Only wish I could save to Photos

MaximeThePipou

This app is really useful and really cool. I’m excited about this. My only problem is how I can’t save my notes as pictures to make them easy to share. “Create archive” is confusing and sending them in an email didn’t work and icloud and all that, I just don’t even know what I’m doing. Having the ability to use these notes as /pictures/ would be incredibly intuitive and would make the app much more usable.

Not useful

Cannot name documents. Have to kludge tags and annotations to give docs names. Stuffs three obscurely names files into Dropbox for every image. Without a desktop client to reassociate the tags and annotation stored in the .json file, there is not much value outside the iOS app. Not a great app. Deleted.

Not what I expected (but still good)

This app is great. Currently, I'm using it as a cloud service to store all my notes for school. The only reason I'm giving three stars? Crashes. This apps experiences a lot of them. When you're inputting a large amount of things at one time (take school notes, for example) the app seems to crash on quite a regular interval, which is not ideal in any situation. Do take note it doesn't take the straight image, the images are run through filters that you can choose. Also, the app does not work well when using different writing utensils (pencil & pen) on one surface.

Great but...

There's no paper line detection. All I have my notes on is lined paper and when it's turned into a PDF there are a bunch of black lines where light blue should go, I just wish they would disappear. Oh and also, why is it that when you take your picture and you edit it, it doesn't just stay like that? What's up with that?

Not at all what I was expecting

Very unintuitive app. Does absolutely nothing but take a picture and change the background. There's no way to change anything else on the app. Waste of money. The video is totally misleading. That menu is not even accessible.

Evernote sync

I currently meet a problem that I can no longer sync my files to evernote. The error message says that "Evernote notebook could not be started (no information available for this error)" I tried to turn Evernote function off and then reauthorized Carbo, but this didn't work. I have experienced this problem for a period of time and the recent update didn't solve it. I really appreciate your team for bringing such excellent app and I hope it could being better and better. Four star for the sync problem and I'm looking forward having this function back.

Great App, needs iCloud Drive support

I use this app to capture my whiteboard drawings all the time. It's got a great balance of capture and editing features. I can write on my whiteboard, and then tweak the images later on. Apple Pencil support is great for this app. It also supports all of the latest iOS features ... Except for iCloud Drive. I can't take my drawings and store them in iCloud Drive or other storage providers. I hope they add this in.

still needs work....

Mr. Iowa

great idea, put needs more options for drawing : pens / paper. considering what you get for the price, app should be 1.99.

Over priced

For the apps abilities to create png files. Other functions are very basic. App is over priced.

Very good app but exporting will be a problem

This app can prove very helpful. I have some old books that are not available in digital format. I can import some pages using Carbo and then read them and also underline and make marginal notes. This means that I can take the books with me and also that my underlining and notes does not have to damage the original book. I think that I am going to like this app; however, I have found one problem. There is an option for exporting pages (it is called "archiving"), but not of the options work. The archiving is basically just an "open in" setup, but since the file type is *.carbo, the files won't be read by any of my apps. So, the app *can* export, but none of the apps on my device will accept them.
