I’ve tried out Muse, Defter, and others -– and still prefer ZoomNotes. Not the most intuitive design and interface, but the developer is constantly adding new and useful features.
Separate purchase on Mac and iOS totaling about $20 one time.

Muse now has a MacOS app, which would give it a leg up to me.
Of course, Muse is a more mature application than DN, and its Mac version attests to that. But the differences don’t stop there. After testing DN for a few days, it still feels like in beta phase, not because there are bugs, but because key options are still missing (vg: being able to draw on the canvas). I think the developers should be given time to continue to evolve the application.

From my point of view interface design is an issue that affects the function, although sometimes we may think that it only concerns aesthetics. I have tested ZoomNotes for a while, I recognize that it is powerful, but I can’t handle it. You said it yourself: its design and interface is not very intuitive. And I add that it is very ugly!

For this type of application, I definitely agree with you. One thing I find super intriguing about Defter Notes is that it’s the first “spatial” application I’ve seen where you can freely rotate the canvas. It sounds like such a little detail, but it really makes it feel like you’re manipulating a large physical piece of paper existing in its own space, rather than a two-dimensional canvas mediated by the computer.
