Lovely

cristal_lit3 on

Love the app, worth the money!

A terrific writing app

Abnabnahsjahsjahajans on

One of the best out there!

Best all in one sketch/journal/photos app

kathmandu04 on

Had this app on my phone for quite a while thinking it was mainly a sketch app. After looking for a dream journal app, and not finding any that worked well and would allow you to mix text, scalable photos, objects and sketch all in one. I tried this app and wow, it is GREAT for that. So I had this dream about a beluga whale jumping out of the water into my arms and the two of us walking around a seaside town with him asking to go into a shop or hang out in a park. Within this app using its text feature I wrote down the dream. Then I went on the Internet and found some photos of beluga whales that I saved to camera roll and added them into this journal entry. I then sketched a stick figure holding a little whale. The whole funky looking journal entry is able to be emailed as a PDF plus it supports exports to Dropbox, iCloud and more. It rocks!

Great app....but

MikeManXDS on

This my go to app for writing with my Apple Pencil. Love how the app performs. Just one complaint. Maybe I overlooked it but their is no way to create a password for Books like my personal journal. Seems like an obvious feature. I'd like to rate this app with 4.5 stars but can't so I gave it 4 stars.

Good, but more colors

LilyGG46 on

I want a better variety of colors! That's literally it! Just make like a more colors option, plz! But other than that, it's a great app

left-handers?

g3423 on

Great app----except please allow for notes to switch sides for page notes. When it's updated for us left-handers, this will be a 5 star app.

Neat app

n4uau on

This is a neat app. You can do so much with it. With the large expansion capability you can write hidden messages. I wrote a whole message inside one square on the graph paper. It does all it claims. The seller responded quickly to a question I had. Nice to have such good support!

Nice, but...

Battery hog on iOS 10 beta. I looked at it for 5 minutes, and it used 5% of my battery usage for the 24 hour period. Not good! May be just the beta, but still...

Wonderful!

WhatzHizFace on

This tool has everything and is so easy to use. I'm not a friend of the developer, I'm just a very impressed user.

Feature rich handwriting and text note taking

Makhanhi on

Really like its interaction with iOS Pasteboard. Very nice UI, continuous pages and dual page mode. Almost infinite zoom in editing and freely mixing sketching, text and images makes it fun to use. Ability to rotate canvas would be a nice addition #when added in a future update.
