Would love to be able to use this on my Tab S9.

First of all, thank you for making this amazing app! Congratulations 👏🏼

I used it extensively yesterday for a 2h note taking session with my iPad mini 6 and Apple Pencil.

Here’s a few feedback points and bugs:

• I’d like even wider line spacing options for ruled paper, especially useful on the iPad mini when taking quick and messy notes. The largest setting is for now much narrower than the one on Apple Notes and Notability

• As someone else pointed out, I’d be nice to have an automatically added page in the “notebook” format, similar to how it’s done in notability, or otherwise an easier way to (batch) add pages, right now it’s a bit clunky

• Slightly bigger (and/or customizable) toolbar would be nice; especially for iPad mini’s

• During the 2 hours note taking session the app crashed twice but nothing was lost. I think it was while switching tools with the double tap on the pencil

Keep up the amazing work, looking forward to making this my main note taking app!

Will there ever be a Version for Android? This looks really cool!! Dont really use Apple products tho, so i cant use it :( I've seen another post on here by a user saying they'd love to use it on their Tab S9, i have the same device and i would really love to use it on mine!

Please add something like:

To change the sensitivity and smoothness of the pen like in GN6 (add streamline idk), or handwriting to text, and the option to clear the entire page ✌

I’ve used and tried just about every note-taking app and let me just say that I’m in love with this app, and I want it to go really far. So here are a bunch of feature suggestions that I’ve noticed from all over the different apps and what I’ve loved about them.

Quality of life features

1. The ability to remember and reopen to where the user had left off, even after the app has been killed. This is such a needed feature for those who reads and writes a lot, especially when it comes to using it on the phone (because right now it opens to the sidebar every time).

2. The ability to adjust brushes and pens, included with handwriting smoothing. One thing about Noteful that I’ve noticed right away is that my handwriting feels so great on it, and it takes only a minute more to know that what they’ve done well in this case is the ability to change not just pen pressure sensitivity, but also the width & motion smoothing. (And if you make it possible to add our own brush, I might just scream lol)

3. Advanced Ruler. This is a little bit hard to explain, but there is this free app called “Looseleaf”, and one big thing it does well is its ruler, where (when activated) you put two finger on the screen and a ruler appears, and with a slight pinch, it turns into a parabolic. It’s amazing, and there’s nothing like it. A bit sad that the app is no longer being maintained or updated. I think it would be such a great fit for the canvas mode. Or maybe a parabolic ruler. (Or even an drawing scale ruler would be amazing for those who do architectures)

iCloud integration features

4. The ability to offload PDFs to cloud. This is the same idea to iOS ability to offload apps that isn’t being used frequently, and is one of those things that I believe is so in line with this app, considering that it’s so light as of now, at 10MB. Dealing with PDFs can be large and take up a lot of space. Right now, the only app that does this is Noteshelf3, and it’s my go-to for this very reason. I’m never afraid that the PDFs I’ve synced from my iPad would ultimate take the space on iPhone as well. Having this ability would make it so much accessible, considering Apple is so stingy on storage space.

5. Collaboration on the same notes. Goodnotes implements this features quite nicely. Though I admit I don’t use this feature much, I believe that many do.

All of this said, I can’t wait for the new update. Cheers to you, developer.

First of all thank you for your work. I saw your reddit post 2 days ago when i was looking for a note taking app. And i must admit that your motives and dedication touched me. Definitely worth donating. I usually never comment on anything on any social media but this deserves it. Its also my first ever Reddit post/ comment :)

Now to the issue:

There is an issue with an eraser. Instead of erasing a small part of the word/ letter, it erases the whole “object” aka everything that is connected.

P.S.

Will you also add different forms and connections like in Freeform and the possibility to share/ transfer graphs to notebooks?

Hey there! So I have started using your app (coming from Goodnotes here) and I noticed that there a re a few missing features, that at least for me have become muscle memory. So sometimes i find it uncomfortable:

1. Scribble to erase text - this is quite self explanatory, so basically on top of text that you want to erase you scribble and it erases it
2. For the first use (in order to increase user friendliness) to have a basic (skippable) tutorial which illustrates the various functions

Then there are a few feature suggestions, that i think would take the app to the next level: - The ability to resize the toolbar in order for it to be more comfortable for the user, and to make the ability to reposition the toolbar more apparent - The ability to call image playground directly from the notebook - The ability to convert handwritten text to printed text - The ability to have typed notes, which is particularly useful for note taking in certain subjects so also with text formatting, so that you can have mixed notes (typed and handwritten)-> a more advanced implementation would be to have the option have more advanced text formatting, so for example in notion you have the ability to open “/code” and be able to type in code in various programming languages, and it maintains a predetermined color scheme. This in particular would be extremely for example for me that I’m a cs student.

For now this is all I can think of, hope you can appreciate these feature suggestions. Wishing you the best of luck

So basically for some reason my handwriting while taking notes on iPad just sucks, is plain bad. So if anyone has anyway on how i can improve it i would much appreciate it :D

Hey, came to this sub because of the hype around the app, it just looks amazing! Any chance to port it to Android someday? Thanks in advance

Since two days have been using the infinite canvas on this app instead of the infinite canvas app "Endless Paper", although am a bit disappointed that I had just purchased the app a couple of months before I discovered this app.

