## Review summary

MetaMoji Note is praised for its deep, flexible note-taking capabilities, strong handwriting recognition (Mazec), PDF editing, and solid cloud-based organization across devices. However, it suffers from stability issues during photo use and after OS updates, and appears poorly updated for new hardware/OS versions, including lacking Apple Pencil support and multitasking. Improvements in ongoing updates and modern iPadOS features would address the main user frustrations while preserving its powerful feature set.

### Pros

- Very feature-rich note-taking with handwriting, typing, drawing, and flexible pages/templates.
- Reliable handwriting recognition (Mazec) with a wide range of pen options and easy switching.
- Strong PDF import, annotation, and editing capabilities.
- Robust organization system with folders, tagging, and cloud sync across devices.
- Cross-device parity; iPhone and iPad versions offer full features.

### Cons

- Crashes and instability during photo import and after iOS updates (potential data loss concerns).
- Outdated/under-maintained app with few updates over the years, leading to compatibility issues on newer iPadOS and lack of Apple Pencil support.
- Missing modern iPadOS features like multitasking/split-screen and iCloud sync; users are asking for these enhancements.
