[@baltgames1]

Great Boox! Keep developing, we believe in your company!

[@matthewroloff5095]

This was literally every quality of life feature I've wanted for the Note Air 3C! The biggest thing I've been missing is easily converting handwriting in notes to text without having to constantly bring up the text box and keyboard. Thank you BOOX!

[@slydog7131]

What devices is update V3.5.3 available for?

[@hrdcpy]

I’m not currently a BOOX user, but I can appreciate your dedication to creating a beautifully minimalistic UI and UX.

[@pasodeto78]

I have a Note air 3c and I'm still on version 3.5.1!

[@Plush07]

Great features! Thank you! We love Onyx Boox ❤️

[@romulenrising]

One feature that I think boox should add as an update is to add Calligraphy pen. This is why I still use my remarkable even though I have the boox go 10.3 and the Note air 3C.

[@richardmas7100]

Thanks for that work! I'm really looking forward to getting the update. As a suggestion, I'd love to have infinite vertical canvas on note pages, just like reMarkable. This helps a lot to structure my ideas

[@peetung]

Great features! Side note at 2:49 for the presenter, chic is pronounced like "sheek," instead of "cheek."

[@VinAbuqrq]

I wish you could turn on a "laser pointer" whenever the pen is floating above the screen. It would be super helpful for presentations.

[@airestocky]

use a reMarkable 2 instead :-) then you've a laser pointer while presenting - OKOK, just a short notice, I'm leaving :-)

[@windylim]

when is this firmware coming to Tab Ultra C?

[@viyanna]

It is not coming to my Tab Ultra C too...

[@Dzjur.]

Please please please implement an option for infinite canvas in notes, as it is in onenote. Apart from the canvas your note app is so much better.

[@szucsbalazs2180]

I haven't know I need this, but yeah, it would be a really great feature for brainstorming

[@giaccomusic]

Yes would be great.

[@airestocky]

or just use a reMarkable 2 to get this

[@alqmyst]

I can't wait for my new Go 10.3" to arrive now. These look like really great updates.

[@ianrogerson]

I have a Note Air 3C and have been waiting and waiting for this update - when will you be releasing to these devices in the UK? I gather there were some issues but surely they're sorted out by now?

[@BOOX.global]

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused. The Note Air3 C is now undergoing a new firmware beta test. You can send a feedback request to apply for the beta test.

[@pocvahval]

This update is a let down. It would have been 100 times better to NOT release this video and showcase all that than have us wait over a month to get this and we still don't have it. Giving it to only a small portion of people sucks and makes everyone else not having it feel bad. Release the update for everyone already!!!!

[@Maisonier]

I'd love a reverse screen mirroring so I can use the boox as a secondary display (spacedesk doesnt work on Linux)

[@rush48192]

Would be nice to be able to write in the calendar date area of the calendar app

[@official_dilip_raju]

Amazing features! Can't wait to try the new features on my Boox. Great work!👏🏽

[@casainho]

We need to be able to use the device as an external display!! Like the inverse you did on this firmware version.

[@bRiMaTiOn]

That was so friggin much. Thanks Boox!

[@Reckligence]

My NA3C just arrived yesterday, a firmware update today...things are looking great!

[@PeterBellemans]

More than one month after posting about the new version I still haven’t received the update on my NoteAir3C 🤷🏼‍♂️ and seem to be stuck on 3.5.1 with the firmware update page showing “Your BOOX is up to date”. Can Boox at least provide an estimated date when the update rollout will be completed? (Or do I have to contact support because something is wrong with my device?🤷🏼‍♂️)

[@BOOX.global]

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused. The Note Air3 C is now undergoing a new firmware beta test. You can send a feedback request to apply for the beta test.

[@karenlindgandrup]

Patiently waiting. Got the Update on NA 3 a few weeks but not yet on my NA 3c.

[@szucsbalazs2180]

I can't wait to be able to update, I check the settings nearly 10 times a day😅

[@BOOX.global]

Hi, there! The firmware will be released in batches and you can check it in Settings. Thank you for your patience. ❤️

[@johnresto1603]

​@@BOOX.globalI hope this happens soon. To post a video about it and not tell a time frame is a little frustrating.

[@philippelaspeyres7407]

It would be nice to have a transparency setting for the marker tool in Neo Read and Notes. Currently when highlighting text using the marker it covers the text, making it hard to read

[@DariusRoland]

As a device user with low vision, I would very much like to have more large text accessibility options in the UI. * For example, a magnifier lens/window that I can manually move around the screen and reshape to fit my need at the moment, including through the UI, itself. A UI text choice that gets to about 17-20 pt font size. Having the screen read to me is ok, but it can be an issue in a space where other people are present. I don't necessarily want everyone in the room hearing my device read my emails aloud as a matter of privacy.

[@CaglarTukel]

This video is more than a month old and still haven't got the update. Can boox team explain why it takes too long in a such fast and advanced world?

[@fabiol3029]

After 3 weeks, still no update on my Tab Ultra C.

[@tonray9395]

Excellent ! Looks like many things to make my Tab ULtra more effective as a tool for managing my life

[@seattledutch]

Very nice. Happy I chose Boox. I have 2 now!

[@ilketaha]

Still not available to Note Air 3C

Make Hyperlink PDF work on Note App,

[@davidelincetto]

I have a Note Air3 C and when I try to update the firmware it says that I'm on the latest one but I have 3.5.1. Is there something else I need to do to update?

[@BOOX.global]

Hi, there! The firmware will be released in batches and you can check it in Settings. If you still can't get the update, please send feedback to us.

