## Review summary

Users consistently praise the handwriting experience, input tools, and handwriting-to-text conversion, plus cross-device use. However, they repeatedly flag sync bugs and data conflicts across devices, pricing concerns and the paid-only model, stability issues, and gaps in organization and math support. These reliability, pricing, and feature-gap issues are the most mentioned drawbacks.

### Pros

- Excellent handwriting experience with a natural, fluid writing feel and strong recognition.
- High-quality writing tools (pencils and highlighters) and easy, intuitive note organization.
- Handwriting-to-text conversion (and math conversion) is effective and valuable.
- Cross-device usability across iPad, iPhone, and other devices enables work on the go.

### Cons

- Unreliable sync across devices with duplicated/conflicted notes, slow updates, and login issues.
- Pricing model is controversial: no free tier, perceived high cost, and debates over lifetime vs subscription.
- Buggy/unstable performance: frequent glitches, crashes, and unresponsive behavior.
- Limited organization features: lack of nested folders and hierarchy, and poor navigation/scrolling experience.
- Math/LaTeX conversion is limited and not robust for advanced use.
