Ratings and Reviews
Editors’ Notes
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.
This app is literally a lifesaver!
I normally don’t write reviews but this app is so useful I just had to write one to do it justice. The recording feature is what makes this app so unique and important. It saved my life a few times now and will continue to do so as I progress though my Master’s degree. For this feature alone, the current price is totally worth it.
One other important thing to note, this developer continues to update the app since inception instead of doing what other greedy developers like Goodnotes, PDF Expert, etc does, which is to charge an upgrade fee for a newer version of the product (e.g. Goodnotes 4 to 5), so those early customers are rewarded as the product evolves. We should support such good developers who are not money-minded and greedy.
For these 2 reasons alone, I think you should invest your money in this product.
Exporting and importing issue
Hey there ,
The issue i faced was the exporting of my notes as pdf. I wish we could export them as editable pdfs . Second, there could be better way to view all pages at once like a grid view instead of a list view alone. Third, When i import a pdf that has been edited by another app into notability, the annotations are all gone. 4th , having tabs may really help as i sometimes need to switch from one note to another and not necessarily open 2 screens. Its great but i feel like the developers aren’t finished with this app. Looking forward to much better improvements for more seamless and enjoyable note taking experience. Oh and the file organisation , the current one is good for simplicity although there should be another way to organise for those with much more complex and varied files to manage. Im pretty sure the developers knows all this anyway oh well.
