Comments on Freenotes - Notes Taking & PDF for Android

★★★★★ Pradeep Mardi Official · Jun 10, 2026

Superb. Pen latency and pressure sensitivity are awesome. Some improvement is required. Add Calligraphy pen 3d shapes (cube, cuboid, cone, cylinder etc.) Insert table option add more stickers like biology, chemistry, physics etc. Add Hindi font for text recognition Select Text highlights/underline/ translate/ link (Link another document, link this document, link to web page) Smart dark theme (different colors like yellow, black and white, inverted color) Comment tools 1000% - 2000% zoom

★★★★★ Hoang Phuc (Hans) · Jul 4, 2026

I hope to see two new features added to Android: custom handwriting replacement rules and a scribble-to-delete gesture. Custom replacement rules would let users map their own handwritten symbols or abbreviations to predefined characters or words, making real-time handwriting recognition much more accurate for math, science, and personal shorthand. A scribble-to-delete gesture by drawing lines over a word would also make editing much faster and more intuitive. LOVE APP!!!

I have this app on my Huawei Mate pad SE11. "Free notes" where's the free in this app? I have to pay just to get good features. And I can only great 3 notebooks without the subscription. Even other note apps give you 10 notebooks for free. Again, where's the free in this app??

★★☆☆☆ Lemzkie Jondonero · Jul 3, 2026

The real-time handwriting beautification is really good. Over all the app is so good, but it came with a price now. I just want to take a note, why do I need to watch ads to get notes? It's not FREE notes anymore:(
