Ratings and reviews

Excellent application. I strongly prefer to handwrite notes over typing, but can easily swap between the two. you can convert handwritting to text but you can search your handwritten notes for words without converting! The PDF input tool makes this so helpful for annotating slide packs or required readings. Only a couple of suggestions to make it even better: option for landscape page templates, and make it available on PCs (I am not going to buy a Samsung computer just for this)

Wasn't keen at first on the change of format with this latest update, but now I really like it. Not having to manually save eveytime I make any adjustments to a note, is a win for me. I also like that I can set the background colour.. having it as black, really makes the different text colours pop. The *ONLY* thing I don't like is that I can't set the default text colour. When pasting text from the clipboard, I have to manually select all text and adjust the colour.

Excellent App. Easy to use & pretty good when using voice to text. I'm a teacher & editor, I've been using it for a year or more, to create writing feedback and lesson ideas. I like how easy it is to organise notes using titles. Also, how it automatically saves notes when you exit. No Spanish dancing stallion here, it's a workhorse. It won't make you more attractive, rich or wise, but it will be there for you, day in and day out, doing what it's designed to do and doing it well.
