Changing the fonts for each notes also quite fun as i can choose more relax or casual fonts for personal notes. > > **Cons**: Things that i notice with this software is, there are no option to integrate the application with third parties software like Google Chrome. It is much needed integration as it will making it easy to clipping a website or notes directly from the web browser. > > It has its pro and cons, but i feel the cons is much more and the pricing is not too bad. ----- ### "Great for Students" — 5.0/5 > **Ben** | *22 September 2024* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's super easy to use and great for students\! > > **Cons**: You do have to pay for it, but then again, a lot of other note platforms are paid (goodnotes). ----- ### "Notability" — 3.0/5 > **Sage** | *29 December 2021* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: The feature I like most with Notability is the ability to screen mirror pdfs to my tv. Being able to do this makes it quick and easy to share and edit documents with my students. I love the ability to use my pencil stylus to write directly on the document. It is also great to be able to use all of the other features that Notability offers, such as highlighting, cut, as well as being able to easily share documents with others. > > **Cons**: One issue I have with this product is that sometimes I have to make several attempts to scan and upload a document. There are also times that after it scans it does not show the correct orientation. Otherwise the product does what I need. ----- ### "Amazing software for organization and productivity, I would highly recommend it 10/10" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *29 September 2022* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Overall very user friendly software, perfect for beginners and technology experts. Very easy to use and navigate around, all the tools are fairly self explanatory which is great. There are lots of templates for like planners, journals, to do lists, daily planners available which I really like using. The software has a great organization feature where it is very easy to organize all the notes. You can also send files directly from the app without much effort and can send files to Notability with ease which is very convenient. I would highly recommend Notability if you are looking for a reliable digital notebook because it has all the useful functions you would need. Notability is always very reliable because it never crashes and fails to save my work - it has autosave. > > **Cons**: I honestly don't have anything to criticize about Notability. I wish it were free but for the $12 that I have to pay per year, I think it is honestly very worth it and a great deal. > > Great software for taking notes or planning general. Notability also pretty much all the resources and templates you would need. Saves you time with the autosave feature. Highly recommend 10/10 ----- ### "Good but pricey" — 5.0/5 > **Francisco** | *6 January 2022* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: Overall this software is great, I have used it for about 3 years and once you learn how to use it it works great. The best thing is how easy it autosaves files and loads them on all your devices ( I use it on my iPhone, MacBook, and iPad). There is no need to worry as all your files are saved and updated automatically. It has many functions and the keynote feature works like a charm. > > **Cons**: On its last version now you have to pay for it and it is expensive. it used to be free but not anymore if you are a new user. > > Great. I would recommend it if you have the money but there are plenty of free options to choose from. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/225496/notability?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/225496/notability) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
