**Please add the ability to change scroll direction.** I recently downloaded Notewise onto my Samsung tablet for digital planning & journaling purposes. I love the functionality and customization, but I have one major issue with it. You can only scroll endlessly in the vertical direction. Every other app I've tried (Goodnotes, Samsung Notes) you can change between vertical and horizontal scrolling. I would like to scroll through my notes like a book. Adding this feature would be 5 star!

Honestly the best productivity app ever! I was using MS Word for client notes and Google Drive for client docs. Notewise fixed that! There's no lag when marking up PDFs like there is in other apps. Additions I'd love to see: 1. Ability to copy folders. 2. Ability to insert calendar reminder. 3. Ability to save a PDF from my laptop directly to a specific Notewise folder, or ability to "print PDF" to Notewise. 4. Windows desktop app. 5. Ability to share specific folders with other Notewise-ers.

couldn't really see the functions in action without a purchase. once I purchased it I realized I can barely read it on my phone and constantly have to zoom in, zoom out, move over, zoom in, zoom out. it just won't work for me. request refund. I'll amend my review to 5 stars for customer support if that happens. customer service has done absolutely nothing to help me with this! I had this stupid app on my phone for less than 10 minutes and they refuse to refund my $20! they suck!
