Community reviews for Notability

This is a powerful app for annotating PDFs, that's true. However, in my opinion, it can be exponentially more powerful as a tool to give students feedback on their writing. This is possible because in addition to writing annotations on PDFs, you can also record voice comments, which I have used as a way to conference virtually with my students on their writing. My next steps mgiht be to have students use the app to provide powerful peer feedback.

I use notability on daily basis with my students. One of the biggest pluses is that students can write on and annotate PDFs. Students take can take notes in a variety of formats--written (typed and handwritten), photos, and drawings. It did take my students a few uses to figure out their favorite way to take notes (zoomed in, space for wrist to set, types, hand-written) but now they all take notes in a way that suits them.

I like the multiple ways one may get created materials out of the app such as Dropbox or Google Drive.

I think this program is perfect for any subject. I am an art teacher and my students use it to critique art by dragging the images in and writing their reflection right next to it. Simple, clean and efficient for my use. I also use it to create art and screen shot it to use for my web-based assignments. Love it.

Notability is great when giving lectures or presentations. To project remotely from an iPad while annotating the screen is a great advantage to traditional methods. Teachers can now move about the room and make sure students are fully engaged and participating. The annotations stay with the presentation and will be saved for later use. Students can do the same with their own notes, keeping a digital set of notes.

This app somehow seems to make your handwriting look good even when you don't have good handwriting, which makes it fun to take notes. I find it very useful as a notetaking tool or for filling out PDFs. There is also an organized filing system to keep track of your notes.

Notability is a "must have". My students and I use it on a daily basis. It's easy to use, especially for note-taking or art projects. There is a magnifier that lets the user write fine, detailed notes. It's easy to create shapes and import images, also.

I have used the app in various roles in my job as a coach. I go into varying classrooms and need to have something where students can show me their work. In the 2nd grade classroom I use it for letting them read stories and then they are able to transfer it to a qr code. It also serves me because I can use the audio recordings for those students who you can't get in front of anyone to read
