User Reviews for Element Note

Amazing app!

I got this app mostly for the variety of pens and aesthetic design. I love all the variations and ability to note take very easily. Everything is easy to navigate and it’s my new favorite handwriting note taking app. However since this app is still new, I am excited for the future features they will add! I also especially love the one time payment! It’s one of the main reasons I got it! I really didnt want a subscription and this was perfect! Additions that could be helpful: - I would like if this app could please keep the page background color when exporting with Dark Mode rather than switch everything to light mode when exporting. -More importantly: when i download a large pdf to take notes on it, it take a second for what I write to show up on the screen, which is reasonable. However, on other programs it does not lag. If this could be fixed I would really appreciate it.

Great goodnotes alternative

Element note is free as long as you dont go over three notebooks. Has very good pens and they are very smooth, good if you use tablet or ipad to handwrite notes. Design also looks clean and easy, not confusing to use.However, the textbox feature is very difficult to use and there are very minimal features for typing out notes if you dont have a pencil at the moment. There could be a feature to adjust text spacing and text size within a box. Also goodnotes has a feature where typed words automatically line up with template lines. I think thats what separates goodnotes from all the other note taking apps. Its just that goodnotes costs more money.

Perfect for handwritten notes

I am really impressed with this app for handwritten notes and some basic sketches and ideas. It lacks a few features, but it has all the features that I have actually USED from other very popular note taking apps. Plus, in terms of responsiveness of the pens and brushes, they seem both more flexible AND more responsive.I am really enjoying this app, in many ways it is more precisely what I have been looking for in a note-taking app for a long time.

(UPDATED) I really want to buy this app, despite some bugs

I’ve been looking for a satisfying note-taking/PDF markup app all day, and this app mostly hits the nail on the head. There’s a couple glaring bugs, notably the eraser doesn’t register 100% and there’s a slight delay in the writing when quickly zooming/panning. But I’m still thinking of buying lifetime access to this app because I’m sure the developer will iron out these issues. The fountain pen + gradient ink alone is enough reason for me to buy this app. Try it out!UPDATE: I just replaced my Apple Pencil nib with a new one since I had previously dropped my pencil and it landed on the nib. I don’t know if it’s placebo, but the supposed bugs are now gone. The issues might have been hardware related. 100% get this app!

So Happy!!

I never could find a notes app that I felt comfortable in. There are just too many issues to list here as to why they didn’t work. I had given up on using my iPad for my notebook. Then I got a random recommendation for this app on YT…and, my whole world has been changed! The combination of the streamlined workspace and the incredible pen writing experience, has just blown me away!! Not to mention the ease of adding media and page editing. I have been writing daily and creating notes pages that fill me with creative glee!🥹 Thank you, this is what I have been searching for, for years!!!⭐️✨⭐️✨⭐️✨🥰

Awesome

I’ve used two main note apps, my handwriting looks awful. I liked aspects from both note apps but wanted to find one with everything. I used this app for the first time today and will be rewriting my notes from both other apps that I use. I really like how the pens make my handwriting look and how much more like my actual handwriting it is. This will be my app from here on out and I can’t wait to see what else is added to it!

Amazing handwriting

For context I’m a student and take all my notes on iPad. So far, none of the typical note taking apps have really satisfied me at all, until I found this app.This app has the best handwriting I’ve ever seen from the various note taking apps for iPad. My handwriting is so clear that I don’t need OCR to clean it up. It feels telepathic how well the words turn out the first try, I can finally just focus on writing and not worry about aesthetics. That said, this app is missing features that I consider essential for my needs as a student. OCR, audio recording, auto shape lines, and those other nice to have features are absent. It’s unclear whether they will be added later although I hope they are. I’d personally love to see these features added or the ability to import my element notes to nebo and use their OCR and miscellaneous functions. I hope the developer considers the latter option as I could see it being a huge advantage over other apps.

Almost perfect

I downloaded Element from recommendations ironically from the GoodNotes Reddit page. People raved about the pen choices and how your handwriting looks and they were right! And the stickers!! and the ability make your own sticker sheets is awesome. However, I’m hoping Element does do some upgrades such as: the ability to bookmark or favorite a page in a notebook. I know you can search which is great but for instance, I use it primarily for a digital planner which is over 700 pages and sometimes it’s difficult or otherwise takes time to find a particular page. I also kind of miss the ability to rearrange pages by selecting and dragging but that’s not a big deal. I also noticed some glitches in Element like it took some time to load when I opened a notebook. But I absolutely love writing more with Element. Which motivates me to write more so that part gets 5 stars. But I am hoping they add bookmarking or a timeline option, then this app will be a ten star app!

Amazing note taking app!

I love the different color as well as the stabilization feature for handwriting. My online handwriting actually looks okay now compared to my writing on goodnotes and notability. My only complaint right now is that it’s a hassle to import images. There’s no cropping feature for imported images and I don’t like how you have to use the lasso tool to move/resize images rather than clicking on the image itself. Still though, the app is great. The color selection is nice. And the free stickers are all adorable!

The best note-taking app around!

I have tried every note-taking app on the App Store: Notability, Goodnotes, Noteshelf, CollaNote. I even used Apple Notes as my main note-taking app for a while. But, they all had their flaws in my opinion, whether it be lack of functionality, poor UI/UX, or difficult to use. BUT THIS APP…THIS APP IS EVERYTHING I’VE BEEN LOOKING FOR!!! It has a beautiful, simple UI, the most tools and functionality I’ve ever seen in a note-taking app, and is incredibly simple, smooth, and easy to use. I wish I had this app sooner! I have nothing but great things to say about this app and recommend to anyone looking for a note-taking app. This app truly is…Elegant!
