PleaseI really hope the Notability team takes this seriously: please improve the Apple Pencil writing experience.

The app keeps adding new features, AI tools, and other updates, but the core experience of actually taking handwritten notes still feels limited. Notability is, first of all, a note-taking app. If the pencil experience does not feel good, then the main purpose of the app is being affected.

One of the biggest issues is the handwriting feel. The pen strokes often look too sharp or pointy at the edges, instead of smooth, rounded, and natural. It would be great to have better stroke smoothing or pressure/sensitivity options so handwriting feels more fluid and less rigid.

Also, please bring back or add more pen size options. The difference between size 2 and size 3 is way too big. There should be intermediate sizes, because many users need more precision when writing notes, especially students who write a lot on PDFs, slides, and notebooks.

This is not a small detail. Many people have been asking for this for a long time, and it often feels like the response is “we’re working on it,” but nothing really changes. Please prioritize the actual writing experience again.

Notability has so much potential, but it is frustrating when a note-taking app has limitations that make taking notes uncomfortable. AI and extra features are nice, but the basic handwriting experience should come first.

I was thinking and I think it would be nice to have an option to set the laserpoint time to 1 second, because sometimes when re reading notes we just want to use a guide that does not get in the way too much, and since the mínimum time rn is 2 seconds that’d be cool :D

I tried it on my Samsung tab, and I really look forward for it to be on my iPad too, since I use it a lot more.
