## Reviews

### "User friendly, stay organized, all notes in one place" — 5.0/5

> **Baylie** | *24 April 2024* | Veterinary | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Organize each subject separately. Making calendars, note taking, downloading files and more is so easy, fast and convenient\! I have thousands of pages of notes and downloaded files, the app saves them all on google drive if you want it set up. Easy to navigate and have separate subjects and files within drop down menus.
> 
> **Cons**: Nothing bad to say about notability. It has truly done wonders for my studying at veterinary school .

### "High Utility, Promising New Features" — 4.0/5

> **Madden** | *27 April 2023* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I have used Notability the past five years as a student and it has been essential in keeping my information organized and easily accessible on all my devices. I also love the new tape feature, it has already been a quick addition to my workflow for learning.
> 
> **Cons**: The cloud syncing really should be much faster, if I have the same document open on my computer and iPad it takes far too long for them to catch up. That and I often have to restart the Mac app as pages will just randomly be blurry.
> 
> Despite the small flaws, I don't see a near future where I'm not using Notability on a daily basis - its essential to my workflow as a student.

### "Good notes taking app for school and university students in need to develop productivity skills" — 5.0/5

> **Himanshu** | *05 October 2022* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: to be able to work on text, scribble and subjects to divider mechanism to divide each section in predefined format. also having different notes template that fits in school, university and research background which are handy. one can also work it out in social experiments requiring working on multiple pdf questionnaires into subject specific.  also the with audio ability to record interviews and lecture is plus point in case for individual which like taking up revision and optimising the notes at later phases
> 
> **Cons**: The pricing mechanism on the application have been shifted annual which is downside for those individual for whom this application have been designed. if following could have been something like 30-50 $ for version and if there are major feature updates, they could make version once in every 3-5 years which can be provided as upgrade for exisintng user at certain discount and retain the 30-50$ price. additionally family sharing could be restricted to single user across multiple devices, instead of provided family sharing which can provide better ability to understand usages and version upgrade feasibility.
> 
> having bought it as my first notes taking application and having it at base price with no annual pricing. I initially had no such use of the application. however overtime with understanding of notes and reducing paper footprint in long way have been major motivators for me utilising this application. however due to its annual pricing the feature that I bought initially have been the only one that I am using as the feature that I forgot to buy in initial phase due to restricted financial income have not really affecting my work but same may not be said for current new user who go though annual subscriptions. &#10;&#10;overall the application is great for usage and has good interface in comparison to goodnotes and native notes taking application.

### "One of the best note taking/making apps available" — 5.0/5

> **Jussi** | *30 April 2022* | Management Consulting | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The ease of use and UX are way better than any other similar tools. The audio recording and its synch with the note taking is a killer feature and works like a charm.
> 
> **Cons**: The folder structure is not flexible enough for advanced use.
> 
> I have been using Notability since it became available. It has had a very good roadmap and the company has been very careful not to convolute the tool with unnecessary features. It is a very tight and well rounded product. A true workhorse of note taking.

### "Simple & Amazing Organization with Easy Features" — 5.0/5

> **Bree** | *16 November 2021* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: My favorite features about Notability is definitely the organization of notes. You can create folders that are easy to access with as many separate notes as you need, and you can create categories to separate the folders. Everything is super easy to access and create as a user. Importing and exporting are easier than making coffee. The Lasso Tool in Notability can move things around, make them bigger or smaller, copy it, and duplicate. You can turn handwritten words to text, and you can even keep recorded notes\!
> 
> **Cons**: There isn’t anything super specific that is outrageously bad, but this is definitely not an app for drawing or being creative. It’s only function is to take notes in all different ways.
> 
> My overall experience has been fabulous. I have used Notability for two years now and tried many different note-taking applications, but this is the simplest and user-friendly app I have used.
