It goes like this: I usually work with pdf documents (between 17-20 pages long), using the stock pdf reader, as I want to write notes and drawings on top of those pdf docs. I write notes in some pages, then turn the page and go to the next one. Some times I return to the previous page, and the notes I had written a few seconds/minutes ago do not exist any more!
Please Boyue, fix this now!!!!! It makes this device totally untrustworthy!!!!

It's trickier than you think. In summer and autumn i've sent like 5 or 6 critical errors and bugs related to notes including memory leaks. And while playing around notes i saw strange behavior.
Imagine you have notes with 10-15 pages:
1. You wright something on page 7
2. Go to page 8 and wright something there
3. Then you go back on page 7
And there's nothing.
But if you wait you'll see that stuff you wrote start to come out. Like, Notes app has some threading issue or something. At least they made Notes nearly stable and i don't have any crashes or disappeared notes. Can't tell same about PDF notes because i don't use them. But i'll give it a try too, because i once tried to write something in PDF book and it didn't disappear. But notes got displaced after i returned on that page. Which is not good either.
PS: And i'll mention it again. Boyue made reader, notes and launcher as single app. Onyx has three different apps for each function which makes it more stable.
I've dug into decompiled Boyue's app and found out that it contains KOReader app or something like that. Probably fork of KOReader. So i presume whole app is a one big mess of code. But i'm no developer and can't tell for sure.
Moreover, i asked people who own Onyx Note Pro to share their reader/notes apps and couldn't install those because they're signed for certain hardware. So does Boyue
