Not the pro version. I don't recall if I subscribed or not, honestly. I don't think I did. I just love it for keeping notes. I used to have notebooks floating all over the place. Now everything is in one place.

A few months ago, I took some pics of some notes I took in college that I’d saved at my mom’s house. Today I showed those pics to a college freshman who said he’d been taking notes on his phone because he’d never taken notes before.

I find it funny that the History Department supplies are paper and envelopes, while Philosophy Department supplies are Kleenex and Advil.
