So I’ve had this app for about a month or two and it’s better than most of the note taking apps that I have used for school and my education. It has plenty of options and a range of different things from layers to stickers. And you can add your own stickers and images for free unlike most apps that use it to their advantage for premium options. I love it so much.There’s different templates you can choose or customize, like general A4 or bigger. You can too customize the page itself, I love the addition of the cornel study note template as it has made it easier for myself not needing to add the different sections constantly. I also do like the range of pens and how they’ve added stability like you do, in drawing apps to keep it straight. Very useful. It’s easy to use and understandable for me, a teenager and admire the folder system, as I need to be organized. As it too has the folder in folder system, which is nice to organize which goes to where. Overall I myself adore the app and still use it. I highly encourage for it to be used.
Great App

This is a great app, easy to use, fantastic interface and really makes life easier when I wanna write notes. I would want to see a few additions such as add a shape option to the toolbox, which has multiple shapes in it and you can choose which shape you want to add to the page and then be able to adjust the size once on the page, and if you could better the shape recognition when drawing as currently it takes a long time so if these changes can be implemented it would enhance the experience while using the app. Overall fabulous app love it!!!
why did one of their ads flash me a woman's lower half.

dude listen. freenotes is great, i love the pens they have and their app layout and how easy it is so use, but just like all the other lower rating reviews i downloaded freenotes because it was free and i didnt have to pay for extra notes as a student. until i saw that i had 3 last notes i can create, and an update that i had to pay for an unlimited plan. i love freenotes bro like it stuck with me in my senior year of high school and im willing pay for the plan cause i love it. but TELL ME WHY one of their advertisements were of a dating app that literally flashed me a woman's lower half doing something very inappropriate to herself 😭😭😭i normally do not pay attention to ads but this seriously just took me back. the app name was Jemu. what the heck is going on brah

App was free until it WASN’T FREE
n.a.n.w
I have been using FREE notes for about a month, absolutely amazing, every pen unlocked, unlimited notebooks, but all of a sudden (today), I received a popup to pay for “plus and pro” in order for unlimited notebooks, certain pens (which i use a lot) I’m still able to use the app but now I’m restricted, I can’t make my straight lines, layers, more notebooks anymore unless I pay 😭 I can’t tell if this was a marketing strategy, but this is definitely not FREEnotes. But overall the strategy did work as I plan to pay for plus since I love this app a lot. I just wish it would’ve given me a warning that I was going to lose access to these benefits.
