Apple Pencil Squeeze to Eraser - Request for Persistent Toggle

Currently, when using the Apple Pencil squeeze gesture to erase, we have to keep squeezing the Pencil. As soon as we release the squeeze, it switches back to the Pen tool.

This becomes inconvenient when we need to erase a large area.

In Goodnotes, the squeeze gesture works more like a toggle: a single squeeze activates the Eraser, and it stays active without having to keep squeezing. Once you're done erasing, you can simply squeeze again to switch back to the Pen. I find this much more convenient, especially as a teacher.

I know we can achieve something similar in NB using double-tap to switch to Eraser, but double-tap doesn't feel as convenient or natural as the squeeze gesture.

If this functionality is already possible using the Apple Pencil squeeze settings, please let me know how to enable it. If not, I’d really appreciate it if the developers could consider adding this option.

It would make a big difference for workflows where we frequently need to erase larger areas.

Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) Update

Hi everyone,

The issues from this morning are mitigated but we will continue to monitor. While our systems were not compromised, we recommend changing your password if you got an email telling you your account had been locked due to frequent access attempts.

You can follow the Notability status page to get updates: https://status.notability.com

Thank you for your patience!

Notability is experiencing a denial of service attack

Hi everyone,

Notability.com is currently under a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack: attackers are flooding our servers with automated traffic to try to knock them offline. We've temporarily turned off sign-in while we deal with it.

Your data is safe. This kind of attack overloads servers with traffic and it doesn't touch accounts or notes. No data was accessed or leaked.

If you received an email from us that you didn't request, like a password reset or verification code, you can ignore it. The attackers appear to be using email lists that were already circulating publicly. Those lists didn't come from us, and getting one of these emails doesn't mean your account was accessed.

We'll post updates here as we make progress. Thanks for your patience.

Trouble Loggin In

Anyone else facing this issue logging in by signing in with Apple ID? This is so frustrating. I tried searching for solutions, but it seems like it hasn’t been addressed. Can’t even send a ticket right now, tho it’s useless because it’s always answered by their bot. My iPad is already updated as well as the app, also I tried restarting it a bunch of times but to no avail.

Is this Legit or a Hack?

This is the tenth time I’ve gotten this EXACT email
today, is this legit? I’m traveling and don’t have access to my iPad right now, so I can’t login and change my password. Does someone really want to steal my biology notes that badly 😭

Important note.. gone with no warning.

Same exact thing happened to me as this archived post. Ive contacted support but it sounds like its a lost cause. Even with backing up notes consistently, anyone who has done any board prep for medicine knows you can put significant hrs into a doc before you back it up.. plus backing up notes constantly takes time /space.

I enjoy notability but I cant wrap my head around how we have advanced technology like AI and still cant fix a bugs like these. I will no longer be recommending notability as a study /notes tool to my colleagues.

AI Feature Question

Hi!! I am deciding whether or not to use Notability or GoodNotes, and I'm looking into Notability's Plus subscription. For this one, I was intrigued by the AI quiz/flashcard feature. I noticed that it says there are up to 400 AI-powered quizzes and flashcards every month.

Does anyone have an issue running out of quizzes/flashcards each month? I can't really gauge how this works. Does this 400 number count each question/each flashcard or each quiz and each flashcard deck?

I'd also love to know if I should go with Notability plus, or Goodnotes Essential plan as an incoming university student. Making flashcards/quizzes/summaries is pretty important to me within the app, so I'm wondering which app has more of those features in the price points I mentioned. Thank you so much!! I've also just mainly seen polarizing opinions on GoodNotes vs. Notability, so I'm torn on which to pick.

New bug after Regret button where screen gets stuck and it's driving me insane

If I mark an object, move it, do something new like write, then "regret" (equivalent to ctrl+Z) this action - As soon as I erase the first action after the mark action, it will show the blue outline of the marked object while the screen is stuck.

That is, I can't tap the screen elsewhere to escape this, can't scroll. It's just not a natural way of doing the notetaking, and it disrupts my flow. My neurodivergency can't take this ahahaha

Also, saw a post a month back regarding the heating issue. Also experiencing this currently

Pb d'interligne

Bonjour, je teste Notability depuis 2 jours et un gros problème d'interligne gâche mon expérience et me freine dans la souscription à l'abonnement PLUS.

J'ai mis côte à côte Notability et Goodnotes (qui pourtant est une appli très approximative sur Android) pour bien illustrer mon propos : l'interligne Notability (pourtant au plus petit : 1.0) est beaucoup trop large !

Je vais aussi poster en commentaire une capture de Samsung Notes.

Sur les vidéos YouTube, j'ai vu qu'il n'y a pas ce problème avec la version iOS donc je suppose que c'est un bug d'adaptation. J'espère qu'il sera vite résolu car c'est bientôt la rentrée en France et j'aurais aimé être prête.

Merci de votre écoute.
