks, now it's glitching, freezing, force closing the app. Nope. I wouldn't recommend it.
