## Review summary

ZoomNotes Lite is praised for its feature-rich toolkit and solid free offering, plus strong calendar integration for digital planning. However, users repeatedly report a poor UX/UI, stability issues (crashes, data loss), and problematic syncing that creates duplicates. Pen drawing glitches and occasional data loss further mar reliability. The app remains powerful for those who invest time to learn it and tolerate bugs, with some users benefiting from developer/community support.

### Pros

- Feature-rich toolset with notes, drawing, planning templates, and an infinite whiteboard
- Generous free version offering substantial functionality without immediate payment
- Strong digital planning capabilities with calendar integrations and cross‑device syncing
- Ongoing support from developers and a supportive user community when learning the app

### Cons

- Poor UX/UI with overlapping menus and clunky interactions
- Frequent crashes and stability problems leading to potential data loss
- Syncing issues causing cloud conflicts and duplicate documents
- Pen/drawing tool glitches (eraser mode toggling, stray lines/dots)
- Occasional data loss or notes disappearing after edits or conversions
