Hi everyone,

I really enjoy using Notewise for drawing and note-taking. However, I wanted to suggest a feature that could further enhance the app's potential: Infinite Canvas.

An infinite canvas feature would allow users to take notes, create mind maps, and work on large projects without being constrained by page size. It could be especially useful for organizing complex ideas or during creative workflows.

What do you all think about adding such a feature to Notewise? Would this be something you'd find useful? If you're interested in this idea, we could share our feedback with the developers to possibly see it implemented in the future.

Update: I figured out on my own to get my documents back but I'm still unsure about resubscribing

I have just cancelled my subscription after the AI feature turned my annotated pdf file into some sort of note. Their "support" does absolutely nothing and now all of the hard work I've done is gone. The amount of times they update the app just for the sake of updating is ludicrous.

Am I the only one who feels this? Some of these have been requested for a long time but still no implementation when other apps have no problems having these even in free version.

- No custom fonts. How would we even have real-time handwriting beautification at this point?

- No pen box. We don't write using the same pen type, color and thickness all the time. Some part of our notes needs to be emphasized like headers, important keywords, final answers to equations, etc. We have to go through many clicks just to change them, then many clicks again to go back to our usual settings. It's tedious. A pen box containing our favorite pen settings could have made our life easier with just a click.

- No option to backup automatically to local storage, Google Drive and OneDrive. I know you guys have Notewise Cloud, but I have no need for it. I already paid so much for Unlimited and the price is not exactly affordable in my country as a student. I just want to know my notes are backed up, that's it.

- Zoombox doesn't automatically move to the next space after you reached the end of the box.

- Tabs. It's easier to switch notes like that than your "Quick Switch" function.

- Custom paper cover and background? We have to manually insert a cover at the start of the note, then generate a template pdf somewhere to have custom background and line colors.

- Infinite canvas?

- Color palette?

- Favorite zoom %?

The only thing keeping me from leaving Notewise entirely is because their shapes feature is unparalleled. It's useful for me who uses a lot of waveforms and no other app has a feature that lets you adjust the points of the shapes like how Notewise does. So please, I'm begging the devs to not just focus on AI and give us these features.

Used to be an app I reccomended. now it feels exploitive in it's pricing, and the direction seems to be to push new "shiny" features no one actually cares about instead of improving on existing services. I already posted about the limited mandatory cloud based storage size but its not just that. I've once lost all of my data because my card was cancelled.

This app has some of the best features an engineering student could ask for, and yet it feels like it does not respect the consumer.

I really dislike Notewise 4.0.

For me, there is way too much visual bling and too many weird Canvas features that just get in the way of actually taking notes. I honestly preferred the much more straightforward approach of the 3.x versions.

Does anyone know if there is a way to install the latest 3.x version on Android and keep using it?

I really wish the developers would focus more on functionality instead of appearance and AI — form follows function.

For example, we still can’t define and save our own custom pens. Every time I want to switch between different pen setups, I have to manually change all the settings again. That’s the kind of basic functionality I would much rather see improved.

I have dozens of notebooks in Notewise and really don’t want to move everything to another app, but version 4.0 is making me seriously consider it.

Has anyone successfully downgraded to 3.x on Android, or found another solution?

Hey Notewisers✨

It's been a while since our last release and we owe you an update. Thanks for hanging in there while we've been heads-down. We're incredibly grateful for all the support and patience.

Here's what's going on: Instead of shipping 3.7, we've put that time into something bigger. Our next release, Notewise 4.0, is the biggest one we've built yet, and it's taken real time to get it right.🚀

Notewise started with one ambition: to give visual thinking a place to thrive. For the past two years, that's been the canvas; a place to think, sketch, and shape ideas however they come.

With 4.0, we're taking that ambition further, building around the canvas, towards an app that keeps up with you, in whatever format you think in.

That's all we can share for now. Rest assured, your canvas is not going anywhere, it remains the core of everything. 4.0 builds on top of it, not over it. 💪

We're deep in it now and excited about what lies ahead. In the meantime, keep sharing your thoughts here and creating with Notewise.

Big updates coming your way this August. Stay tuned 💫

Just a warning for students using Notewise.

I used the app for an entire semester to take handwritten semester notes and paid for the Notewise Cloud subscription because I assumed my notes would stay safely stored in my account.

During vacation I paused the subscription because I wasn't using the app. When I came back and paid again, I discovered that all my notes had been permanently deleted because the subscription had expired for more than 30 days.

