   too simple and halfbaked on android

   Negative comment by Guest · Mar 24, 2022

   Onenote is not so intuitive. Its just awkward. And i dont know this yet but would bet you need good internet access to use it. Notability was easy first use if i remember right. Who are those clowns and why dont they have an android version yet???!!!!

   GoodNotes vs Notability Comments

   Negative comment by Guest · Mar 4, 2020

   There is no ability to record. Also, they have discontinued support for previous versions and forced users to upgrade without notice. I bought GoodNotes 4 and it stopped working within 3 months. Notability also has issues, and there is no dependable note taking app at the moment. OneNote seems good, but can't record while taking notes at the same time, unless using separate apps, and it has a clunky interface.

   Positive comment by Guest · May 4, 2020

   Because you can do almost anything that notibility allows you to do.

   Negative comment by Guest · Jun 8, 2019

   Notability is very focused on handwritten notes and sketches. Zoho Notebook is way off in this comparison

    Negative comment by Guest · Dec 31, 2019

    Notability is all about taking handwritten noted and annotating pdfs by hand - not the closest thing in terms of notability
