User Reviews for Flexcil Note & Good PDF Reader

Not sure what happened

I am a loyal user, but since updating to a new version this app has lost the ability to simply use the files in the Files app and is now managing files on their own? I get that they’re trying to monetize the app by forcing exports, but even if I did purchase the standard version, I would still have multiple copies lying around, and this makes the app completely unusable for me. It’s a real shame, because I loved the reading experience on the app. It was good while it lasted…

Good, not great

I recently switched from Goodnotes because I only really use my iPad for reading books/documents and annotations, so I wanted an app geared more towards those needs. Flexcil is great for that but my biggest complaint is the lack of syncing across devices. That was the reason I kept Goodnotes for so long because I could save a document to Goodnotes on my computer and edit it, then open my iPad or phone and it would automatically be there. The dropbox feature is not helpful in this regard, in fact, it creates more work. Besides other smaller complaints in the other reviews, if syncing was added this app would be a really great option for students.

Love and hate with this app. Giving up

I revisit the app’s updates every couple of months, hoping for significant improvements, but they have yet to materialize. My own learning philosophy, which appears to be somewhat mirrored in the app’s design, involves two phases: Phase 1 is focused on active reading with annotations, while Phase 2 concentrates on organizing and managing knowledge through excerpts, which are kept in a separate note. Despite its potential, the app falls short in several key areas: •Confusing Selection Mode: The app offers various gestures for text selection and highlighting, but none are reliably effective. •Inefficient Annotation Mode: Users must constantly toggle between modes to annotate a document directly. •Lack of iCloud Sync and Mac App: Despite its longevity, the app still doesn’t support iCloud syncing or offer a Mac version. •No Option for Original PDF Storage: The app lacks a feature to store original copies of PDF files. As for the separate note for excerpts: •Ill-Designed Note Window: The pop-up draft/note window seems like a good idea but lacks careful implementation. It needs features such as docking to a margin, adjustable transparency, or resizable dimensions.

DO NOT BUY THE PLANNER

I wasted $12 buying their digital planner within the app. First off it’s a pain to navigate. You have to constantly switch between pencil and gesture mode just to get around if you don’t feel like flipping through 450+ pages, one by one. It’s clunky and unwieldy. Still, I probably could’ve dealt with that if that was the only issue. What I cannot deal with is the fact that I took a bunch of notes and made up some schedules for very important assignments I have coming up. They are all now GONE. My planner is completely blank and now I have to start from scratch. I made the notes Friday, closed the planner for the weekend, and, Monday morning, signed on to discover everything gone. So thanks for that, guys. Super helpful for me to have to do all this work twice. Well worth the $12. I’ll be deleting the entire app once I’ve saved my data from it.

Add iCloud sync

Love this app for the ability to view 2-4 pages at a time (very helpful for viewing PowerPoint slides), the updated highlight features to add multiple colors to not only the highlight, but pens as well. The only missing thing that continues to boggle my mind as to why it has not already happened as multiple other note taking apps have been able to accomplish this successfully, is the iCloud sync across devices. I am so tired and it’s very frustrating to have to remember which device I took notes on instead of me being able to use whatever device I want and be able to access my most recent up to date set of notes. I shouldn’t have to backup my notebook and then recover it on another device. This is why I have not fully transitioned to using Flexcil for my needs. Developers, please fix this sooner rather than later. Thank you.

Great for going paperless

I have been using this app for Stage Management and interview and it’s been fantastic! I love the ability to have different pen for when I’m taking blocking note, the pop up note pad is great and I love that you can change the notebook assigned to it. One of the main features I would love to see in a future update is the ability to set a pdf page or just create my own temples pages. I know I can just duplicate a single page but it would be nice to pair it with the function that lets you swipe to create a new page.

Bad flipping pages in landscape 2 page view

In the first Flexcil you could have your notes on one side of the screen and when you flip the pages it goes to the next page but you don’t have to move your notebook page. Not with Flexcil 2! For some reason on Flexcil 2 when you flip to the next page it skips the page that’s under the notebook. So no more of the seamless experience of going on to the next page and leaving the notebook page there. You have to do this awkward moving your notebook to the other side of the screen to see the second page and then flip it and then move it back to the other side of the screen again. For all the features you guys are adding for Flexcil 2 why not keep the features from the last Flexcil. And using Flexcil 1 has all of this annoying stuff about upgrading and promotions. Why? Why would I upgrade to lose basic features?

APP crashes on iPad Pro 5th Generation

I am currently experiencing a significant issue with the app on my 5th generation iPad Pro. After launching the app, it consistently crashes after about 20 seconds of usage. I reported this problem back in May, but it has remained unresolved for over two months. Initially, I had hoped that it would be resolved with time, but it is disheartening that despite the issue being identified, no improvements or fixes have been implemented for over two months. This situation is incredibly frustrating as I have stored university lecture materials for over a year, and now I cannot even transfer the backups without the app crashing every 20 seconds, rendering it completely unusable. I have no choice but to purchase a different app for the upcoming semester and wait for this app to be fixed. While this app is genuinely excellent, the critical drawback and the company's silence as a consequence of patiently waiting make it imperative for those who have important data or materials to consider using a different app. Moreover, since I cannot retrieve my backed-up data, there is nothing I can do personally to resolve this issue. This entire situation is incredibly disappointing, and I strongly encourage individuals who have important files, documents, or future references to opt for an alternative app.

Way better than Goodnotes

The floating toolbar and formatting gestures are my favorite things. It’s more stream lined than GoodNotes. It doesn’t have everything but it’s not missing features that I need. The opposite is true, Flexcil has more features that I love than GoodNotes does. I use it for digital planning, and textbook annotations. I’m just so blown away by the annotation features. The recorder is also amazing for language learning and lectures. The floating toolbar and extremely fast hyperlink navigation from page to page are a game changer for digital planning. Even “lag free” planners have a split second delay in GoodNotes, but it’s instantaneous in Flexcil LOVE

“Almost” the best note app.. BUT

This app can be the best note taking app among other competitors if the developers just add one feature and fix an another.The missing feature is the touch sensitivity. The writing experience would be way better if this feature is available.The bug that really annoying in the highlights. When I use black ‘or dark’ paper, the highlights don’t appear. Actually it’s the main reason why I use other app for my homework because dark paper doesn’t hurt the eyes.I find myself waiting for every update to read the description with a hope the these two features has been added or not. Until then I don’t find the app meets my needs from it.Developers: please listen to your customers.
