Glitches terribly with Ipad Air
I’ve been religiously using this app for a year now as a medical student and it’s been glitching bad when using my ipad and apple pencil combo.
Medical school is content heavy so I try to take down notes as much and as fast as I can. But this app keeps giving me a hard time and leaves me frustrated every time I write my notes. The interface, the ai quiz, the features are all good but the doing the basic task of note writing is where it’s failing?
I replaced my pencil thinking it was the reason for the glitching, learned it wasnt. I switched to different note taking apps for a few days to see if its really my ipad or my pencil. It wasn’t. I even bought drawing gloves thinking I was just sweaty and that causes the glitch.

Getting Worse
How does an app progressively get worse with each update? It’s cool to add in new features, but it seems to be at the expense of the app’s performance. Losing notes, app freezing, handwriting appearing elsewhere, tools not working as they should… let’s focus on making sure the app works as it’s intended rather than trying to show off what “cool” features it has. It’d be cool to reliably use the app. I used to love Notability, but I’m probably going to find something else soon. This is ridiculous.

Not for laptop
I love Notability for iPAD but using it on any other device is terrible. The website is plain text and the MacOS app does not support different fonts and formatting. I use my laptop almost exclusively at work and I can’t take notes on here in the same way I can with my iPad. If it were better for laptops, I would love this app. Such a bummer.

iCloud Syncing removed
The app has removed iCloud syncing…I paid full price for the app (before subscriptions) and had been using it daily for my work and loved the app. Today the app has been updated to remove iCloud syncing - DISASTER for me and my workflows.
Tried contacting support for help but ignored.
This is a forced transfer of my private documents from iCloud (secure) to Notability Cloud (stored on servers in the US) - a huge privacy risk!

What happened?
I’ve never written an app review in the 15 years I’ve been using Apple products. I used to absolutely LOVE your app. It helped me earn two master's degrees and was a total lifesaver. The performance and features were perfect - no bugs whatsoever. It was a pure joy to use. I recommended it to everyone and still use it actively myself. Unfortunately, lately it has become practically impossible to use. It constantly lags and freezes. Using it is a source of endless frustration. It takes a lot to make me stop using something I’m used to - I even buy the same brand of car every time, but now I’m seriously considering switching to something else for my notes and records. Please fix!
