The menu bar on the phone needs to be at the top of the screen. This is my only complaint but it's a major issue for ease of use. Why on earth is it at the bottom with NO OPTION TO CHANGE THE LOCATION? Seriously? 😒 If they added the setting to place the menu either at the top or the bottom of the screen, this would be, hands down the best note taking out. it can't be that difficult to be coded. Edit: no response for the team. No acknowledgement of the request.

I have purchased so, so many annotation apps, and this is by far my favorite. It flawlessly syncs between my phone and tablet without any lag. The only downside I see is that it isn't available for computers. I have another app that is available for all 3 devices (laptop, tablet, phone), but it takes so long to sync and then it creates random backups and I'm never sure which one to keep. Please, please, please make this available for use on laptops.

This has tons of potential for graphic design as well as note taking, and I'm definitely sticking around for what it has to offer. Still, some features need to be added before I'd use it fully for design work. The shape editing is great but snapping shapes or lines to other lines or points is either impossible or inaccurate. Also, the fill tool is nice for polygons, but there really should be a paint bucket tool too for irregular shapes. There should also be a way to edit the curve of parabolas.
