Flow: Sketch, Draw, Take Notes

Possibilities seem nigh endless, but it requires a heck of a lot of time to master all possibilities. The available help (with videos) built in is good to help you on your way. The colour selection tool is certainly innovative, but not always intuitive; e.g. trying to find a simple collection of shades of brown when the colours shown are blueish for instance, isn’t straightforward. Built-in ruler is very helpful.

If this would be a free app, I might give it 3 stars, if it was a one time payment, I might give it 2 stars. But as a subscription app, this doesn’t even deserve 1 star.
Sorry Moleskin, you make great sketchbooks, but your app isn’t worth the price of a subscription at all. If you offer a subscription, you need to have something substantial to show for. This isn’t any better than free apps.
I’ve got no issue saying this, but asking people to pay for a subscription for this app is a scam.

I tried the paid subscription for a year and although the app has developped further it still lacks value add. It does not stick out with anything and for the functionality competitors are much more advanced. E.g.notability on notes taking or procreate on drawing.
The ability to really work with pages is still lacking after a year.
I really tried as I worked with Moleskine notebooks for years. But for notebooks, the Moleskine app is not suitable whereas Notability and GoodNotes are.

This looks like a good app but you need to pay to even try it and its just not nice to have ANOTHER app like this where you need to pay so i wouldnt download it

Don’t make me download your app if you won’t let me use it without subscribing/paying. I would have totally considered if this was clear, but not like this...

Bruhh it doesnt work when you dont pay, you couldve just set a price on whenyou open the app. But NO! You guys just want to make money, im just saying!

I’ve tried a subscription to check if this app has any purpose or value add at all. And it doesn’t.
Here is what you can’t do with Flow:
- Embed/paste pictures.
- Expand pages also vertically or to the left.
- Scroll through pages. Pageborders you can turn on are not magnetic..
- Use different papersizes.
- PDF export (and import).
- Delete pages.
- Move pages (or zoom out enough to move it with the lasso).
- Use templates for pages.
- Have timestamps for your notes.
Compared to e.g. notability the functionality of Flow is extremely poor.
The recommendations in the App Store are clearly purchased advertisements.

- Resolution: I think the resolution/quality of the templates and the pens are pretty low if you compare it to GoodNotes.
- Fluid lines: The pens are not fluid, which is necessary in these apps. Handwriting on tablet is just not as fluid compared to paper due to the texture of the glass screen and pen...
- Exporting: it would be great if you can edit in higher resolution to psd and illustrator. Choosing format (editable)pdf or jpg would also be a good feature.

App is nice,
But not worth the monthly subscription...
too bad.
Try 6 euro a year. That would already be a lot.

Notabilty and good notes offer far more functionality at a far more reasonable price.
I would rate it at max 5 euro one off and not a subscription.
Subscriptions should add value every month to the user and should not just be a milking cow for a company..

As it’s subscription based I deinstalled it directly, my default reaction towards apps with this model.

I like the app even tho it has some lag on a iPad 2018 with apple pencil.
Now, this app is subscription based so for me to justify it.... it has to bring something to the table that other apps dont have and this is where is fails.
I like the color picking system and overal layout is pretty good and clean.
I do think this subscription hype needs to stop because everyone seem to do it these days but they only focus on the money rather then a great user experience.
You can find better apps to offer way more and better functions without a subscription and i think even the free apple notepad might be a better choice then paying for a drawing app with a subscription. Now, if it was aimed at pro people and could create high res illustrations but this app doesnt come close to being a usable tool and is more for recreational use so i think a subscription is out of place.

Pretty cool, lots of room to do my notes and provides an element of art creation too

The concept is promising, nice tools and by default a very nice color scheme as well. Unfortunately there’s a lot of input lag on my 10.5” iPad Pro with Apple Pencil, which for me renders it unusable for fast writing and sketching. If the input lag was minimized to the same level as the native Apple Notes app, I might consider using this app.
