User Reviews for CollaNote: Handwritting & PDF
Great free app!
I honestly am surprised this is not a paid app! It has many great features and is just what I need! I use this app to create cute recipe cards, journal, plan my garden, and take notes! I have not even used the app to its full extent! The only thing that is difficult is some features were difficult to figure out at the beginning, and then when I am using my Apple Pencil to write text in the text box portion (so not using the lasso tool to convert handwriting to text directly on the note page) it will pop up blue dots underneath some words, though they are correct. The only way I have really found to get the blue correction lines to disappear is to tap the suggested word(s), highlight and type it with the keyboard, or to scribble it out and erase it. This is really annoying when this happens to multiple words that are correct in the text box as it takes a lot of time to redo them! This could be something I am doing wrong - but Google and the questions note have been no help! If this did not happen, the app would be perfect for me but I give it a 10/10 nonetheless! Great job, developer!
Saved me from losing school work
This app has a lot more applications and freedom then most paid apps I’ve used in the past. It also saved me from loosing school work. My previous school had me download a different note app. For the most part the prior app was fine, except for the amount of notes I lost to hungry void. Eventually ditching the prior app in search of a new one. CollaNote has a small learning curb but that’s what the beginners tips are there for, despite that it can be a little bit of a struggle sometimes to find things in settings. For example, the dark interfaces are not seen in the settings icon next to all the other options in the all notes area. You have to enter a note and these options can only be accessed while in a note. There isn’t many export file options at the moment but does have your universal pdf file, so it’s much easier for other apps to accept your notes. Would definitely recommend as theirs so many people who are contributing to this app who are helping making the app more accessible for other languages. There are public notes that allow for a unique way of interaction with users. Notes are also ridiculously easy to organize once u get over that learning curb.
Best Notes App EVER
This is truly the best app out there for taking notes and planning. There is so much customization to fit everyone’s needs and to make it feel like your writing in an actual note book. Not only is this app amazing it has a great community around it as well. People are almost always very kind and helpful and on the community notes, people love to share their drawings and express themselves. One thing that truly amazes me is that there are no in-app purchases. Everything offered is completely free. It’s great seeing other students/people wanting to help other students/people succeed without trying to, essentially, steal their money for a mediocre app at best. When you can simply download the app and have everything, if not more, than something you would pay for. And on top of that you are a part of and supporting a great community. If you’re looking for a notes app, this is it. Of course there are still a few flaws but this app is growing and becoming better with every update. You can noticeably see the changes being made to improve the app (which is really cool in my opinion). But seriously there is no notes app out there that is better than this one.
100 stars ⭐️s
I’m not really a journaler or a serious note taker. I scribble on posts-its and index cards so I thought it would be a good idea to get into notetaking on my iPad because I can find it easier than i can a random index card. I tried to look for an inexpensive note taking app to start off this new endeavor of keeping notes and maybe start to journal. I tried the Notes app that comes with the iPad and it lacks some pictures. And I didn’t wanna spend a lot of money on something that I might not use. Somehow I stumbled onto this app and WOW!!! It has all the bells and whistles: I can import PDFs, make my own PDFs, I can draw and adjust pens/pencils, stickers, shapes there are templates, I can collaborate, have different folders 📂! The potential is incredible. And all for the low price of free!!! And even the app privacy seems to be good. How? And it appears this is a one-person show! What? Anyway, I highly recommend this. Go ahead and download and use the template here or look for free bullet journal templates, or planner templates, and imported them to this app and you’ll hit the ground running. I just think this app is incredible and you will think so too. Huge thanks to the developer for your commitment and your generosity! Cheers!
Great app, could have better UI
This is an amazing app. I love that it has so many feature and that it uses PencilKit (the low latency is amazing). Other paid apps have not adopted PencilKit for that amazing latency. My only gripe is that the UI seems less polished than some of the other paid app. For example, the folders look less professional, especially on the edit screen. Also the icons for pens, highlighters, etc. don’t look that good. Also the turquoise color scheme for the icons does not look great. Of course, this is just my opinion, and it is amazing that the dev made this app free and is actively working on it as well. It is extremely-feature rich Once the UI is more polished, it would compete with even paid note-taking apps, and I would choose CollaNote over them. Thanks for your work, Dev!Edit: I wanted to update my review after developer response. I don’t think the UI is ugly. I simply don’t think it looks as great nor polished as apps like Goodnote and Notability. Creating a very good looking UI extremely difficult, something I am not capable of, and for a single dev to do what you have done is nothing short of amazing. This is an amazing app. Hence me giving it five stars. And yes, the UI is a matter of taste.
