    Thank you so much for this video. We finally found something that is better than notability. No shade on notability for I have used it for years, however noteful's hashtaging feature allowing you to better organize notebooks is too good to pass up. I also like the simplicity for exporting PDF's of notes. My notes show up correctly in the pdf and it looks great. I will be testing both this week to see which I prefer.

    Success at last. By experimenting, (to create a moving marker with the voice recording) I found that when voice recording whilst writing continuous words (cursive script) or any character or drawing (without lifting the pen or highlighter) a greyed out version becomes inked in with the recording - curiously not on the first replaying, but on subsequent replays of the recording. Thus each time the pen or highlighter is lifted off the page, that corresponds to each inking in of the continuous section of writing that has been made - as you listen and watch the recording.

I tested a lot of things before buy it and considering this was like a standard feature (basic) in notability just select text, put the cursor in the line and just typing I thought this was the same in Noteful. Quite not happy with Noteful with the text box. I hope there is a way just put the cursor and typing the text. Thank you.

  • @Arthishow
    @Arthishow 2 роки тому +6

    I wouldn't compare it with notability, at least in my usage case : I use notability mainly for annotating a body of text, as in classical word processing apps (but easier and with more refined features) ; while (I believe) apps such as Goodnotes & Noteful don't allow a text body (not a text box) which stays put in the background and remains stable. Those apps seem more dedicated to either pure handwritten note taking, or PDF markup. While notability is way more suitable when it comes to docx style documents.

    Hi! Nice vid. Does that app annotate PDFs? Does it have presentation mode? Is it easy to add pages or does it let a document have endless pages as Notability does? BTW, once Noteful becomes popular (assuming it does) they will adapt a subscription model too. All companies need to have sustained funding in order to keep improving. The number of new users buying in can't keep growing indefinitely.

    I have GoodNotes, and I really love it, but I am not happy with they way they dealt with text. The text box was prone to move around because it is selected a bit too easily and I often make handwritten notes that need to be inline with the text. Also, I noticed that if I went to the pen tool and then back to the text tool, the text tool would be selected and when I started typing and then backspace to correct a typo, it would delete the whole text box. Undo wouldn't work in this case because, although it would bring back the text box, it would be missing the text I had just typed in.
    Also, it doesn't do audio and as I went back over my notes I wouldn't be able to remember exactly what was said. When I saw Notability, I was really impressed by the way it kept your notes synced with the audio, but I was really put off by the subscription model. I really hate that. Even though it's not a huge amount of money, I balked at being a slave to a subscription if I wanted to keep my notes.
    I looked around, but if I'm being honest, no other app that I found was able to sync the notes as nicely as Notability.
    Noteful is the only one that I found that came close. It syncs the handwritten notes nicely and contrary to what you stated, you CAN in fact skip to the point of the lecture by tapping on the notes in question.
    However, it doesn't keep the typed notes synced. SAD. I found that I could do a work-around by jotting down a quick handwritten note next to a block of text. Even a quick number works. It's not as good as keeping each word, but it's nice to be able to skip to a certain point.
    I'm not in love with it's ability to handle shapes, but for the most part I'm impressed by it's layering system which GoodNotes does not have. So the layering system and audio sold me on Noteful.
    I also looked at ZoomNotes, but like you said, it's way too complicated and unwieldy. I haven't completely given up on them, but for now, I'm satisfied with Noteful.

    • @PaperlessX
      @PaperlessX  Рік тому

    I finally bought Noteful (couldn't argue at that price although I am sceptical, with good reason, about 'lifetime' licences) since Notability still doesn't do folders and I am intrigued by the idea of layered notes. I'm also wondering if it can be a simpler Liquidtext for pdf markup. I'll soon be starting my language classes again after the summer break so I shall go full on with Noteful and see how it goes.

    As always I love your videos. Thank you! I got notability thanks to you - that was a few years ago. Do you have a series of how-to videos for noteful that teach how to use the elements and what you would use then for? E.g. this is how to create a thread of documents and you would do this to link together different topics that relate to the main one, for example etc etc.
    I have a disabled daughter and I’d love to teach her how to be organised in her studies but it’d be good to teach her what she can do and why that applies. Thanks again so much. I am hoping that you have the guides I need or are going to do them!! ❤️

    I am searching desperately for a Notability replacement because the app has become impossible to use for me. It crashes all the time for diverse reasons and the devs have been unable to help. I have been reporting stability bugs through the years and they have still not been corrected. I have been a Notability user for 8 years using it in several devices.
    The main things I look for in a replacement app are:
    - Voice recording synchronized with the written text (I almost always use text input with the iPhone keyboard)
    - Picture import: I take a lot of pics in seminars and conferences from powerpoint slides projected while at the same time writing lots of notes.
    - Stability: I want to be able to record long sessions within the same note with pics and text input in the iPhone without the app crashing. A single note with 8 hours recording is not unusual if you are taking a course.
    - Apps for iPhone, iPad and macOS with the notes synchronized between devices using iCloud.
    I appreciate your help with this.

    Deal breaker for me between noteful, Notability, and goodnotes was:
    1. Goodnotes took up lot of space. My ipad has less space.
    2. Goodnote has OCR search. But noteful has the best Tagging feature... For me Tagging>OCR
    3. Noteful is one time payment while Notability is subscription based.
    4. Layers facility in Noteful is ground breaking which none other note taking app offer.
    *How I use Microsoft Onenote and Noteful in ipad for note taking*
    I am a traditional windows user. I recently became a iPad user. And i am the only one in my whole family with an ipad.
    Being a student outside the USA my budget does not allow me to buy subscription for cloud storage. Especially now with the dollar getting stronger day by day.
    To juggle in between both platforms(Apple and Microsoft) I have used this trick:
    1. Used One note as primary note storage platform. 5GB free is storage. You can add more 5GB free by creating a new Microsoft ID. For those who don't know One note is supported both in ipad and windos pc. But *neither Goodnotes, noteful nor Notability support windows*
    2. Once i complete taking my notes in noteful. I keep a copy of note in pdf format in one note. In case my ipad becomes damaged i can read the notes from windows pc. I have only one ipad in my entire family. But 5 windows pc among family and friends if need arises. Also I think tagging feature in noteful is better than the (non-ocr)search of one note.
    3. I read my notes from noteful itself. Use tagging and layers for active recall.

    • @PaperlessX

    boy am I a pain!..... sorry, but b/ of you I'm taking a deep dive into Noteful and two things- is there a desktop (mac) version? I routinely use both the desktop and ipad versions of Notability to start a note then follow through on the ipad as I go about my day. As well, the SEARCH function!- If I have several pages of notes in Noteful (handwritten or Typed), the search feature does not find the terms I look for. This could be a deal breaker.

I can’t group objects and there is no way to save favorite tools like pens and etc. I also can’t send a document or let’s say a pic from an outside app to Noteful like I do in notability unless I am in the app and then import the pic or file to Noteful. And finally it doesn’t convert hand writing to text. I love the fact the Noteful is not a subscription app. For that reason I purchased their app. Even if I don’t use them a lot I still want to support them.

    Hi, Paperless X:
    Does Noteful allow same files names under different subjects/dividers? One thing bugs me a lot about Notability is that it doesn't allow same names for different files in different subjects. For example, I have two subjects - math and physics. For each subject, I took lectures throughout the term, and will label them as Lecture 1, lecture 2, etc. But I can not use the same name Lecture 1, Lecture 2, etc. for both math and physics courses, and have to rename them. Otherwise Notability complains. How do you deal with this problem? I understand Notability wants to track each file independently, but I don't like it. What else should I name it besides Lecture 1,2, ...?
