Great app, love the way the pen 'feels.' I used to be in the 🍎 ecosystem and using Goodnotes. Thats amazing but isnt crossplatform. I switched to Android and Onenote because I still use a macbook. It works on everything, but i dont like the feel of the pen nor am i a fan of infinite pages. So you can imagine how happy I was when I discovered Noteshelf! As good as goodnotes but crossplatform! One HUGE problem howver: it doesnt sync. So crossplatform is useless.. please fix this! U'd go 3 to 5 ⭐

I like this app and have been using it for 4 years. But I am looking for alternatives now if the following are not fixed. 1. Sync: it takes FOREVER and can't merge changes properly - I always end up with 2 versions that I have to sort out manually. Super annoying. 2. Sync: requires Google Drive which I don't have much space as a free user. I need sync to work using OneDrive. 3. Bookmarks in notebooks are very clumsy. 4. Customer Service doesn't reply to feedbacks.

Bought this app to replace Google Keep. Not impressed at all and won't be using it. The only issue I have with Keep was it's lack of security, this app is no better, in fact it's worse and not at all intuitive. Won't let me start a note at the top of the screen, only opens the keyboard half way down the page. Haven't been able to sync via Dropbox so far but I'm uninstalling it now and hope to get a refund.
