Great, if you don’t need dependability

I got this because I was tired of using OneNote for Mac and wanted something that I could draw in (the promised iPad app was a big selling point). I’ve had nothing but issues with it. If you have any sort of hefty noteload (med school) you’ll have to create a different notebook for each week (sometimes even day) to prevent the app from lagging while you are typing notes in lecture. This means it will take a lot of extra loading time to switch between weeks and notebooks. Don’t bother trying to fit anatomy pics and notes in one notebook either. The app is supposed to save/backup on its own but it doesn’t. I’ve lost a few pages here and there, and a few classmates have complained that it doesn’t save what they typed in lecture all the time but I just kind of took that with the good. However, today I lost a week’s worth of notes because it apparently isn’t autosaving regularly. The only solution support offers is that you should have the most current version (I do/did). All in all, I like that you can use arrows and drawing tool but it’s brought me to tears (real, frustrated, tears) more than once which makes the app not worth $5.
