High Hopes - Huge Let Down!

I am an iPad, user and acid Apple calendar, and Goodnotes user as well. I was looking for a planner app that would sync with the calendar and yet allow handwriting and more artistic flare and notetaking to blend in a little better unfortunately, what I found was an application that was very unintuitive and no help screens that I could find and I could not even find the button to add an event to my calendar. When I went to write anything if I could even get it to write it lag terribly, and sometimes appeared to be putting it on the wrong line when I went to see if it synced it didn’t show up so there must’ve been a wagon sinking or something, but the app just seemed slow laggy. I’m not sure what but definitely not something that I’m ready to use.

Works until it doesn’t

The app is really great until it deletes all of your saved data. The calendar is really nice, I love the variety of notes, but this is the second time that it is deleted all of my note data. The first time, I had to create a whole new account and restore my purchase to get my subscription back. This time, only about half of my notes have returned, the other half are gone. I have reached out to the app support team on both occasions and heard nothing back. They clearly don’t care. Purchase a subscription at your own risk.

Reliability

Very often doesn’t synchronizes with cloud and you loose what you wrote

Great but Print would be nice

Have been using app for years. Love it. Only wish I could Share a Page or Print.

Keeps crashing.

I really wanted to like this app as it seemed just what I wanted. I have a brand new iPad Air, and this app crashes constantly.
