Lots of crashing while recording audio
The previous version worked well , but this newer version crashes a lot on me when I record audio and take notes ... which results in losing my notes .. fortunately the audio seems to be there .. only not in combination with the notes ..
Unreliable
I have worked with this app for quite some time now, and I must say how pleased I was with this app in the past, now I find it very unreliable. I have lost quite a lot of data while drawing ( it doesn’t save my work) and when I close a notebook it didn’t save a mornings work. I’m going to try an other app for sketching.
Good app
I am very happy about that app. It realy is useful and it works perfectly on my ipad at least. I have no crashes whatsoever and all my data are saved automaticalls on endless papers for me to take continuous notes.
Crash
Crash crash crah
Better a Beta then this crap
Al mijn notities kwijt!
Van de een op de ander dag al mijn notities kwijt. Waardeloos. Was altijd tevreden over notes plus. Laatste jaar was het al traag en niet responsief. Nu een maand met Notes plus X, in de hoop dat er verbeteringen zijn, blijkt vandaag dat de notities van de afgelopen maand niet meer te openen zijn. Dat doet de deur dicht. Ik gebruik het niet meer
Apple pencil problems and hardly new fearures
This version is not much different from the previous one. Moreover writing with my Apple pencil results in a lot of hickups and mistakes. At this moment not worth the money.
Lousy functionality
In terms of performance much better than the previous version.
In terms of functionality way less than it was. Either functions I frequently use are not available anymore (e.g. export as a PDF file), or they are hidden. Are there no release notes?
What a waste of my money. I went back to the previous version and accept the lousy performance for now.
Eindelijk!
Ik gebruik Notes Plus al sinds jaar en dag en de app liep de laatste tijd hopeloos achter op de concurrentie. Ondanks de bugs en slowdowns ben ik de app blijven gebruiken, omdat mijns inziens het schrijven het beste "aanvoelt" tov alle andere bekende notitie-apps.
Met deze update doet Notes Plus weer mee! Moderne UI, geen bugs (tot nu toe) en het schrijven voelt nog steeds als vanouds. Importeren vanuit de vorige versie van Notes Plus ging overigens ook prima.
Eindelijk!
