Use your iPad and Apple Pencil to take handwritten notes, markup on imported PDFs, type text, convert handwriting to text, record audio while taking notes, create multi-media notes with images and photos and much more. Handwritten notes are searchable and can be stored on any cloud file service. First released in 2010, Notes Plus has earned love from millions of iPad users for its superb handwriting experience. Notes Plus X is a complete rewrite as a document-based app where you can keep your notebooks anywhere on device or any cloud service. Learning from 10+ years making handwriting apps and reading user feedback, Notes Plus X provides a distraction-free user experience that is both simple and powerful. Completely rewritten in the latest programming language and technology, it is blazing fast and ready for many updates in many years to come. WRITE LIKE ON REAL PAPER, AND MUCH BETTER • Write with Apple Pencil or any capacitive styluses, even with your finger. • Make any handwriting beautiful with patented vector-based inking effects (US 9189695 B2) for fountain pen, ballpoint pen, wet brush and calligraphy pen. • Offer many smart gestures to keep distraction away like cross/scrub to delete or circle to select. • Easily customize pen color, thickness, brush type, and switch between favorite pen styles. • Convert handwriting to text for search or share. TYPE LIKE IN WORD PROCESSORS • Support rich text format like word processors. • Change text font, color, and size for any text selection. • Provide text boxes to be easily moved around, customized background, border, and shadow. HIGHLIGHT LIKE WITH MARKUP TOOLS • Highlight on PDF, text or handwriting with customizable highlighting styles. • Automatically straighten highlighting lines to quickly perform any markup task. • Erase only highlighting, not the text beneath it. SKETCH LIKE IN DRAWING SOFTWARE • Auto detect and draw perfect shapes and lines. Insert rich collection of shapes like rectangles, polygons, ellipses, and more. • Move, resize, rotate, group, ungroup, bring to front, send to back, and much more. • Insert, crop, rotate images and photos.

I have used Notes Plus on my iPad mini with apple pencil 1st Gen no issues pencil is fully supported. So, I purchased a 2024 iPad Air M2 & the Apple Pencil Pro... Notes Plus does not fully support the Pencil Pro, I purchased Notes Plus X thinking I just needed to upgrade.... Nope Notes Plus X also does not fully support the Pencil Pro. What Gives, Viet Tran ???

I have been using Notes Plus for years and just attempted to switch to Notes Plus X. This app does not function well and has many issues with the handwriting recognition. I am disappointed that I spent the money on this. My original Notes Plus app is not working now and I am going to have to switch to another platform.

Not syncing. Please tell me a way to sync automatically with icloud or at least google drive or onedrive. We must have some way out. Such a great app for handwriting.

I have to chime in here… I've read other reviews and can't speak to their experience, but I haven’t lost anything. I've tried notability and goodnotes and other writing apps and there are some things this app just gets so right! Above all, the effortless way of circling anything, then rotating, shrinking/expanding it, or moving it around. It's so basic and powerful, I dislike working with pen and paper! I love the ease of a back-and-forth horizontal line deleting anything it touches. And the conversion to text does surprisingly well! I would've given it 4.5 stars because a gesture for undo (instead of tapping that small button) would make things more fluid (3-finger drag left, like iPhone?), and a cut command, in addition to copy and delete in the contextual menu for highlighted text would be helpful. But it's an extraordinary app for something as primal as writing, where one wants immediacy, ease of use and intuitiveness.

It used to be a very stable and great App. The support is not responding now and backups are incompatible with new versions.

Last time this app was updated was 1 year ago. Dev is so lazy. Grab bunch of cash and then not doing anything.

Kann kein einziges PDF importieren, bekomme immer die selbe Fehlermeldung. Nun gab es schon seit 11 Monaten kein update mehr. Hatte die vielen nicht so positiven Bewertungen gesehen und bei mir gedacht: “So schlecht kann die App doch nicht sein, Notes Plus war auch immer sehr gut.” Aber was soll ich sagen, ich hatte mich getäuscht. Ist für mich leider völlig unbrauchbar.

Despite the reviews I really wanted to see what this app could do. I’ve been a long time (but inconsistent) user of the original Notes Plus and really loved it but it was lacking in some table-stakes functionality I really thought should be there. This app is worse. While it does have more functionality, the bugs are even more pervasive. Just handwriting a note I find myself having to rewrite every other word or half-word because the app deletes it just after I write it. Honestly I think I’ll just go back to OneNote, even though I had issues with it they were nothing like this, and at least it’s Microsoft and we have a chance of regular updates. 🙏 Save your money, but more importantly save your time and aggravation. Just pass this one by.
