User reviews

*Continually Updated* Review

I’m continually changing my review according to Notability’s responses — this review pertains to the new, Notability Cloud feature. Since this feature has gone online, the cloud refuses to update between my MacBook and my iPad on a regular basis. Some days it will work as intended but most days, I have to export the note, send it to myself via iMessage, and then download it again on the other device for my notes to sync. It can be a real pain.

Used to be good

Should not require an internet connection. Constantly requires redownloading notes. Slow.

DONT DOWNLOAD

Don’t bother it doesn’t work, WAS GREAT NOW AWFUL DUE TO CLOUD UPDATE.

WHERE IS MY STUFF

I was literally reading a file in the app and when I exited, everything was gone, including the document I had just been using. I would love to know how I can recover my documents, as all of my class notes, readings, and homework were in Notability.

Absolutely horrible, and everything I see online indicates this is a common issues… yikes!

notes content shifting

i have noticed all my recent notes contents have been shifted, such as pictures, handwritten notes, and typed notes. this is very frustrating and it doesn’t get fixed even when i did troubleshooting and updated the app. please fix it asap.
