Inkflow Plus Visual Notebook

There’s something about the way this app works which pleases me greatly. It’s satisfying. It has turned out to be very useful for quickly sketching a map, diagram or flowchart for someone. But I’ve also used it to doodle creatively, to explore stuff that’s on my mind.

I have tried many such apps but now settled on this one despite the high cost because it integrates well with other apps from the same developer and has numerous usability advantages. Would be nice and much better if Inkflow offered the calendar template option (as in Notesflow) and iCloud integration else it remains a good but expensive choice for iPhone.

Since you don’t want to publish my positive comments . I am withdrawing my rating

Purchased this app - wasted my money - seemed to work in the beginning (years ago) but now it’s just a blank page on which one can scribble and do nothing else. Save your money guys!

Just fantastic: easy to use, and so many wonderful features.

Bit disappointed after paying this app as there seems to be a glitch that results in a loss of progress.

I am finding myself using this more and more. It is really good, but could be great. Using it is becoming a ‘double edged sword’. I need a way to organised the note books, like a folder system - without it my iPad Pro 12.9” screen is filling up (which is a good thing as I am using it🙂) looking forward to the future updates - well done.

This is an app that reads well but is a huge disappointment. I cannot understand why these app developers don’t tell you the truth. Convoluted interface, No new page icon at top of page. No undo, but you do get erase last action (not the same) No next page unless you start from beginning again. Don’t like hidden menus. The selection of background designs is lamentable. I mean? Who uses grids? And lined paper? What about textures and coloured? No colour mixer. Can’t use Inkflow with coloured photos. No decent fonts. Only takes B&W very poor photo quality line-photos in inkflo mode. I personally think this app is misrepresented. Looks amazing description but turns out to be an amateurish app. With less than pro features. Extremely disappointed. My main gripe, is that it doesn't do inkflo on colour photos. Strangely enough the inkflow part would be useful to me as a kind of photo sketching aid. However, The app falls well below expectations. Mainly on grounds of the very poor inkflo photo clarity and not encompassing colour photo editing. In other words its impossible to edit colour photos, but you can edit the horrible black and white line drawings....which is what they turn out be. Not a very fulfilling experience at all. Unless of course I’m missing something obvious that remains hidden.

There’s loads about this app that I love - it’s really easy to use, it does things (or lets me do things) that really help me get organised in my work, and it’s like a publisher programme for a notebook. Amazing! One thing that would make the app even better is an undo button. It’s quite frustrating to only have the rubber for changes because you end up rubbing out stuff you didn’t want to because of the thickness of the rubber. This brings me to the reason for my 4-star review. I upgraded to inkflow plus because I wanted to be able to choose the thickness of my pen, but this function doesn’t work on my iPad Pro. Sometimes, just randomly, the pen will go really thick for a couple of letters, then go back to normal, but I can’t make the thickness change at all.

This app is great! I use it for teaching all my junior school maths lessons. The grid paper option makes it look just the same as the children’s books. My only wish is for a straight line ruler tool as when I draw shapes the lines are a bit wiggly.
