Notebook Pro

Give Notebook Pro a try if you're like me and sometimes would just rather write than type (especially if you own a Surface Pro device with the Surface Pen). I decided to try Notebook Pro (and many other similar apps) after giving up on the drawing/handwriting feature of OneNote. I love OneNote as a general note taking app but when I want the feel of using a physical notebook and pen I use Notebook Pro. Every time I use this app my mind is blown at how similar it feels to writing on loose leaf paper. I use this app every single day and I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT. If you do get this app I highly encourage you to purchase the pro features. I'm rarely willing to pay for the pro features of an app, but I'm so happy I did for Notebook Pro. Developers of Notebook Pro, I thank you dearly for creating my hands down favorite app of all time.

I purchased the "pro" version about a year ago. It had no ads. I do not use the app regularly and when I opened today.... asking me to pay more to remove the ads or add/pay for this or that. Anyone who purchases this app should know they have to pay the developer extra to avoid ads or to access whatever else they may 'add' to improve their product/app. They should find new clients instead of turning existing users into disgruntled ones. Would not recommend unless you want penny pinched to use a product you've already paid for..

Seems to be a pretty good app. Has a lot of cool features. Would get a great rating, however, won't permit changing pen colors. Keeps saying could not connect to the windows store, connect to the internet and try again. I am connected to the internet and still won't work. Unable to get help for the issue.

I haven't really found anything wrong with this app. I use it for College, often in lieu of a real notebook. You can import different templates easily.

I love this program, although I couldn't imagine using it without a stylus. It's a supremely effective note-taking tool, and reduces the clutter of multiple files into a highly organized "notebook". I especially enjoy its graph paper function. The ads can be a bit bothersome depending on the screen orientation, but as far as free apps go, this is a tremendously helpful learning aid.

Unfortunately, it wasn't until after I paid for the ad-free feature that I realized how broken. I tried to make a storyline with typed notes. Once I typed a note, the lines flew everywhere. I recommend eJournal instead.

I love using this app for note taking. Overall wonderful for marking up my PDF lecture notes. However, every time I open a PDF the message that the image is being reduced opens for every single page and it is tiresome to click through. I wish that there was an option where that wouldn't open for all of the pages.
