Was good

Useless Can Not Rearrange ANY Page. If you want to or need to reorder the pages you Can Not do that Any More. If by some miracle you still can IT IS NOT DONE THE SAME WAY!!! Yes, I’m extremely upset over this. You find an app that does what you want and you make a project or more only to have that pulled out from under you.

Glitching

Why is it glitching so much??????????

App keeps crashing

LordlyGiant2000 on

App crashes every time I try to add a pdf.

Not cool

What happened to pen book? It used to be a great app but now the functions don’t fit the screen, and when I tap on my notes they don’t show what I have written? What’s up with that?!!

cannot import or use PDFs

App crashes on import, regardless of size or number of pages. The notebook automatically deletes. Cannot import standalone PDFs either, from the main menu or the ... page. My ipad is not terribly old either, and this functionality worked fine in both Good Notes and Notability. It's a shame because otherwise the app is a joy to use.

Only one complaint ….

THIS NEEDS A LOCKING FUNCTION! And when you finally introduce it, please do not make it open by touch or Face ID and not the iPad lock code. It needs a separate lock password that can be used only for this journal app. Other than that this app is absolutely awesome! Thank you for creating it. I would also like to see a function where you can use a keyboard if you want so I can make notes on my other devices or the pencil isn’t handy. I love the versatility and all the options. Still worth five stars but the locking mechanism is really a MUST HAVE. Who creates a journaling app without that function? Oh! And I love that I could buy it rather than subscription only. It is sooooo worth the price.

Amazing

For once a quality mobile app without corporate greed inhibiting the great features. Best notes app ever. One thing: whenever I go to the “Labels” section of stickers it scrolls up and down really rapidly then crashes.

Wowowow

Scroll/zoom lock

persona3a on

Canada

This app, and every other note-taking/sketching app I’ve ever tried to use for sketching practice, suffer from the same flaw: the lack of a scroll/zoom lock! The lack of that feature means that ALL of these apps are EXTREMELY frustrating to use, because as soon as one or more of your fingers touch the screen, the image scrolls, zooms, or for added irritation, pans, making consistent effort near impossible!! Why, oh why is this problem never addressed? I’ve brought it up with other app developers and gotten exactly nowhere. Would some developer somewhere PLEASE, PLEASE take pity on wretched souls such as I, who want nothing more than a note-taking app in which one can BOTH write AND draw without being driven to the edge of insanity!! Is that too much to ask, hmmm?

👾Glitchy Book📕

Really great app!😄👏It’s just that when I want to make a book of lists I want to make,I title it”Lists”, and it logs me out of the app.(Like,I see my Home Screen)! I ask you, PLEASE fix this glitch because it’s getting on my nerves.😬
