Very good note taking app for android. Your basic free trial is really limited tho, so you will have to buy it after having seen if its to your liking ofc. I only wished they allowed us to add more pens, that way I can keep different colors ready to use at any time. Now I first have to tap the pencil to then press the different color. It would be nicer if I could add my own extra pens and then I would only need to press the pen next to the one to instantly get a different color.

So glad you're enjoying Notein! We hear you on wanting quicker access to different pen colors. You can actually save your most-used pen configurations (type, color, thickness) as "Pen Favorites" for one-tap access. Just set up a pen how you like, then tap the heart icon in the Pen Case to save it. Hope this helps!

the best thing about this app is that it is cheap, but its services are as good as expensive ones. On the other hand, the size of the files expeted is a way too big. it is nearly impossible to open them with other tools like google drive. better flattening service should be updated. Also, the pensil doesn't really looks like the real pencil. the first version of it was better.

I am experiencing persistent synchronization issues despite my premium subscription, which I initially purchased for the quality of the interface. I was unaware of this significant synchronization problem at the time of subscription, and despite repeated reminders to your team, it remains unresolved.