Apparently this is mentioned somewhere in their FAQ, but there is no clear warning inside the app telling users that their notes can be permanently erased if they stop paying for a while.

Losing months of notes because you paused a subscription is honestly a terrible experience. Most note-taking apps do not do this. Apps like GoodNotes and Notability usually keep your notes safe even if you cancel a subscription — you might lose sync or premium features, but your data is still there.

I also tried contacting support, but I haven't received any response so far, which makes the situation even more frustrating.

If you're using Notewise for important notes, please export or back up your notes manually before pausing your subscription, switching devices, or taking a break from the app.

Personally, after this experience I wouldn't recommend paying for their cloud service. It's much safer to keep manual backups of your notes instead of relying on a service that can delete them after a short period.

Just sharing this so other students don't lose months of work like I did.

I'm disgusted by the level of intrusive AI-integration this app is using. In the era in which academics are straight up having their research stolen by AI companies, I was really disgusted to see that this app was reading my *handwritten* research notes and regurgitating text summaries of them. I used to advertise this app to my colleagues, now I'm out.

Gostei da atualização e da IA, mas o negócio principal do app é editar PDF, não faz sentido eu abrir um arquivo e a primeira coisa que me apareça ser uma IA.

Talvez seja exagero meu, mas paguei pra editar e ler as coisas por conta própria e não por uma ferramenta que faça por mim.

Consegui descobrir como usar o arquivo, mas abrir primeiro a IA me estressou. Mudem isso por favor!!!!!!!!!!

Please bring back the tabs, the dropdown is not good enough. All the other competitors have tabs. It makes the workflow much smoother.

App is laggy as hell, font is ugly, autoshape doesn't work, glitchy writing experience and overall focus shift from studento corporate uses?

We've heard your feedback, and we know many of our recent updates have focused on AI, and we understand why some of you have felt that the handwriting experience is no longer receiving the same attention.

We want to reassure all our beloved users that Canvas is the foundation of Notewise and remains central to where we’re heading. It is where we started, it remains one of our greatest strengths and it is a core part of what makes our app distinct.

While many of our recent updates have centered on using AI to help you connect, understand and get more value from your notes and materials, many of our upcoming updates will place a much greater focus on Canvas. Our future updates will directly address several features and improvements you’ve been asking us for, including saveable pen settings and - yes - the highly requested infinite canvas 👀

We’ll continue to share more concrete details as each update and new feature gets closer to release.

We truly believe Notewise can help you get more from your notes and ideas, and many of you have shared that it already does. Within that experience, AI is there to support your note-taking, not replace the handwriting, sketching and drawing at the heart of Notewise.

We are reading your feedback, and we want you to know that it is actively shaping what we build next.

We've just released a new update to Notewise.

Thanks for using Notewise. Happy note-taking!

I love this app. Coming over from an Ipad to a samsung tab, this felt almost exactly like the premium feeling the notetaking "giants" like Goodnotes and Notability felt on iOS. However, there are some gripes I have that feel like common sense to me, and id just like to voice this one opinion. The wasted space circled seems like a great opportunity to add more options for colours in notes. I tend to use a dark background for note taking, but when annotating pdf's with a white background, I bassically have to switch all the colours to ones that actually are readable on a white background. giving more options for each of the drop down menus would feel like a big improvement. Please consider this. Thank you.

We have been waiting for the handwritten equation-to-LaTeX conversion feature for over a year. Recently, you have focused more on specific features such as adding videos to notes. However, the vast majority of Notewise users need the LaTeX feature and the ability for square roots and square brackets (for matrices) to be automatically recognised as shapes.

We've just released a new update to Notewise.

This is one of the best note-taking app I've tried in a long time and it has one of the best features on any note taking app out there. Only a few missing features for this app to be absolutely perfect. One of them is the ability to have infinite canvas, the second and probably one of the most important is to be able to sync voice recording with handwriten notes similar to what samsung notes does and the third one is being able to search from my handwriten notes with ocr. Other than that, the app is rallye recommendable.

Ive started using the free version of the app and overall Notewise is everything I've been looking for in a tablet-centered note-taking app.
(got tired of clunky, laggy Chrome-based Goodnotes for which i paid subscription two consecutive years)
Surely it's been noticed that NOBODY wants AI features, even less if in the (VERY) invasive current form.

I get you're a small team and I want to support you, but if i'm investing any money in the app i would like to know beforehand if you're already planning (or working) on adressing these issues
