Ratings and Reviews
Editors’ Choice
We rely on this sleek, powerful notetaker to annotate documents, record lectures, sketch illustrations, and more. With built-in iCloud support, it’s perfect for keeping notes, documents, and doodles up to date across your iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
Excellent up but just needs small minor updates
In my library I want to be able to sort notes the way I WANT THEM, not by dates or names. It is really bothering that I have to number each note so that I can control the editing 🤦♀️. Even when I want to open two notes together , in the note switcher instead of opening recent notes or searching for the note can’t it be searching through the library? Sometimes I want to open a note that I haven’t opened recently and I don’t recall its name so I have to go out and open that note then use the switcher for my previous note to add them both 🤷♀️
One last thing that I used to enjoy having on another note app that I really hope it be here is the ability of writing outside the border of the slide! For example if one of the slides are filled with words and pic , and at the lecture I had to write notes beside that particular slide I have to open a new page beneath this slide. I want to be able to zoom out of this slide or even add the page BESIDE this slide ( preferably at the right of that slide) so that even if I wanted to put some arrows or add a continuation text to that slide I’d be able to do that in the same alignment not after the slide is done ( below it ).
Please do take my suggestions,
Thank you
Great but there is an issue
By far your app is one of the best in the market however, it lacks important features. Unfortunately the app doesn’t support creating a folder inside a folder etc. For example I could not do the following: creating a folder for my final year at university then inside it creating separate files one for each semester then inside each semester creating a folder for each subject and inside that folder I would put my files. Another issue is that I cannot select multiple pages from the same pdf file and delete them at once. I remember having a file with 30 unnecessary pages and I deleted the pages one by one. Hopefully this constructive criticism reaches you and hopefully you consider adding these features. Btw I’m not the only one complaining of this. Many of my friends will not switch to notability because of this.
