Add sharpening options
Emilioaab
Could save me loads of time if you added the sharpening option when uploading photos. Many times i have blurry pdf texts and need to have them sharpened please add also arrow like in notability when writing with the pen like notability has this option when you draw a line and a traingle at the top and hold it for couple of seconds so it makes it a nice symmetrical arrow also please add options for table making instead of drawing tables all the time, please also when i try to adjust an image it has the option where you can rotate it. please make the rotation so i can make it also not straight. when i m too close to straight it it straightens itself automatically. hard to explain. the straightener is good but it has a big rotation zone and i want it to make more subtle.

New: since the new update it’s randomly delayes or doesn’t save what I do! Old:Enjoyed the up, really helped at me at my university studies, I do have few complaints: 1. As I sure it is very evident, my native language is not English or any of the languages that the up offers. I also have dyslexia and I find the handwriting help tools frustratedly out of reach ( my hopes was it will help with the equations also didn’t come true. The hole situation is very tantalising) 2. Color, I prefer dark mode , and when I try to export my white on black notes , if I publish without background I get white on white. Alternatively, if this problem is something you choose not to fix I would prefer to be able to adjust the background Color to darker black ( I did get used to writing comments for myself in black on “black” , but it would make more cance to adjust the background Color or allowing adjusting it ) 3. Sticky notes , didn’t manage to work with that tool, something it hides the writing underneath it, something it allows to write on note (and then, when I adjust the note, it’s hide the writing underneath) 4. Something, while writing , the up just shut down, it’s always ok when I re- enter but it “kills the flow “
The app getting worse
MLD-MD
I downloaded the app and bought the full version later on new update came in and lemme be honest the worst update ever the app is simply UNBEARABLE! Each time u type it won’t let u move the text box or it won’t let u select the right text sentence to highlight to bold and under line, the bold and underlined option are horrible I find my self wasting time on choosing each word to underline and only with my Apple Pencil it does work but I just can’t stand it the app is getting worse each update, This app is draining my battery life of my iPad I start with 100% finish after 2 hours of use in 10%! and yes I checked my iPad on Apple care and everything is working perfectly so many complaints the worst one is that the app crushes every 50 min!!Although the Cons there is some Pros for example the Toolbar is comfortable. I’m moving to other app since in can’t stand this app those updates are getting worse and the experience same.I regret paying the full price for this I would pay 5$ TOP since I did find the app useful for first a year or 2 until it got worse.
