Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • 1) The app has many size options. The different pen sizes allows me to highlight just enough text or write supper small or super large. 2) The app is great for annotating. Porting PDFs to Notability is very easy. It also has the tools one needs to annotate (pen, highlighter) but isn't bogged down by too many options. 3) I find it exports well. I find that the app is good at exporting my notes over to places such as Google Drive, where I can then share them with my classmates. 4) Amazing audio-annotation feature. I have hearing loss, so the audio recordings that are synchronized with the notes I take in class was the selling point to me -- this feature does not disappoint. 5) It has efficient organization. The app also allows me to be highly organized. I love being able to make a file for each semester of school and then have individual class folders within. 6) The app has good pricing. The app has two subscription options of $2.99 monthly or $11.99 annually. I find that for the effectiveness and ease pf the app, this price could be higher.
  • 1. There are a lot of tools to create detailed and attractive notes. 2. It allows adding audio, pictures, and other media to the notes to make it more brief. 3. It helps in keeping all the notes organized. 4. All the saved notes can be searched from a universal search button. 5. All the notes gets stored on the cloud securely.
  • - Notability is a great application to take large notes or articles because of its tools. - There multiple tools to add colours, pictures and element to make the notes more detailed and brief. - Created notes gets organized in a manner that they can be accessed easily in the future.
  • Notability's mobile version is a super convenient and has an appealing interface. The notes card is very attractive and adds a minimal touch. You can store notes in multiple ways that include, by writing, recording and scanning the documents.
  • It's a portable version of notes that offers you anywhere to write and store notes. Intuitive user interface. Handwritten notes option. Scan and store feature.

Cons

  • 1) Notability is a subscription service. The app only runs on subscription options, which can be annoying if one stops using it for a long period of time, so say the summer break from school. 2) Templates are slightly complex at first. I found that the app defaults to a blank page for its template, and it took me a few days to figure out how to change this. 3) The special shapes are tricky. Making special shapes with the pen feature, such as curved lines and arrows, can be tricky. I find that the program sometimes fails to see the difference between a hand-drawn curved arrow and a straight line.
  • 1. The price of the application is a bit too high compared to other alternatives. 2. Saving notes to Google Drive is a hassle.
  • - It serves the purpose, but it gets complex to use and does not have a simple UI. - It is difficult to gets around the application initially.
  • Not, very cost effective in platform in my usage.
  • It worked great for me. Nothing to share about cons.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • I love how simple it is to use it and that I can use it on my work computer, personal computer or on my phone. I easily and quickly note all the information I need to review, remember, or reference.
  • I like the basic premise of infinitely embedded bullet points. The interface is fast and easy to use. Backlinks and mirrors to notes somewhere else in the system were a game changer that let me get a lot more out of the tool. I also love that I can sort by hashtag and that you can toggle completed bullets on and off.
  • Really easy to use, really fast, and has been increasing in what it can do over the years. I use it for all my main notes, lists, projects, etc.
  • - Minimalism - Infinite depth - Text-centred approach - No distractions - The way it allows users to laser-focus on a particular node - Reliability - My document is very large, and the app handles it perfectly - It's very good for software developers, musicians, writers, scientists, entrepreneurs and other creative people
  • Simple yet powerful, with unbeatable ease of use. Nothing else is needed to manage your tasks or archive your knowledge.

Cons

  • Occasionally the search bar doesn't allow you to enter a space between words, but a refresh of the page fixes this. Other than that, it works great!
  • Since I’ve been a user for a long time and haven’t kept up with the updates I don’t know if I’m getting everything I could out of the tool. The iphone interface makes it a little bit difficult to drag and drop bullets and I don’t think you can multi select on the phone, so I tend to use the phone to take notes and addd info but the desktop app or webpage to organize things.
  • I worry sometimes that the app is starting to move too much in the direction of Notion or others and will sacrifice speed and ease of use by doing so. But still great so far!
  • The mobile version is a bit less convenient. But it's a minor issue.
  • I can't find any, I've been using the tool for 8 years almost daily and I'm totally satisfied.
