I purchased Nebo some time ago and enjoyed using it but hadn’t consistently. More recently I have been journaling and writing creatively and it has been magnificent. Sometimes you don’t want to be in front of a laptop or use a keyboard, there is something beautiful about the hand writing process that Nebo makes effortless. In the wee hours of the morning after my fathers death, using Nebo with the Apple Pencil was where I could capture all my thoughts and feelings in an organic process that facilitated my ability to explore such a sensitive topic in a location and space that felt safe and sacred to me. I don’t think I could have done that with a laptop that by nature of the technology demands more structure. When I had captured everything, the process of exporting so that I could edit it in word was so easy, I felt relieved and excited. If you read the 4 star reviews you will see that they all think Nebo is great and they become expert users empowered by Nebo’s capabilities and wanting it to be even greater. This is how all great software gets better. Sure there’s a few quirks and it might take you a bit to get used to it, but once you see that this program will understand and will faithfully recognise your crappy handwriting and convert it to legible text inspite of you, you will be like all the other 4 star reviewers wanting more 🥰. I love it and personally am grateful for it.

Thank you for letting us know your thoughts. Indeed, many of our users prefer journaling in Nebo since the handwriting experience is more natural and healing. We are grateful for your 5-star support and wish you the best of luck, Mila
Love this app
I ain't happy
I love this app I use it for all my uni work and have had no issues with it, I love all the features and it works smoothlySome features I think it could include (if it already has these I just haven’t figured out how to uset them); being able to open more than one page or notebook at a time, I use this to annotate my powerpoints and take notes but I’d like to be able to jot down the major things from the power point as I go in a separate lecture summary page so having them open at the same time saves time switching between the two and makes it easier. Another less important but useful addition would be the ability to zoom on the pages, I like to make my handwriting small and find it easier when I’m able to zoom in on the page to fit more content in my view on the page once I zoom out (if that makes sense). Other than that I love this app 10/10! I recommended it to my mum and she loves it just as much as I do!!!!!

We're super happy to hear you're enjoying Nebo for your uni work – and we're grateful for your support and recommendations! Split-screen functionality and zoom of the writing window are under consideration – we're just not 100% certain of the timeline yet. Follow us on social media, and we'll update you as soon as we can. Best of luck, Mila
Amazing app!

I love this app - from its clean style to its handwriting recognition! The ability to try out its handwriting recognition software before paying anything was what really sold me! I also love how easy it is to change the image size - though I sometimes wish that I could crop them in the app! I also love that I only have to pay once and then have access to all the tools instead of a subscription! The only things that I dislike are that I can’t add hyperlinks nor turn handwriting into text in freeform documents, though it’s manageable without either, they would really improve my experience with the app. However, the feature that I would love to be added the most would be - by far - the ability to add margins to the imported PDF; a side margin on which notes that cannot fit on the PDF page can be written! As a student who will be using this app for taking lecture notes on the lecture PowerPoint, this would be a game changer! Even if it was just free-form without the ability to convert to text (though that would be amazing!!) or even not lined, it would be a fantastic addition! The ability to change the width of the margin would be amazing and - just an idea - the addition of the margin being implemented through some kind of toggle switch? Otherwise, I do find it more difficult to choose between Nebo and competitors, such as OneNote, which allow you to write notes on the side of the PDF. I love the Nebo app, so of course it is a hard choice and safe to say I’ll be saying for a long time but additional features like these would definitely earn this app 5 stars - or if it were possible - 6!
