Reviews for Notewise - AI Notes, PDF, Docs

Lost in Tactics

I’m considering subscription (zoom box needs auto)

Currently looking into this app for journaling and design. No auto zoom box? Meaning… zoom box does not automatically move along the line as I write, instead it requires me to manually tap the → to follow my writing. This is automatic in notability. Having to tap → or constantly move the zoom box as I write, heavily interrupts and disrupts the immersive writing nature. Also, zoom box does not automatically *snap* onto the template page lines nor does it snap to the page margins.

Too expensive

The app is okay but imo the yearly subscription is too expensive for the amount of space they allow you for saving files.
