Professor Higher Education Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Notability for grading assignments" December 29, 2021 5.0 As I've mentioned, Notability is a game-changer for me. It is the greatest piece of software written for IOS mobile. Pros Notability on an iPad is the single best application for business purposes that I have purchased. Using this with an Apple Pencil is like using pen and paper. The palm rejection is superior to Adobe's. Even now that our university is back in person, I have maintained electronic grading. I even did this for in-person exams. This made it possible to return the exams electronically to students and maintain a complete record of what was completed. Cons Honestly, I have no cons about the software. It is brilliant. My only complaint is that I would like a version for a PC. I would purchase this in a second. Review Source SM Stefania M. CEO and founder Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The best note taking app" February 9, 2024 5.0 The best note taking app. I started using it in 2018 and I still use it, it’s perfect and it’s complete Pros You get a lot of functions, different pens, different colours. The best part is that you can also record the professor or the manager when they speak and it automatically synchronises with what you are writing. Cons Maybe the zoom tool, it’s not easy to write using it Review Source CD Carsyn D. Technician Veterinary Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Notability is a life saver when it comes to note taking, planning, and keeping files organized" April 9, 2024 5.0 Pros As a vet student, I use notability daily for 6-10 hours each day. I have found that it is the most efficient app for taking notes as well as studying, planning, and it keeps all of my power points/ files easily accessible. I appreciate that you can design your own subjects for organization and with Notability Plus you have access to many planners and others that have replaced almost every paperback notebook that I have. Cons Very rarely, there can be glitches and lagging but it is usually when a new update of the app comes out. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Math and Science Tutor Education Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Amazing software for organization and productivity, I would highly recommend it 10/10" September 29, 2022 5.0 Great software for taking notes or planning general. Notability also pretty much all the resources and templates you would need. Saves you time with the autosave feature. Highly recommend 10/10 Pros Overall very user friendly software, perfect for beginners and technology experts. Very easy to use and navigate around, all the tools are fairly self explanatory which is great. There are lots of templates for like planners, journals, to do lists, daily planners available which I really like using. The software has a great organization feature where it is very easy to organize all the notes. You can also send files directly from the app without much effort and can send files to Notability with ease which is very convenient. I would highly recommend Notability if you are looking for a reliable digital notebook because it has all the useful functions you would need. Notability is always very reliable because it never crashes and fails to save my work - it has autosave. Cons I honestly don't have anything to criticize about Notability. I wish it were free but for the $12 that I have to pay per year, I think it is honestly very worth it and a great deal. Review Source AK Atul K. Senior Member of Technical Staff Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Best immersive note taking app out there" August 26, 2022 5.0 Good, I use it regularly for some maths and jotting down thoughts. Pros How natural it feels to use on an iPad, more so than the inbuilt notes app. I especially find being able to import images and pdfs and annotating them really useful. Cons There’s nothing bad as such, but wish there was a history of edits section (or maybe it’s there and I’ve not found it), to restore the note to an earlier version. Review Source Nurul Miza M. Information Technology Specialist Financial Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Notability for quick note taking" January 11, 2022 4.0 It has its pro and cons, but i feel the cons is much more and the pricing is not too bad. Pros Notability is a good online note taking application, because it I can easily organized my notes by its segment or category using the separator or tagging it using the color tagger. Changing the fonts for each notes also quite fun as i can choose more relax or casual fonts for personal notes. Cons Things that i notice with this software is, there are no option to integrate the application with third parties software like Google Chrome. It is much needed integration as it will making it easy to clipping a website or notes directly from the web browser.

Student Veterinary Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "User friendly, stay organized, all notes in one place" April 24, 2024 5.0 Pros Organize each subject separately. Making calendars, note taking, downloading files and more is so easy, fast and convenient! I have thousands of pages of notes and downloaded files, the app saves them all on google drive if you want it set up. Easy to navigate and have separate subjects and files within drop down menus. Cons Nothing bad to say about notability. It has truly done wonders for my studying at veterinary school . Review Source Daniel E. Senior Pastor Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Helpful Note-Taking Tool That Syncs across Devices" January 13, 2022 5.0 My overall experience with Notability is that its the notetaker that I keep coming back to for its dependability, ease of use, and intuitive features. Pros I love Notability for its ability to let me type or handwrite notes and have those notes sync across my iPhone, Mac, and iPad. Notability allows me to edit notes and e-mail them as well. Cons I find that occasionally the copy and paste function can be a bit finicky. Other than that, I have no real complaints. Review Source Luciano Z. ChatBot and Automation developer Information Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "One of the most consistent apps for notes and more" December 19, 2021 4.0 Totally positive overall experience! I happen to use this app when I struggle with the limitations of Apple's Notes app, which still has some limitations in terms of functionality and usable elements. Pros Notability is immediately appreciated because it makes you achieve greater organization, and therefore productivity. I really appreciate the availability of different coloured pens, moving notes around over time, as well as quickly sketching out tables, charts and graphs. Cons In the past I have had some problems using the desktop version. Some sudden crashes made the experience frustrating due to unexpected reboots because of errors, since a few months, however, everything seems fixed and working as expected.

Scientist Higher Education Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Good for subscription only" May 10, 2022 5.0 Pros Notability is a robust app for taking notes in which there’s a possibility to create open access link to share content. Anyone can use this link to view the notes in any browser or on any device. While drawing, I love the favorites bar, though it is limited to three items on the free plan. I could also add the amazing audio recording feature for notetakers. Cons I see benefits for Notability only if one can afford a premium subscription. The free plan otherwise make this app very comparable to other note-taking apps Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Managing Director Chemicals Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "The best pal for the iPad" November 12, 2022 5.0 Really nothing Pros I used to carry multiple notebooks, at home or in office but it was hard to synchronize the daily notes.Since I use the app I carry my notes and my agenda with me everywhere Cons Some more agenda alternatives would really help Review Source RB Roxanne B.

Teacher Education Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Notability" December 29, 2021 3.0 Pros The feature I like most with Notability is the ability to screen mirror pdfs to my tv. Being able to do this makes it quick and easy to share and edit documents with my students. I love the ability to use my pencil stylus to write directly on the document. It is also great to be able to use all of the other features that Notability offers, such as highlighting, cut, as well as being able to easily share documents with others. Cons One issue I have with this product is that sometimes I have to make several attempts to scan and upload a document. There are also times that after it scans it does not show the correct orientation. Otherwise the product does what I need. Review Source Juan Jesús G.

April 28, 2022 4.0 Very easy to use and I plan to keep using it. Pros Very intuitive and easy to use.
