1. 5/5Best note-taking app for iPad!

   I have loved this app since I downloaded it several years ago & recommend it to everyone! I appreciate that unlike most apps I’ve tested, this one doesn’t immediately convert handwriting to text but instead allows you to double-tap when you’re ready to convert. I find that much less distracting than other methods! Nebo’s “note” mode has the ability to endlessly scroll in any direction, which is also apparently a rare feature that I needed. The “document” mode works wonderfully when I need to take general notes - sometimes it’s better than I am at deciphering my handwriting - and I love that I can add sections sketches and math amongst the normal text. I will say I am hoping for an update to PDF editing at some point - Nebo doesn’t seem to “remember” any part of the PDF that isn’t actively onscreen, and those parts have to reload and resize every time you move the PDF around. Not a deal-breaker for me but it’s gotten more annoying as I’ve started taking notes directly on lecture slides. Just hoping that the experience of moving around a PDF will become as smooth as moving around a board. Overall though, definitely the best note-taking app I’ve tried (and I’ve tried a lot!) and the pro version is a one-time purchase which I really appreciate!! Wish more software still used this model :)

2. 5/5Suggestion about Latex

   Not sure if anyone in the fields of math/physical sciences who uses this app has already suggested this, but it would be GREATLY appreciated if nebo was able to provide a mode where the entire handwritten text could be converted to Latex, so that it would be functional for writing proofs, derivations, theorems, laws, etc. As of now there is no app with this capability, which is why it is so crucial for math/physical sciences students to learn Latex typesetting in order to write research papers and longer works that include both natural spoken language and mathematical symbols. However, I feel that Nebo has the potential to fill this space, seeing how powerful the "Math" section that can be added to regular pages already is. While it is very useful and well made, it is limited since ordinary languages like English cannot be recognized in the same section. If Nebo were able to develop a way to recognize and convert hand written mathematical proofs and other similar types of text to Latex, it would absolutely be the primary notes app of choice for EVERY individual studying higher level math, physics, or chemistry. Suggestions aside, Nebo is an amazing app with all of its other features!!

3. 4/5Love the app but need to be able to control brightness of the lines

   I’m old and my entire adult life I’ve been a writer: books, poetry, journals. And I always wrote longhand with pen on paper, which is nothing short of magical, or spiritual depending on your sensibilities. Nothing can replace the power of writing with a comfortable pen and a clean sheet of ruled paper. The problem is my cursive handwriting is brutal to read, and after writing the first draft of a novel out by hand and having to try to read and decipher it to type it up on a computer… well, it’s tedious and dispiriting to say the least, and the laboriousness of the task extends the process out longer than it should be, or, with Nebo, need be. While I will most likely always have regrets no longer writing with pen and paper, I will also always thank the gods of writing for the app. It can read my chicken scratch way better than I. And as for the transcription process from cursive to computer ready, ha ha, it’s now literally done at the speed of light instead of taking me long, brutal months filled with strained eyes and headaches. The only reason I give the blessing of an app 4 stars instead of 5 is because, like I said, I’m old and my vision isn’t the greatest, which makes the ruled lines mighty hard for me to see. So, once there is an option to darken, or lighten, the lines, then yeah, consider this a 5-star review… and then some.

4. 2/5bugs, bugs, bugs

   If there is one thing that has defined this app for me, it is how buggy it is. Paying as much as I’ve paid (at least $15 across 3 platforms) for the app, I’d at least expect the most basic services to be available. While typing notes on my computer, with Nebo open on my iPad, I synced my computer, and lost hours of notes taken on my iPad. Why is background sync not enabled? Why am I syncing manually? Don’t you think I’d want everything synced always? I’ve already lost pages of notes on several occasions because I forgot to sync, or like this last occasion, I synced on the wrong device at the wrong time. The text conversion software is pretty good, at least 90% accurate. The gestures are more cumbersome than useful. I hate that I cannot input a page of a pdf into an existing text document, can only add it in a separate page. That’s frustrating. Even the text document input is annoying. Why is everything automatically double-spaced? If I am typing and press enter to enter a line of text beneath the current line, like this, Nebo will instead open a new text bubble and leave the old one behind. So this means I have to type everything out, then go back with the buggy pen-gestures, to get everything connected together again in a way that makes sense. All I wanted was a decent replacement to OneNote and if I don’t hear from the developper in a week I will have to get my money back and resume using onenote. Even for how garbage OneNote is, it’s still not as buggy as this app.

5. 2/5Buggy

   This has been one of my favorite apps until recently- I love that I can keep a personal journal, one for podcast ideas, one for work purposes, etc. The integration with Google Drive and the ease of syncing all journals as well as saving and sharing specific pages is fantastic, and the conversion to text from writing is pretty accurate. However, in the past month I have struggled massively with extreme lagginess, app crashing or having to force restart the app, disconnection from google drive sync, and lack of responsiveness from customer service outreach which leaves me disappointed and seeking other apps. It’s taking upwards of 10 plus minutes to be able to finish writing a sentence or for the app to move to the next line, and whenever it does read the text it’s choppy and illegible most of the time. I’ve tried in multiple places with different WiFi connections, I’ve restarted the app, I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled, and even got a second Apple Pencil thinking that was the issue. I’ve tried other pencil-compatible apps and even did a hard reset on my iPad, all to no avail. I know it’s the app, and I really hope changes are made soon so I don’t have to switch everything over to another service. I’m hoping google comes out with something similar soon, or that there will be an update to fix all of this. Nebo started out really strongly for me and has been almost unusable the last several weeks.

1. 1/5

   worst app ever , I was signed out and when I signed in back everything was deleted, all my notes were gone. And if after signing back in doesn't bring my notes back then what's even the point of adding a sign in option, if everything is saved locally why the hell even bother people to sign up

3. 5/5

   I've found the app really useful for note taking. The features (especially the file structure and cloud synchronisation). I had a problem with my lifetime purchase of the software the other day, and support fixed it in under a day, they were super helpful.
