Ratings and reviews

To use open with, we need a file explorer, I'm taking about sharing link / URL /copied text /notes etc, with android built in Share Function it is very easy, & if we can't import from one note that's OK, but option to import/export basic file types is must, like json, csv, md, txt etc (this will help a lot). Good Luck 🍀..

Clean, simple layout and great features. Works well with basic stylus. The documentation is a little sparse, making some elements more confusing to figure out than they need to be, but the overall design is so good that it's still pretty easy to get the hang of, and the developer was very responsive to my questions. Being able to use it on desktop and web as well as Android is very convenient. This has everything I'd been looking for in an infinite canvas app.

Thank you for this app. I hope to contribute in translating it in the future. I've been using it for my college notes with only the core package and the features it provides me out of the box are sufficient. However, for now, even the stable version is quite unstable, so I've been keeping backups of all my notes (though it freezes for me when I try exporting as svg, which is a pity for now.). It gets very laggy and might crash when notes get big. - device: Galaxy s6 tab I'll keep using it daily!
