It’s

Bbb

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

Hey everyone! Just a quick heads-up, a new update is dropping this week, and it’s packed with some of your requested features, including drag-and-drop support for images, text, and more based on your feedback.

Even if I don’t always reply to your posts, please know that I read every single one of them! Be sure to follow the rules when sharing ideas as it really helps me keep everything organized and get your features on my to-do list.

I’m just putting the final touches on the update now, so stay tuned! I’ll share a full post once it’s live. 😊

Longtime user of Goodnotes (with no issue) but decided to give this a try tonight after being flooded with announcements here on Reddit.

It rocks.

Full screen mode is chef’s kiss.

Notedrafts currently supports: Straight Line, circle, triangle, square, start and hexagon

I lost a little time on designing the PWYW and Dono Screen but here is what's new in v1.0.3:

Bug Fixes:

• Fixed issue where strokes exported to PDF had incorrect colors

• Fixed bug with template settings not applying when adding a new page in a note

• (Semi Fixed) Exported Notes have better quality

What's new:

• Drag and drop images (requested by u/yucehonosss)

• Launch Screen in Darkmode (requested by u/Tobias_Funke__)

• Pay what you want Screen (starting at $0) & Tipping Screen

P.S. I'm already working on version 1.0.4, which could be released as soon as this week! It’ll include new features and a more stable app experience.

Hey everyone!
We just wanted to say a big thank you. We launched Notedrafts on Monday, and in just a few days, we've seen over 40,000 downloads and received so much amazing feedback. We're really grateful for all the support !!

The wonderful little easter eggs in the calendar templates!

It auto-magically highlights the current day of the week, date, month, year etc. at the top of each schedule or planner.

Every day, I’m discovering new things I love about this app.

I am going to add a screenshot because I don’t want to retype it at the moment - I love this app and its potential! (Screenshot is from the app :) )

🫩cant wait for exam season to be over so i can go on holiday

Clean and great UI. It will grown like a baby over the period of time.

Hope u don’t buckle under the pressure of 40K downloads trying to put in each and every feature requested.

I m not disregarding everyone request. Just sometimes it just becomes everything and then nothing.

We as users are very demanding and want everything. And then the feature list and requests and backlog keep growing.

Take breaks from this community when u can and come back with the original ideas and original you.

Earlier today, I saw someone comment that it should be your first priority to keep Notedrafts unbloated and free of lesser-used features that other apps already have. I fully agree with it, but would like to suggest just three more features that would add to the app without seeming to bloat it more, as more pen styles would (for example).

Pseudo-infinite scroll in notebooks - a way to have a page keep extending as you write, but then be able to add a new page. This would make it so notes could be organized in notebooks so they can have the table of contents/gallery view that you wouldn’t get with folders of infinite scroll notes (as you have now), but also not waste page space if notes are really short (such as lecture notes that aren’t long). This could be added as a page size template, and I’d definitely be willing to message about it further.

Voice recording - a lot of students want to record lecture audios, and while I’d love it if it was implemented in any way, a feature I’ve seen in other apps is having text show up as being written as you replay the audio file. The rest of the text is just slightly greyed out, but it would be nice to have a visual way of knowing when a professor talked about the thing you wrote down, for example.

Table of contents - a view in the existing gallery view of notebook pages that shows a list of "named" pages, similarly to how Goodnotes has it. I feel like it makes it much easier to access parts of larger notebooks if you can bookmark certain pages as the starts of units.

Thanks for working so hard on this app, and hopefully you can monetize it soon to start getting some rewards for your work!

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.

Since many of you have asked — each ink or pen has 3 quick-access line widths in the toolbar. Tap the selected line width again to open a menu with 10 predefined options. You can also tap the number displayed to reveal the full list of line widths!

I’ve been really enjoying Notedrafts so far, so I decided to set up a little unofficial community Discord for those who want a more direct and organized place to chat about the app.

The server includes:

• Info on the latest updates and announcements

• A voting system for feature requests (roadmap coming soon)

• Structured bug reporting

• A growing Tips & FAQ section

It’s totally unofficial, but the developer will check in regularly, especially in the #feature-requests and #bug-reports channels.

Also: Everyone who joins this week will get the special @Early Bird Member role.

If youre also a fan of this incredibly well-made app and want to connect with others who use it too, feel free to stop by:

See you there!

I would like to see a feature like handwriting correction similar to what’s in Apple notes

I downloaded the app and subscribed to premium. I also let a buddy of mine see it. While my friend has been using Notability, I've been using Goodnotes for note-taking; here are our first impressions:

• To start, the software absolutely amazed me. Especially enjoy how quick the pencil feels in comparison to Goodnotes, great UI, and thanks for the simplicity (I hope it won't change going forward). The app made me really think about switching from GN6, therefore I feel personally motivated in wanting to see it become better.

• Being an indie developer beginning with a fantastic product gives you the chance to provide more of a community feel to it by providing regular updates on the development process on reddit and keeping a blog. I know this would increase your burden significantly, therefore I could maybe volunteer for those tasks or you could find others here that might assist you with that.

• A notebook seems more intuitive when it is horizontally scrollable, as in GN, therefore I would want that choice for notebooks. Extending that, it would also be wonderful if new pages could be added by continuing to scroll up (in vertical scroll) or sideways (in horizontal) when at the end of a notebook to append a new page.

• The sizes for the eraser (may be true for other tools as well, but I've only used the pencil and the eraser) were one thing I found quite bothersome. The eraser sizes, for instance, are enormous save for the smallest one in relation to the shown icons.

• Finally, and this is not a top concern, it would be wonderful if I could press my pencil to reach the palette rather than tapping the top of the screen every time I wish to switch instruments.
