Since an eraser has no colour options, it’s easier to access your different sizes and types of erasers on the new toolbar. It also has twelve fixed sizes and can selectively erase only the highlighter. The eraser tool erases per stroke and pixel. So, we love that the developers have made that differentiation. Definitely, the colours you use for your pen are not the ones you’d typically use for a highlighter. We love that your pen, pencil, and highlighter tools all have different colour palettes.
It has the same options as those for your pen tool. So, it does not dim your notes when layered. The highlighter in Notability goes behind your ink. Eight colours are probably enough for most note-taking needs. Notability 14 has made it easier to access custom colours on the toolbar. The app still has a lot of default colours, and you can add custom ones using the Hex code, slider, or colour picker. Using a lot of pen thicknesses is difficult now in Notability because you have to keep adjusting the three on the toolbar. But the toolbar can now only accommodate a maximum of three at a time. Pencil tools are the best! Both tools have a decent range of fixed pen thicknesses that simply work. We now also have a pencil tool in the app. The dashed and dotted pens are not great for handwritten notes, but they are cool for drawing diagrams, maybe. Notability has two types of pen tools: ballpoint and fountain pens. Overall, while the user interface looks great, it has ruined the user experience in the app. The floating toolbar creates the illusion that your notebook is an infinite canvas. Now we have to scroll to access some tools and even our notebook title when we want to rename our notebooks. But somehow, the developers managed to make it even more minimalist with a shorter, floating toolbar that you can put on any side of the screen you like. The user interface in Notability has always been clean, minimalist, and modern. The options at the bottom of your screen also allow you to import PDFs and add scans to your new notebook. For example, if you create a squared notebook, you can quickly switch to the dotted one without having to go back to the homepage.
When using the app’s basic templates, you can quickly change the page template for a new notebook if you don’t like the one you’re using. So, to use our digital notebooks, we have to import them into the app as PDFs. Unfortunately, that is still limited to one page per template. If you’re still not happy with all those, you can simply add your own templates to the app’s library. The gallery, which is now more accessible than before, has more templates shared by other Notability users from around the world. You can also choose to use landscape or portrait page templates. The basic templates in the app even have line-spacing options, which is rare to find in a note-taking app. The app still has many page templates with plenty of colour and size options, though. Creating new notebooks in Notability has become a little confusing. Since the Notability 14 update, a lot has changed in the app. This review focuses on the subscription version of the app for the iPad.
