## CollaNote Reviews in South Africa

### ***** "Best note app!"
Awesome app! Had it for years and it does everything you could want. Very happy with it and would definitely recommend :).
-- Cari Apple, 2025-12-02

### ***** "Best handwriting note taking app for iPad"
I’ve used the app for school and university for 5 years now and nothing compares, simply the best, but wish they could incorporate apple reminders and calendar for when you are planning or taking down dates within the app
-- lhrvdl, 2025-10-15

### ****- "IOS 26 update has made app crashout"
The app is generally great to use but requires a new software update to keep up its compatibility with the new IOS update. The app will freeze and then crash when I open more than 2 files at once, at times not even saving the previous work I did. As a premium user of about 2 years, I expect timely updates.
-- Disa Mani, 2025-10-06

### ***** "Best app"
It is so easy to use ap, it is best for studying pdf, writing notes, drawing. I love it
-- Manana2002, 2025-08-25

### ****- "Only one irritation"
The app is great for note taking but it asks me about 5 times a day to get the premium version and is super frustrating.
-- Anonymous was taken:(, 2025-08-24

### ***** "It’s 5 stars but some additions I think will make app more valuable"
Firstly love the flawless writing, vast features, vast range of cover pages, style layout for pages, 

Though I do think: giving users option to change background colour for page opened, for me I’d prefer like a white to give it a clean look. 

And Second I think also having option to zoom out page and be able to see what’s on the page so, for example when I work on page it has to be zoomed it so I can see properly. 

And lastly I’m not sure if this option is there or not, but having option of having horizontal page layout to.
-- inidgo, 2025-08-23

### *---- "Horrible"
This app is torturing me as a non premium user, it keeps trying to get me to subscribe and has now gone to the extent of prompting apple pay whenever the dialogue pops up!!
-- Unnameduser2392, 2025-06-21

### ***** "Best app ever"
This is the best note taking app I’ve ever used. I love it so much. It’s simple and easy to use. It has all the tools you need to make beautiful notes. The team is also very helpful and responsive. 10/10.
-- Nisha228, 2025-03-14

### ****- "New Update"
I enjoy using CollaNote for school, it’s the best note taking app. I’m also enjoying the new update BUT why is the undo button there? It makes things less seamless when writing because the side panel takes away from writing space. Other than that, great app
-- A.mukelani, 2024-08-31

### ***** "Great note taking app"
Really easy to use 100% recommend
-- Lean3B, 2024-07-23
