What’s New
Version 1.4.18
- Fixed an issue where exporting a notebook immediately after an update sometimes failed to include the latest changes.
- iPadOS’s three-finger system gesture is no longer supported, as it may interfere with palm rejection. However, three-finger swipes for undo and redo are still available and can be enabled in Gesture Settings.
- Minor UI tweaks.
Ratings and Reviews
A very worthwhile purchase - I love it so much!
Thank you so much devs for creating a wonderful app! The one-time purchase is so much more worth it than the more expensive subscription that other apps ask for! Even the free version has a lot to offer-- this is such an insanely underrated app!! I make sure to recommend it to all my friends over goodn0tes or n0tability I love how customisable the UI toolbar is, and the pen stabiliser feature is the best! It makes my handwritten notes look so much neater
A few suggestions:
Please, please add an infinite canvas format! As someone that uses mindmaps to study this is a really important feature
The available page designs/formats are really limited compared to every other app. A community marketplace can be added for us to download pages designed by users
Make adding text easier. Could follow the text format of Apple Notes, where text is added separately and not as a textbox, to better combine handwritten and typed notes, since many people tend to use both note-taking methods
Thank you again for a great app! I hope the feedback of the users can be taken into account for future updates! <3
2 Improvements Suggestion
1. to allow option to be able to press “next” for pages (preferably also on the tools bar) instead of typing number on right hand corner
2. to allow option setting of not automatically centralised document pages as it’s hard to write on the edge side of the pages.
Thank you if you’re considering the suggestion and honestly this apps had almost everything i wanted for a note taking apps. Thank you for such wonderful creation and make it affordable.
Good
The app is definitely more productive and useful than other note taking applications I know since it does not constantly remind me to subscribe and the choice for using Noteful for free still has many things that can be applied. For example, the grid paper comes with many different sizes although things like the music templates are locked. This app is definitely recommended to y’all and it’s colours are very wonderful too!
