The calligraphy is awesome. I hate when it lags and that slows me down when I write notes. Sometimes it doesn't even respond to pen and what I write becomes scribble. I was thinking to buy the full version but I would like to convert my notes to PDF file and I want it to prove with some bugs. I suggest for everyone to wait until they update it and allows notes to be converted to PDF. I wish if it was like UPAD app on ipads.

I have been using notability app on the ipad for a few years, and when I made the switch to a windows tablet, a good annotation app was hard to find. WELL THIS APP IS THE FIX. It works incredibly well and similar to the notability app. I am really surprised the reviews have been negative. it has a free 2gig cloud service, sync's with my desktop, windows table and iPhone 6. AND ITS FREE!

Seriously. The worst pen lag ever.

This app would be ideal for me.. if it actually worked consistently.
I love that I can get signatures, then type the names in the next row - so much easier than trying to read crappy stylus writing.
It lags when ppl try to sign, which causes frustration with the population I serve... I'm willing to work around that what I can not deal with is the random inability to open files, the program not opening, saying files are corrupt, then they open fine later..
I would have been happy to pay for the upgraded version had this one worked consistently. Instead, I paid for a different program that doesn't have that wonderful dual typing/writing ability I want (or the handrest feature) but at least it seems to work more consistently. The saving is also pretty tedious and annoying - it'd be nice if there was an option to save directly to PDF. Still, workable & not a deal breaker. Wish it worked more consistently - could be great.

Really like everything about this app, however it crashes way too often. I was going to purchase the real version but am reluctant because of the crashing. Will purchase once this problem is resolved.

This is good for maybe making really quick notes in big letters. If you need to annotate documents, or take lecture notes using a stylus this is not the app for this.

Currently Foxit and Xodo is better for general PDF viewing and annotations.
This app does have more features and options for notes though but UI isn't easy to use.

I think the basic app is good enough, but if you are a professional user, I suggest you buy it. I am still contemplating!

This app is really fabulous. I like it... and it free.

The side by side note taking needs improvement ! Also the lag in the handwritten mode should be fixed ! Otherwise brilliant

I was very impressed by this app! I've been looking for an app that was similar to one note and this is GREAT! I love being able to organize everything in one space! Plus this app was the only one I found that would let me write my notes out instead of typing everything! Very impressed and very happy!

This app is my go to app for note taking as I can draw structures alongside my notes. However when handwriting, the app lags every about once every sentence and tries to compensate by placing a line from the beginning to the end of the stroke. This results in some letters coming out unreadable. It is fine until you want to write notes at a quick pace like during lectures. That is my only complaint as the type of notes I take require me to write them by hand. If this problem were fixed, I would have no problem giving it 4 stars.

I am still really disappointed, for some reason, this app is really choppy when zooming in and out on windows, and it is really hard to write on android, and that is slow. The only good place this app is is on the app store, but I have a better app for that, it is such a shame that you cant fix a simple bug- zooming out and in on pdfs is laggy and takes 8 seconds of waiting before I can even write. I know this isn't because the pdf file is too big or something because I tried the same pdf file on iOS, and it worked perfectly. I have a Lenovo ideapad yoga 13, and this laptop is fast enough that it could handle an app like this... its obviously not my laptop, and this gets really frustrating. I wish that some day some how you could just fix this simple problem already! Thanks for reading
