On Samsung tablet with the S-pen: Cannot erase with the button on the pen. No pen mode only (a swipe with one finger draws a line). Cannot select page sizes.

Review summary
Users appreciate the app's accurate handwriting recognition, clean interface, and multi-language text recognition, making it useful for students and teachers. However, many encounter critical issues such as syncing failures that cause loss of notes, frequent crashes after updates, and missing key features like pen thickness adjustment, selection tools, and palm rejection. The app also lacks landscape mode support and is considered too basic compared to alternatives, with slow zoom and pan functionality detracting from usability.

- Syncing does not work properly and can result in lost notes.
- App crashes repeatedly on launch or startup after updates.
- Lacks essential features such as selection option, infinite pages, pen thickness adjustment, and palm rejection.
- No landscape mode or poor support for landscape viewing; zoom and pan features are slow and unnatural.
- Limited functionality compared to other note apps; lacks photo import, paper textures, typing options, and shape recognition.

Syncing does not work and lost hours of notes/homework because it does not let you export notes that are not synced so when you try to sync the file gets lost to a state from days ago. Do NOT use to take important notes or anything you plan on keeping.
Password reset repeatedly doesn't work! Clicking reset on mail yes received 4 reset fails 2 reach any 'page'! Wrote this above longtime ago! & here I am again. Thought 2give your app another try. Has some positive elements. Just wasted almost an hour. Worked on decent drawing of havdala spicebox used 2 take leave of Sabbath at its close. Now I've lost the drawing! Bcuz forgot password & AGAIN as last time met demands 2 set new 1 & bang"Wrong" when it was 4sureright. 4giveme but Shame!
Doesn't sync. It's available on android and windows but doesn't sync cross platforms.
It's disappointing that you can't view your notes in landscape mode. Your only option is to zoom and pan, but, unfortunately, they made those features slow and unnatural.
I thought this worked across platform. Not for me. I have it installed on my PC and my mobile, however, not able to view work from one to the other.
Good all around app, it recognize your hand writing, but the layout on the screen, just doesn't look that good. My opinion only.
Google apps say's it doesn't collect data LOL it collects everything even stuff that's not related to this app
Excellent app Here are few missing features 1. Selection option is not there 2. Infinite page option is not there(atleast merge pages option shall be there) 3. Typing option is not there 4. Shape recognition is not there 5. Can't share in notes format(have to convert to non editable format) 6. Can't copy paste from one page to another
Dumber than Bamboo paper. Lesser pens. No photo import. No paper texture selection. Slow responsiveness. I had paid for Bamboo Paper add-ons. I really liked it but this app is just not up to the mark.