[@ilketaha]

Still not available to Note Air 3 C

[@lusconstantin]

I tried Feedback from my NoteAir 3C but sending has failed. I still haven't received V3.5.3 ..

[@TheMarkRich]

Love the paper notebook on the desk. 😛

[@angelicalovera4925]

Ni siquiera se actualizó la versión 3.5.2 en mi tab mini C 😢. Necesito el modo oscuro

[@martinhansen99]

Split the top left and right swipe down and add one feature to the middle. Let this feature have 3 tabs that can be swiped between (left - right). 1st. List of your latest Notes and Documents. 2nd. List of your favourite Notes. 3nd. List of your favourite Documents. This is Remarkable and Supernote quick access mixed into one feature.

[@JoeBrigAI]

Still no proper Highlighter?

[@reitei1756]

Feature request: able to read novels or comics with 2-6 pages in one screen. Up to 2 for novels. And up to 6 for comics (some webtoon is too cut out that i need 6 pages for fast read). For now there is preview for 4 and 6 or 8 pages i forgot but i have to swipe for next. A dedicated 2-6 pages in one screen means that i can just tap or press next button for next.

[@reitei1756]

Another feature request: a translations. So put a translation below the original sentence so i can have my original sentence and look up the translation immediately. Another way is put a paragraph of an original text and a paragraph of the translation text. This can help me when trying to learn a language while reading novel.

[@giaccomusic]

Please an option to have continuous scrolling in the note app. So can keep writing on same page.

[@Dr.Akakia]

Upgraded from poke 4 lite to NA3c, can not wait for it thank you

[@drapasYT]

Amazing Update. Love Boox ^__^

[@sokka7460]

Very good upgrade. Thanks

[@christiandavila8864]

Can I have a cover of my recent book showing in boox when it’s turn off? Like the kindle

[@user-px1er4oe6y]

when will it be available for the Tab Ultra C Pro?

[@HashemRC]

Still not available on Note Air C!

[@kokop1107]

Amazing update!

[@SteamyPMcGee]

system wide dark mode please, or a dark page template in notebook

[@bellepie2027]

I wish pen button can be utilized as a highlighter or can be changed per readers preference like the kindle scribpe pen settings.

[@user-li1mj1jx2j]

Why hasn't this been rolled out for the NA3C yet?

[@BOOX.global]

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused. The Note Air3 C is now undergoing a new firmware beta test. You can send a feedback request to apply for the beta test.

[@nurulrika3075]

I do like the minimalist look of the new UI, but I found it a bit too sharp (with all the corners/boxy shape). It'll take time to adjust, I guess

[@CaglarTukel]

How can we fix the keyboard dissappears while using obsidian. I am sure many people experiencing same issue.

[@albertocarrega4925]

Hi, I have a brand new TABminiC, will you launch this update for that tablet? thank you

[@BOOX.global]

Yes. The firmware will be released in batches and you can check it in Settings.

[@minttea2471]

I hope it would fix (eg delete) a ridiculous and redundant baked in ctrl+shift shortcut on a hardware keyboard, so I could use said shortcut for what it does on every other normal device: selecting text. Otherwise, well, I'm writing here so maybe someone will notice. Already wrote a steamy feedback about this through my boox device

[@chrisd5016]

Tags for my handwriting in the note app do no longer work. In the old firmware I could mark my handwriting and then tag it and the handwriting was converted into my tag. Now the field is empty, no conversion from handwriting

[@yansidronio1732]

When will this be available on the tab ultra C?

[@Kooler_1]

Got my new Note air 3c 4 days ago and just playing around to get familiar 😢 now this new update I'm not gonna get to enjoy the experience of using the original interface then onto the new update 😅. Still it's all cool tho❤

[@kevinpetit3869]

Only issue I have with the new firmware is that it seems like the custom patterns that I had set up are now very hard to see, whilst they worked perfectly before. Can this be adjusted anywhere? Tried to search everywhere, but it's really annoying right now.

[@AntonioDelDonno1]

I don't get if this update is going to be released for the note air 1 :( please answer! (please answer yes!)

[@jacintas209]

My Note Air2 plus updated to the latest firmware but there is no freemark option in the control centre 😢

[@jacintas209]

I found it. You will have to edit the control centre by clicking the button (look like a pen) at the right top corner, then you will see freemark button.

[@johnpalmer8221]

These are great improvements, now put some effort into the Desktop Apps. I would love to be able to edit text notebooks on the device OR the desktop app.

[@swamp.opossum]

Will this be available for the boox Nova3? Ive been very happy with the continued support for this device. Ive had it for 3 years and it's still amazing.

[@paldepind]

Looks great. Would be amazing if you could also update the Android version as well beyond Android 11 & 12.

[@canatesbeats]

when is this firmware coming to Tab mini C?

[@cecicestmoi]

well done!!

[@guack1453]

This dark mode update just might get me to buy a boox

[@jesuscapulin5540]

I have and idea that could be useful, it would be nice to have the option to make figures as strange as we want but with the line dotted I mean like when you use the lasso tool that you can make circles with dotted lines, hope I make me understand.

[@mubaraks19]

Is this firmware coming to Note Air3C?

[@chrisd5016]

Tags in Notes no longer work for me after the update. Handwritten text is not recognised.

[@AntonioDelDonno1]

Is this update coming to the note air 1?

[@thiagocovo2129]

Could you please improve the ai text recognition export format? It would be great to have the text recognised in A4... so much time consuming to format properly the recognised texts

[@omidrahimi2038]

There must be a possibility to disable Kaleido 3 in favor of power saving for color Boox

[@zaidali-zv7xl]

nice it would be amazing

[@RossMcCarthy-qk3yp]
