    Absolutely sick of these companies forcing environment ruining, resource hoarding, hallucinating bs that are LLMs and generative AI on their users. Great app before, trash sellouts now.
  • Very nice and modern feeling

    TLDR: Hand writing is a very pleasant experience with Notability, however the typing does not line up with the lines of the page. If that is not an important feature to you, this app may be good for you. After hearing that there is now a one-time payment option, I decided to install this on my iPad and give it a try, as I was still using Goodnotes 5 with the one-time payment from back then. There are some features that I didn't have before that I appreciate, and it just overall looks much more modern than I am used to with Goodnotes 5. A non-negotiable feature for me was the ability to type directly onto a page and have it line up with the ruled lines on the "paper." Notability does allow you to type directly onto a page without having to use text boxes, but the spacing does not line up with the ruled lines. This is very disappointing to me, I was highly considering paying until I experienced this. Another negative is that making folders and folders within folders doesn't feel as smooth as it could be. I noticed that there is a notability app for Windows. It would have been very nice if my notes could sync between my iPad and my Windows laptop, as that is a feature that Goodnotes 5 (and possibly 6 but idk firsthand) lacks. In fact, Goodnotes support informed me that even though I logged into both with my Apple ID, Goodnotes considers my logging into Windows as a different account, so I couldn't see my notes from my iPad or revert to Goodnotes 5.

  • Deleted All of My Notes With No Way to Recover

    The app was working completely fine until one day I opened it and I had been signed out, and all of my notes from the past couple months had been deleted. On top of that, Notability had stopped backing up to my iCloud without telling me, so I had no way of recovering my lost files. This is unacceptable, and I will be moving to a different notes app
  • Love it!

  • Improved licensing

    Update- they improved the free version and added a one time purchase lifetime license. I love supporting companies that give an alternative to a monthly subscription.
