Great except for one thing…
I decided to download this app Becuase I didn’t want to spend money on some stupid infinite zoom stuff and this had “infinitely scroll” or what it said in the title it did have it but only a little bit but except that this is amazing!
Love this app, especially love the simplicity and app icon.
Please make it so I can share pages across my devices!!!
One time purchase is so based
I just wanted an app I could do notepad writing and sketching in, that wouldn’t try to force me into some ridiculous subscription model. This is the type of app I love.
Love it
Love this app, especially love the simplicity and app icon. The only thing is, I can’t seem to sync my notes I write on iPad to my iPhone?
Delivers What Is Advertised — Personal Fave, But There’s Room For Improvement!
BlankBook may not be for everyone but it was a perfect fit for me.
This little app delivers exactly what it advertises—a distraction free blank page with basic writing tools and display customizations.
I was specifically on the hunt for a note-taking app that had natural-feeling handwriting.
I know that can be different for everyone, but I’d downloaded tons of top-rated, big-label apps (Notability, GoodNotes, even waited for iOS 16.2 so I could try Concepts) and all of them had weird, blobby feeling pens that felt unsteady and extra ‘bleedy’.
I did really like the pens and writing in OneNote, but my creativity and motivation was usually zapped within 10 mins after having to create a new notebook, new section, and finally a new page to draft some passages or jot down some ideas.
BlankBook’s handwriting feels very similar to OneNote with way less distraction!
Critiques
My only critiques have already been outlined in other reviews, but I wanted to list a few just as someone who loves the app and would love to see it improve.
-copy and pasting images
-zoom also scales page background (at least for lines and grids)
-Edit allows user to select multiple pages at once instead of just one at time to delete
Other Suggestions
-Grouping for pages (similar to Procreate’s ‘stacking’ feature)
Where Are My Notes?!
I thought this was an almost perfect simple to use app for collecting creative data. Those of which I have been building on for the past several months. Low and behold one day I go to open BlankBook and to my horror ALL MY NOTE WERE GONE!
I see a few folks have reached a similar fate. DON’t WASTE YOUR TIME w/ THIS APP. 1STAR for the joy I did have.
it's ok
The app is cool and intuitive don't get me wrong, I could sink a lot of time into using it but it wants me to pay 8$ and it doesn't even have an undo button.
There’s Potential, but..
There is something very buggy about the app that turned me off. I was using it a lot during the summer for planning and mapping out stuff (which was great because of the unlimited space) BUT! I took a break to focus more on my academics when the semester started. About maybe 3-4 months later after not using the app, it wouldn’t open and I wanted to access my work from the summer and the app would immediately close when trying to open. I left it at that for a week and tried again - same thing. Frustrated, I deleted the app and reinstalled it and of course there was no backup or save system integrated so I ended up losing everything. It was months worth of work and was excited to use it more and more, but the amount of progress and work that I lost was enough for me to never use the app again. I had also paid for the premium feature which technically was a waste of money for me, so that’s cool too. Gave the app two stars out of sheer generosity because there’s potential but it seems like the developer just gave up on the app so, I’d really give it a one star if being honest here.
Almost
I love the full screen writing, I wish I could bring in a pdf to use in the app.
