Premium for basic functions?
I don’t understand how you can call yourself “doc editing app” when it’s a basic function and you’re locking it behind a paywall for a “premium” account.

Think Twice Before Subscribing
The application’s functionalities and user-friendliness are commendable, with the exception of its handwriting experience. However, the basic subscription plan is quite limited, and I quickly realized the necessity of expanding the cloud storage capacity. The subscription therefore was unviable for my needs. Within 48 hours, I decided to switch to a different writing application and promptly submitted a subscription cancellation request. Regrettably, the request was denied. I removed the application from my devices and have not utilized it since, but I ended up paying for the subscription. I strongly advise prospective subscribers to carefully consider the application’s features and limitations before making a subscription decision.

Ambiguous limitations on PDF import
As a designer, I wanted to annotate some PDFs that are multiple pages, pretty long, and the largest about 13mb. Notewise wouldn’t even import them and I have no idea what the size limitations actually are. The app just said they were too big. Immediate uninstall.

Line spacing
Add line spacing in text. It is currently to tight which makes it difficult to read
★★★★★ Isabella the cat 12/14/2025 v3.2.8
Too expensive
The app is okay but imo the yearly subscription is too expensive for the amount of space they allow you for saving files.
★★★★★ kookore 9/5/2025 v3.0.6
Delay across shared profiles/devices
I enjoy the app and the features that come along with it, the only thing that truly bothers me is that it takes forever to update edited notes across different devices, especially if the note is shared with different users. It becomes hard to navigate and communicate with team members when half their edits aren’t seen on my end. I’d appreciate it if this issue would be resolved soon!
★★★★★ Duly.Noted 11/5/2024 v2.14.2
Meh
Just okay, for the most part. I didn’t find anything truly amazing about this but also nothing horrible. It is somewhat decent, but not a particularly good app that I care to continue using.
It is about average on performance and appearance, free from any glitches or gimmicks, and runs smoothly overall. On the other hand, I found that it a below average selection of tools and other note taking features. Could definitely stand for a few extra things on the tool bar that actually deliver decent results, just to make it stand out amongst all of the other (actually free) note taking apps.
Overall, it is not bad for an app, but there isn’t much that really makes it unique, special, or great. Now, considering you have to fork over a few bucks to continue using the app beyond the free trial… I honestly wouldn’t say it’s good enough to do that. It’s definitely not worth paying for, considering that are way better apps out there that charge nothing.
