Best notes app

Since starting sixth form, I’ve needed a notes app that is both reliable and easy to use. Notability has allowed me to store my notes whether it’s handwritten, types, or even an uploaded picture from elsewhere and has allowed me to annotate freely. Dare I say I now have the neatest most organised notes out of everybody. Not only does it allow me to feel satisfied with my organisation, it also has unique perks like audio recording that I’ve never seen in other notes apps before. In addition, it also has templates that you can use to plan to do lists, weekly plans or even a Callander. The options are endless with incredible aesthetic ranges that most definitely will fit your vibe. However there are also existing colouring templates or even interactive worksheets uploaded by existing users so everyone is able to share and use each other’s works. But most importantly. It’s incredibly simple to use coming from somebody that is awful with anything technology. Notability is something I will always recommend to people starting college or uni because it’s so accessible. In my opinion the subscription is also incredibly fair. It is affordable and can guarantee excitement when taking notes.

Amazing but...

Notability is an amazing app and I’ve been using it on my iPad for almost a year. Handwriting is smooth and nice(I switched off the pressure sensitivity), by the way im an engineering student. I like how the files are organised. But the most important feature that keeps me using notability is voice recording. The way it is done is just amazing!
It’s all good but lest face a few problems of natability that are actually annoying on a daily basis:
Notability doesn’t recognise geometric shaped and can’t make them look better as some other does that. To draw a nice square we have to go and press some Figure option which takes us to some new window etc... what I am saying that it is the ugliest way of drawing a nice circle on the market. Developers should definitely make it simpler and more intuitive and pleasant to use. Right now it is such a disappointment that I was so close to stop using notability and go on to another app.
Another things - highlighters. I don’t understand what the developers thought of when they designed them. Why are they like this? Why are they so transparent? Why do they mess up with the handwritten text? Why do highlighters of the same color overlap each other? It is utterly annoying.
In general, it is an amazing app but I hope the developers will listen to the app users and fix those issues as so many people are irritated of the highlighters and figure drawing tool.
