Usability and performance
Waoda2
I could not help but write about how pleased I am with this app. It is the only one, so far, that matches my expectations for what an iPad note app should be amongst others that I have used. I particularly like the sleep timer functionality and the seamless page functionality that allows it to create continuous pages rather intuitively. These among others have the app my Goto note app. The maths and text conversion tool are just brilliant to us, due to there accuracy and precise placement on page lines.I would like the following functionalities added to make it even more powerful:1. An auto function that will allow reversion back to pencil after the ‘eraser’ tool has been used. It will improve on speed.2. The capability to use the lasso tool to push down a whole section, without surrounding the section as is currently the case. I could do this with another note app I have.3. If at all possible, I would like to be able to scroll the pages with the app pencil, without first selecting the ‘hand’ tool.Great work from you guys, This is an update to my review of 3yrs earlier. I would like to thank the Team for implementing the ‘auto reversal function’ suggestion I put forward in my first review. Great work-it has made the app to be more of a joy to use. Thank you for listening.
Ease of use and performance

This is by far the best note-taking app available right now. The ease of use is impeccable, and synchronisation across multiple devices is genius, I write on my iPad and view it on my iPhone or MacBook whenever the need arises, no need to take my iPad with me everywhere. The templates are exceptional and kudos to everyone out there creating templates and making them available for us to download. Recommendation: I would love to see more pen tools, especially calligraphy pens. Thank you.
Work tool to have
