I absolutely love this app and how much it has helped with my studies. I had been searching for a note-taking app that was both affordable and packed with useful features, and this app exceeded my expectations. The interface is clean and easy to use, making it simple to keep all my notes organized. It has everything I need for studying, and it has made my learning process much more efficient. I use it every day, and it has become an essential part of my study routine. I highly recommend it to students or anyone looking for a reliable and budget-friendly note-taking app!Also i would like to recommend to have the real time handwriting beautification font selection option easily accessible.Also a pen option with flawless-ness, smooth like the pen in apple notes. I have tried changing settings to get the best smoothness but nothing actually made it like the pen in apple notes.
Best note taking app on iPad

As a university student, I use FreeNotes everyday for lecture notes, PDF annotations, and math, and it handles everything really well.The customization for pens and tools is excellent, and the simple folder-based organization keeps things clean and distraction-free. I also like that there’s no forced sorting system. I can manage my notes the way I prefer.I switched to Notability mainly for handwritten text search and syncing, and I did use those features, but it made me feel less in control and sometimes concerned about data usage. I eventually came back because FreeNotes feels much more intuitive and focused. Now that handwritten text search is available here too, it has almost everything I need.Honestly, it feels like the best note-taking app on iPad, especially considering it’s free. Exporting and sharing notes is quick, and I actually prefer that over automatic syncing.
Best Notes and pdf app for a reasonable price

I’ve been using this app as my primary app for my school’s pdf viewing and annotation work and needless to say this is the most promising app I found on App Store and this app has been improving constantly in the past year. I’m encouraging you to buy the lifetime membership as it worths so much to students.
Best app

This is literally the best app I used. It keeps everything organized and I like the structure and features of it. My friends who use other devices ask me about this and they want to have this app in them if possible. Excellent app! I am usually very picky but I recommend this 100%!
