There are often problems when importing documents. There are also problems with the digital keyboard and when you click off the keyboard it takes you back to the start of the imported document each time - something very frustrating when writing notes.
Furthermore, when creating and writing notes in a document with a pen it doesn’t allow you to do math equations - as when you draw division lines etc it often shifts all your work into a weird jumbled layout. It is also frustrating that you can not draw diagrams in the document and only in the free space drawing area.
Tips will also pop up on the screen saying you writing is too big, something which needs to be fixed and allow larger writing. The tips themselves should also be a feature that can be turned off.
Umm why?
It is a AMAZING app, but why do u have to buy more page? If only…☹️
Best writing experience
Just lacking a few features like a custom background image and ability to switch languages after creating a document.
The pen speed is super fast, if you disable the preview for text. Fantastic, use it as a notebook replacement.
Beyond All Expectations!
This is without a doubt the only hand writing conversion app ever made.
THE BEST!
THE BEST!
downloaded all kinds of note taking apps. This one is by far my favourite and the best.
New function suggestion for developers: adding PDF print outs within notes. Use case for me would be highlighting papers and adding notes, while reducing the upload time (currently I screenshot all relevant pages and insert them as photos)
I wanted to give this five stars
Because it is so brilliant! It does such an amazing job of recognition and conversion to document formats. But, (and I am hoping this is temporary), it has started losing my books:(
GOOD AT FIRST BUT GETS LAGGY AND WORK IS LOST
At first this app is great, a little laggy at times but it was still good! I used it for my studies to take a LOT of notes down. But then suddenly, the app started to glitch and stopped working, my work is gone and the app seems to be frozen, I can’t even open a new note. I updated the app, restarted my ipad many times waited hours for the app to sort itself out and yet it is still unresponsive! I am worried that I have lost all my work. I give 2 stars because nebo was a great note taking app at first and now it is unresponsive and work is gone! If there is a way I can get my work back and get nebo to work fine without glitching, I am happy to give it 5 stars cause it was a good app.
Overall, disappointing. Please help get my work back!
GETS WORSE WITH EVERY UPDATE!
GLITCHY… To give context, I have been using Nebo for 5 years now professionally and personally, it is my go-to app for note taking and studying. That being said… I’m hoping this will get the developers attention because there is no other way of getting post-purchase support! The most recent update has made a fundamental change that has effected my work flow a lot, but I cannot find any way of contacting the developers for help. I like this app and use it more than any other on my iPad. I will reinstate the 5 star rating and remove this call for help when it happens. I’m waiting on you now MyScript!!!!! The so-called support page on their website contains lots of useful information, but there is absolutely NO WAY of contacting the developers! It seems that My Script like to take your money but hate to offer a service. VERY POOR PERFORMANCE!!!
(This is my original review) I have been using Nebo in so many parts of my life at work and at home for a few years now and it just works fantastic! Note taking has become so easy. I recommend getting PaperLike screen protectors to go with this App, it increases the natural writing feel of the App. There are a few ways I think the app can get better, but any improvements at this point would only make a great app better. Like I said, don’t think about it, just get it. If you are a regular note taker, or like to write for fun. This App will not disappoint. (Until you need help from the developers!!!)
Pretty good
I think the app is quite nice. I really like the layout of the collections, notebooks and pages which allows me to see everything. And the function buttons are nice and minimal (other apps can be a bit cluttered)
However I think it needs a function for duplicating a page in a PDF (can only add a blank page so far). It would be good for note taking/annotating, and also for duplicating imported page layouts for journaling.
A function that could be improved is the highlighter. Some apps have the ability to highlight without covering text and appear under it. Nebo does do that with written text and text you add yourself, but not for text on an imported PDF.
Bought but regret it- Request to Nebo engineer
If you’re thinking to buy read!
1. Add Hand Motion for iPad
Other apps I tried had hand motions: two finger/ three fingers to undo and redo. It’s very convenient and necessary!!!
2. Customizable Double Tapping
Currently double tapping is very useless function on Nebo. Change or make it customizable.
3. Make easy to “Paste” from outer resource
I can’t paste texts when it’s blank on Document mode and I need to type some letter first then long press to find “paste”, then delete that letter. Or I tap and long press several random spaces and finally appears. Why?!?!? Extremely inconvenient.
4. Add fonts
It’s genuinely UNBELIEVABLE that there’s ONLY ONE FONT!!!!! Why?!!?
