Noteflow Digital Notebook

Exactly what I was looking for shocked me that it is free thank you so much to the inventor of this app you should be proud

I want to buy the Plus version as I have used Inkflow Plus happily for years. Nearly jumped straight in with the £15 purchase, but glad I decided to test the free version of Noteflow first, as I discovered the pop-up palette won't pop up, rendering the app virtually useless on my iPad. I have quite an old iPad (mini 3) but it has the latest OS installed so there shouldn't be a problem.

wtaf?? I have Noteflow and I paid for Noteflow+ and I get 30-60 sec into a document and it says “File remotely deleted??? Is this a joke??? I’m using this in a professional context and my colleagues are literally looking at me right now as though I’m an idiot!!

Good job

Steve or scam artists on my files and you were not entered as PDFs but suddenly a year or two later they’re PDF files and now they want 1499 for me to be able to get them out they’re holding my files hostage they want to be laws against that they probably are these people are criminals don’t trust them with any of your files

Dumb

Seems to be portrait only. Zooming out loses all the screen real estate.

Seems ok but no matter how many times I tapped, double-tapped or triple-tapped the pencil icon, I could not get the palette to appear. Is this a feature you have to pay for?

I’m a huge fan of Qrayon and own many of the products; their apps tend to be intuitive and functional in a way most others just aren’t—and I’ve tried a lot of notebook, notecard, etc. apps! I used Inkflow for a long time; I fell out of the digital notebooks for awhile and came back to them again recently, so naturally I opened Inkflow—which was just as great as I remembered, until it started failing to save, losing data if I didn’t close out the notebook when I went to another app, getting stuck on zoomed in mode, and just generally being kind of laggy. I was trying to use the notebook to take notes about information on another app, so this was the epitome of frustrating. I went to the Qrayon website in search of help, but was distracted in my quest by the discovery of Noteflow, which in many ways seem to me to be the newer, better version of Inkflow, so I tried the free version and was sold pretty quickly. It’s functional, easy to use, but with powerful features; it doesn’t have a problem if I move between apps, and it has a lot of awesome new features, like the side-by-side option, importing calendars, and dragging and dropping information from other apps— I’m super excited to play with this! However, I was also quite disappointed by the absence of some of my favorite Inflow features, particularly custom stationary and the eye dropper on the pen color window, and would really like to see these added. The custom stationary simply makes my life easy—I don’t get confused about which notebook I’m in, and there are studies supporting the idea that different colors help the brain retain information better (I have found that neons help me most, and those options aren’t available in the presets!) I also tend to color code, and the eye dropper just made that so easy. There is one other feature I’d like to suggest: being able to change the size of the eraser! It’s fairly annoying to me to have to zoom in every time I want to erase a mark or word, but not the things next to it! Having tried most of the notebook apps out there, this one is head and shoulders above the rest, and I’ll recommend it to anyone who asks. It’s biggest strength is it’s simplicity—you don’t have to spend forever trying to figure out how the buttons work. It’s easy to use, it’s super versatile, and is still a very powerful app with lots of features. That is a very hard thing to find in any productivity app, so major kudos to the Qrayon team for cracking that code!

You can’t really try much out in the free version, most of everything is disabled — and to get any real functionality, YOU HAVE TO PAY $14! ... yes, $14 gone before you even know if it is worth the $14. • The zoom is choppy and doesn’t always pick up that you are using two fingers, so it will become annoying very soon. • ZERO OPTION TO RESIZE THE PEN. • One, too-small ink pen is all you get. NO pencil. • There doesn’t seem to be a highlighter (at least not in the top tool bar. It wasn’t fun to use at all, so I closed it perhaps before I found it?) • No native browsing of your notebooks in the UI, just takes you to the “Files” app. Ugly. Deleting.
