"I Recommend This App Weekly"

4/5

What do you like best about Notability?

This app not only makes it simple and fast to do scale drawings and make notes on them, but you can export your notes and drawings as PDFs in about three seconds! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Notability?

I have two things I dislike.

1. The "file" structure. They have these things called "Subjects" and "Dividers" and I can't keep them straight. It's non-intuitive.

2. The search function will ONLY find an actual NOTE as opposed to finding the note's "container" (the subject or divider that contains it) This needs to be improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Notability:

Be sure to set up your "subjects" and "dividers" in a way that makes it easy for you to find each note, as the search feature isn't really as robust as it should or could be. I bought the app way back when it was only $2.00 (probably five years ago?) and now it's $9.99. I marked it as "expensive" because as apps go, ten bucks is pretty expensive, BUT it's worth every penny. So relatively speaking, it's NOT expensive. One other thing is that it's very stable. I have it installed on my iPad TWO (yeah yeah, I know) but it never freezes, doesn't get buggy, updates itself when necessary and it's just great. Also, you can set it (optionally) to automatically back up your notes to Dropbox, Google Drive and more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Notability solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am able to take client notes in my own handwriting and export them directly to Evernote, Dropbox, or email without having to take the extra step of transcribing them into text first. This is a huge time saver. Secondly, I'm able to create scale drawings right on client site and export them directly to the client (or anywhere else) very quickly. This is also a time and effort saver. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
