### 3/5 — Missing one element

*2023-01-22, version 4.0.4*

LOVE this app for note taking. It recognizes my bad handwriting almost flawlessly, arranging notes is simple and adding in charts and graphs is easy. I can even search my own notes for keywords! My ONLY problem is the implementation of the dark mode. My created docs have a dark mode but my scanned in PDFs are still white. This is the only reason why I still have notability on my iPad because I can read essays at night. Once Nebo adds this feature I’m ALL IN! I’ll be recommending it to everyone without my current caveat.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your thoughts – we love that you love Nebo!
Thanks also for letting us know what exactly you love about the app. We listen to all feedback and your request is under consideration. Mila

### 3/5 — Key missing piece

*2021-10-31, version 3.3.1*

I can’t zoom in to my notes. No pinching, no opening images that were taken with the app, and landscape is only barely helpful. 
The best workaround is to export as PDF each time.

### 4/5 — Love! One Area for improvement though…

*2021-06-04, version 3.2.2*

Absolutely love this— i can write and make notes like in GoodNotes but i can type notes way better than in GoodNotes— GoodNotes makes my typed notes in like text boxes whereas this one will start typing on a line for your and you can still scribble between typing on a note. You can import and export and sync with the upgrades too! 

My suggestion however (and hope) is for a Mac app as well to allow for more cohesiveness across iOS devices. 

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE add a Mac store app!!! Would make this app 5 stars and absolutely perfect!!!!

### 4/5 — Good but flaw

*2021-05-16, version 3.2.1*

It can’t remember the last read position, and keeps start from the page I edited on iPad. 

I use it to read my books on iPhone, hope you can fix it.

**Developer response:** Es tut uns leid, von Ihren Schwierigkeiten mit der Nebo Viewer App zu hören. Wir verstehen, wie frustrierend dies sein kann. Um das Problem zu lösen, empfehlen wir Ihnen, die App zu deinstallieren und erneut herunterzuladen oder den Support unter https://app-support.myscript.com/en/support/tickets zu kontaktieren. Dies sollte alle Fehler beheben. Wir danken Ihnen für Ihr Verständnis und Ihre Geduld. Mila

### 1/5 — Not intuitive

*2022-03-17, version 3.3.4*

Created an account. Couldn’t figure out in the iPad app how to create a notebook. Clearly a very poorly designed app. Intuitive is essential.

**Developer response:** Hello there! Thanks for your feedback. Please make sure that the Nebo app on your iPad is not the Nebo *Viewer* app in which you can only view your notes and not create any. If you need any further assistance or you have more questions, please do not hesitate to contact the Support team at https://app-support.myscript.com. Mila

### 1/5 — My document just keeps loading!!!

*2022-02-13, version 3.3.4*

As I was finishing my very long study guide, the app randomly kept freezing and closed. I opened the app, and my document was blank and kept loading. I tried turning off my ipad and waited a few hrs, but it’s still not recovering. I wouldn’t trust this app if you are taking notes/studying for serious classes. I am in nursing school, so I literally started started crying. Never using it again!

**Developer response:** Sorry to hear that. I hope you contacted our Support at https://app-support.myscript.com. Our support agents do their best to repair and restore all the damaged data. Probably, the document you were working on was too big to be processed correctly. The issue you had on your iPad does not concern the iPhone viewer feedback. Thanks, Mila

### 1/5 — Great concept but…

*2021-11-10, version 3.3.1*

Program will not sync without losing information! Customer support has been ineffective. Extremely disappointing and expensive to have to recoup lost information, truly permanently lost

### 2/5 — What is the point

*2023-07-26*

Why even bother? All this app can do is let you view your notes. You cant edit, manage or even delete your notes. Its pointless. At least let me manage my notebooks and notes that i take or at least let me edit text notes. This is so useless

**Developer response:** We apologize for any inconvenience caused. We understand your frustration with the limited functionality of the Nebo Viewer app. We appreciate your feedback and would like to inform you that we are constantly working on improving our apps. We have taken note of your suggestions regarding editing, managing, and deleting notes, as well as managing notebooks. Your feedback is invaluable to us, and we will strive to incorporate these features in future updates for the Nebo Viewer. Thank you for your understanding. Mila

### 2/5 — Deleting notes

*2023-03-02, version 4.0.10*

Keeps deleting my notes through sync for no reason I just lost a months worth of notes

**Developer response:** Sorry to hear that. Can you contact us via our support channel: https://app-support.myscript.com/ then on the top of the screen My tickets and submit one (please explain to us your problem, providing us with all the details). We will provide assistance and guidance and try to solve your problem. Bets regards, Sebastian.