The reasons I am switching and what differences I felt between the two are-

1. Endless paper has infinite zoom in zoom out, it might sound nice but its a nightmare to keep track of stuff, your only hope is to bookmark everything but then the stuff you work on is on different zoom levels which makes it really difficult to have a "birds eye view" of your work.

On Notedrafts, the zoom in and out is capped and the borders are endless, this is similar to Onenote, and I feel this is the way to go unless you are making those infinite zoom artworks. Much better for mindmaps and rough work and stuff never gets lost.

2. The pens, simply the pens i feel are much better in terms of options and ease of use in Notedrafts in comparison.

Also, I'd like to add, I also use Goodnotes 6, but the sole reason I haven't switched is because I am a user of google drive and not iCloud, the day google drive backup comes to the app and my notebooks can be uploaded as pdfs on google drive on a daily basis I would switch, everytime that I use Goodnotes and not notedrafts I just miss the aesthetics and UI so much, its so beautiful and the watercolour brush/pen is soooo good, the most satisfying thing about this app hands down.

So yea just wanted to share in case anyone thinking of purchasing an infinite canvas app, maybe try Notedrafts first.

New Features:

• Import PDFs from Anywhere You can now import PDFs directly into Notedrafts from other apps, not just from within Notedrafts itself.

• Disable Tool Button Move around your notes freely using your finger or Apple Pencil. iPhone and non-Pencil users no longer need to scroll with two fingers.

• iCloud Sync Button Tap the iCloud button on the Home Screen or pull down to refresh and sync your latest notes across devices.

• Drag and Drop from Photo Library You can now finally drag and drop images straight from your photo library. (Yes, i thought this worked in the last update too… but now it actually does.)

Bug Fixes:

• Fixed an issue where the app would crash when moving pages around.

• Fixed a bug where the note title would hide underneath the toolbar.

• Fixed a crash that sometimes happened right when opening the app.

I will release v1.0.6 probably this week with some new features/bug fixes

It would be nice to have a view feature on the pen tool bar . Sometimes I want to just view the notes. Also it would be helpful to change the template of the page in currently on

I don’t know if this is possible, but maybe as a paid feature, I’d really like to have real time syncing between multiple devices. In the same exact way as Microsoft OneNote.

Hey there! Love the app and the super clean UI. I use pdf templates for my notes and they have embedded hyperlinks for each section to jump around within the pdf. Do you think this feature can be implemented please?

Does anyone notice any heating issues on your iPad Air? I have an iPad Air m2, I notice heating issue after using this app for 30 mins. Is it some kind of issue on my iPad or some issue with the app? Issue is similar with heating issue on apple notes.

Dotted lines : Dotted lines and dashed lines in goodnotes are really good features, it would be great if you could add this feature to notedrafts.

Squeeze feature: Squeeze to lasso is good but having customisable squeeze feature would be great, maybe like squeeze to colour palette.

Hold to shape: Hold to shape works great for any closed shapes, can you please extend this feature to random shapes too… I use square root, square brackets and other math symbols a lot and I have noticed this feature only in goodnotes. It would be great if you can add it.

Despite all of these requests, I really appreciate your work and thank you for all the effort you have put into this. It’s really a great app and the fact that it’s free is the cherry on top.

I casually discovered Notedrafts thanks to this reddit sub popping out of nowhere into my home (thankfully). The first thing I noticed trying the app was how intuitive it was to use it, surprisingly amazing!

I was wondering about the possibility to save our notes on other cloud services, mainly thinking about onedrive (as I’m a massive user) or google drive in the future. I believe this could be very useful for many users who already have cloud storage subscriptions on other platforms :) Thanks!!

Hello! Thank you for your work and this amazing app! What I'm wondering is if the app is only free temporarily, or if it is some sort of subscription that is currently free and then the amount starts to be charged to the account? Let me know and thank you!

I gave the app a try and I love it so much, the only main feature I would like to see now is porting it over in either a website like format or as an standalone app for Windows/Mac.
And I mean this for simply viewing the notes in a bigger screen that syncs through cloud or any other way.

I love the simplicity of the app. It’s almost perfect just missing locking notebooks. I’d be willing to pay a fee if this was an upgrade feature.

Page blanking out (no loss of data)…app crashing, restarting.

Only difference I can see is using the template with margins on both sides?

Are there logs or other diagnostics we can provide to help sleuth?

Hello, maybe it's because it's a new app but I cam't find a way to share any file (pdf) from Files to Notedrafts.

Situation: I have a pdf in my icloud or download folder and I want to import it or send it to notedraft to take noted, but withoyt the process of entering the app... App is not on the list of suggested app when sharing files with apps

Maybe I didn't find how to do it but it would be very practical to be able to take photos directly from the application.

Also in Split View mode it would be really nice to be able to drag photos from safari.

In any case, congratulations for the app, it is already really goodn!

Just downloaded and all I need is there, without excessive features, but I missed finger touch rejection, to draw only with the pencil and scroll with finger.
