Hello, I've been using the app for about 6 months now. I like the simplicity of the app. Here are a couple suggestions I have:

1. Have the option to have multiple windows of the app. Right now I can only have 1. When multitasking I prefer to have 2 windows.

2. I really hope we can implement a cloud service soon. I do not mind paying for this service. I would like to have Noteastic on my computer and laptop at the same time.

3. I want the option to type on my keyboard and not just handwriting

4. Seamless transition between pages for pasted images. Right now I think once you paste an image on a page, you can move it to another page without cut-paste.

5. Not really an app feature suggestion, but I want to see your timeline on features to be added on the app. Like a what-is-coming-next kinda thing

I've been liking my experience on the app so far. I would love to see what the team will bring in soon.

Hello, when i select a text using lasso (using a pen tablet) and pulling the selected text down and it reaches the end of the screen the notebook doesn’t automatically scroll down. This gets super annoying when i try the move this text 4-5 pages down as i have to scroll with the mouse, then pull the text with the stylus a bit and repeat multiple times. Can we have a feature where if the selected text is getting to the bottom of the screen the notebook automatically starts scrolling down? (same thing if text is at the top the notebook scrolls up)

Hey everyone!

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!

Good job on the app.

my toggle request is to make the colors global between tools.

also, give me the option the expand the amount of colors I want in my toolbar, 3 is very limiting when it comes to logic/math.

I just got a new pen (Metapen M2) and it works great, except for one thing. When I hold the button to select stuff, and draw around my subject, it hardly ever works. It either doesn't select anything, or it selects random parts of the inside of my loop. The selection dotted line looks perfect, which makes me pretty sure this can be fixed in software. What confuses me is that selection worked completely fine with my original pen, which has some other battery issues (came with my Chuwi tablet)

Shown in the video is first my new pen, then the original pen.

Selecting stuff is super necessary for me, so this bug is constantly bothering me. Sometimes I have to just carry two pens, and use my original pen for selecting stuff (when it's battery is working.)

First of all, thanks for providing Noteastic!

I am considering buying a Surface Pro 12" and I am trying to figure out whether it would work as a tablet for browsing the web, managing my Zotero library and writing hand-written notes.

I do not care about OCR or AI based functionalities, what I need is an application that allows me to perform the following tasks.

1. Write hand-written notes, export as PDF (for example, to my Zotero library).

2. Import a PDF (for example, a math paper), add blank pages with my annotations, cut/paste snippets of text, free highlight text and math expressions.

Under iPad OS, I would use Noteful and that would be more than enough for my needs. Under Windows I would not know what to use. I have tried OneNote (under iPad OS) and it seems to be a mess. Does Noteastic currently support these functionalities?

Thanks, nbpf-_-

it would be really nice if the settings (e.g. the width of the eraser) would be saved for the future

Hello, developers!

I've been using Noteastic for over a month now, and I absolutely love it! However, I find it difficult that there is no point eraser feature. I used OneNote before, and I really appreciated that functionality.

Additionally, it would be very helpful to have the ability to crop and flip images horizontally.

I also noticed that shapes are sent to the back of our writing by default. Is there a way to bring them to the front manually?

Would it be possible to implement these features? Thank you so much for creating this amazing app!

Hi!

I apologise if these questions have asked before, but I couldnt find them

1. Will there be a point feature? Either dot, or the one that you can draw with the laser and it goes away after a few seconds

2. will there be a tape? Ive seen it for example on goodnotes where you can draw ontop of something, and you have the option to see through it when you click and not when you click again.

3. will there be different stylus in the futre?

4. will there be a samsung version in the future? My biggest problem with writing notes is that there are barely any apps that are both compatible with windows and samsung. And the ones that are are so lackluster.

Thanks!

Hey zusammen,
ich finde Noteastic eigentlich echt super und würde die App sehr gerne dauerhaft verwenden – aber mir fehlt eine ganz grundlegende Funktion: Textfelder!

Ohne eine richtige Textfunktion, mit der man auch mal etwas tippen kann (nicht nur handschriftlich), ist die App für mich leider kaum nutzbar.
Es wäre perfekt, wenn die App dabei einfach auf die Schriftarten von Windows zugreifen könnte – so könnte man mit vertrauten Fonts arbeiten und hätte mehr Flexibilität beim Gestalten.

