Inkflow Visual Notebook Reviews

by Jines38

I used to use InkflowVisualNotebook often when I had my iPad Air 2 which at the time recently came out so the palm rejection was fantastic and I loved the simplicity of it because it was just like writing on regular paper which I was starting to move on from that to using my iPad from writing and drawing.

However as time passed I used InkflowVisualNotebook less and less and have since then moved on with using the paper app from the company fifty-three. I use my iPad mini 5 most with my Apple Pencil and the features on paper are a lot more than what we have here on Inkflow to use for mind mapping, drawing, note taking.....

I would say I wasted my money buying the pro but at the same time no because at the time it served its purpose and I was enjoying it.

To those that want more features go find another app other than inkflow like paper. If you don’t mind the simplicity then go for inkflow.

For note taking and drawing I regularly use paper, procreate and notes plus for anyone looking for recommendations.

I had been using InkflowVisualNotebook for quite a few years, but recently, after not having it on my newer phone for awhile, I reinstalled it. Previously, I had purchased the upgrade to the full version via in-app-purchase. But now, it will not restore that upgrade. I submitted to their feedback a request to fix this, but have not heard from them.

I think in the future I’ll avoid doing upgrades from within apps, and only get full version apps if they’re sold as such. Very disappointing, to be honest.

This may be my error but is frustrating. I took notes in class and it defaulted to a previous point. I don’t know how to recover the items. It happened right after I dismissed to review. It prompted me to review again, so I am putting it as 2 stars because of the stress of lost notes. I paid for pro version.

InkflowVisualNotebook is so amazing, I love that is has everything that you need to journal, brainstorm, scrapbook etc. My only headache and frustration is that sometimes it freezes on me, and when that happens it doesn’t save my work! This is so frustrating, I don’t know how to prevent this because it randomly freezes. Hopefully this can be fixed. I also wish you could create an account to store everything and be able to access it from any of your other devices. With the correct improvements InkflowVisualNotebook can be amazing!

There are things I need to do in a hurry but this will not work with me to get the job done. It has symbols that doesn’t seem to function according the style of writing. It will do in a rush but some times I’m not in a hurry. For example, I have written done a five letter word, but one of the letters is out of order. Instead of being able to go right to that letter, erase it and place the right letter there, I have to erase all the letters after that to now enter the right one. That can be most unsettling because it breaks the train of thought. Done.

I like the simplicity of InkflowVisualNotebook and tools for my doodles and notes, illustrations.
But so many times, I lost the data. When I close InkflowVisualNotebook , little “wait” star turns and turns for a long time and eventually, like five minutes later, I have to force close InkflowVisualNotebook . Then the last added data is not usually saved.
I wish I can resize the eraser! The feature to erase a certain color is cool.

Love InkflowVisualNotebook for coloring, note taking or doodling. However it’s not the best for bullet journaling unless you like it very minimal. Stickers don't work well and the photos you import need to be the perfect size because they cannot be edited in InkflowVisualNotebook . That is the main thing that makes me hesitant about recommending it to friends.

Haven’t found a way to efficiently include PDFs either.

Of several apps that I have used over time, this is the one I turn to most. It is easy to select or modify ink color, pen, and width. I like the color / all eraser feature, selection tool, and text features. I wish it had layers support.

I’ve been looking for a writing app that lets me handwrite my notes. Presenting, Inkflow! You can write with a fountain pen, a regular pen or a highlighter. The highlighter actually paints behind the other ink. You have infinite colors and opacity. The only thing it needed was PDF import, but they just came up with a new app (Noteflow+) that has that feature. I got that app and loved it even more (*****). And, by the way, their support was prompt and when I contacted them, they answered all my questions.

InkflowVisualNotebook is what I needed to jot down quick notes, ideas, and journal with the ability to also insert images; simple and quick, like a real notebook!

There’s a few things I’d like to see considered in future updates; ability to password lock journals, adjust eraser size, and different line & grid sizes for the stationary would be awesome~! Thank you for creating InkflowVisualNotebook!

