I love this APP

Please make sure that it has the ability to sync between devices I cannot take the folders and notes I’ve made on my iPad on my iPhone and etc.. This also would be an amazing Mac app and it does have option for touch accommodations when using a keyboard.

advertised as free but it’s a monthly subscription

Is it impossible for free apps to exist now?

Promising if not for one big, easily fixable detail

Why, in a pencil app, do we have to make an extra input to select the pencil after opening a document? I assure you almost everyone wants to use the pencil not the keyboard in an app like this. This gets extremely annoying. We would like, at least, the option to set default selected tool of choice, to be already selected when opening a document.
