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!
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!
Still the best.
I’ve used Noteshelf since it first came to the App Store. It has the best most natural handwriting engine out of all the notebook app available and the developers continue adding great new features. Highly recommended.
Update: It’s been over 5 years now and still the best, nothing else comes close. All updates just keep making it better and the handwriting is still as smooth as ever.
Great and useful tool
Have been using Noteshelf since it was first on the market and never fails to impress. One of my top 2-3 apps. The PDF and not taking. It's like having a folder with 500 of your closest files each only 2-3 flicks away. And the writing tool and smoothness is satisfaction from the fountain pen. I use it only for business and personal noting and occasionally when I want to write my diary in handwriting, and can do so privately here. In landscape mode it is a great whiteboard on Teams and a sketch tool for draft powerpoints and when you want to handwrite a short letter. Can't say enough about how well this app has served me since at least ... 2011? Perhaps earlier. Highly recommended.
