Love the app. Really want to give it five stars but the sync function just not working between my Android phone and tablet, so I have to pick on one, my tablet to focus my input. The app has been apparently choosing what to backup to Google Drive. Uninstall/Reinstall isn't the answer. Again love the app 4.5 stars ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ 1/2⭐

Solid note taking app with pen support. It was good to see this has a one-time payment option to get notes and syncing working. I do think improvements to the syncing is needed, as well as more support than just Google Drive. In the future, I'd really like to be able to properly access my synced notes over on a Windows PC, which currently isn't possible. That or a web version that can access notes. But great overall potential and I'm excited to see where the app goes.

BE WARNED: NO Sync Feature. This is a really great note taking app, BUT I bought the android version because I was in a pinch and didn't have my tablet on me. Unfortunately, I am unable to sync between my phone and tablet, which is the only reason I bought the app again, and Google won't give me a refund. While I would strongly suggest this app, especially for visual learners who incorporate drawings in their notes, the lack of auto sync is really unfortunate and hampers a great app.
