I was looking for an app to plan and have notes for my new book, And I was gonna settle with just a normal notes app but THIS is amazing!! it's super visual, you can add images and texts and drawings to have a better visual for your notes, and it isn't just for writing or whatever. it's great for things like- planning a book, party, presentation, ect because you have All the visuals there! definitely recommend.

Very responsive, has good customization and I like the shapes tool very much. That being said, I'm very disappointed by the lack of features, mainly on the cloud: -I purchased a subscription for cloud usage, but the web version is very lacking. I truly don't expect a full web application, but not being able to create folders, import, handle or even just zoom in on the documents is... Not useful.

I like the app, I'm currently paying for 10 GB.Here some things to improve: -Sometimes the cloud doesn't work, and if you need to download something in that moment, just have to wait, and could be hours of waiting. -I would be great if you add a split view, so I can have two notes from the app open at the same time, it's really helpful because I use it a lot in the university. -Add favourite folders or subfolder and not just favourite notes, so I can have my most frequent subfolders on the top.
