Ratings and reviews

I purchased the app before it moved to subscriptions and recently reinstalled it. “Restore Purchase” does nothing. I checked the FAQ and followed its advice to reinstall, with no change. I then followed the support instructions and logged in before opening the form, but it would not let me enter my email while requiring one to submit. This feels less like a technical issue and more like a series of roadblocks that make it unnecessarily difficult for existing customers to restore purchases.

This is an extraordinary app. Certainly one of the best on my Galaxy Note. However, it's still not my go-to note taking app because it lacks a dark mode, which is very disappointing. If it had a dark mode, I'd delete other note taking apps and up to 5 stars. Please, Nebo, have mercy on those who prefer to write in dark rooms! Nothing more embarrassing than lighting up a chill bar with a bright phone screen.

Normally, when I want to give an app a 4.5 rating, I tend to give it a 4. But not in this case. I love this app. It is my goto app for note-taking, after using a number of others that never quite fit the bill. Why do I love it? - Note-taking: I don't have the best penmanship in the world. Sometimes I even have trouble reading my own handwriting. Yet Nebo understands it almost every time. In fact, sometimes, when I review my notes, I look at the Nebo transcription to make sure I understand my handwriting correctly. - Mix of text and diagrams. Nebo provides two types of basic pages: normal and free-form. In normal mode, it interprets what you write and can export it to DOCX or PDF format. In freeform, it's like a giant drawing. No interpretation of text. However, in normal mode, you can draw a line across the screen and it inserts a freeform section, allowing you to include drawings in your page. - PDF importing, to annotate using your stylus. - Simple gestures to manipulate text. - Export to an editable (DOCX) format. Why 4.5 instead of a straight 5, then? There are a few things that could be improved. They are not showstoppers for me yet. - Better highlighting in PDFs: I would like to be able to draw clean lines instead of shaky ones. But Nebo doesn't interact directly with the PDF, I think, it overlays your annotations. - Clickable PDF links (same reason). - Better navigation on larger pages. - The ability to change languages after-the-fact. When you create a notebook, you are asked to select a language. If you choose the wrong one or if you want to change the language later, you can't. Not a show stopper, but quite irritating when that happens. If you have a tablet with a stylus, get this, you won't regret it. Yes, it's more expensive than your average Play Store app, but it is well worth it.
