Needed something different from OneNote

I really like this. Though, it seems like the writing is buggy and doesn't track some ink as I write. I hope they fix this. I really like using this as a handwriting notebook while I use OneNote during my lectures for typing up stuff. Please continue to update this. I finally found a Notebook app that I enjoy.

Awesome for notes

I've wanted to like OneNote.. I've tried so many times. This is so great! simple, clean, intuitive. The UX stays out of the way. the way multiple pages works feels like a note pad. Importing from office lenses, a 'scan' of my written notes, import it to a PAGE and I can continue where I was. Export it as a full PDF after. IMHO, this is better for learning notes. Class notes, journals, ect. I really like this so far.

Suggestion

I enjoyed working with it however if I could open an already saved PDF in the program I liked it even more as it let me work with all of my note quite freely

Great design, needs some work

The concept is amazing, but it could do better with a little more customization options.

Buggy, Incomplete and Wonderful

Needs a lot of work but nonetheless one of the most promising and useful pen-centric programs you can get for your Surface. Really wish MS would 'un-garage' this one and make it a for-real app.

Great app

I haven't use other drawing programs, but here are my feelings with this. The app has a simple interface but is powerful enough for basic sketching. The lines look interesting and response to pressure well, so it's a huge pleasure to draw with it, compared to for instance OneNote. The erase is also very cool. It erases or shortens your strokes, instead of putting blanks on your paper (like a real eraser), so I feel confident when I draw because the erase will correct any mistakes that I may make. My only complaint is there is no installer version. I prefer to own the software, knowing that I can use the software to open my work in the future whenever I want, rather than renting it from the Windows Store. Yes I know it's easy to download from the Store, but people who are serious about using this software should be able to download an installer.

Useless for external graphic pens

I use a Wacom Intous and not a screen-based pen, and this app is useless for that because you can't see the cursor when you hover over
