Do not download for work use

I am disgusted that this app has not responded to anyone with bad reviews only the DEFINITE paid reviews. I had notes and leads for work that I spent hours typing in this terrible note system. I opened it not even 3 days later and all the notes I wrote were gone. The “Shelves” were still named what I had originally named them but there was zero of my notes in there. Hours of lost leads and notes from work. If I could I would leave a 0/5. Fix the app or delete it. Horrible. Do not listen to this paid reviews about how “great and everything they need in a notepad” it is nothing you’d want for writing notes other than disorganized buggy and deletes your data with zero way of recovery. Uninstalled. Never downloading again. Awful experience, especially the customer service that only responds to the paid reviews and ignores the reviews on bugs. Once again 0/5. Id rather use carrier pigeons to write and bring my notes home with.

Love /hate

I absolutely love this app, but it definitely has its faults
For one it doesn’t have an undo button so if you accidentally erase that page it’s over you can never get it back

The bulleting point numbering and letter option definitely does not work all the time. I created a guest list one time and it started the guest list over three times in numbering.
Also, I wish that this could be connected to Google for an extra back up hard drive everything that I do on the app on my phone doesn’t always back up to my iPad automatically vice versa

I’m trying to add another notebook but is doesn’t seem to work!

I’m learning about immigration from all over the world and why the migrated there. I also just started a new unit, so I tried to make a new notebook. I tried at least 50 times and it did nothing. Not sure what happened, I thought it was the Wi-Fi, but no. I’ve refreshed multiple times, maybe it wasn’t loading. Still no. If you can fix this, that would be great (especially since state tests are coming up).

don't ever download

i got this to use for my college classes but i can't even get on it . whenever I try to get on the app it will actually get on it for a second then it will disappear. It always say loading issue ( even though i have no internet trouble or spotty wifi or internet ) then it will all the sudden click off all the sudden . It has been 2 months since i have downloaded it and still haven't been able to get on it at all . this is such a nuisance , don't ever download for your sake

So close

This is a great app and so close to perfection but what I want is a tool where you could draw that is what would put this app over the top for me.
