Really close but still missing some stuff
So I was originally looking for an app that utilize apple’s pencilkit and also allowed for zooming in which the default notes app is missing. This fixes the zoom issue and the handwriting is fluid and good paper options. However the problems with the app are pretty significant to switch me to fully going to this app and recommending it. 1. You can’t import PDFs just to mark up and keep in your folder, or at least I have not being able to figure it out. 2. You can’t double tap to Re-center the page like in every other notes app 3. No automatic straight line tool, but that may be an issue with pencil kit
United StatesThis app crashes
This app crashes when I try to create a note or open any previous notes, including the samples!
United StatesAlmost perfect
I love the application so far - the only thing keeping me from switching over from good notes is the lack of search feature! I would love to be able to search all notes (both handwritten and typed)!
United StatesNope!
Was looking for new productivity/notes/list app compatible with Apple Pencil and bought this. Turned out to be a stupid decision. Not sure if other ratings on here were paid for or done by bots or what but I strongly disagree with a 4.8 out of 5 rating. It’s so bad that I believe this is the first review on the app start I have ever written. That’s 10+ years of apps! Have been using for under 24 hours and about to delete. The work flow and bugs make it more frustrating than beneficial.
United StatesSuch a pleasant note-taking experience! 10/10
I love using Pencil Notes! It combines the best of Notability, Good Notes, and other high-end apps for a much better price. It’s straight-forward, well-thought out, and an absolute pleasure to use. A VERY nice bonus is that the developer is extremely responsive to suggestions, from everything I’ve seen. Don’t be surprised when Pencl Notes starts being mentioned along side Notability and Good Notes in the mainstream tech world. It’s that good! Shout out to Paperless X on YouTube for introducing me to Pencl Notes. Great find!
United StatesNew Update
So excited on the new update, many very welcome changes. Will update again after spending some time with it, but so far 5 stars for sure!
United StatesGreat Start!
Especially being such a new app, this is great! With it being a blend of notability and goodnotes, I can see that the future of this app could be amazing! Personal suggestions: - there’s occasional lag in the writing input (not quite as smooth as the native apple notes and notability yet but it’s getting there!) - voice recording - more shapes! (And hopefully better recognition!) - notability and procreate has this feature that when you draw a line and don’t lift your pen for a second, it registers as creating a straight line (procreate also has the feature that when u add an addition finger press without lifting the pen, it snaps to 0, 30, 45, 60 ,90 ... degrees which is amazing) - choice between switching to the pixel or stroke eraser - double tap to undo and triple tap to redo would make this feature even more of a streamlined experience - when zoomed in and using the ruler, there is a gap between the line created and where the ruler is that I wish was not there :( - brush pen(s)!! (If it can be like the procreate brush pen that would be amazing!)
