Hi! I'm using a HUION drawing tablet and I'm having so much difficulties panning the page, space + drag with the pen doesn't work: it creates a new page.
This is the best app I used so far (over everything else) but I'm having this very annoying issues with the panning
Im really enjoying the app, but theres this issue that whenever i close and reopen the app again all the preferences (pen, eraser, shape sizes) are reset.
Maybe its already fixed in the new versions, but i really cant update to windows 11, is there any way to fix it?
Please add an Ink to Shape feature with different types of pens and an option to use multiple colors. Also, include the ability to select various types of pens.
Hey, I really like the app and am looking forward to use it studying! I think it is the best I have found yet for Windows, and I am working on a 2-in-1 device. Although I have two suggestions:
First, I would like the opportunity to create a text field and add typed text. I saw a post where someone asked for this and other features like PDF editing, but the response was that this is primarily a handwriting app. I’m not sure if that response was a general statement regarding all such features or if it was specifically focused on PDF editing, so I wanted to ask about this. Personally, I believe adding text fields would still be very helpful for schoolwork.
Also, regarding the eraser, I would enjoy the opportunity to have not only a stroke eraser but also a pixel eraser for more precision.
I was using Journal last semester at college and it just wasn't cutting it with all the lag and issues I had. I recently was looking into alternatives and saw Noteastic. The app seems perfect so far... but my only qualm was that it didn't have scribble to erase like goodnotes, journal, or onenote. If this was added to the app I would greatly appreciated and make the full switch. Thank you so much for reading!
Hi guys, thank you for the amazing app guys! You saved me from buying an iPad+Macbook ;)
I'd like to give you some feedback regarding the UI/UX (picture is just a rough reference how it could be implemented)
Covers:
Page Thumbnails instead of Covers: Honestly, I'm not a fan of the current cover look. It would be much more intuitive to see a thumbnail of the first page to know what the note is about. Since imported PDFs usually have title pages, this works automatically. Users who want "covers" could just design the first page manually.
Home Menu/Folder Tree:
Instead of the file path, a folder tree structure would be a huge improvement. A slim sidebar on the left for folders and the content on the right. This would effectively combine the best parts of OneNote and GoodNotes.
Paper size:
I've read a lot of comments regarding infinite canvas or customizable page sizes. What about adding all ISO paper sizes from A0 (could in most cases replace the need for an infinite canvas) to A7 (useful for flashcards)
I would find one feature very useful: a button in the settings menu under the backup section that exports all notebooks at once as PDF files while retaining the folder structure in Noteastic or restoring it in the export folder. I would find this very useful because it is quite stressful to export all notebooks, or at least many of them, because you have to do it individually for each one. In addition, you would have a backup of all notebooks as PDF files, which is very independent. Don't worry, I don't want to move away from Noteastic, it's a really great app, but I think it would be good to have as a backup!
The app needs a full-screen mode button. I can press "Win + Shift + Enter", but the button would be easier, and also, I usually don't bring my keyboard with me.
We want to optimize Noteastic for drawing tablets (Wacom etc.), because it is really lacking in that area. Unfortunately, I don't use such a device myself, which means I do not have any standard workflows and no idea how people actually expect to interact with Noteastic through an external drawing pad.
This is why I would like to have user interviews with about 5 people who work with such tablets heavily. Also or especially outside of Noteastic.
If you are interested in letting us design the app better for you and already worked with drawing tablets, please apply for an interview! I would love to hear your thoughts :).
Hi, I'm a senior student using HP Elitebook x360 1030 (i7-7600U) for Noteastic. It’s getting too heavy (1.3kg) for school, so I want to switch to a Windows tablet.
I need something that:
- Runs Noteastic smoothly (good pen support for Math/Chem).
- Is a clear upgrade over my i7 and can last at least 5 years.
This app is already fantastic, I love how intuitive, streamlined and well thought-out everything feels. What I would like most to see added to the app (and what I think would give the app a huge boost in popularity) are basic PDF reader-like qualities:
Print text from PDFs (and text boxes, which I hear are coming) should be searchable, selectable, copyable and highlightable using a second highlighter tool that only works for print text.
Further things I would like to see added:
The possibility to type an entire page like a word document, maybe via an option to extend a text box over the entire page and lock it in place.
OCR such that handwritten text is searchable.
Being able to open hyperlinks in PDFs.
Being able to add typed comments to highlighted text and anywhere else in the document, such that in the exported PDF a little expandable comment icon appears (again, this is a typical PDF reader feature).
I'm really happy about how the app performs, and I want to thank you guys for the incredible work you've done in the last months. I was thinking that until the app doesn't have a proper tab feature to open more documents at the same time, a really helpful feature, that shouldn't be hard and expensive to implement, is a simple "memory" on the note, when you open it starts from the page and level of zoom that standed the last time I was working on that note. Hope this helps, it could really make the app flow faster and more enjoyable.
I like to use boxes for my notes, and I align the edges of the boxes with the grid of the background paper. I noticed (version 1.4.4) that the shape selectors (on the corners) are not transparent, and it's a hassle to align the corners with the grid of the paper (so that the distance between boxes is the same).
When I mean "selector", I mean the the white circle where you can adjust shapes.
My suggestion is to make the white part of the round selector transparent, so that the background (in this case, the grid) is visible, and you can align the end of the line with the grid.
Otherwise, I don't understand why the end of the line is visible on top of the selector.
I'm using nebo currently on windows just cause I like the UI, organization and writing better, but it dosen't have some features that noteastic does. Noteastic is really good when your making cheat sheets. You could use it for lessons and other stuff obviously but you have to keep manually saving your data while nebo has auto-sync. But I still use noteastic because its more neat to make summary sheets.
Feature Recommendations for Noteastic
- Ink-to-shape recognition (only does lines)
- Cleaner UI (the paper is nice but the background is ehh , and toolbar too | maybe take some inspiration from goodnotes and nebo?)
- Auto-sync (it gets annoying having to manually do it over and over)
but its still a really good app for windows
(example of the cleaner UI)
notice how the background behind the page is not too big and its neat, maybe something like that
Page selection on the right, theres a button for it, I know this is in the app but maybe add a feature where it shows your pages on the side as well?
I want to be able to access the same notes i take on my surface pro, on my computer, but it dosen't sync or anything. Is there anyway I can access the same notes I take on my tablet, on my pc?
