Notes Plus X

You note taking app is all-in-one, and I’ve been using it for a long time now, but this “X” version has a serious issue with keyboard: . When creating a new notebook and naming it the app crashes out. . When using the text mode while in a notebook and start typing the app crashes out. . Even when using the “magnifying glass” to search and start typing the app crashes out. I can not hide my disappointment, thoughI like your app, that’s why the 4*s, so please give this a priority in your next update, and keep up the good work.

Need some more templates, not the boring ones

I use Notes Plus almost daily when attending meetings and taking notes. It’s always had its issues but never experienced any major issues with Notes Plus. I upgraded to Notes Plus X and the experience has been totally different. I don’t understand how something that was so good can get upgraded to something so bad…. Files that were imported to X can’t be opened correctly. Even new notebooks don’t display the page lines. I wish there was a way to get my money back.

I don’t know if “handwriting engine” is the proper term, but you will be amazed at how the letters look like a fine flowing fountain pen. I see many reviews (mostly 2 years old) that call it glitchy. I’ve not experienced glitch in the new Notes Plus X. It did take a little getting used to to understand the file structure that was improved over the original notes plus. The app has seen several improvements that I appreciate. I would like to see an easier way to access/mark up/and save PDFs, but it is not my highest priority. I did use notability at one time, but they have gone the way of perpetual pay. I just don’t use any app enough to keep paying and paying each year. I know the perpetual pay proponents say it is to encourage and support app improvements, but my experience has been that most improvements are simply bug fixes. If an app truly gets improvements, roll out a new version and I’ll pay an upgrade cost. [end of diatribe!]

I love the app and it does everything I need, except the pages do not scroll sideways, like a notebook. Can you add an option for pages to scroll sideways?

I love this app for two main reasons: First of all, It’s difficult to write cleanly on an iPad no matter who you are, but handwriting in Notes Plus X is unparalleled. I’ve downloaded and tested every major iOS app for handwritten notes and none of the others are able to make my handwriting look so good. When you write, what you see is a slight improvement over what you actually wrote on the screen. It’s fantastic, especially when using the fountain pen tip. Second, this newer version’s user interface is well-designed and practical. Menus, folders, and tools are mostly where I would expect, and it makes it very easy to navigate and just get to writing. I use a 2nd gen Apple Pencil and this is my exclusive go-to app for note taking and marking up PDFs. It has been mostly glitch-free and stable on my iPad Pro, so don’t worry about old reviews that might be referencing problems that have been long since solved. The only thing I’ve noticed is that I have to be sure I go out of my document and let it sync up before swiping the app away. That seems to prevent any loss of data.

This app is the best handwriting app, period. You experience the joy of handwriting as in no other app. BUT: lately - which is to say, the last few days, after I hadn’t touched it in a few weeks, I am writing for awhile and then LOSING EVERYTHING I’VE DONE! Sometimes pages of work! This is beyond unacceptable! I can’t use it if I’m at all afraid of losing what I’ve done. And now that I’m into this ecosystem, it will be awkward to try to change to another system, and yet I HAVE to. Can you imagine if any other word processing app just randomly lost pages of your work? This needs to be fixed IMMEDIATELY or else I’ll have to go make do with some app that isn’t as fun but which actually SAVES MY WORK.

Please keep improving this beautiful application. Handwriting with the “ballpoint” tip works great. With Kindest Regards-BR

I have been using this app for a while with no issues and then over the last 3 months it will randomly not save and erases data. I sadly need to find a new app because I just can’t count on this app any longer.

I’ve been using this app since it was introduced. About a month ago it started failing to save. No change in configuration. Now I have to double check every time. About half the time it doesn’t. Really frustrating since I’m trying to keep a nutrition diary for a sick person.
