    All Around Winner

    Date: Aug 27 2022

    Summary: I discovered Notability whilst looking for note taking apps for college. I settled here because I really liked the feature to record audio then playing it back by tapping on any markings (pen or text). I think that as a whole the app runs very smoothly and is supper user friendly. Overall, my cons list is mainly just nitpicks, and I would recommend to anyone to try it out (which you can do for free).

    Positive: 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.

    Negative: 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.
