CourseNotes App Reviews

Good: - the combination of text and sketches and to-dos - virtually uncomplicated and quick But not well thought through: - sketch area is too small - pictures imported from photo lib cant be rotated - brush size is not remembered (default size always again) - eraser size too small and size not remembered (as above) Hope developers will follow up as I guess this concept has potential.

4 Stars for a really good product. It changes a lot and seriously makes school life easier. Actually I would give you 5 Stars but then there is no motivation left to build in these features. These features are still missing : one to do list for all subjects, a keyboard for maths (if that is possible), more subject icons, ability to zoom in and out the inserted pictures and please redo the lexicon because the idea is great, but the permutation is average. Thanks for this app

...I was a wasted of Money! Till today it is not possible to record audio notes, to draw full screen sketches like Notes Plus, to insert mathematic formulas and so on. To work with PDFs not possible! I dont know where this should be useful, I think it is still faster to write with a stylus as with the keyboard. Good bye course notes! There are better apps and the developers there are always listening to their customers.

Not that handy as it seams. Working on PDFs is the most important feature for students. It s not possible with coursenotes. So ve wasted may money!

Hi there, Nixe Beautiful made application! Good ideas for school using and even a Mac application ! Well done guys. Ok but in the app there is still potential. You should add: - add more pictures in one note ( to adjust the position, text wrap, adjust the size of in application picture, by clicking original a screen filling size, paint in pictures,crop taken pictures) - add voice recording ( because my teacher sometimes tAlk important things for the next test too fast ) I look forward to a small update !!! Keep on doing guys you make good stuff !!!!

I am a teacher. The works well for me. I use for planning and keeping records. Sync by way of iCloud would make perfect for my purposes.

I use this app nearly every day at the university. I like the way that notes are organised (in sessions, per Subject and per date). A real useful fact is that youre able to create an unordered list (which is so important at school!) My wishes for the next update: - free drawings in the text (e.g. Boxes that you can drag free) - important: Backup via Dropbox ! The eMail-"Backup"-feature is really old-fashioned.

Cant use finger to write/add stuff (which would be nice) iCloud missing Rest is Nice and Works Only These two Things are missing To Make it Awesome !

I was 7 days into my iPad experience and was going to return it. As nice as it was, I couldnt find anything that it really did to bring me value. So, the day before i was going to return it, I downloaded this app, and hit a lecture on campus. I LOVED IT! This app actually tipped my decision! It was really easy to learn how to use - I figured it all out just before the lecture started. The ability to email notes out and insert images is pretty wonderful. I wish: A) i could bold/italicize/underline text B) insert drawings directly into the notes as opposed to attaching Them to notes. I couldnt figure out how to increase the size of the sketching pad. C) ability to use google to find things instead of wikipedia only D) it would be very cool if I could draw lines in my notes to connect things. Tables and bullet points would be super cool too. Overall, probably the best app Ive downloaded. Like I said, its why I kept my iPad.

I love the idea behind having a note session with multiple notes within it as it makes my notes much easier to navigate since each one has its own title. I find when I take notes by hand, I dont divide things like this, so it is much more efficient. Also, the lexicon is an excellent feature. The only thing I would like improved would be to resize the drawing area as the last reviewer mentioned.

When attaching a photo to the "sketch note" function and then writing notes beside it, or even drawing a brand new sketch within the sketch note function, there is no way of viewing that photo unless youre on the iPad. I emailed my class lecture along with my drawings to my hotmail and the only thing i could see was the text; The photo was replaced with a grey box. I am VERY disappointed. Edit: If you attach photos into the application then send it out, the photos wont be see on hotmail. However, if you email the photos without using this app then hotmail can recognize it. I also tried loading it on my macbook and it doesnt show up. If you use the app then the photos ONLY show up on your iPad.

This is a good application with a minimum of bells and whistles. It works well, and takes very little time to learn. It would help to have a search function. Tracking the contents of notes would be easy with a few of them, but a student who relies on this application for note-taking in class will wish to search for something in them sometime.

I do indeed use this app for school, I write all of my notes in it. It is a simple app with no formatting apart from one: bullet points! The feature isnt 100% as smooth as it could be, but it is the ONLY app out there that I have found that lets you insert a bullet without digging through menu options, and allows a hierarchy of bullets rather than just one level. This feature alone makes me give this app 5 stars... I have spent probably close to $50 on other apps looking for one with a feature like this and havent found one anywhere else. If this app developer removed the school theme and the folder system in this app wasnt so strictly based on date, I would buy this app again. PS, I like the default color of the page you write notes on, its very pleasant : P

Ive tried a few paid and free note taking apps, to use in school, and this is by far the best. Its layout is very practical and user friendly for different classes/subjects and the drawing feature is better than others as well. The ability to purchase the add ons like the periodic table and French verbs is really nice too. Only things that would make it better: - if the undo button let you undo more than the last thing - you could make the drawing area larger - when you open a sessions note, the ability to go back without saving any changes Overall though, those are minor things Id change and they definitely dont hinder the usefulness of this app. Definitely the best paid note taking app for iPads. A must buy for school.

I like the organizational capabilities but there are quite a few things that I think need improvement. Theres no rich text editing so I cant bold or underline important points. The bullets feature is not very intuitive. When using bullets, if you type more than one line within a bullet point the second line is not indented so it makes it difficult to read when studying. Plus, if you try to indent the second line, the layout is different in the edit view versus when viewing it in the notes window so it creates weird gaps in the bullet point. To indent a bullet you cant just press tab, you have to press the bullet button which is on the top left of the screen. Its just not very efficient but I think with future updates it could be really useful.

I like this app - Ive been taking all my notes with it, and its pretty good. Id like to see some improvements - color highlighting of the text (right now it only allows to highlight the title), adding multiple images, resizing them and being able to type below them (otherwise it gets messy cause it will only let you type next to the image). I love the back- up reminder - its very useful!

This is by far the best note-taking app for students

This is a nice notes app and the design is fantastic. I bought this app because I wanted to use it to organize the main ideas and/or summaries of notes/highilights from my readings (ibooks/kobo books). However, I noticed that this coursenotes crushes many times especially when I try to copy and paste in some notes. This fix will make this app a 5 stars and everybody will enjoy it. Please fix that problem.

How do I add drawings? Im confused...

Very good for taking notes in class
