Does anyone know of any note-taking apps that

* are cross-platform [Windows/web, iOS, Android]
* supports handwriting
* has more than 6 colors [not Google Jamboard]
* has a real, resizable eraser [not Evernote or Google Keep]
* allows you to change the page size/add a lined/dotted background easily [not Microsoft OneNote]

I'm basically down to just using a drawing app and a cloud storage service, but that loses me the cross-platform requirement. I'm seriously about to tear my hair out. 😫​💦

Google Drawings *also* doesn't work for me, because it won't draw with my tablet. The "scribble" tool is incredibly laggy with the mouse, too.

How is it so difficult to find this kind of basic functionality in handwritten notes? I feel like I'm being unreasonable, almost.

I've resigned myself to the cloud storage solution, using the .PSD file-type so that it can be edited on-the-go. It's an incredibly cumbersome solution, but at least it satisfies all of my needs. :ms_angry_steam:
