User Reviews

User reviews praise Notability for organization, PDF export, templates, and AI-assisted study features, but reliability is a major issue. Repeated crashes, freezes, and lag plague use; syncing and loading problems cause inaccessible or disappeared notes. The move to a paid subscription with cloud-based features has drawn criticism, especially from long-time users. Overall, the app is powerful when functioning, but unstable and expensive for students and professionals who need consistent, timely access to their notes.

Pros

Strong organization features with intuitive folders and subjects, plus easy conversion of notes to PDFs.
Flexible import options and robust PDF export, making it easy to share or review notes.
AI-supported study aids and quizzes that help with review and learning.
Rich note-taking toolkit with templates and drawing capabilities for varied note formats.

Cons

Frequent crashes, freezes, and performance lag, sometimes failing to register input (e.g., Apple Pencil).
Ongoing syncing and loading problems: notes not loading, disappearing, or taking hours to sync.
Shift to a subscription model and paywalls for features like iCloud backup/sync, increasing cost and restricting functionality.
Data accessibility issues over time, including long-standing inability to access or recover notes across devices.