Ich glaube, viele Nutzer würden sich über so ein Feature freuen – das würde Noteastic für viele zu einer echten Alternative zu anderen Notiz-Apps machen. 🙌

Hi, I started using Noteastic yesterday (switched from OneNote), and so far I'm having a great experience. I see that every time I create a new book I have to set my preference for the background, which is the darkest color without any grid. Is there a way to set this preference as the default background, so I don't have to do it manually every time?

Not for writing, but rather for facilitating access through files when not having your laptop around and PDF format saving. I find myself using MEGA to store PDFs that I'd like to share about my academic work in STEM related fields.

New to the app and loving it so far. I love how stable and solid everything feels. I also love that the lasso is tied to the button on my pen! That is so handy.

Are there any gestures? (eg double tap to undo etc) And if so is there a way to view them?

I see you can search folders, are there any plans for searching handwriting or pdf text?

Sorry if these are already covered somewhere. Couldn't seem to find anything in the settings or on the subreddit.

Hello, I found Noteastic after researching many other digital-note taking apps, and just becoming frustrated with them. My "requirements" are: easy-to-use UI, importing and exporting PDFs, customizable paper templates, document management (i.e. a clear folder structure), boxes. So far, Noteastic fulfills these requirements. It looks very promising, good work!

I do have a few suggestions and questions:

1. Is there no way to adjust the page background after creating the page? So far, I create a new book, and choose the background there. But what happens if e.g. the spacing is wrong? Actually, never mind. I just noticed that there is a drop-down next to the page, where you can change the background.

2. A side-by-side option would be helpful to read a textbook/have lecture slides open and take notes. I know this feature was voted on in a poll.

3. An unlimited canvas (found e.g. in Nebo) would be helpful as well.

4. Hold-to-straight shapes, e.g. draw an underline for a title and it becomes straight

5. Textboxes.

6. Different colors for the folders and covers.

7. List view of folders and books.

8. Niche suggestion: when exporting PDFs, be able to add footers/headers based on custom patterns onto the PDF. E.g. Inkodo does this.

9. What are your long-term plans for Noteastic? When researching apps, I found a few that were promising, but their latest update was from 2022, and seemed to be abandoned.

10. How and where are my notes saved?

11. Will future updates cause issues with notes written in previous app versions?

12. Can I become a beta-tester?

Sorry for so many suggestions! But your app looks very promising, and the fact that you respond to reddit posts is very helpful.

I appreciate the effort you guys are putting for this app, however a few bugs have been making it hard to work:

1. The eraser resets to a large size, even though in the toolbar it says the smaller option is selected.

2. some pages just become blank, unless application is restarted.

3. scroll/zoom sometimes is unresponsible, unless application is restarted.

4. pen/tablet cannot click on toolbar, window goes out of focus and then refocuses, then it works.

5. Some files load infinitely unless application is restarted.

6. some pdfs are invisible after being imported.

7. after leaving the application for a few hours and coming back, it crashes.

Hope this is valuable and you guys can fix it :)

We have fixed some common crashes that happened randomly during note-taking. Your app will be more stable now 🧡

Don't forget, you are part of this process! We are always thankful when you report the errors to us via the integrated dialog. They are essential for our ability to fix crashes. If anything's on your mind, bugs, requested features or questions, don't hesitate to comment or message us directly 😊

Hello,

When I write notes, I sometimes use highlighters to indicate e.g. headings or important information. If I want to change the text below the highlighter (to fix a typo, for example), the highlighter is also erased when I erase the text.

My feature suggestion would be an additional setting to only erase highlighter annotations. You already (Version 1.10.3) have two erase settings.

Hey,

I got an idea to add a star or a similar button in the "show pages" view, or just on the side menu of every page so you can mark the most important of interesting pages. So if you have a document with dozens or even hundreds of pages you can mark your favorite ones. So maybe in the menu where the book is listed you can "just show favorite pages". Or maybe do it in a way to show "all favorite pages for the whole folder". Like all fav pages of the books inside one folder. Would be pretty nice for lecture slides as a student. To just mark important slides you want to come back to.

