seems great so far! I love that you can import just about ANYTHING into this! Templates, fonts, stickers, etc. Edit: I've used this for quite a while now and I absolutely love this note app. I wish they'd add different types of those crazy pens (like the metallic one, the dotted lines, the shadowed pen, etc) because I enjoy doodling like crazy when I'm making notes. I honestly use Noteshelf for everything. I can't complain about the pens when they pretty much have everything else to offer!

I loved it once, but I don't know why the zoom out feature on android stuck on 100% no matter what I do, It works on IOS but not Android... why can't I zoom out to 90 or 70%... I need the edges to be far from the tools for better view.. so annoying, also I can't switch between pencil and eraser by simply using the Stylus gestures... anyway I switched to Starnote 🤩..way better and cancelled my subscription to your pathetic app... it's 2026 do something about it... make it better 😒😒

the app is nice BUT I purchased it for the windows android cross platform sync. I paid for android version and windows version over $20 for both devices and guess what doesn't work... yep the android windows sync doesn't work. support from the developer is a link to FAQ which is inaccurate as well. so I don't appreciate that. also can not get refunds and that is making me feel ripped off. its a nice program for android but windows and android utilize different file formatting = no sync
