"Note-taking with Notability"
What do you like best about Notability?

Notability if multi-functional and allows for many options in how you handle your note taking and what you do with them after-the-fact. It integrates easily into my LMS and is very easy to use for just about any type of scribbling and note taking. I use it on a daily basis in my teaching because it has so many options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Notability?

The formatting within notability is not the best. There are relatively few options for how to organize the notes, and it takes some personal creativity to make your notes look interesting and to distinguish between sections of your notes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Notability is more than just a digital notebook."
What do you like best about Notability?

With a clean design and a variety of writing tools Notability makes/simple to switch between different strokes and shades making it easy to visually understand my data. Not only does it allow me to integrate images or diagrams into my notes but also allows me to draw, making note taking more dynamic; and it gives me the ability to view and modify my files from my iPad or Mac. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Notability?

It has my expectations covered, Notability's combination of simplicity and adaptability make it one of my favorite tools for managing my information and ideas. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Notability provides many different tools to make your notebooks unique, and meet your specific needs"
What do you like best about Notability?

Notability has an extremely simple interface. It reminds me of Apple software in that it doesn't appear at first to be able to do much; the incredible power of the app is lurking beneath the simple surface.

I love how easy it is to open the app up and just start taking notes right away, and the ability to connect with vocal recordings is awesome. Additionally I love that the apple pencil writing tools are robust enough to make complex diagrams, but not so complicated that it's not intuitive to use.

Finally, I love all the different paper templates, as well as the ability to import your own templates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Notability?

There isn't much that i don't like about Notability, but if i had to nitpick these would be my complaints:

- The interface for converting handwritten text to copyable text isn't very robust

- I wish there was a way to archive notebooks

- I wish there were more sticker options Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The most complete note-taking app"
What do you like best about Notability?

About Notability I like the most that it has a very simple and intuitive interface. I like how the folders and documents are organised. I also love all the features and the fact that you can record audio notes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Notability?

I dislike the subscription payment mode. At the beginnings you could buy the App with a one time payment and it was perfect, but now everything is a suscription. In this way it doesn't matter how many money you have paid, if you miss the payment you lose the right to use the app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Notability review"
What do you like best about Notability?

I like how easily we can organise all our notes in one place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Notability?

One thing I dislike in Notability is that the free version of the app comes with limited edits for each month and there is o clear statement as to what constitutes an edit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Notability is a shareable whiteboard!"
What do you like best about Notability?

I use Notability as a whiteboard that I can project in my classroom or share during online meetings. I can save and share the pages of the document, too. Importing images into the Notability document is easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Notability?

I wish editing imported images were more intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Notability is my fave digital notebook!"
What do you like best about Notability?

I like how easy it is to use the application's different tools. It makes it easy to take engineering classes, make calculations, draw models and send everything to myself or peers in various formats. It's also good to brainstorm ideas for events, engineering problems, group meetings, and more! I also use it as a planner and read PDFs and take notes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Notability?

So far, I've liked almost everything! Maybe they could add more options to save different types of favorite tools. For example, I have pens/markers for meetings and others that I prefer to use for math problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Fantastic addition to my research reading"
What do you like best about Notability?

I am someone who has to read dozens of research articles every week, and no debility helps me to stay organized and helps me to feel like I'm really digging into the things I am reading Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Notability?

I don't love the import process is five or six steps it feels like at least. I wish it was easier to create presets so that things could be entered more smoothly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simply put, this is an excellent application"
What do you like best about Notability?

I used notability for note-taking, thought download, meeting preparation, planning, and a whole host of other tasks in both my personal and professional life. Simply put, it is an excellent application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Notability?

Essentially nothing. All of the features are simple and easy to use. And somehow it is also a fun application to use. Great tool and resource - no complaints from me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great For Note Taking and Filling Out Forms"
What do you like best about Notability?

I love that notability allows you to combine several different ways of altering a document -- writing with an Apple Pencil or other stylus and typing. There is also a highlight function. Changing how you alter documents is also really easy with the lasso tool, which you can also use to make things that you have written larger or small. This makes editing documents easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Notability?

I dislike the sharing function. I have had a hard time backing up my Notability files to an online source such as Google Drive. I have also noticed that emailing documents can be tricky. There is a function where you can back up your files to the cloud and share with a Mac computer; however, the notes usually look different on the computer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