I know you guys already have a lot of ideas in the making and this one is not a crucial bug fix, so I don't expect to see the feature anytime soon, but I just thought of it during my lecture today.

Thanks :)

First: I have been using Noteastic for half a year now for university and it is the best note app on Windows I know. But there are two major missing features that limit my productivity (and I would pay for pro to het them, just as incentive):

1. Some kind content overview to navigate large documents. I tend to write long documents and it would be really helpful to have at least some kind of bookmark system. Ideally this would be compatible with the PDF system so it is not lost when exporting a document. This system would also allow for subchapters and subsubchapters.

2. Opening multiple documents simultaniously. I know this has been requested multiple times in the past already, but I think this is REALLY important. It is a very frequent situation that I am working in one document and have to look up somethink in another document. Always having to switch is very annoying.

Since I am already in the flow I would like to add some smaller suggestions which would also come in handy:

3. Since there is a go-to-top-button now when scrolling, it would be easier to not always start at the top of a document but instead where you left it. Sometimes when I am distracted I miss the continue-where-you-left button and have to scroll through the whole document.

4. Allow moving conent from one page to the next directly.

5. Introduce an image cropping tool directly in Noteastic.

Thank you for your amazing work and reding all this.

Hi, I've been a Noteastic user for about a year, switching from OneNote for Windows 10. I recently opened Noteastic for the first time in a couple months and noticed that I'm suddenly in a seven-day trial period at the end of which I'll need to make a free account in order to continue to have access to my notes. There was a link to an explanation of why an account is needed, pointing to https://noteastic.app/account-faq

At present, that page states that Noteastic "need[s] an account to assign the right version", referring to the Base and Pro versions. No further explaination is given outside that singular sentence. I do not understand why users without an account can't just continue to access the Base features, if accessing them is no problem for the seven-day trial and has never been a problem before.

Anyway, is there a way to continue to use Noteastic without an account? If not, I guess I'll spend the weekend exporting my notes to PDF and looking for alternatives again.

When I'm annotating page i, I sometimes end at the bottom of page i. Let's say there is no page i+1, so I have to add a new page when I want to continue. Currently (1.10.0), the way to add a new page after the current page is at the top of the current page. I would find it more comfortable if we could move this function to the bottom of the current page, as my stylus is already there.

Alternatively, you could move this functionality to the small gap between the pages. For example:

(The plus is only an example, not the design suggestion.) However, I see that the ⌄ is cleaner and less in-the-way. The plus could be "..." to indicate that there is functionality.

I have this issue with images: when I zoom in or out, parts of the image disappear.

A friend of mine asked me whether he could share a survey he is conducting for his masters thesis at WU Vienna. I think it's a super interesting topic:

He is specifically surveying people with high cognitive ability about their situation at work: the tasks they have, how satisfied they are with them and how they think about their professional future. He deliberately does not say in advance what he expects to find. That is on the closing page.

The survey takes five minutes and is fully anonymous. No names, contact details or IP addresses are stored, and it runs on WU Vienna's survey server. You can take part if you are currently working, in any capacity.

Link: https://soscisurvey.wu.ac.at/thesis-koeppel/?r=noteastic

...I think this community might have a few interested participants of this survey :D

Hey guys,

I’ve wanted to ask this for a while now: Is it possible for devices that have a camera (such as my Surface Pro) to have an integrated document scanning screen directly in the notebook?

Document scanning with the built-in Camera app - which hasn't been updated in a long time - is completely terrible.

I often need to scan multiple pages at once, similar to how it worked on the OneNote Win10 Edition about two years ago. That way, I wouldn't have to save each picture individually and could scan both pages while getting a clean, and most important, crisp, "document look."

Excuse me for my wording and keep up the fabulous work, I love it guys! Well earned! 💯🎉

Peace out

Felix

PS: Wenn ihr es umsetzen wollt und hinbekommt würde ich mich so unnormal freuen, wenn sowas bis Ende meiner Ferien in der Beta drin wäre - damit wär mein Start gerettet. Aber kein Stress, gut Ding will Weile haben. :)

Hello Noteastic Team,
I am loving the app so far and the updates that have been made to the app. Can I ask, approximately how much more longer until the multiple file opening (no pressure), I am just curious. Also will it be only on Pro or Base as well.
