## Notability Reviews in United States

### *---- "Predatory and gross business practices"
This app had its time but after the forced subscription service, its not worth it. The way they handled the original customers is enough for me to delete this app forever. Find an alternative
-- golfinho305, 2025-01-04

### ****- "Needs work"
It was great for a while but then out of no where I wasn’t able to load any templates
-- Sugarshooter, 2025-01-03

### ***** "Good stuff"
My first note taking app on my first iPad. Lot’s to learn. Thanks for helping me.
-- Agaliatsatos, 2025-01-03

### ***** "Love my Notability"
It’s excellent.  Fun and Creative.
-- Mercy's Blog, 2025-01-03

### ***** "Love it!"
I am new to note taking apps, but I love this for editing by hand my books and taking notes on podcasts and other things I want to do.
-- Elizabeth Kitchens, 2025-01-02

### ***-- "Meh"
It’s a good app, but I’m still in school so you can guess that I’m not planning on paying for this app, which means it annoys me that i have to switch to a different app when it tells me that I have , ‘reached my limit’ for the day, I would luv this app, but I’m guessing that’s going to be the main reason that most people would delete it,I’m going to continue using the app, I’m just choosing write a review so that other will know before downloading.
-- Lydgail411, 2025-01-02

### ****- "add function"
We hope to add learning cards and the ability to recognize and locate text just like goodnote6
-- wurli@？, 2025-01-02

### *---- "Limited now?"
Yes you have to pay to used more or edit ,the app was great in their time I remember but now is trash bc you time limited reset or you have to pay ! It’s really shameful.
-- Vampydort, 2025-01-02

### ****- "Custom sorting!! PLEASE"
I LOVE the app! Only complaint is, I NEED custom sorting for my documents pls. I have both subscriptions to notability and goodnotes. So far notability is my to go but without more sorting options i might just stick with goodnotes.
-- Cherrlixx, 2025-01-02

### ****- "Highly recommend"
I love this app. I use it for school, work and my personal life. I love the variety of templates and that you can make your own. I love the dividers and subjects for organizing. Only thing I wish was having a share option so you can choose to share with someone and allow them to make edits and you can see the edits live in your side. I think that would be a cool feature. But I love this app.
-- Worst company ever..!, 2025-01-01

### ***-- "Need folder section"
Right now, I'm using Notability from five years ago, and the folder system is one item that definitely needs to be included. It will be more comfortable and organised. I hope feature versions will have that.
-- Khalil AH., 2025-01-01

### *---- "Greedy"
This app is another fraudulent subscription based platform DO NOT DOWNLOAD!
-- Imfreakingboss12, 2025-01-01

### ***** "I love it!"
Very simple to navigate and easy to transfer notes for my studies!
-- yeunaysabelleyoon, 2025-01-01

### ***** "Appreciate that long time users have Classic Edition"
The app is great for jotting notes quickly and being able to get details that you need without all the extra steps that make note taking tedious. I’ve used notability since its early launch. I used it in college for all note taking and now use it to efficiently to collect and organize ideas & thoughts.
-- J.Ha., 2025-01-01

### ***-- "Good but…"
This app is amazing it’s so cute has good writing options and everything. The template s are the best out of all the apps I’ve tried. However I hate that the subscription for it is yearly rather than a one time payment like some other app of this kind. If it was a one time payment for the plus I would definitely purchase that but I can’t justify paying yearly for this kind of app.
-- PunkBearHair, 2025-01-01

### ***** "Why I love drawing"
I love it and I’m a artist!
-- Aasiyah garland, 2024-12-31

### ***** "Useful Tool"
Notability is a very useful too. The app is very versatile and user friendly
-- Jbcdawg, 2024-12-31

### ***-- "Need more direction"
Organizing more rapid access 
by subject devision suggestions needed.
-- Best Calander, 2024-12-30

### *---- "Doesn’t back up"
The app is not backing up and the form to contact support doesn’t work. It is not possible to contact support from their website either. This is a disaster because I entrusted data that I don’t want to lose to this app.
-- BibiH, 2024-12-30

### ***** "Very useful"
This app is one of the best 10 apps which i have on ipad and iphone, which for I pay subscription with huge pleasure. Because this app is so easy in use, and very effective. Any businessman need to have this app on his devices
-- Parvin Zaki, 2024-12-29