At first it felt limiting because pages are fixed in size, but you can lasso and shrink selections to “make the page bigger.” I don’t think there’s a way to cut and paste selections on one page to a different one, or rearrange pages . You’re kind of locked in to that scrap book metaphor which is unfortunate. Lots you can do with it as is though.

by YetiBettySpaghetti

I mostly like InkflowVisualNotebook, however for 9.99, I’m finding the features somewhat limiting. There aren’t a lot of brushes. And I cannot for the life of me figure out how to copy and paste… I want to duplicate an item and I can’t. The instructions say something about the context menu, but, there’s no explanation about what the context menu is or looks like.

Here’s why...

I tried the free version, and within minutes decided to download the plus version. I feel like the tools handle better than on other apps and I like the simplicity of it all. I really think this is a good app with potential for being great.

Really, ONE thing would make this better: make data sync over the cloud so it’s available across devices. I’m using InkflowVisualNotebook for lots of things (including grad school) and it would be great to add a note or quick appointment to my established books on my phone rather than having to lug out my ipad or remember to write it down later. Please?

The design and instruction pages look very poorly designed and might turn you off, but try InkflowVisualNotebook by all means. It is absolutely fantastic for color boards, spreadsheets, projects, and collages. No other apps compare. I’ve tried them all for design projects and this one wins in every category.

Products from this developer are very good. Exited to use with my new iPad Pro and pencil. I enjoy these apps. I've been using them for a long time and always update and upgrade.

Working with Inkflow can be so much like painting, which, because of trying things in InkflowVisualNotebook , led me to my first, acrylic-on-canvas painting.
I honestly forget to use inkflow, but I’m resolved to make it a daily h@bit in the present new year.

I'm pretty happy with InkflowVisualNotebook. I just wish it included an eraser in the basic version since that's a pretty basic thing. I'll likely upgrade so I can try different interior design sketches and color palettes over pictures of my rooms.

I have been using the free version for a while. It works so well and is very simple. I love the features of it and am now deciding to buy the full version after 3 years of great experiences.

by Cassandra1964

I love using InkflowVisualNotebook. The Plus version is incredibly useful and I love the color options, the stationary options, and how easy it is to use InkflowVisualNotebook . I only wish they had a feature where you could create folders with all your different files!

by Wordster2you

I have very few apps and this one I use the most! Best for quick notes, drawing ideas, and drawing on top of photos! You can save several notes on separate notepads. Easy to use! I have never had an issue and would highly recommend InkflowVisualNotebook!

by Starbuckkitty

InkflowVisualNotebook used to be easy to use, but after the last update I lost all my saved info and am being prompted to upgrade, even though i had already purchased the upgrade. The controls are now frustrating and none of the functions I enjoyed are there any more. Save your time and find something else.

by 3MacMinis

Very odd and frustrating non-standard controls/symbols. Still haven't figured out how to delete a page. Plus version looks great, but not if it's as frustrating as this. Big potential, but needs better documentation.

I wish the iCloud sync worked. Lost everything when transferred to a new phone. Everything was there but when I touched a notebook to choose app would crash. & when I uninstalled & reinstalled it was all gone.

by THEDECORATOROFCAKES

I love that I can write down notes quickly and I don’t have to run and get a pen and paper because by the time I do that I forget what to write down. I’m a cake decorator a write my ideas for cakes down all the time in InkflowVisualNotebook I love it

by Vidottsen

My wife and I use this in the the class we team teach. That way we can have things already re-written or write thoughtsed expressed in the class.

by Lovellylennon

InkflowVisualNotebook is great! I've used it for a year and a half for note taking and line heart in my digital art! I have no regrets for investing in the premium version, it's always bugles and hasn't failed me yet! 💕

by Apple93551

I depend on InkflowVisualNotebook is very useful when you want to jot down quick notes when you don’t have a piece of paper or a pen within your reach

by Cheska428

I use it to scrapbook pictures together and I wish we can delete empty pages but overall I really like InkflowVisualNotebook .
