User Reviews

Element Note is widely praised for its superb handwriting experience, clean design, and deep customization, plus a one-time lifetime license. Users also value its ability to sync notes across devices. However, recurring issues temper enthusiasm: inconsistent cross-device syncing (deletions not syncing), a paid-tier gate with a three-note limit, stability problems and crashes, bugs and slow updates, and handwriting recognition quality that can lag or overly affect search results.

Pros

Excellent handwriting experience with a natural feel and solid pen/stabilization.
Beautiful, simple, and well-designed UI.
High customization options for papers, tools, and even the app icon.
Cross-device syncing makes notes accessible from anywhere.
Lifetime license offers great value.

Cons

Sync issues across devices (deletions not syncing; major inconsistencies).
Free tier limits: only three notes before paying.
Bugs and slow or infrequent updates.
Handwriting recognition quality could be better (inconsistent accuracy).
Stability issues and crashes (app closes during use; Mac app crashes with PDFs).

I love your app! Personally, I think it’s the best note-taking app for iPad. But could you please add an option to lock the zoom? It drives me crazy when I’m writing and the zoom suddenly changes. Other than that, I absolutely love the app.

I’ve tried this for the last few days and came here to buy it because I liked it so so much, and come to find out it’s free? That’s amazing. I very seldom buy apps but this one is certainly one I would’ve gladly paid for. ETA: Ok, free for up to 3 notes but still it’s only $3.50 a year! I love this app. I’ve been missing NotesPlus so so bad since Apple pulled it out. But this one replaces it just fine.
