What's New in TypeDraw

1.9

November 7, 2026

Our biggest update yet! This time, it’s all about helping you make your book feel even more like your book. Every page can now have its own customizations, you can add a date stamp to a note, rename notes in “All Notes”, reorder your books, and finally choose from some new cover designs...with more coming soon.
 We’ve also made working with Apple Pencil a lot smoother by adding Enter and Undo buttons while you’re in Scribble mode. And with a new option to disable Scribble, you can start drawing the moment your pencil touches the display.
 We’ve reworked the “Create Custom Font” feature to make it more responsive, added support for more symbols, and included a button to remove a glyph if you’d like to start over later. In your font overview, your latest font now comes first, and you can delete old ones, too.
 And then there are thousands of little details we’ve worked on. Web and email addresses in your notes now become links you can open with a tap. Fonts you’ve installed with other apps can now be your handwriting. You can use the system font in “All Notes”. Dictating into a list keeps its dots and boxes, and markings and formatting now carry over when you copy your text. And much, much more. Oh, and bug fixes of course, so many of them, too. 
 And still, we’re just getting started.

Update: Entwickler haben schnell reagiert

Ich hatte die App ursprünglich für knapp 6 € gekauft und war sofort begeistert. Die wunderschöne Gestaltung, die liebevollen Details und insbesondere die verschiedenen Notizbuch-Designs machen die App für mich zu etwas Besonderem.

Nach einem Update war ich zunächst enttäuscht, da das bisherige Halloween-Cover nicht mehr verfügbar war. Die Entwickler haben jedoch innerhalb weniger Tage reagiert und das vermisste Design sowie weitere hinzugefügt. Dafür ein großes Lob! Es ist schön zu sehen, dass Feedback ernst genommen und so schnell umgesetzt wird.

Inzwischen ist die App wieder so, wie ich sie ursprünglich lieben gelernt habe. Mit zusätzlichen Funktionen wie der Möglichkeit, mehrere Notizbücher anzulegen.

Einen Verbesserungswunsch habe ich allerdings noch: Die Anzahl zusätzlicher Notizbücher ist begrenzt und jedes weitere Buch muss einzeln gekauft werden. Ich verstehe den Gedanken hinter diesem Finanzierungsmodell, finde die künstliche Begrenzung aber unnötig. Gerade eine App wie diese könnte von der Möglichkeit profitieren, beliebig viele Notizbücher anzulegen. Eine Option zum einmaligen Freischalten unbegrenzt vieler Bücher würde ich sehr begrüßen.

Das beeinflusst meine Bewertung allerdings nicht, denn beim ursprünglichen Kauf war ohnehin nur ein einzelnes Notizbuch vorgesehen. Die zusätzlichen Bücher sind somit eine optionale Erweiterung und kein Verlust bestehender Funktionen.

Insgesamt bin ich wieder sehr zufrieden mit der App. Besonders die liebevolle Gestaltung und die schnelle Reaktion der Entwickler verdienen Anerkennung. Ich freue mich darauf, wie sich die App weiterentwickelt!

Response from developer

Es freut uns, dass dir die App gefällt, und wir verstehen deine Frustration. Allerdings ist uns wichtig zu betonen, dass wir keine Funktionen entfernt haben. Mehrere Bücher sind komplett optional und wurden beim Kauf nicht versprochen. Für das eine Buch, das du mit der App gekauft hast, bleibt alles enthalten. Wir arbeiten Tag und Nacht daran, die App für alle, die sie gekauft haben, besser und größer zu machen. Funktionen, die du bisher genutzt hast, werden wir dir niemals wegnehmen (Das wäre wirklich enttäuschend). Falls du auf das Halloween-Cover anspielst: Das hatten wir unabhängig davon herausgenommen, weil Halloween vorbei war. Nach vielen Anfragen haben wir es im neuesten Update wieder hinzugefügt. Wir arbeiten wirklich extrem hart an dieser App und wollen unbedingt verhindern, dass wir den Kaufpreis erhöhen oder ein Abo einführen müssen. Deshalb haben wir uns für ein kostenpflichtiges Upgrade bei den optionalen zusätzlichen Büchern entschieden – nicht bei den bereits enthaltenen Funktionen deines Buches. Da uns deine Bewertung nach all dieser Arbeit doch sehr trifft, würden wir uns freuen, wenn du sie noch einmal überdenkst – vor allem nach dem neuesten Update, mit dem viele neue Designmöglichkeiten dazugekommen sind.

Perfect!

A simple idea nicely executed. The notebooks are perfect for a few short notes and I really like the fonts. Best of all, the developers seem cool and are working hard to make the app even better.

Good and getting better

It’s good, got a lot of potential, and they seem to keep updating to make it better. I love the feel of a permanent notebook, but digital. Also the security of it being on device and iCloud versus yet another 3rd party with access to content. And I don’t mind at all the idea of buying new books as we need them. Way better idea than subscription!

There’s still some bugs in syncing between iPad and iPhone (for handwritten notes). I mainly use it on the iPad, and when it syncs to the iPhone, the handwritten notes are all out of place, sometimes completely missing. It’s like it’s got a different page layout between the two and when I “cross the invisible border” with my notes on the iPad, those notes disappear on the other?? I don’t know. Hopefully this is addressed because otherwise it’s working nicely.

아날로그적인 감성이 너무 좋습니다.

모든게 마음에 드는데, 한글은 한글자씩 손글씨를 따긴 힘든 글자라, 기존 폰트를 쓰고 싶은 니즈가
있는데, 프로파일로 설치한 폰트가 폰트목록에 표시되지 않아 아쉽습니다. 딱딱한 기본 서체류만 사용 가능해요 ㅠㅠ

Latest update with $1.99 per book seems excessive

The app is great and though it’s missing a few features, it’s usable. Putting the extra books feature behind a $1.99 per book purchase seems very excessive. It’s great there’s no subscription and kudos to that but strong arming seems just as bad especially after paying for the app itself.

Response from developer

As the app grows and evolves, we want to keep it accessible without raising the App Store price or adding subscriptions. Given how much work we’re putting into it, I hope you can understand why we feel charging for optional extra notebooks is a fair solution. We’re not taking away any features, and we’ll keep improving the app to make your initial purchase more valuable. I understand that this decision has divided opinions. We’ve received both positive and negative feedback in equal measure, and it’s totally okay for us to see things differently. Otherwise, the world would be incredibly boring. Still, ratings like this hurt after all the days and nights we’ve spent working on the app. We’d really appreciate it if you could take a minute to reconsider. Thanks!
