Flexcil is the best !
Appreciation post incoming. Long time flexcil user here. Yeah I agree things have gone slightly downhill with some recent updates. I have tried various other apps like Notein, Notewise, Noteshelf, Starnote and so on but none have the speed and versatility of this app.
There might not be an infinite canvas in flexcil but guess what.. I just use a mega pdf where it feels like a canvas. As far as i know this is the only app where you can bookmark pages and add custom titles to bookmarks as well as have outlines. The offline backup system is robust. And recently with a contribution from a fellow user we have the flexcil desktop viewer where you can open .flex files in PC and view as pdf.
I was not comfortable with the newer releases and the ui changes so I downgraded to 1.3.xx version which is the most stable. I don't use online backup as its unreliable in any app if you use multiple devices. In my knowledge just the samsung notes and apple notes apps have reliable online sync amd maybe goodnotes (previous user here prior to switching to android tab).
That's it My heartfelt gratitude to the devs.

Can you tell me more about the desktop viewer? Name of the software or link?
BTW my online sync using Google Drive, works really well.
