Endless Paper vs Noteful

This intriguing app does an amazing thing, but it has some real limitations which prevent me from relying on it. On the plus side, it really is infinite, infinitely wide and also infinite zoom in both directions. And it seems stable. It has not crashed on me or lost my information yet. The new color selection, added recently, is a welcome addition! But what limitations! There is only the one file, which is the infinite canvas. You can’t close the file and start a new one. I understand that in theory you don’t need multiple files if you have infinite space inside your one file. But I’d like to be able to back up my work. For that reason, I’ve only played with this app, never used it for anything long term because I don’t feel secure against catastrophic data loss.

Cool concept and has some utility but in the end you can’t trust this app to retain important info (like your notes for work or school), and customer support is completely non-existent. To that end, this app is ultimately just a scribble toy and not worth paying any fee for it. I’d been using the app for a few months as a portable white board for work and had tons of notes in it. Then about a week ago the app froze while I was trying to take a screen shot. No big deal, it happens, but what was hugely disappointing was when I closed and relaunched the app for some unknown reason the entire thing jumped back in time by at least a couple weeks. It was like someone hit the undo button 10,000 times and redo was not an option. At least a week of notes and work gone in a snap. Again, if I ‘lost’ the last few minutes before a crash I could understand that, but a week plus?!?! Unacceptable. I’ve reached out to the customer support email address provided within the app but that was a waste of time, still no response over a week later. Would love to get my $10 back but probably not happening. Recommend avoiding this one until Epiphanie matures into a real developer / vendor.

I just bought this app and as it seems you are using the native tool set that apple has for pencil, but 2 very important thing are missing the first one, please can you add the selection tool? It is very important as you can save a lot of time selecting and duplicating an item, and 2, not as important as the first one, please allow to snip the tool menu to other side of the screen, for example I’m left handed and it is more comfortable to me to have the tools on the right side of the screen, thanks, hope to hear soon from you This is a little frustrating and disappointing. This app is not the cheapest one by far and yet aside from those comments I also discover when you export a file is a jpg with very bad resolution, I can,t share my sketching with my work colleagues with this image quality...

Best Note App I am loving this note app. I’ve tried all the majors in search of the perfect one for me. Notability and Goodnotes have rested on their laurels, Noteshelf is getting there, while Zoomnotes has everything but is complicated and has a clunky UI. This app has exactly what I want. Here are the standout features for me. 1. Even though it’s feature rich, the UI is simple and easy to use. Navigating, changing settings, and just doing anything in general is so easy and quick. Everything is where you expect it to be. 2. Tags and nested tags as a way to organize notebooks has become a feature I didn’t know I needed. It’s so much better than folder structure. Finding info on a topic across all of your notebooks or individual notebook pages is amazing. They’ve since added folders as well. 3. Layers are awesome. Zoomnotes and others have implemented layers, but they’re just so simple to use with Noteful. There are things the app is missing like handwriting to text conversion or a writing zoom tool (Zoomnotes has the best one if your interested in adding one), but I don’t use those so it doesn’t matter for me. All the other things it does so well trumps the missing features. At 4.99 it’s a bargain.

Love love love this app and the customer service I really like this app! One no subscription, 2 I can back it up to my google drive, 3 there’s a lot of templates built in (they even have storyboard which i needed) and the page can be colored dark through the template, 4 there’s a hands on tutorial that takes you through the examples, 5 there’s a default example of how notes could look included, 6 the notes can have layers that’s sooo dope, 6.5 you can open multiple notebooks and keep them in tabs, and 7 the ui is mad decent! I really love this app. I sent them feedback about 1 thing they already had and something I’d like and they were amicable about it, which I appreciated. If there’s a way to make custom templates ,brushes, or stickers I’d love a tutorial .

The potential to be better than GoodNotes and Notability Combined As a medical student, this app has surpassed my expectations. Although it is missing some key features seen in other note taking apps, the features included already are refined and intuitive. I would technically give this app 4 stars, but the extra star is for the potential I see happening within the next couple of months for two reasons. The company is very receptive on ideas and additions you would like to see in the app and, judging by the version history, they have been adding features and improvements monthly (at times weekly). Although it hasn’t replaced my other main note taking apps yet, I paid for the app to support the developer and I could see it becoming my primary note taking app in the coming months! Things I would like see in the app include - ability to search words in documents from the main menu - handwriting search function - auto backup to other cloud drive services - dark mode - import personal templates - ability to change pressure sensitivity of apple pen (not as essential as the other features mentioned)
