## Flow Reviews in South Africa

### ***** "Lindy"
I love Flow!  I use is to illustrate EVERYTHING. All day!  I use it to help me make sense of my world!
-- Middlemannetjie, 2024-09-16

### *---- "Keeps crashing"
Keeps crashing and deleting my notes.
-- willwright717, 2022-09-22

### ***** "Please add layers"
Please add layers. Otherwise it’s perfect. Gorgeous.
-- Musaed_A, 2022-07-09

### *---- "No membership=No app"
I can’t use the app if I do not pay🧐
But it looks like an amazing app
-- Royal.Mozz, 2021-03-01

### *---- "Money"
Why cant it just be free?or even just limited without paying because incan jow do nothing
-- Gwen DJvA, 2021-02-14

### ****- "I’ve finally subscribed to this amazing app"
I am updating my original review (see below). I have just bit the bullet and gone subscription with Flow. Reason? There is no better writing experience on the iPad than this app. It truly feels like I’m writing in a physical notebook. It is beautiful. And the team at Moleskine have just updated the app to Flow 2. They have made some great new additions and the fact that they are continuing to update and add new features makes me feel like it is worth it. Two features I’d love to see in a future version: 1. Ability to search documents for specific text; 2. Ability, only as an option, to convert handwritten text to typed text. I use the app for taking notes, but then have to retype in order to add the notes into other documents etc. Apart from that, amazing. 4.5 Stars. Its very close to perfect.

Original review: It is so intuitive and perfect for note taking. It outshines GoodNotes and Notability in its usability and user friendliness... by far. I really love it. Works amazing with Apple Pencil. But... I would have given it 5 stars had it not been for the fact that it is subscription based. I understand why the developers have gone with the subscription model (they have to sustain their business... and eat too), but I so wish there was a “buy outright” / cheaper monthly option available. It’s expensive compared to the competition. I’ll probably stop using it due to the ongoing costs involved (I’m using the free trial). Something needs to be done regarding the subscription based model in this industry. It is unsustainable. People only have so much to give on a monthly basis. But regardless, well done to the developers for creating a stunning app. I’m sure you will do well with the customers that can afford it.
-- HappyPiglet, 2020-10-21

### *---- "Free but useless"
Looks like a great app, but for something you can download free, it would be nice to try it out without immediately paying for a subscription
-- Anon-Nonny, 2020-09-14

### ***** "Nice .... but"
This app has to have at the least 1000 colours, you can change each colour!
I think they should have more brushes though , there are about 8 or 9 , but considering all the colours , they would go nice with many tools ..... I love it !!!
-- K a i t l y n :), 2020-03-03

### ***-- "Great but feels slow"
Great app but it feels slower than other apps when I draw with my Apple Pencil on my iPad 6th gen.
-- Nushssiaram, 2019-12-05

### ****- "Love the app, would love some added features"
Absolutely love the app. It is my go to app on my ipad pro. A few things that would be awesome

 I would love to actually be able to copy an image/pdf into a notebook an be able to draw and scribble over it, and have the option to leave it there or erase it from the background?

Have the ability sort my pens based on certain notes

Be able to copy a pen line/thickness and colour from notes made (copy properties of an element and use it to match)

Be able to add timeframes to be able to navigate to certain notes quickly.

Flow by moleskin will be the only app I ever have to use if these features could be added.

Keep up the great work!!!
