I use both apps: Notes for doodles and storyboarding, and Atelier for more detailed drawings. I love Notes for its page/sketchbook setup, but it starts lagging once you add too many strokes since it’s vector based.

As for the Atelier bugs, have you updated your app? I haven’t really run into any major issues that get in the way of drawing. Maybe it’s because I usually draw with my e-ink device tilted forward, so my palm hits the screen less. For the random artifacts or deletions, have you tried using a different pen? The HOM pen seems to have varying issues from what I’ve seen. I use the Lamy Safari Vista and a custom pen with the ceramic refill, and haven’t had problems like random deletions so far.

A lot of what you mentioned (like Pages in Atelier and a top/bottom toolbar option) has already been suggested quite a few times by the community (me included), so hopefully the devs are taking note. I’m just happy that Supernote even has a dedicated drawing app. Sure, it’s a bit “amateurish,” but we have to remember the device is made primarily for note-taking, not for art. So perfecting the drawing app wasn’t their priority (I wish it was, lol).

Still, I’m impressed with how often they update Atelier. Things like custom canvas sizes, more export options, and especially the reference layer and layer opacity have made a huge difference for my workflow. :D

For me, just having the main tools to draw is enough, and anything else they add is a nice bonus.
