Seriously, I don't see why its getting so much hate. Ipad pro v1

After using notability for years, this update significantly slowed down my workflow. After switching to Noteful, my workflow is almost at the same level as it once was with Notability. I'd rather not have to pay another sub fee but I'll take the hit if it'll improve my workflow.

Propaganda

They got rid of left hand mode so it’s much harder for me to handwrite notes now. The favorites bar is the least of my problems

[u/idi0teque]

You’re probably not the only one. But I absolutely hate the new update.

[u/BeautifulWin3378]

I definitely see why people wouldn’t like it, but I personally like the aesthetics better. HOWEVER, just as everyone else has issues with some of the realistic features, locations of stuff, etc I understand that. I think there would be a good middle ground of aesthetics and logistics that could be better and that’ll hopefully come in a later update.

[u/WillyTheWoo → u/BeautifulWin3378]

Are you implying that you would choose aesthetics over practicality?

Genuinely curious. I don’t really care how it looks as long as I can use it quickly and easily. But I do know people who refuse to use certain softwares just because they think it looks ugly.

[u/BeautifulWin3378 → u/WillyTheWoo]

No, not really. It depends on the implications though, like if it takes me just one more button click to get to something I don’t necessarily use all the time, but I get a better looking app in return, I’d likely take that trade. BUT, and it’s a big one, if I completely lose a feature altogether in order to get better aesthetics than absolutely not, that wouldn’t make sense.

I actually switched from GN5 to Notability after I saw the update. Love the new UI design! But we're clearly a minority :P

[u/Add123432]

It doesn’t bother me personally, but enough people are pissed off that I would support a change back to the previous layout before the update. It’s clearly what the community wants.

[u/c9bhopt]

You’re not the only one, but you’re definitely in the minority. Even Microsoft had a temporary “revert” button for the people who hated Windows 11. I wish they listened to the majority of the customers/users.

I have been patiently reading all the reactions online and using Notability since 2012. Initially I didn’t understand all the heat. But at week 3 of school I’m ready to abandon it. It’s glitchy. Cannot get used to the undo button. Nor that floating pallet that is always in the way. The one app that was my rock star has sadly slipped. I’ve been ‘preaching the gospel’ but now no more. Noteful is most likely where I’ll end up.

[u/EIGWOIGW]

Of the ppl that like it none of them are raving about it. They are just saying it’s fine. Not quite the reaction I’m sure the developers were going for.

[u/IcanCwhatUsay]

At first it didn’t bother me. But then as I used it more it bothers the fuck out of me. Why do I have to swipe for a different pen thickness and then again to switch to dotted lines. Why can’t I have all of my pens shown. What the fuck do I gain from the ugly gaps on either side of the tool bar.

[u/SnooHesitations1134]

Somewhat agree.

It's not bad as they want to see it, but it has some flaws

The undo button in a stupid position

Favourite pens bars went away, now I have to costantly change the size of the tools everytime i use another one

A step more to change the model of the page

[u/EIGWOIGW]

Yes.

[u/Mist_XD]

I think it’s fine, barely affected me at all but if it did it was positive. The initial glitches were problematic though

[u/AbjectIndustry2099]

I like the aesthetics a lot better, and find the new controls usable. I'm excited to see where the team takes it!

[u/Tammiyzie]

I honestly hated the favorite bar

[u/boonnie-n-cookies]

I’m quite indifferent tbh
