want a FREEHAND CROP feature
hiii. i have been using notability since 2021, it has been such a great experience with notability. notability has been with me since highchool, my foundation studies, and currently in my first year of Medical School!!
i enjoyed using notability so much. but only one feature that i have been hoping for is a FREEHAND CROP (just like goodnote). as we know that notability only offer cropping feature in rectangular shape, but i think it would make my notes prettier and easier to read if we have FREEHAND CROPPING feature.
i hope the upper management of notability would consider my suggestion, thank you! :)

Notability Re-loads all notes every time I open the app. Even if it was in the background.
I am a tech director at a school with 600 of these on iPads and iCloud is terrible with Notability and Notability won’t even respond to tickets I had in for months.
This means they are in iCloud but not downloaded for one of a few reasons. With iCloud on it doesn’t believe any of your notes belong to your iPad and it can delete them and download them again at any time. I have single students with 5GB of notes so this is a huge problem. This can even happen mid note, it just disappears. This is with students with 200GB if iCloud and 128GB of iPad storage so no issues. If you run out of iCloud or iPad storage you may lose some of those notes permanently. Notability has not been able to show me a way to sync only some parts of your notes. They did respond to tell me iCloud was not an acceptable backup only a sync.
If you turn off iCloud this goes away, and can download the notes to your iPad. If you turn on iCloud again they will be back on the sync cache and could disappear.
