Wanting more money after already paying

Armada coddle on

I paid for this app a few years ago, now when I open it it wants $30 a year. Not worth it. I already paid you, stop being greedy.

?

Sky_lah on

Notabilityis ok, but everytime I try to zoom in it doesn’t let me zoom in all the way. It’s very hard to write on and I can’t put a text over a picture. That needs to be fixed.

Love Notability!

Deeeaaannnooooo on

Notability is such an easy to use app and integrates well into my studies! I have been using notability for the last 3 years and the app updates are always great. So easy to navigate and organise notes quickly and effectively. I use notability across both my laptop and iPad which helps a lot with integration. I use Notability to compile and edit lecture content from all of my classes. A lot of uni content (medicine) there is a large volume of information so the tools available in notability makes this process much easier.

Notability Freezing

RCheal on

The app keeps freezing and I lose my work. Seems to happen when I have split screens open on iPad. Annoying. Great app when it works.

Brilliant app

KiwiASG on

Absolutely love everything about it. The only thing I would love is a calligraphy pen (not simply the fountain pen) option!

Subscription model?

Janimfnm on

Since when is it acceptable for a product i paid money to have full functionality for to one day decide otherwise? Give me a refund you thieves

Becoming glitchy

gunna288 on

Sure wish I could roll back to an earlier version. Was the best note app I’ve used. 5 if they kept interface consistent

Bring back the favourites pen and highlighter

donalddoubou on

I just updated mine and regreted the whole thing, bring back the favourite button for all the pencils and highlighters

Awful Update

_becca_s_ on

Not only do the new updates visually and functionally ruin the app, it has now started crashing and freezing. I never had this problem with the older versions, very disappointed

Great app, but stop spamming ads, please.

Solussar on

I’ve used Notability for a long time, purchasing it before it changed to a subscription-based model. A huge gripe is I’m unable to dismiss an ad prompting me to sign up for Plus. It permanently obscures part of the page view panel and it’s obnoxious at this point. I’m far less likely to subscribe in future if you employ these sorts of tactics. It’s significantly affecting the usability of the app. Look into this, please.
