## Description

Inkflow Visual Notebook is a note-taking and brainstorming experience that mimics pen-and-paper writing.

## Review summary

Inkflow Visual Notebook is praised for its intuitive interface and a rich feature set that supports text and image insertion and adapts well to journaling, brainstorming, and project notes. Users repeatedly note ease of use and many options. However, recurring drawbacks include reliability problems like freezes and unsaved work, pricing/licensing headaches with Plus upgrades, and base-version limitations without a trial. Some also report color-tool crashes. Overall, strong potential but stability and licensing concerns limit it for some users.

- Intuitive and easy to use for jotting, doodling, and brainstorming.
- Rich feature set including text and image insertion.
- Very versatile for journaling, notes, scrapbooks, and project work.
- Abundant options and tools that let you tailor notebooks to your needs.

### Cons

- Reliability issues like freezing/crashing and unsaved work.
- Upgrade/licensing problems such as Plus purchases disappearing or requiring restoration.
- Base version is restricted and lacks a trial, making the $10 upgrade risky.
- Occasional performance quirks and instability (e.g., issues when changing pen color).
