Ratings and reviews

I was looking for an app to plan and have notes for my new book, And I was gonna settle with just a normal notes app but THIS is amazing!! it's super visual, you can add images and texts and drawings to have a better visual for your notes, and it isn't just for writing or whatever. it's great for things like- planning a book, party, presentation, ect because you have All the visuals there! definitely recommend.

best app so far, literally the best app in my phone, i just feel safe when i open it, I feel safe that any weird thing i want my notes app to do as a multi language learner, this app will fulfill it, from drawing over the text to freely transforming the text shape, size and ratio and much more, it's just a really fun place to be in.

I have purchased so, so many annotation apps, and this is by far my favorite. It flawlessly syncs between my phone and tablet without any lag. The only downside I see is that it isn't available for computers. I have another app that is available for all 3 devices (laptop, tablet, phone), but it takes so long to sync and then it creates random backups and I'm never sure which one to keep. Please, please, please make this available for use on laptops.
