Notability – Note Taking App Reviews

This is very useful for editing any notes your teacher puts online or even taking notes in class.

Taking handwritten notes on here is terrible. Its always freezing up while Im writing, and its always glitching when I use the scissor tool. I try to move one word and everything on the page moves with it. Stick with Evernote. This app is a waste of your money.

Love the app but would be better even a few things are improved: 1. simple formatting: like the space between lines/paragraphs (especially for the Mac version) 2. Synchronization between iOS and Mac is really slow. OneNote is a lot faster in terms of sync. 3. Should have an option to hide the zoom button in the lower right corner. Most people with Apple Pencil wont need it. Its possibly to accidentally touch that button with my palm.

This app is good and easy to use but I wish there were a little more with interface. It would be nice if there were more options; to personalize the notes and subjects by adding cover photos, stickers, or other colors. Also I wish there were more tool options; a ruler, shapes, equations, a calculator. The ability to choose between scrolling or sliding from page to page, and also adding dashes or a list check off would be amazing!

I am a student at a high school where each student is distributed an iPad, and we are required to have this app for doing worksheets, notes, etc. A few suggestions from a students point of view: - a built in calculator function, just a little calculator that you could drag around the screen - the "add shape" function needs improvement - more colors? Color coding gets hard sometimes - make an option for the highlighter not to overlap if you stop highlighting then begin again

This is the great and I have been using for year for school and research. Only if it has pages and number(excel) incorporated into this. And definitely the page navigator option like iPad version (this is a must have). Thank you developer for this great apps.

If notability were the only additional app you could download from the App Store, the IPad Pro would be worth its price for a student. This app will change how students take notes. Thank you for being so great and listening to customer feedback. Download this app without hesitation and dont look back, Ive tried the competition.

I downloaded notability a long time ago and never got the chance to really use it because I prefer to write my notes over typing them. Since Ive had iPad Pro 9.7 inch, while using the Apple Pencil I have loved this app! It is so easy to import my PDF files from iCloud Drive right into the app and to immediately start taking notes. I was lucky enough to get this app when it was the free app of the week and now I have told all my friends to get it because it is worth the money. I absolutely love all the features it has, including picking the thickness of the writing, the color and even being able to highlight! It is all fantastic. I love this application!

Using it on the large iPad Pro. Have tried the other apps - OneNote, Paper, Apple own Notes. Notability just feels more natural. Im not sure what makes it work better, I dont think its just latency btw. Kudos to the devs - awesome tool.

This is outstanding software! I use it in meetings, for classes, and for downloading all my PDFs from various sites.

If it werent for the fact that the app keeps "correcting" my typing (agressively, I might add), I might give 5 stars. But as it stands now, two stars for the points taken off of my class grade thanks to the app.

This app does a lot of things right, but it does not do one thing that is very important to me as a student. Drawing straight lines (without having to add a figure) is no longer possible.

Newest update is terrible. Either freezes or crashes EVERYTIME I use it! So frustrating since I use it everyday in class with students.

But, any hand writing app should convert to txt. My fault, I did not catch this point before buying. If I had probably would not have purchased.

The only problem is that some issues is that when I use a third party keyboard that it sometimes Appear black and have to refresh it Another problem was with the highlighter where it sometimes shows some error with color

Please allow us to export documents into iMessage for easy file sharing. Otherwise, its a great app.

I love the app and I use it everyday. Its perfect except one thing. I wish the eraser wouldnt erase the entire pen stroke. Sometimes I just want to erase a little part of what I wrote instead of all of it at once -- esp. When I am drawing something (like graphs). But otherwise, its perfect

This app glitches SOOOO MUCH!!!!! Yes its a good app for school, we use it all the time in class, but its so hard to manage all the tools. And it honestly frustrates me so much.
