Feature Suggestion

I have been using this app for a long time, the previous account was lost so I made a new one and it’s worth it. I use this application for note taking and also for question practice. The writing feels natural as there is no lag and the price is really affordable. One feature that I think this app is missing is the infinite scrolling of pages in a notebook. Now what I have to do is, when ever I have to change pages, I need to copy the last equation, then go to the new page, then paste it and then solve it, and if I need any other information from the other pages again I have to open the tab and scroll to the previous page. If there were the infinite scroll, then I would just adjust the preview in such a way that it show both the pages i.e the bottom part of the previous page and the top part of the new page, and in this way it should be perfect.

This is my suggestion for the app and I will be thrilled to see if this feature gets added to the app. It would surely become the best note taking app ever.

Response from developer

Thank you for your kind feedback! We’re delighted that you enjoy writing with the app. We’ll share your suggestion for a board-style canvas with page rotation with our Product team for consideration. While we can’t confirm whether or when it may be added, feedback like yours helps shape the app’s future. Regards, Sebastian

Study notes

As a student studying engineering. This is an easy and simple program to use. I can make as many notes, up,pad practice exam pdfs, and input photos of charts and data as needed. Overall if you are a student, or looking to study. This is a reliable program!

Beat notes experience.

The only thing I would love a board type that I could rotate the page. Like concepts or Procreate. On best to write by a long stretch.

책처럼보기 기능이 있으면 최고일듯! Requires left-right viewing like a notebook, and page-turning functionality

책장처럼 넘기면서 볼수 있는 기능 필요 합니다

When using notes and PDFs, horizontal scrolling is very necessary, just like in a regular notebook.

O melhor aplicativo de notas para iPad.

Melhor custo-benefício, tem para Android e Windows. Sincroniza entre as versões.

中文…?

手書き文字の認識精度は高く、日本語だけでなく外国語の手書きもかなり正確に認識されました。
語学学習用として非常に便利で、Lifetime版の購入も検討しています。
ただし、言語設定について気になる点があります。
私のiPadは主要言語が日本語、地域も日本に設定されています。
ところが、MyScript Notesの「インストールされた言語」を確認すると、初期状態でEnglishと中文が入っており、日本語は自分で追加する必要がありました。中国語を自分で追加した記憶はありません。
手書き認識機能そのものはとても気に入っているだけに、日本語環境でなぜ中文がインストールされているのか分からない状態は気味が悪く、課金をためらう原因になっています。
旧Neboから引き継がれた設定なのか、不具合なのか、それとも別の理由があるのか、明確な説明と改善を希望します。
問題が解消されれば評価を見直したいと思います。

Response from developer

英語と中国語は、アジア地域でこれらの言語を安定してご利用いただけるよう、標準言語パッケージの一部としてあらかじめインストールされています。これは不具合ではなく、仕様です。予期しない言語が表示されることで、ご不安に感じられる点は理解しております。この説明で安心していただき、引き続きアプリをご利用のうえ、買い切り版をご検討いただければ幸いです。本アプリは、市場でも最高水準、あるいは最高ともいえる手書き認識体験を提供していると私たちは考えています。 Sebastian

Minor UI & Apple Pencil Issues – Feedback for Next Update

The app is excellent overall, but I’d like to report two minor issues: 1. Page transitions: Switching between notebook pages feels laggy/blinks rather than providing a smooth, continuous transition. 2. Palette colours: When opening the Palette with Apple Pencil, the colour-selection option doesn’t work, although the other features function normally. Please consider fixing these issues in the next update. They’re minor, but addressing them would significantly improve the overall user experience.

Response from developer

Thank you for reaching out and sharing your concern. The transition between pages and the colour palette selection should work as expected. If you are experiencing issues with either feature, please visit our support portal at https://help.myscript.com and click “Submit a Ticket.” Include as many details as possible, along with a short video or screenshots showing the issue. This will help our support team analyse the problem and provide the most effective assistance. If you need different functionality that is not currently available, our team can also submit a feature request on your behalf. Best regards, Sebastian

Has gone downhill

This was honestly a good app till recently. Had it for a few years and it worked great, even willingly bought the paid version even when I had the choice not to because I loved the app. Whoever bought it or took charge recently has 100% tanked this app though. It’s so much glitchier than it used to be and they added a bunch of annoying features I wish I could just turn off. They also added some AI stuff that just doesn’t work very well. It’s also super hard to sync notes, I find that often times I spend more time than it’s worth making sure my notes are backed up. Would not recommend will be switching as soon as the semester ends.

Sad

Never use the straight line thing. Just messed up my whole homework. And crashed. It booted me out and I couldn’t use the undo button anymore.

I wish they hadn’t changed the name

It took me forever to re-find this app because you changed the name, it strangely left the “n” logo.

THIS IS THE BEST.

I love this app so dang much I always get to do my made Up story's

Handwriting convection issue

When I try to convert handwritten text to typed text, the app crashes.

APP DOES NOT WORK

I downloaded the app into my ios for my ipad and after the first page it prompts you to pick a language and after you pick a language you can't even press next to get into the app. Such a shame because it seems like a really good app. If I could put zero stars I would. I went to the official page of the app to submit a complaint and for some reason I was not able to send the email to customer service. Like if the send button was frozen. I'm hoping this app will be fixed soon.

My Notes won’t sync

I have been writing notes on my laptop and have it connected to my google drive and the notes won’t sync to my phone. My Google drive has plenty of storage and I can’t find any resolution. I never had this problem before until I updated my phone to the latest app version. I’m so annoyed because now I can’t study my notes everywhere I go which is what I was paying for!!!

Requesting shortcut for “Create document”

Just started using the app and it looks great so far for handwriting to text conversion. I want to request a feature - for iOS, can also allow creating Documents (just like Board & notebook) from “Shortcuts” in apple?

Sucks

This sucks

Busy Life Made Simple

From undergrad degrees, to shopping lists, to graduate degrees, Nebo has simplified my life. I’m an on-the-go person on and off the road for work and studying in between, and Nebo has made it easy to type and write notes for work, life, language learning, and school. I love the organizational features, and the translation from written to typed notes is PURE GENIUS. I’ve been a huge fan of this app for over 5 years and still come back to it often. Thank you, Nebo!

Great app!

A while ago I left a fairly negative review for the developers because I felt they had scammed me out of my money with a bogus subscription. Nevertheless, they hear your complaints and work to resolve them. The app itself has been exactly what I've needed for my church responsibilities. I'm able to keep my notes organized! I also love the fact I can go back and have my handwriting converted to text!

OK, but Needs Work

I hope to see improvements on the typing function where a hard press on the typewriter icon will allow you to se the fonts prior to typing. Maybe allow the eraser tool to erase highlights only rather than the typed material, as you can select the type and delete it anyway. Also does it always have to open the pages screen on the left if you’ve closed it once. I appreciate it has a one-time payment option because that’s a rarity.

None Better

Goes from strength to strength. There is nothing better than MyScript Notes if you are looking for a cross platform app with a perpetual or subscription option. It does require DropBox for sync across the platform but if you don’t need mutli-platform then you don’t need DB. Complete and flexible app for multiple uses. I have seen it grow over the years. App store say it is only available for iOS but as expected, is running brilliantly on my MBP laptop on the MacOS, where I am writing this review. Congratulations and Thanks to the developers.
