User reviews
I don't have an iPad. I was disappointed that I couldn't use Goodnotes. But then, I signed up for Flexcil's early access! I've watched YouTube videos about Flexcil on iPad. When I saw the early access sign up on Google Play, I experienced that oh-so-thankful feeling. Thank you Flexcil!
Font.... I need some fonts..
