Amazingly tactile and well made app.

I am constantly on the search for the app that will finally click and become my end all be all brain/sketchbook/notes app, but somehow they just never stick. This app is the closest I have found that works for me. The overall design is clean and each notebook is customizable to your taste, and the way the notebooks themselves work absolutely tickles my millennial brain. Zooming in and out of notebooks, and swiping to turn pages just feels lovely and interactive. All of the tools work well and somehow get improved with every update. I’ve been communicating with the developer over the summer and not only is he super nice and responsive, he’s very receptive to ideas for the app. This app is what paper by 53 might have become if it had been actively developed as opposed to sold over and over again. I look forward to using this app for years to come and would recommend everyone with an ipad download and give this app a try.

So much potential!

This would be a great alternative to the similar popular app that’s just highway robbery. Unfortunately the text tool is sooo frustrating to use because it rarely detects when I’m trying to write with the pencil. And the cursor will randomly move to the top of the paragraph while I’m writing, disconnecting the sentence and placing words onto already completed sentences. More pen and pencil types would be necessary for me to purchase the full version of the app, and if the eraser would erase whole objects or at least have an actual large size. I love the tactile feel of it, but the lack of certain features is holding it back slightly.

Response from developer

Thank you for such a detailed review, and for the kind words about how it feels to write. You found a real bug with the text tool. When writing with Apple Pencil, each word was sometimes treated as a paste, which sent the cursor back to the start of the paragraph. That is why your words landed inside sentences you had already finished. It is fixed in the next update. For handwriting in the text box, please make sure Scribble is on in Settings > Apple Pencil, and start writing inside the box. We are also improving how reliably it picks up the Pencil. An object eraser, a larger eraser size and more pen and pencil types are all on our list. Thank you for telling us what would make the difference for you. If anything else feels off, we would love to hear it at support.note@perenne.app.

Started hopeful

The amount of features that it boasted in the tutorial was impressive and had very high expectations. I have used the app for less than five minutes in hopes that the 5* review was honest, this app is extremely laggy to the point of being unusable. I also have an annoyance with apps *saying* that they’re free but is useless because of a hidden paywall.

Response from developer

Thank you for the honest feedback, and I’m sorry the first experience was a frustrating one. The lag you’re describing isn’t normal, the app shouldn’t be unusable, so something specific is going wrong on your setup and I’d genuinely like to fix it. If you can tell me which iPad model you’re on, it would help me track it down. A lot of performance issues come down to a specific device or iPadOS combination I can then reproduce and patch. On the pricing: the base app is free with 6 pages, and that’s meant to be a real trial, not a teaser. The paid part is individual notebooks (one-time purchase) or a subscription if someone prefers. I hear you that it wasn’t clear enough up front, and that’s on me to communicate better, not something I want anyone feeling tricked by. If you’re open to giving it another shot once I understand the lag, write me directly, I read every message and I’d rather fix the problem than lose you over it

So far so good!

I have been looking for a replacement for another legacy app, this one is showing up good so far. Keeping fingers crossed.
Only needed the free version but went ahead and bought the notebooks because obviously they give you more bang for your buck
