REVIEW

I’ve been using this app for three years now and you’ve made enormous progress. To specify, you’ve added vast amount of new options to write and decorate notes, which are easy to use and practical. The addition of voice recording, “flash cards” and now typing option meets all student’s needs. On the other hand there is still some room for improvement, for instance the “flash cards” could be more unique by adding the options to separately select the card’s background color, preferably by color wheel. In addition to that, we should be able to change the order of already written cards just like we do with note pages. Overall, you’ve been doing an amazing job and I can surely say that you over amaze me with every new addition in this app. BEST NOTE TAKING APP, thank you.
Great for school but has missing features
Space0Code
I use it mostly for school (Computer Science and Mathematics BSc). I like it, most of the time it works as supposed and it has many useful features some other similar apps do not have (e.g. “infinite” subfolder depth, recording the lecture while writing). However, I would still add a few “natural” features. I list here those I can remember at the moment:- Most important to me: I would like to be able to share a whole folder in collaboration or for viewing. I like the fact that I can share a file via a link and others can always see the updated version of the file, but I could really use the feature where you can share a whole folder of files/other folders.- On the iPad I would add a feature that would let you drag and drop one document into another (right now, it let’s you do this but the document you dropped simply disappears, not actually appending to another document).- On Mac computer I would like to be able to delete a document by pressing “cmd+backspace”.- I would love if there was an option of differentiating between “global” and “local” bookmarks.- The Circle to Lasso option is missing on the Pencil, but I believe you are adding this soon, since Pencil is still quite new. I love the Pencil by the way.- Search sometimes doesn’t work as expected - sometimes it does not find the searched word in the document although, the word exists. (But still it works better than in Adobe Acrobat Reader)- Sometimes I miss the “hand tool” that would let you scroll/move with your pencil or mouse click on computer.
Blown away

I like taking notes and reading textbooks however I always struggle with keeping them in one place and having them in some order. I would often take notes and save them but a few weeks later I would spend a lot of time trying to find them. This is an amazing app that helps you keep order while taking notes and have them always available in one place. No more messiness with papers ! There are also a lot of other functions that the real world doesn’t offer eg. search function ( very useful ), in comparison the real world Ctrl-F function on your physical papers is very slow and highly unreliable.
