Great twist on note taking

Finally a note taking app that manages to stay simple while offering a lot of flexibility. I love the twist of having pages and objects on an infinite canvas as it keeps my notes from becoming a sprawl of text. It also means that rearranging concepts is extremely easy to do.

Still young, still developing, and much more to cover

It has editable sticky notes, you can add images (crop and rotate) and stacks of PDFs, infinite capacity to create spaces and rename them; you can add text box (not much formatting options). You can add pages and choose different styles of them, but when you try to add and attached URL there is no way it can get smaller size.

There are many features it can implement. However, as a user I identified some main problems for me, which are the too low quality (blurry) definition of the text when zooming in or exporting the whole space and even exporting separately as pages on png format. There are no many options to increase the size of the eraser or pen. Also, another feature which seems to need further development is the selection tool, you cannot edit the rotation of it or even see where you are moving the text because it just disappears. Additionally, when you use the eraser tool over a sticky note and a page it just gets overloaded and it stops itself. The use of the apple pencil seems to work acceptably but not fluently as I expected. Not very intuitive for now.

Overall, all is a great and useful app with a unique and outstanding concept. Hope can get further.

Note: is not multi-platform and as I can see it doesn't get very often updates but the developer has multiple channels where you can suggest features and see tutorials.

A great concept.

So far I love this app. This app could have even more potential as a digital desk with some more functions. I look forward to this app growing. So far though it is a good app.
