Horrified

I’ve been using this app for years & it crashed the other day and all of my notes are gone. All of my notes for all of my classes.

App not functional

hmd160463638 on

Canada

It used to be great but now the buttons are barely viable and I can’t create anything. I am thinking people shouldn’t be charged money for use until it is fixed. Until then it is really not worth it. Sorry for the bad review. It used to be a great app.

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

Canada

App crashes every time I try to add a pdf.

cannot import or use PDFs

theeyenigma on

Canada

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.
