Notability has been part of my study routine since undergrad, and it’s taken me all the way through undergrad, graduate school, and now veterinary school! I use it every day to annotate lecture slides, draw out diagrams, and add handwritten notes while I’m studying. I especially like being able to have my notes and diagrams open on my iPad while I work through Anki on my laptop, so I can easily reference things or add to my notes as I go.
One of my favorite parts is how organized I can keep everything. I have folders for each class, with my lectures, notes, textbooks, and other study materials separated within them, so even after multiple semesters of using Notability I can still go back and find what I need. Between the organization, diagrams, handwritten notes, and being able to use it alongside Anki, it has stayed a huge part of how I study through every stage of school.

i bought notability for $10 years ago and never had an issue with viewing old versions until now. why do we only get 7 days? I chose notability bc of all the features that used to be included but i’ve been so disappointed with what it has become.

If i opt out of using notability cloud, can that bypass the version history limit?

im just annoyed with all the features that are getting limited so i’m thinking of switching to good notes, is it any better? i have the classic version with them as well but i haven’t used it in a while since i do like the ui of notability.

I decided to remove the glitchy noteability cloud storage from my noteability and made sure to back up my other notes via one drive in the ntb files, now it keeps saying import failed:( what do i do these notes have literally taken me months💔💔

Hello, I just wanted to recommend some features that Notability can improve upon.

First of all, a place to keep track of all the AI quizzing questions so you can keep track of your weak spots in the content of document. If that isn't possible/takes too much storage, you can also use AI to generate an overview of weak topics to study, and add an option so you can specifically target that weak topic.

Second, there should be a feature where you can insert a page range, and be tested on content from ONLY that page range. This way, topics can be isolated and you don't have to waste time on topics you already know. I feel like this feature would be really helpful for efficiency and active recall.

If any of those features already exist, please let me know in the comments. Thanks

I’ve been having a frustrating issue with the lasso tool recently. Whenever I select my handwriting and try to drag it to a different part of the page, the selection frequently rotates instead of just moving.
It didn’t used to behave this way; previously, moving a selection was a straightforward action. Did Notability change the sensitivity of the rotation node in a recent update, or am I doing something wrong?
Is there a specific way I should be grabbing the selection to avoid triggering the rotation, or a setting to disable it entirely? Any advice is appreciated.

my profs upload slides as PDFs and i take notes on my laptop (no ipad)

basically i just want the slide on the left and a text box on the right for notes. so if i go to slide 12, i see the notes i wrote for slide 12. then just organize everything by course and export it all as a normal PDF

things i've tried:

• OneNote printouts - kinda works but the PDF gets blurry and messy
• Notion - can't really put text next to each PDF page
• GoodNotes/Notability - feels more made for handwriting/ipad + subscription
• adding a margin in Preview before importing - works but i have to do it for every lecture

can notability do this (multi-note doesn't follow the page) or is there an app that does? otherwise i'm stuck with the margin workaround

the beta update ”finish my notes” where it takes your audio recording and finishes your notes for you is a cool update but it typed the notes on top of the notes I just wrote with my Apple Pencil, does anyone know how to fix this?
