Great app

I enjoy having notes in this app! I had just one time a problem with that. It has been still downloading all the notes from the cloud, where it was for a backup. It started few days ago and I was so upset. I could not do any note that time because of that. Then I realized that the problem is in my tablet. The space in iPad was completely full! I deleted some files and it is great again! I hope that this will help someone too. Thx for the app!

review

I really like this app although it has some annoying flaws. 1) The filesystem needs to be rebuild - i really wish i could organize my notes better using more subsections. 2)I would like to be able to use stickies in different way. Very often I want to make some note inside my pdf files but there is no free space. If I could write it on a sticky note a then minimize it, that would be awesome. If I wanted to read it later, I would just resize it back. 3) It would be really beneficial to add some gesture shortcuts: for example to change the tool or opacity etc.. 4)I don’t like the current spacing of the rasters. Very often I find myself wanting the lines be little more further away from each other or the other way around. 5) Sometimes when I import some pdf file, the white borders are really wide so i need to zoom in on the text. But then when I scroll up or down it isn’t fluent. It shakes from left to right because of the zoom. It would be nice to have an option to cut the border or to lock it in place. 6) This is an addition to point 3. I need some bar of the most used tools so I can change between them fast. The current way is just simply slow.. For example I very often use just the pencil and change just its opacity and colour - the additional taps are really annoying. TLDR: Notability is a nice app, but needs some fixes for better productivity.
