Version 5.0.3 · 2026-10-27
Flow 5 is here, and it’s ready for iPhone Duo. An infinite notebook in your pocket. It’s not just about folding, though. This is the biggest release we’ve ever done. It’s taken most of this year, and a lot of sweat, but it’s packed with the features you have asked for: templates, full PDF support, search, text labels and much more. - iPhone Duo: sketch on the outer screen, then open it up for beautifully adaptable space, any way you want to hold it - Templates: import any PDF or image as a template, including multipage planners with links, and save any notebook as a template too - Search: find anything you’ve written or drawn by hand, plus photos and PDF text. Private and on-device. -…

Method and limits

What this report can and cannot show

What a missing label means

Not yet tested. No analysis has been published for this app, so there is no method to describe for it yet. A missing label is not a clean bill of health: it means nothing has been read, not that nothing is wrong.

Limits of this report

  • A package scan is static. It identifies code and text in one Android build. It does not measure a live ad session, test a deletion request, or count the steps needed to cancel.
  • Reviews keep their sample. A review-only charge shows distinct reviewers, the share and the sample size, and is published only once it clears that label’s published threshold. Calibration labels are machine-drafted and not yet confirmed by a person.
  • Not assessed is a state. It is never a zero and never a pass.
  • A missing label is not a clean bill of health. It means the evidence did not support one, not that the app is problem-free.
Not yet human-reviewed. A human review gives an app hands-on, recorded measurements. None has been run for this app. Hands-on inspections are not yet open.
