FreeNote -Taking: Notes Writer App Reviews

How is this app not listed among the “top rated” ones like Flexcil and GoodNotes?! It works better than most of its competitors, has a slicker, easier UI, is faster, has more features, and has an actually functional free version that doesn’t constantly hound you to upgrade to “pro”. And not only that, the pro version is cheap and it’s not a subscription! I’m so sick of all the other simple note apps that charge monthly for what should be basic features. After hunting around the App Store for a c

Would’ve switched due to the cool pdf Split View features. However the app is lacking when it comes to the Apple Pencil and UI. Maybe next update things will be better

You will not be able to have any form of autonomy over your notes unless you buy it. I can’t share MY notes or create any new ones, I was not even able to edit them! If you have homework you need to submit and no budget for random apps… just like every other student ever, this app is the worst combination! I understand being greedy and asking for money every other second but some decency would be to let users at least share a copy of their own work. Why claim this is free in the first place?! Th

Works ok, but what is with all the updates? Don’t you test before releasing updates? How are there so many bugs all the time?

JUST downloaded the app as I have been trying to find an app to transfer my notes to as I like to customize all my stuff. I think i’d really like it but it’s very glitchy. if it weren’t constantly glitching i’d love it. i’ll wait to hopefully get an update to fix the glitching even though it looks like it was supposedly updated 6 days ago for glitching??

I’m looking to move away from Notability and came across this app. The UI is (mostly) great. Very native feeling and full of customization. I qualified the UI comment because I don’t understand how the locations work, and for some reason the tab bar is the one place the app isn’t native-feeling. Despite all the great parts, I cannot use this app because there is no option to vary the thickness of the pen, at least as far as I can tell. That is unfortunately a non-starter for me, but I hope to be

Updated Apr 23 Color issue fixed!! Great app for collecting notes, only issue that I have is the text font color selection chart does really match the colors when applied to the actual notes...

I use both the iPad and MacBook version. The choice of writing options, available templates, filing scheme, and the new AI assistant make this an incredible application. It is also a great value. I have 7 other note apps and have transitioned to NotesWriter Pro.

我需要一个界面旋转的功能。

It works where other apps fail. It has signature and text capabilities pdf editing

Thank you for adding the Arabic language, using the application has become more comfortable 🥺❤️❤️

Who decided moving the icons across the top needed to be done. The eraser now located between drawing icons. For someone used to locations just creates an issue. This is not an improvement. Gets worse, pick a color to draw and it displays a different color than shown in icon. Where is highlighter option? Next will be one star. Looking for replacement app. Update on update, Brought back missing option , layout as it was! Thanks!

This app has helped me so much!!! It’s easy to download anything I need and i can highlight/write/annotate anywhere on the document. I highly recommend!

The worst thing about this app is that it is not supports palm rejection.I prefer GoodNotes.

I have loved this app. Used it through college for note taking and some reading as well. Now the new version/update for the free version is ridiculous, basically forcing you to pay just to be able to use it. Will be looking for a new note taking app after years of using this.

Just downloaded and paid $5.99 for this app and when I want to add a text box to the pdf the whole app freezes! Now where is that refund button?

I used to use this for things that I would like to highlight and read for class. However, it’s now unable to read the text out loud. When you attempt to, it gives you coded text instead of the actual text. So it will read something like this for example “ 1 &41 05ĉ1>1:@ /;9<1:?-@5;: ?E?@19? 4-? 59<85” instead of giving you what it should state in proper English. It also would not allow you to copy text so can put it in a document like word. It will just give you the coding behind it like the a

You must set the feature to create a straight line or geometric shape with just a long press. I sent you several times, but there is no response

Why aren’t there any simple and flexible notes apps like Apple’s native notes? I don’t need flashy folders but I do need the ability to make outlines. Too bad Apple notes crashes so I need something else but what I don’t need is a mystery of what “pro” provides. I don’t know why you can’t explain it on the app description page and I don’t understand why Apple doesn’t require it. Nope- I get to jump in, figure out the app and then Surprise! find out I need to shell out $$.
