Honest to God, the BEST Note taking app out there!
SkillzV2.0
I’m a high school student in SEA using this. I must say there are a lot of features that I love on this.What I love on this:- Infinite canvas [not confined to pages like in most other note taking apps. PERFECT FOR MINDMAPPING] (max zoom 400% with a zoom-lock feature)- Variety of brush sizes (fixed, not a slider)- Smart Recognition (holding after drawing a line creates a straight line automatically. holding after drawing simple shapes creates that shape.)- Choice of Stroke-based Eraser or Precise Eraser- Choice of Regular Highlighter or Smart Highligher (highlights written text in rectangular blocks)- Infinite Colour Capacity and Colour Customisability- Light or Dark Mode- Writing position customisability- [Free Plan] Limited to 1 Collection with 3 Notebooks only. BUT each notebook can have infinite number of infinite canvases (very generous compared to all other apps as long as u aren’t too picky on organisation)- [Free Plan] Can import PNG. (PDF import for premium only)- Sync and Backup needs premium

Thanks for such detailed and valuable input! We love that you love Nebo – we're working hard to enhance Nebo all the time, so stay tuned for some very special updates in the near future.
Best handwriting recognition app!
CoachPotato89
I have used notability, goodread, and Nebo Handsdown if you want to convert handwriting to text, Nebo is the clear winner! The other two apps require you to select first whereas Nebo just convert in 2 taps! And the recognition is just insane accurate (or my handwriting is super good, which I doubt very much) Thank you Nebo team for making such an app. Please please dont get distracted and put too much bells and whistles to bloat your app
Overrated!
Kenneth wan
Unless all you want is to scribble lines and lines of text without editing, then Nebo will be perfect because it has fantastic handwriting recognition. But it is a nightmare when you try to add, remove words or characters, or try moving paragraph of text! The gesture work as and when it feels like, and symbols like @ have to be rewritten many times in order to get it right. And it can’t copy or paste text... Eventually you realize if you’re to type in the text your task would have been completed long time ago. Personally this app is only good as a notepad. If you plan to use it to take down lengthy notes, or meeting notes, look else where.
Improvements to be made
Procritic95
Love the app, use it a lot coz I love the handwriting shortcuts. Some suggestions for improvements:1. Split view —> open more than 1 page at a time2. Annotate PDF —> have more functions like merge, add pages etc.3. Always keep improving your handwriting recognition —> that’s your competitive edge and selling point, so need to keep Improving yourself to be the best in the store to prevent from being obsolete, esp with the last iOS update on notes4. Get on iPhone and other platforms for more accessibility, even if it has nothing to do with handwriting recognition —> convenience wins customers5. Pages also start to lag more the bigger/longer the page becomes, both free form and normal page, please fix this —> I recommend your app to a lot of people, but a simple issue like lag really makes me hesitate from recommending it more6. App stability —> linked to page size, app keeps crashing or restarting from the opening page when I’m switching between apps to write notes. Fix this please7. Unable to copy and paste links, they say object cannot be copied —> what century is this
