With Apple Pencil, the app turns into your personal notebook. The ink is fine tuned and very responsive so take notes or doodle away, nobody is going to know. If too tired to do that, simply record the lecture or meeting with a tap and listen to it later. The app comes with a host of other features which we will discuss later in this article. It is a free app and a brilliant alternative to its Apple counterpart. The app is a convenient note-taking and organizing software.

It would also be cool if when your in portrait mode for the notes you have the option to be able to stack the notes top of one another instead of seeing them side. Then one last area of adjustment would be to be able to have a bookmarked notes bar like how there is a bookmarked pages within each notes bar. It would make jumping between two desired note documents a little bit easier. Thank you for making a really great app. I was using OneNote on a Surface tablet until the digitizer stopped working.

Notability was the only app to offer most of the same functionality as OneNote on a Windows tablet. I have a system of using certain colors to represent certain things, and I would like to be able to organize all those highlighters and pens into a group where I determine the order and placement. Notability does not have good support for combining multiple languages in one document at this time, especially not mixed English-Hebrew or English-Aramaic.

Please give Notability the ability to recognize and format RTL languages. I can do that natively on most Apple apps, and many 3rd party apps, so the inability to do that on Notability really sticks out. Please improve these issues, and I will gladly give it a 5 star rating. The following data may be collected and linked to your identity:.