### 2/5 — Great app but broken login process

*2022-12-16, version 4.0.0*

The app works great on iPad. Unfortunately, for those such as myself who made their account with Apple, the iPhone app doesn’t let you log in, thus it isn’t functional on iPhone. It’s a shame since I really wanted this to replace Notability for my use case.

### 2/5 — Keeps crashing and notes disappear

*2022-07-28, version 3.4.0*

As much as I like the app when it works, it’s crashed on me several times before I can backup or sync my most recent notes. Since there is no auto sync or auto backup feature, it’s incredibly annoying to have to have to remember to sync or back up notes to iCloud or Dropbox. Not worth paying for the premium version. Likely gonna go back to using Evernote.

### 2/5 — Why not let us edit the notes on iPhone as well?

*2021-05-20, version 3.2.1*

Great app on android / iPad, but why is the iPhone app being unnecessarily limited to just viewing notes created on other platforms? At least being able to add text via the keyboard would be nice

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We know editing content is crucial for our users, so this will be a focal point for future releases. Best, Mila

### 3/5 — some new bug

*2023-08-10*

i cannot login in the account  which  is  registered  by  my apple Id in  china， and the newwork is  shown to be wrong，my mobile is iPhone 12 Pro max，iOS16.1.2， but this app works well in my iPad Pro，iPad OS 16.1.1

**Developer response:** Feel free to contact our dedicated Support team for any further assistance you may need. They can be reached easily through our support page at https://app-support.myscript.com. We greatly appreciate your patience and understanding. Best Regards, Mila

### 5/5 — Nice to access notes on phone

*2023-08-24*

I don’t mind that I can’t edit things. In fact it’s better that way. I know my notes won’t be altered by messing around with them on my phone. I’m not sure why this isn’t rated 5 stars but hope the issues are worked out. Haven’t bumped into any myself.

(Update: hm they made the syncing easier nice)

### 5/5 — Can we make the iPhone app editable?

*2022-05-19, version 3.3.4*

Love the iPad version. The iPhone companion would be better with the ability to edit. Also, please improve the MacBook experience. The website version doesn’t work too well.

### 5/5 — Good app

*2022-01-30, version 3.3.4*

Enjoying it thus far.

### 5/5 — Very useful

*2021-10-06, version 3.3.1*

Nebo is exceptional. I can easily go from typing organized note outlines to writing and completing math by hand in class. Full disclosure: I do have a tablet so that makes things easier. Nebo is also great for exporting or importing notes and documents for editing. Fully recommend, I use it every day!

### 5/5 — Best companion App

*2021-06-06, version 3.2.2*

I use the app all the time. 

Suggested enhancements:
-Make check box editable so you can mark or unmark a note. 
-Allow folders to be edited for names
-Allow notes to be moved from one folder to another. 

Awesome!

### 5/5 — Love the app!

*2021-05-26, version 3.2.2*

Don’t know how I survived before this app. It’s my everything for literally everything. Use it everyday. Couldn’t recommend more.

### 4/5 — Love it but...

*2022-12-23, version 4.0.2*

I wish the sync was automatic rather than manual. It would be awesome if we could check off checklists at least. Other than that, I love it!

### 4/5 — Dark Mode

*2022-05-09, version 3.3.4*

Please make a dark mode! My eyes get really tired after working on a white screen for so long. Also, it would be really nice to be able to adjust the “smoothing” of the pencil. This a feature Adobe has for its programs.

### 4/5 — .

*2021-06-12, version 3.2.2*

I absolutely love that I can read my notes on my iPhone now but being able to use the keyboard to edit text would be nice in the future. Other than that, I love everything about this app and is a life saver for a writer like me!
