icloud on — notability files disappear
I have my icloud back up on, but it is SO INCONVENIENT at times when I search for my files, especially the new ones, will disappear. Then every so often, a lot of the files disappear and will reappearor just show as loading ( perhaps it’s notability trying to upload the file) but it is VERY annoying deepening when i’m in class and when I need the file outside (without internet) then I can’t access it. What’s the point of having this app when I can’t even access my own files when I need it. If this isn’t fixed soon, I will no longer backup my files via icloud. I subscribed to an icloud plan for notability but I will cancel it because it’s very inconvenient for me now due to this recurring notability problem.
Update: Backup still a hassle. I turned icloud backup, now I can’t even delete the notability files on icloud storage because it can’t process 9gb. 🙄
Additinally: Please develop a way for us to easily export multiples files at once in the notability-extension file type to a computer. Not every country is blessed with good internet connection, we prefer saving files locally. We rely on notability, most of our notes, we want to be sure that we somehow have a tangible hold on our valued notes. If you have this feature, you’ll solve a lot of problems the users have on this app regarding backup.

Love the app and i'm sorry i have given it only three stars 🥺
Hi. Since working from home, attending meetings and sometimes being asked to transcribe them, i found the recorder on this app very useful indeed. However, the sound of the pencil on the screen tapping away is quite irritating specially if the Speaker has the tendency to mumble or doesn't pronounce the words properly. I have tried using a silicon tip on my pencil but it impedes with the smooth writing on the glass specially if you are trying to catch up with what is being said.
Another concern, if you let me... would it be possible to relocate the magnifier that is on the lower right side of the screen? I seem to keep on brushing against it while writing and it quite is a bother specially when you are in the middle of writing down something that the speaker has said and it suddenly pops up.
I'm not sure how you can address these concerns but i know you can. Looking forward to these "little" issues being addressed. Will add to the number of stars once any improvement has been made😊🥺Thank you in advance. Keep safe.