Immediately became a must-have tool for my work notes
This is a very nice, well-designed program that makes note taking feel intuitive in a digital setting. I’ve been trying to get off paper for years, downloading different programs to no avail - this finally did the trick. The app is straightforward, intuitive, and has all the functionalities I need (and none of the distractions that I don’t!). I love the different stationary types (they have engineering paper, lined grids of all sizes, dot matrix, even pretty stationeries and music manuscript). I’ve downloaded calligraphy practice pages, and use them as stationary for tracing practice. It’s easy to store and sort notes neatly (though I’d love to have the option of seeing files as a list with date/timestamp, but that’s really minor). Simple cut/paste/scroll/pen options (with the option of a weighted pencil) are exactly what I need, and I’ve never found myself desiring anything that isn’t there! It makes for a sleek, simple, highly effective program that has become a central element of my day-to-day notetaking.I don’t often write reviews, but this program has made an enormous difference in my professional notetaking needs. I use it constantly.
Awesome
I’m in awe😳 with all that this app offers and for free no less. Very impressive to have many options and truly be able to utilize the app. So, great Job and kudos to the developer. Many should learn from you. There’s no subscription being shoved our throats or making the app unusable without a subscription or ads every 2 seconds, but I will say that for that reason alone with having an amazing app, I wish there was a an option to make a donation like some YouTubers have so we can show our appreciation. I understand developers need to make a living as well and cost of keeping apps updated or adding new features but this whole needing a subscription for everything it seems like now a days, it’s just out of hand So to see a developer offer what you know we would want and would like to have is greatly appreciated. I wish many others learned from you. You should be one that is a featured app. Your doing something right when you have a near perfect rating of a 4.9. Know that if you ever develop more apps, those that have used this app would also follow you to what ever else you develop bc they know what you offer and that it would be just as great as this one. Keep up the amazing job. And for those considering this app? You will love it. You won’t be disappointed. Good job buddy and keep up the good work !!!! 👍🏼⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Amazing
I am constantly searching for the perfect journaling and note taking app. Usually, they leave me wanting/needing features, or the UI is not what I'm looking for, or it's overly complicated, or, more often than not, the subscription price is ridiculously steep for what you get. Until now.This is a nearly perfectly designed, feature rich and powerful note taking and journaling app that works smoothly and superbly with apple pencil. All of this and it is FREE! No tricks, no gimmicks, nothing!! From what I have observed, the developer is responsive and wants to put out a great app. I suspect that in time this will be a paid or subscription based app and I'm ok with that! I'm still learning and exploring, but right now the only things I have missed are a larger selection of sticker packs (which could be offered for purchase) and text formatting within text boxes - centering within text box, assigning a specific size to font for consistency between boxes, etc). I could be missing something, or maybe there is not a way to do that. I can work around it. I have downloaded the beta so I will be exploring more.
An incredible note taking app, definitely a competitor
TL;DR: this wildly good free app will make you question why anyone would pay for a note taking app. This app offers many of the same incredible features that paid apps such as Notability and GoodNotes use to justify price points. I downloaded it out of curiosity and now I am reconsidering making the jump to primarily use it. I am just flabbergasted that it is completely free with no micro transactions or ads. Some of the features do come out a little less polished than the other big names apps, but I have looked at the developer’s update history on their published forum and it is incredible how responsive, timely and involved the individual is. I have no doubt that in less than a few months, those polishes will be more than completed AND even more new features will be implemented. I would be more than happy to send a few $$ to the developer because they seem to actually care about improving their app and implementing feedback, vs the once very few months minor “update” provided by expensive, big name note taking apps (which sometimes include new micro transactions). Note taking apps everywhere better watch themselves on what they charge for in the future and on how fast they get features out there.
This app is AMAZING!
I can’t believe one student made this app by himself, you can tell by the rating compared to other apps that this one is pretty freaking close to perfect. I also love that there is a way in the app itself to contact the creator to suggest the addition of any features you would like to request! I have looked and looked at so many apps since I got my new iPad Pro to find the perfect app that would work well with the Apple Pencil and would help me to not only create but also to organize my notes, doodles, drawings, journal entries or whatever! Then I stumbled upon this app after downloading so many others, and it’s near perfect with almost all the features I have found and wanted from all the other apps but wrapped into one…..with a beautifully designed and thought out UI that is easy to navigate and looks premium. Surprised this app is available for free for what it’s worth, other apps that don’t even come close to comparing usually either don’t have all the features you want or if they do, they have a poorly designed and cheap looking user interface. »» Truly thankful for this guy, keep on with the amazing work - your future is looking mighty bright! ✨
