### 2/5 — Some limitations

*2026-07-13, version 1.0.3*

Thanks for the app. On iPhone 16 pro. I can’t zoom out enough to see the whole drawing. The tools hide the menu items on the bottom and I can’t figure out how to hide them to access the menu.

### 4/5 — It just crash

*2025-05-24, version 1.0.3*

Please fix it.

### 4/5 — Won’t open

*2025-02-12, version 1.0.3*

This app worked great for me for years until now 2024

### 4/5 — Hope drawing can be saved next version,thanks

*2023-09-27, version 1.0.3*

Thx

### 2/5 — UGHHH HOW DO I ZOOM INFINITE

*2023-09-15, version 1.0.3*

Hey hello I can’t zoom in infinite! The bio says you can zoom in without no limits but I can only zoom at a certain amount. Please fix this!!!!

### 3/5 — Good but buggy

*2023-02-23, version 1.0.3*

Very good and simple app, but crashes constantly on startup, losing all saved work

### 3/5 — Good but could be better

*2022-04-01, version 1.0.3*

I really like this except for one thing - which is that you can't soon out far enough. it makes the view feel too constrained. If it wasn't for that, this would be my go to.

### 3/5 — Really buggy

*2022-03-13, version 1.0.3*

I really like the concept, especially with the great support for apple pencil. Its really similar to apple’s other apps but unfortunately its extremely buggy. It closes out randomly and takes 3, 4 times to open. The functions are also buggy

### 2/5 — Not good enough

*2021-12-07, version 1.0.3*

Canvas doesn’t extend up or left, zoom is extremely limited

### 3/5 — Highly constrained zoom

*2021-11-17, version 1.0.3*

The zoom is not infinite. It is severely limited.

I was looking for a replacement for the mischief app. Something with an infinite canvas and an INFINITE ZOOM.

### 3/5 — dark mode bug: white pen not visible when save as picture

*2021-09-21, version 1.0.3*

On dark mode the pen is automatically change into white colour with he canvas colour of black. When you try to save dark mode writing into picture, the black canvas will become white but white pen will not change colour so that the white pen writing will be invisible. Please fix this!

### 3/5 — Great app, but a bit buggy

*2021-06-14, version 1.0.3*

I downloaded this app to use as scratch paper while studying for my licensure exams to work out math problems. I love how easy it is to use with my Apple Pencil and the color selections, however the app crashes frequently which often erases some of the last work I wrote down. Besides this bug, the app works great for taking notes.

### 2/5 — Constantly crashes on launch

*2021-04-28, version 1.0.3*

App crashes on launch 2/3 times its launched. Also app isn’t infinite canvas, its just a temporary sketch pad.

### 4/5 — Handy ad-free app but multitasking fix needed.

*2021-04-28, version 1.0.3*

Handy app. No annoying pop up ads or trackers. One problem - the delete prompt does not respond when in multitasking mode. If that could be rectified it would be 5 stars. Thanks

### 2/5 — Wish it could save

*2021-04-23, version 1.0.3*

I used this to do section editing for my school newspaper. I finished the assignment and tried to send it to myself. It didn't same my work. It's frustrating when you put in all that work to have all your work disappear.

### 1/5 — Bad

*2025-10-29, version 1.0.3*

Can’t zoom

### 1/5 — Judy

*2025-01-24, version 1.0.3*

Where did all my notes go?

### 1/5 — Zoom out option please

*2024-12-28, version 1.0.3*

Very minimalistic and serves it's purpose but it would be more useful if you could zoom out and scroll upwards.

### 1/5 — Zoom yeah right

*2024-08-21, version 1.0.3*

So I was excited to get a lot of zoom but go to free form and you get more zoom and get white paper this app is crap so little utensils going to hate having this app beware this app is terrible for any users wanting to get it.

### 1/5 — Stupid color choice

*2024-03-08, version 1.0.3*

I just wasted 2 hours using this app. The background when drawing is black, not sure if it’s based off the dark preference on my iPad settings or they want to ruin what you’re trying to do, after 2 hours of drawing an equipment layout wiring diagram I go to save it and it changes the background to white. Every appliance shape was using white because black on black would make no sense at all and not be visible whatsoever. I can’t find any settings to make this change either one. It was now a complete wash as 70% of the lines were white.

