Noteshelf 2 FAQ
Is Noteshelf 2 free?
Noteshelf 2 is not free (it costs 14.99), however it doesn't contain in-app purchases or subscriptions.
Is Noteshelf 2 legit?
🤔 The Noteshelf 2 app's quality is mixed. Some users are satisfied, while others report issues. Consider reading individual reviews for more context.
I love this app. I use it everyday to make detailed notes for work. However, lately I’ve noticed the app frequently freezes and subsequently crashes when I try to use the selecting tool. I’ve also had a LOT of trouble with cutting and pasting within the same document. The size of the text somehow changes between pages of the same template when cutting and pasting. It’s infuriating, and it really slows down my workflow. If these issues were to be fixed, the app would be a solid 5/5!
noteshelf
Noteshelf is my favourite note-taking app so far, aside from the wide variety of pen choices noteshelf has become my main note-taking space. I previously used the app notability which is also a great app for taking notes, but my main reasons for switching to noteshelf is the handwriting being noticeably smoother and less reactive to hand movements. Although, noteshelf could implement some additional features that would help improve the app even more and definitely support my decision of switching from notability. Firstly, adding a fill tool in order to fill in shapes with colour rather than having to draw in the colour, this tool would be extremely useful for taking efficient and effective notes whilst also being able to quickly draw up diagrams and using a fill shape tool rather than manually colouring in the shapes. Another useful feature that could be implemented may be a table making tool or when drawing shapes a tool that allows you to connect the lines or shapes drawn to one another making more time efficient notes, especially when it comes to having to include tables in my notes this feature would really improve the app in terms of efficiency for me personally. Another feature that could really improve the apps functionality could be a stabilisation slider for different pens, for me personally I like to have notes that are as neat as possible and i know many other perfectionists who feel a similar way, adding pen stability would improve handwriting and save time spent on rewriting specific notes due to the neatness. One more cool feature I could suggest implementing is a tool that allows users to save their drawings and keep them in a gallery as stickers. Saving drawings as stickers would really save the time I've spent on re-drawing certain symbols such as stars, bullet points etc. As well as being able to save drawings as stickers a final feature that could really add to the apps functionality overall could be a public gallery where people can share their designs and templates into a communal space and share and like each others creations as well as using them in personal note taking as well, I think by implementing this last feature the app could build its audience and create a community of users who are able to add to the app through sharing designs, stickers, templates, drawings, activities etc. Other than everything previously listed i personally think that noteshelf could be the best note-taking app/software available on the app store, by imp
Sync to devices
I love the Noteshelf software.
I just wish it would sync across devices.
I don’t mean back ups, I need to be able to access notes across phone, iPad and MacBook.
If it could do that it’s best on market.
my favorite digital writing tool
this app needs to blow up in popularity and im 100% sure it will if the devs keep working on it. the app is more optimized, easier to use, and the ui is super clean. lots of customization too!! only thing i’d add would be a folder to upload stickers. thanks ✨
Truly superb
Optimisations all over this. Very solid product. Trust it with 300 pages of maths in a single notebook. Syncs seamlessly to all your devices. Which mostly uses Apple’s magic if course but these devs use it. Used it for years, no screwups yet with upgrades.
Ok but lacking improvement
Good but vendor is lacking issuing features. Left goodnotes for this but thinking of heading back as they have continued to invest in the product. Really lacking in this app.
Avoid this app!
Documents that have been imported to the app disappear. They are visible on the thumbnail but cannot be viewed on the actual note, and therefore cannot be read. The page appears blank. I have reported this to Noteshelf’s support page one week ago, and have not even received a confirmation of receipt of email let alone an actual solution. I would strongly recommend that you consider another note app that is more reliable in terms of functioning and customer service.
Update: after waiting for a reply from customer service and only getting one following a critical review here, I am told that the information is not recoverable. This was attributed to the app crashing before the information was saved (although it had been saved for months), failure to sync with iCloud (had again been there for months before disappearing) or being overwritten by using another device simultaneously (I only use one device). I was told to back up data on a drive in the future. Clearly this app is unreliable. Data can be lost after apparently being saved to iCloud and you will not receive adequate assistance. My advice, choose a more reliable app
What’s not to love?
I’ve struggled with various note-taking apps over the years and wish I had found this one sooner. Someone somewhere said that this app is like Notability and GoodNotes combined. I agree, except it has a few more nice touches added in. The UI is fantastic. Smooth handwriting. Everything just works. So intuitive. If you are looking for a text only app then there are several better options. But if you are after a hybrid app that handles text, handrwriting, drawing, shapes, audio, etc … this is it. Stop looking and buy. Fantastic value for money. Kudos to the developers.

NEED MAC!
I just want to check my notes at anytime with my MacBook and this app is only for iPad and iPhone (you can’t even download this app in App Store under Big Sur).
I know there is a Mac version in App Store but I do not think I need to pay another $12.99 for just having a look of your notes on MacBooks!
Make the app also available for Mac please!
