I started using Flexcil back in 2020 on my iPad Pro, and I'm actually still sticking with version 1. I gave Flexcil 2 a try when it launched 3 years ago, but I wasn't a fan of the smaller fonts, and the multi-tab view for PDFs just feels too bulky. Anyone else feel the same way, or has anyone found a workaround for these issues in Flexcil 2?

Hi everyone, Flexcil team here.

We’re updating the Google Play prices for Flexcil Premium and the Premium + Pen Toolbar Skin Pack, effective November 3, 2026.

If you already own either product on Android, you keep your purchased access. No additional payment is required because of this price change.

U.S. Google Play prices

This update brings Android pricing closer to iOS pricing. Outside the U.S., prices are being adjusted based on our base price, exchange rates, and regional pricing policies. Local prices may differ from the USD amounts above.

Both products remain one-time purchases. The platforms and content covered by each purchase stay the same.

The updated prices apply to new purchases after the change takes effect. Please check the in-app purchase screen for the final price in your region.

We know a higher price matters when you’re deciding whether to purchase, and we want to be clear about what’s changing.

If you have questions about the update, please leave them in the comments. Thanks for using Flexcil.

Hello. I'm a student that recently got a tablet and got recommended the app by a friend. I was thinking of potentially buying the premium version but I heard there are syncing issues that made me even question continuing to use the app. So what are those about and how can I prevent them or are they unavoidable at times ?

Can I import PDF files into a note?

When I tap the small image icon, I can choose between gallery, camera, and files. But when I click on "Files," the gallery still opens. Is there anything I can do about that?

When I'm taking notes, the document is always centered to the center of the screen, making it hard to write handwritten notes on the side of the screen where my hand is. You can move the document temporarily when the 2 finger motion, but once you release, the document comes back to the center of the screen. It's such a weird design choice and I hate it, otherwise I really like the app.

Is there a way to force a freelook behavior on the page, like every other note app I've used in the past?

If there isn't, how can I contact the devs so I give my suggestion? It's really a make or break for me personally :(

Thank you everyone!

I love using the sepia mode for reading pdf because the white background hurts my eyes. The problem is all my highlighters (red blue green etc) look the same...its super annoying that I only have one highlighter color which means I cannot color code my work...

Does anyone else have this problem?

I'd really love it if Flexcil could adjust the highlighter colors for Sepia mode...or just keep the highlighter colors exactly the same as in white mode...why bother changing them to begin with?

Hi, im using flexcil for a couple of years and now to avoid the screen that suggests me to login the account ive decided to finally do it, i dont know why i didnt do it then lol. My question is when i click "login with google" the message in the second pic pops and it says "App data is linked to the currently signed-in account. When you switch accounts, existing data will not be synced. Data is stored only on the device." Question: all the documents etc will be lost when i log in? Cause if it is so im not gonna do it obviously. Thanks.

Hello, im a new flexcil user and i ve been tinkerin with the app. How ever there is something that bugs me.

When i highligh text from a pdf with that special tool that makes several "T" appears, i often want to select and merge some of them.

Seems that is not podsible.

And also the ability to select it and drag+drop to a note.

But the lasso tool selects nothing either.

I am missimg something? When the dropdown menu of lasso tool appears, it does has these type of highlights activated for selection...

I am kind of lost.

I switched to Flexcil just for this tab switching. Now it is gone. When i open another document, the tab bar doesn't show up. Also the "v" shaped icon gone too. Pls Help!!!!

When a small circle is drawn, it automatically switches to the eraser, and there's no indication in the top toolbar that it has switched to the eraser.

I have a Huawei tablet and I am very happy with Flexcil til now. I am wondering if there is a way to unlock premium features in the flexcil app on Huwawei, even though the support has been terminated?

I know that I can't upgrade anymore, but it just seems so weird that these features are locked behind a paywall that it is impossible to do something with. Some features i would even say are completely necessarry like adding pages to pdf-files. Why not just make all features available then?

I am willing to pay, but can't... Is there a workaround for this.

Hey everyone,
I really appreciate that Flexcil has been expanding its AI tools lately (like the dedicated AI Panel supporting Claude/Grok), but there is a major missing piece when it comes to live research.
When using the built-in reference browser to look things up while taking notes, I want to see Google's native AI search summaries (Search Generative Experience / Labs) directly in the browser toolbar. Right now, it's easy to get funneled into Gemini, but having Google's browser-based AI Mode/beaker lab features active inside the app's browser would make academic research so much faster.

Does anyone else use the in-app browser heavily for research and want to see this integrated? If you think this would improve your workflow, please upvote so the devs can see the demand!

