At the moment, it’s probably best to pretend the app still doesn’t have a search tool. CollaNote’s search results are not doing that. Results are supposed to give a glimpse of what surrounds your search term so you know if you’ve found what you’re looking for. It takes too long to respond, does not highlight the results on your PDF and its display of your search results is not very useful. The new search tool still needs a lot of work. If I were to rank different apps according to how good their handwriting experience is, CollaNote will always come out last on that list (at least for now). We can’t, however, say it’s the best handwriting on the iPad. The new writing engine has slightly improved the handwriting experience in the app. So, you’ll need the paid version of the app to use them. Most of these new pens are premium features. That’s probably because I am a boring human being. The rest are just fun tools with little to no practical use. I would probably consider only the first three pens for serious note-taking. Eight of the pens use raster ink, so they pixelate when you zoom in on your notes. Maybe thirteen, if you want to acknowledge the sketch pencil as a different tool. After trying all these writing tools, CollaNote has twelve pen tools, not twenty-five. The star pen makes sense more as stickers, considering that we can’t change its colour. The 3D pens are fun and will make fun titles but different colours and styles do not make them different pen types. We were also disappointed that they also pixelate. The moment you select it, all the colours in the colour palette are no longer available for customising your pen colour. Now, all these 3D pens look the same, just with different colours and designs. I can’t write any Chinese languages so I wouldn’t know. Its smallest size is kind of big, but maybe that’s how it’s supposed to be. The water brush looks legit, but it’s another pixelating writing tool, and so is the Chinese calligraphy pen. But does that make it a completely different tool? Let us know what you think. After looking at their strokes, the pencil tool looks more concentrated. The sketch pencil felt like a pencil tool, which made us curious to know how they differ. At this point, we started wondering just how many raster ink writing tools the app has now. At least your dashed and dotted pens use vector ink.Įvery note-taking app that has a felt pen seems to have its own definition of what the pen’s properties are. ![]() You won’t use them for taking notes, but just decorating them. It’s a decorative pen, like the dashed and dotted pens. It has the same feeling when you’re writing, and it’s also in raster ink. Winter lace is easier to appreciate when it’s thicker. But, I still love it because it’s a pencil tool. It is still not vector ink, and certainly the worst pencil tool we’ve ever seen in a note-taking app. So I had to check it with the one in Apple Notes to confirm that it was indeed an odd pencil. The pencil tool felt and looked a bit funny. It even looks like it with the tapered ends and it’s very pleasant to use. The calligraphy pen, on the other hand, felt like a fountain pen. It’s definitely not a ballpoint, but we are not sure what it is. The fountain pen is slightly different from the ballpoint. The ballpoint looks and feels like a ballpoint pen you’d expect to find in a note-taking app. Do we now? We were curious to try all these twenty-five pens and we had the patience for it. According to the developers, we now have twenty-five pens in the app. We love that the app has dropped the Apple PencilKit for some vector ink pens. An old user means you actually have the app downloaded on your device before this update. The happy days of using CollaNote for free, are over. ![]() This basically means that if you are an old user, you’ll probably need to pay the $5.95 to keep using the app. Some features we already had in the app are now under the premium package: audio recording, ASMR sounds, wallpapers, etc. CollaNote doesn’t look like a premium app. ![]() However, coming in at $5.95 for old users, $8.29 for its launch price and $11.90 for its normal price will we still love it? I mean, looking at its user interface alone, would you really spend that much money on the app? Instead of getting: So, even its look didn’t bother us much because of that. We’ve always believed that CollaNote gathered so much momentum and popularity because it was a free app. Second only to Notability, which is a subscription. However, since its latest update, CollaNote 2.0 is now the second most expensive note-taking app on the market. CollaNote captured the hearts of many note-takers because it was a free app with a lot of features.
