Below are the improvements and features in version 3:

  • Smoother handwriting. Better inking. Just a better handwriting experience overall. I put the below screenshots in hi-def so that you can see the inking:

  • No more database! All flat files. Better yet, they are SVGs so you can view (and share) them in any web browser.
  • Full Dropbox syncing. That is, at any time, the dedicated Dropbox folder for Notes Plus (currently predefined as Dropbox/NotesPlus/Sync) mirrors exactly the file contents of the app.
  • PDF import (including an “Open in” option within other PDF apps) and annotation.

PDF Open-in Notes Plus

  • Image support.
  • Better typed text handling with full-page text canvas. Tap on text mode and start typing without worrying about textbox size or location (textboxes are still supported).

Text Edit Mode

  • Better close-up writing experience with more control and space, yet retaining the best feature of auto-advance in the current Notes Plus.

Close-up box

  • We will have the side navigation popover like before, no shelf (I found this too disruptive).

Navigation Panel

  • Handwriting Recognition

    Hi bought notes plus and hand writing option, wow expensive for an app, 2 days ago and tried at work taking notes in a staff meeting. No bullets!! An essential tool for a note taking app. Please put it into 3.1. Will go back to notability until you implement bullets. Sorry!!!

      Hi Dave,

      We provide some simple bullet points, try to long press on * button from Extended Keyboard to see bullet symbols while you’re on Text mode. We’ll be adding more bullet styles to ease this process.

      Thanks,

      Hi Franck,

      We don’t have an exact time for the release of version 3.1. This version is still being tested by our testing team and we are still struggling with bug fixes and adding some new features based on the feedback from our users. Hopefully we can make it happen in less than 2 months. I’ll notify you when the update arrives to App Store.

      Thanks,
      -Duy

          Hi Robert,

          We’re sorry for letting you wait so long for the update. It was just our tentative estimation, in reality things vary a lot due to a variety of reasons that it could affect our estimation. Please keep in mind that our team will only release new version when it works perfectly. We’d rather spending more time to work on this version instead of releasing a buggy update.

          Thanks,
          -Duy
