- It has a very intuitive UI. It's easy to zoom, pan, erase in various modes. There's the insert space feature, you can move stuff around, etc. Also exports are quite easy and it automatically saves notes in html. cristobalvio • Oct 2017 • 2 agrees and 0 disagrees
- After a first pratice where it is poor you see that it's minimal but very functional and it become easier to control thing than xournal. Pdf export is great, writing is better than journal, making frame is quite easy better than xournal. But you don't have the option for drawing circle. Guest • Nov 2017 • 1 agrees and 0 disagrees
- It's like Xournal but with much more functionalities for really good handwriting note taking on the go Guest • Aug 2015 • 1 agrees and 5 disagrees
