A little issue
So I’ve been using this app for ages now. And there’s just this one little issue I have. Aside from this issue I think the app is great.
The issue became prominent when I finally upgraded to an iPad Pro and dumped all other styluses, but stuck with the Apple Pencil.
There are two pen options, the first is fixed pen size the second is variable. The variable pen size is the issue. Before updating the middle section would be thin and the edges thick, however now it’s the opposite the middle is thick and the edges are thin. And the weird thing is, when I use the app on Mac it does the exact opposite as what I have on iPad. The middle is thin and the edges are thick! The wonderful handwriting I had come to appreciate on tablet is on alternating ground. Helllpppppp!!
Otherwise the app is breathtakingly gorgeous. Thanks for the fine work.
Not happy with recent changes
I’ve been using Notability for years now and I’ve generally been happy with my experience. I’ve recommended it to other people, who have also been happy with the app.
However, we all paid for the app and for the features that we use. The fact that we still have full access to the full feature set is why I gave this review 3 stars, instead of 2. The reason for my unhappiness is the shift to a subscription service. It feels a bit like I paid full price for the app in order to subsidise the move to make Notability free for other users. Yes, I understand that they have certain features disabled in the free version, but it still feels like a bit of an unfair transaction. I really don’t want to have add another subscription service to my already constrained student’s budget, so I don’t want to subscribe to get access to new templates and features, no matter how useful they might look.
Honestly, I’m considering finding another note-taking app that still has a once-off purchase cost. I really didn’t want to have to do this, because I’ve always liked Notability, but here we are…