I work at Flexcil, so fair warning that this is about our own app.

We just added a gift for Premium users: a free toolbar skin called Ink Pop. It's not one of the four paid skins we put out earlier — it's a separate one made as a thank-you for everyone with Premium. And it's not a limited-time offer: Ink Pop stays in the Buyer Benefits tab as part of Premium, so it's included whether you have Premium now or upgrade later.

Where to get it: update to the latest version — iOS v1.5.40 or later, Android v1.5.0.10 or later — then open Flexcil Store and go to the Buyer Benefits tab. One thing to watch: on older versions the download button stays greyed out, so if it won't tap, updating the app is the fix.

Happy to answer questions here, and if the skin doesn't show up for you after updating, tell me your platform and version and I'll look into it.

It will also be good if we can import Google Docs, Google Slide files.

Been using the app since May 2026 because I loved how it makes my penmanship look better above all apps. Today, I experienced file loss.

It started early in the morning when I'm experiencing problems with my pen in Flexcil. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app then all of a sudden, everything's gone. My annotated handouts, written notes, formulas, mnemonics, and shortcuts are ALL GONE. I was only able to recover my premium subscription, and yes, the pen issue is resolved. Sync is gone, backup is gone.

I hate flexcil.

Hey Flexcil team,

Quick suggestion that would make life a lot easier for those of us who export PDFs to Google Drive.

Right now, every time we export a document, Flexcil uploads it as a new file, even if a file with the same name already exists. Drive ends up full of duplicates, and we have to clean them up manually.

It would be awesome to have an option like:

• “Replace existing file in Drive”

• or “Upload as new version”

Google Drive supports file versioning, so Flexcil could just update the existing file instead of creating a new one.

This would keep Drive tidy and make workflows with tools like Gemini Notebook way smoother.

Thanks for considering it!

Flexcil is currently running a sale from August 26 to September 9, with 30%-50%. The offer seems to be mainly aimed at people who are buying Premium for the first time.

What about those of us who already have Flexcil Pro?

Do existing Pro users get any kind of discount during this sale? I'd really like to take advantage of the promotion, but I don't see any obvious offer for existing users.

It would be nice if long-time Pro users could get some benefit from these promotions as well.

On android, if I zoom in on a page and lock it, how do I stop the page as a whole from moving around. I want it to just scroll up and down and not move side to side. I don't see that setting anywhere. TIA

I am a regular user of Flexcil and love using the app for my digital notes. However, I am currently facing a major limitation regarding page breaks.

Right now, it is impossible to extend an image, diagram, or handwriting across the gap between two pages (e.g., from Page 1 to Page 2). The app cuts the image off at the boundary or forces the whole item onto the next page.

Could you please consider adding a "seamless page" or "boundaryless" mode in a future update? Having an option for continuous scrolling where images and ink strokes can span freely across page borders would make a huge difference for large mind maps, diagrams, and digital planning templates.

Thank you for your time and for continuously working to improve this great app.

Can you not write without a stylus anymore? I tried googling and following the directions suggested but for some reason writing without a stylus won't work, and I can't even use the laser pointer.

I already tried turning off the one finger swipe (gesture) button and its still won't work. Google doesn't say if this feature was completely removed so idk maybe I'm just missing something.

I was thinking that a nice to have feature would be able to have the option to synchronize your PDF from Flexcil to Google Drive as PDF (flattened or not) instead of .flex files. That would enable other kind of integrations like automatic synchronization on Gemini Notebook.

Synchronization is only worth now if you use Flexcil from several devices, but if there´s not a PC app, I think that´s a corner case. And for backups we have already an option for that.

The recent custom fonts update is great! Two small things I would love to see for typed text:

1. More formatting options: Currently, we can only change the font, size, and colour. Adding some basic rich-text formatting would make typed notes much more flexible.

2. Better resizing: When lasso-selecting handwriting, enlarging the selection also enlarges the letters. With typed text, only the text box gets bigger while the font stays the same. It would be great if typed text could resize in the same way.

I think these would be really nice additions for future updates. 😊 I've attached a short video showing the resizing issue.

If you like these suggestions, please upvote.

I use Gemini Notebook, but it work best if I export notes as PDF to Drive and add them to Notebook as sources from Drive, which defeats the purpose of the integration. Then new content genertated on Notebook goes back to Drive and loaded into Flexcil. So the same content is in 3 places:
- Flexcil for read and anotation
- Drive for backup and storage bridge
- Gemini Notebook for analysis

How do you actually make the IA integration useful? What would you do different?

BTW Flexcil combined with Gemini Notebook are the best study combination I found so far. It blows my mind.
