A ridiculous amount of bugs when using an Apple Pencil.
I am beyond disappointed that I even have to write this review. I have been a loyal Notability user for the past eight years, and I can confidently say that my recent experience with the app has been nothing short of frustrating. For an app that is specifically designed for note-taking and handwriting, it is embarrassing how poorly some of its most basic features function.
I recently started using a new Apple Pencil, which works perfectly fine in every other drawing and note-taking app I have tested. Yet, in Notability, it has been an absolute nightmare. Random areas of my screen suddenly become completely unresponsive to my Apple Pencil, making it impossible to write or draw in certain spots. Additionally, the partial erase feature frequently erases entire strokes instead of just the selected portion, completely defeating its purpose. Even something as simple as selecting and moving figures around the page results in excessive glitching, making basic editing tasks unnecessarily difficult.
These are not minor inconveniences. These are fundamental features that users rely on every single day. It is ridiculous that after eight years of using this app, I am now struggling to perform tasks that should be effortless. What makes this even more frustrating is that my Apple Pencil functions perfectly in other applications, making it clear that these issues are specific to Notability.
For an app that markets itself as a reliable, high-quality note-taking platform, this level of functionality is unacceptable. Users should not have to constantly work around glitches just to take notes, erase handwriting, or move objects across a page. Instead of focusing on adding new features, Notability needs to prioritize fixing the basic tools that its longtime users depend on. After eight years of loyalty, I genuinely expected better. I hope the developers take these complaints seriously and address these issues rather than continuing to overlook problems that make the app increasingly frustrating to use.

Loss of Data, Fixed Nothing, Very Unhappy
So disappointed that this app failed. Erased several medical notes that were digitally handwritten, as well as slides from instructors where i wrote notations atop in a new layer. I used the Notability Pro at $99 plus tax per year and am very frustrated the staff at notability seemed to flake out, do nothing to try to restore lost data, or send AI responses to my repeated requests for account assistance.
