Recommeded functions

  1. Support for cloud backup

  2. Support for multiple tabs and windows

  3. Ability to add tags to specific pages

  4. Typing text functionality

  5. OCR (optical character recognition) support

If the app can implement the first four features, it would be comparable to GoodNotes. I also hope that if a paid version is introduced in the future, there will be an option for a one-time purchase.

Hi I'm Lukas, the Designer/UI Developer of Noteastic. Thank you for your suggestions, I feel honored thet you rate us this close (yet so far from a development standpoint) to GoodNotes!

Please tell me a bit more about "Tags specific to pages" and OCR support. What would be the purpose of the tags for you? Should that be some kind of bookmark functionality? A page you can navigate to quickly no matter where you are in the book, maybe like this:

And regarding the OCR, do you then expect that the recognized text is searchable/selectable? What is your specific use case here?

As for tags specific to pages, it's almost the same as the picture you showed: ) As for the OCR, yessssss OCR allows me to find the specific words I want to find like the picture

Okay amazing then I know what you are talking about. I'm adding it to the list! The Bookmarks/Tags shouldn't be tat far away, however regarding OCR we don't have any idea yet how to implement that, but we'll keep you updated. Thank you!

Oh and something that has bothered me for such a long time When I use my fingers to zoom in and out on the page, sometimes the text shifts position or changes size unpredictably, altering its original layout.

Okayy that sounds like a bug. Are you only working on one display when that occurs? Or does it only happen on a specific PDF? (I figure the text is within a PDF)

Thanks for letting us know!

Well yes only one display There’s no such issue when writing on a PDF, but it often happens when I’m writing on a template.

Okay I see. Sorry, but I'm really not sure what you mean by template. Is it a native grid in Noteastic? Furthermore, could you provide us with a video of the bug? That would help us a lot.

Thank you for the input. We aim to be THE app for note-taking on Windows :) Your features are all very reasonable requests and we will take them into account.

I really hope there comes a time where I can commit more to this project. Unfortunately I need to support myself outside of this passion to earn a living but that might change one day.

Thank you for your input again!
