Feels great to use & responsive support service
The note taking experience feels very fluid and frictionless, with a variety of useful tools to utilize. I reported a few minor bugs and a problem with iCloud and the support team was able to help identify the problem and propose solutions & notify the development team quite quickly. The price is also much less than competitors like GoodNotes while still offering similar features and good quality. Hope the devs continue to improve the app & make it even better!
App crash all the time
Very disappointed with NS3. I never had problems with NS2, and since I upgraded to NS3 last night, my PDF notes are being duplicated and I can’t open any PSF note any more.
I’ll have to find another app now. Hopefully I’ll have my money back.
By far the best App for Note Taking
I have spent more than 40,000 hours taking notes and teaching using Noteshelf 2. Thus far, it is still the best app for note taking and annotation (emphasis on annotation).
I’ve paid for Notability and Goodnotes as well, constantly waiting for an opportunity to switch if either software is good enough. I’m still left waiting as Notability can’t even allow the sharing of two pages of notes in pdf format. Heck it doesn’t even show the links to the table of contents for electronic documents (wake up Notability).
Great app
Was teaching using Noteshelf 2 for years and was very satisfied with it.
I was disappointed with the fact that the favorites toolbar had disappeared in Noteshelf 3, so I stayed with 2. But I also contacted their support and the following week, the favorites were added to Noteshelf 3. So I will switch to the new version.
Great responsive support team and great app!
Recording icon
Thanks for the great app. The only thing that would be helpful to change is the size of the recording icon. It is too large in some pages and take a large space. If you can make the recording icon size modifiable, it would be great. Secondly, sometimes we need to move the recording to another page which is not supported. I hope you could add this option too.
Thanks
Can’t use highlighters
I can’t see highlighters on my custom dark templates, while highlighters are visible in the dark colour pages from Noteshelf’s store .
Suddenly crashes every few min on iPad
Been using 2 and now 3 for a long time, both paid. But after second to last update and not fixed with latest update as of review date, has started to crashes every few minutes on an iPad and so has become entirely useless and rather exceptionally frustrating for a tool requiring g reliability dozens of times per day. iPad reboots and even app reinstall action have not helped. Mechanism for direct feedback to developer is too hard to find, so posting here for immediate attention.
Still need some fixes…
I started using it and had some strange things happening with some tools. I still need to find out what happened and when…
Excellent App
I tried this latest version 3 and like it😊 I paid for the one time upgrade and use the Midnight Planner. However on custom template on Cornell I want to change the body colour to Pale Blue, but I am stuck with pre built black or cream. I should be able to change colour of the paper in pre built pages. Let me know. Thanks - Mohan
Really like it
I tried it after using GoodNotes 5 for 2 years. So far, I’m really enjoying Noteshelf 3. It has a simple and intuitive interface, offers a pleasant writing experience, and the AI functionality is super useful. I like to have the AI summarize some articles or chapters for me, so that I can later estimate how much time to spend on reading them in detail. Creating folders with documents is a bit less straightforward than in GoodNotes, but I just need some time to get used to it. Most importantly, Noteshelf doesn’t seem to drain my battery, not overheats my iPad (which was a problem with another app). Also, thanks for not making it a subscription based app.
