![]() Page rotation still needs a bit of work in Notability 11. It also disrupts the inking in the later pages of the document, the one you get when you add text to your pages directly. Be warned: rotate your page first before writing on it. Page rotation in Notability is also rotating the pages only, without rotating the ink. Until we have it for native pages too, it’s better to use custom paper templates in the app. Besides, page rotation is currently only working for PDF pages. We use our Paperless X digital notebooks anyway, so we won’t have bought those. Selling those wouldn’t make a lot of sense. ![]() All the features in Notability 11.0 are free for us, including the new paper templates. The Classic planĪt the moment, this subscription doesn’t have much value for old users who are currently on the Classic plan. Then there are some apps, like Notability, that are not free but allow users to try them for a while. There are apps that have free versions (which you can use without paying for Pro features for a lifetime). Listing Notability under free apps because it is not charging an upfront fee is inaccurate. Apple should consider putting an option for developers to tag their apps as trial versions. Given the number of edits limitations, there won’t be much to backup or sync. Since the Starter plan is just a trial version, it makes sense not to have auto-backup or iCloud syncing. Users are most likely to go for a one-time purchase than a subscription. When choosing an app, price is a big determining factor. At the moment, it does not support family sharing (which might be a reason to choose other alternatives). For all the features the app has to offer, $14.99 a year is not much (when you know from the beginning that is the commitment you’re signing up for). Notability is not free, it is now a subscription. New users can now try the full features in Notability before purchasing the app. If all note-taking apps could have a similar trial, newbies would have an easier time picking apps that suit their needs. For most people, it is the determining factor of whether or not they choose one app over another. Handwriting experience is the most important feature of a note-taking app. They are just giving you enough to see how the app works, the allowance is not enough to write any useful notes. According to their website, edits are any changes you make in a session handwriting, erasing, adding text or media. New users trying out Notability get monthly edit limitations. With all of us working together, we see a future for digital note-taking. We can also support our developers as much as we can, each of us in our capacities. Apple could also help support our top developers to help us keep using our iPads at affordable prices. Multiple sources of income always solve that problem, for all of us (developers are not exempted from this basic economic law). Our developers must accept that one app might not be enough for the financial stability they seek. Loyalty and good relationships are more valuable than money. Ginger Labs broke users’ trust and that is going to be very difficult to rebuild. We are relieved that Notability is no longer forcing its new subscription model on old users. ![]() The ‘Free’ version of Notability 11.0 is just a short free trial for potential users to get a feel of the app.