### 1/5 — Not what it says

*2023-09-27, version 1.0.3*

As others mentioned… doesn’t do what description says re infinite canvas/zoom

### 1/5 — Not an infinite canvas

*2022-11-01, version 1.0.3*

This app is not an infinite canvas, To be honest, this app is basically Just the “notepad” app in iPad. I can not see any features what so ever, With Just a regular 3x zoom.

### 1/5 — Spent an hour drawing then it deleted

*2022-05-10, version 1.0.3*

Ok if you click the red “X” in the top right corner, it gives you the option to “delete” or “close window”. If delete is an option, then I would assume close window does not delete, but it does. Lost an hours work. Am I missing something?

### 1/5 — Useless

*2022-03-21, version 1.0.3*

I spent a lot of time making notes and after exporting, it turned white with no data. How to correct this? Please help

### 1/5 — Total crap

*2021-03-04, version 1.0.3*

Don’t know how this app gets high marks. I’m using it on an iPad Pro to make a very simple, one dimensional outline drawing of our deck. I’m also using just two colors one for the current deck layout and another color to show where we want modifications. No matter what I do it won’t save the final version. It keeps reverting to the first set of lines I drew and won’t save anything beyond that. I’ve re-drawn the additional lines four times and tried to save in every format offered. But every time I lose all the work I’ve done except for the first few lines drawn.

### 5/5 — Best App Ever

*2025-08-02, version 1.0.3*

I use this app as scratch paper while i’m doing my math homework or studying math. It’s perfect for me. I haven’t had any problems with it. It’s so simple and sleek that I prefer to use it over paper. It also reduces the amount of paper I waste. I think the only downside would be if you didn’t have a sort of pencil for ipad.

### 5/5 — The app preview said it all

*2024-06-01, version 1.0.3*

This app is pretty much a 'doodle on graph paper'.  If Notes were to have a grid mode, it would look like this app.  Simple and free, no ads, no pop ups, no reminders to upgrade to a paid version.  Thank you for developing this app.

### 5/5 — Quick and simple

*2023-04-20, version 1.0.3*

While Apple’s notes offers similar features, this app proves to be better in a couple ways.  Unlike Apple’s notes, you can zoom in while editing. Zooming in while drawing seems to be a large oversight in Apple’s notes that this app properly addresses and fixes. 

I appreciate that the app is simple; just open and scribble ideas, concepts, numbers, notes, or anything that you wish to visualize.

Please continue to develop beyond IOS 14.

### 5/5 — Simple like paper

*2022-01-08, version 1.0.3*

Love this app, it use Apple pencil kit so it has low latency, it can zoom in but the stroke size is preserved. 

Once you’re done just discard the note and it’s gone.

As the developer stated, it’s like paper but better.

For those times when you just need to sketch ideas this is ideal, no complications, just draw.

### 5/5 — Nice

*2021-06-09, version 1.0.3*

Please add double tap to undo, and single button to clear everything

### 5/5 — Perfect app for what you need

*2021-03-29, version 1.0.3*

I needed a quick scratchpaper app and this is perfect. Free no ads.

-Works with slideover
-Multitouch works (3-finger undo/redo)

### 5/5 — Excellent sketch app

*2021-02-21, version 1.0.3*

It’s simple to use, launches quickly, and it’s intuitive.

### 5/5 — Great app, tiny bug

*2020-11-21, version 1.0.3*

This is a wonderful app, easy to use, and free, I use it to jot down some quick ideas when I’m on the go as well as, well, scratch paper. The only bug is that when I export it from dark mode, the pen color doesn’t change with the background making all my writing invisible. If that was fixed this would be perfect!

### 5/5 — All I need

*2020-10-27, version 1.0.3*

This is the simplest whiteboard/scratch paper app. It’s just launch and write.

### 5/5 — Pretty solid and lightweight

*2020-08-22, version 1.0.2*

Very easy to use. It’s great to use as a whiteboard for practice problems and performs as advertised.

Bug: the reason why I’m giving 4/5 is because when I try to export my drawing while in dark mode, all I get is a blank image. It renders properly in light mode though.
