## Description

UltraNotes combines handwritten and typed notes, letting you create notes with covers and templates, use 10+ pens, draw shapes, and convert handwriting to text with Apple Pencil. It supports PDF annotation, image and file attachments, and exports to PDF or images.

The app offers rich text editing, templates (Resume, Essay, Shopping List, To-Do List, Weekly Planner, etc.), search across notes and PDFs, two-note multi-task on iPad/Mac, drag-and-drop between notes, presentation mode via AirPlay or HDMI, reminders, folders, and grid/list views. Notes sync via iCloud and backups to Google Drive, with optional lock via password or Face ID.

## Review summary

UltraNotes is praised for its simple interface, strong handwriting support, solid organization, and effective PDF annotation with cross-device syncing. However, reviews repeatedly cite export/import failures, Apple Pencil-induced zoom/scroll issues, occasional crashes with potential data loss, iCloud sync glitches, and navigation challenges with deep folder structures. Overall it’s a strong jotting/annotation tool, best for quick notes and handwriting-centric workflows, but users will want fixes and UX polish in the areas noted.

### Pros

- Simple and easy-to-use interface for quick notes
- Excellent handwriting support with Apple Pencil (natural pen feel for writing/drawing)
- Strong organization via categories/notebooks for easy categorization and finding notes
- Good PDF annotation and handling integrated with notes
- Cross-device syncing via iCloud works for many users with responsive developer support

### Cons

- Export/import reliability issues (exporting notes or PDFs can fail)
- Apple Pencil interaction problems (unwanted zoom/scroll when writing; need a zoom lock; drawing resizing limitations)
- Stability issues (crashes during search and occasional data loss)
- iCloud syncing glitches (sync problems, toggling iCloud helps sometimes)
- Navigation/organization could be improved for deep folder structures
