Nebo: Endless Notes & Notebook for Positive User Reviews

✓ Unbeatable handwritting recognition! (and some suggestions that could make the app even better)I prefer to take my notes by hand, but wanted the ability to convert them to text afterwards so that they would be easier to read. From a bit of experimentation, I found that the most popular note taking apps' handwritting recognition still wasn't accurate enough to decipher my messy handwritting. Then I found Nebo - the best OCR app I've ever used. It's exactly what I was looking for! I've already reccomeneded it to my fellow students for taking notes. I have no complaints, but I do have a few friendly suggestions for new features. It would be very helpful if we could open two different pages at once or be able to switch between pages as if they were tabs. If bullet points and indentations were kept when we paste text from Nebo into another app, it would boost productivity by eliminating the need to add them back in (though this could be an issue with the app the text is being pasted into). It would also be cool if we could change the font of convverted text. Thanks so much Nebo Team/MyScript! I'm very happy with my purchace of the full version. Keep up the great work!!.ChiaPuppyVersion: 4.1.10

✓ Great for students (even with bad hand writing)I have dyslexia and as a result I’ve always struggled with writing legibility. Because of this I’ve always preferred to type my notes instead of write them. Now that I am getting into my 3rd year of uni I’ve revised that typing my notes just isn’t practical ( due to math classes and chemistry classes not leading them selfs to kindly to just a keyboard.) I first tried to use notability but transferring from typing to drawing was awkward and didn’t work all that well. Then I found this app and it’s completely changed how I take notes. I’m able to just write my notes and this app converts them to text with at least 99% accuracy. This is even more impressive considering that I can't even read my hand wring half the time. When it does get things wrong it’s really easy to fix. I can not recommend this app enough!.JakeahyattVersion: 2.4.2

✓ What’s happened?I love nebo, which is why you have five stars. But since the last update it’s got glitchy when I try to convert to text. And it seems hesitant when I’m writing, not showing up on the screen. And corrections are slow. Everything’s glitchy! It’s very frustrating. Please sort it out. I never understand why developers have to mess with something that was perfect. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it! Update. I’ve noticed it’s worse when my iPads battery is low. Don’t know if that’s helpful for you. Thanks for responding. 😊.Jules fastbladeVersion: 2.6.1

✓ Great idea and good app, but requires some new features.The handwriting recognition works really well. Overall I find this app to be more useful compared to other well known alternatives, especially for people that use a lot of math in their notes. I only have 2 BIG problems with the app, both should be relatively easy to fix. One is that unlike text recognition, there is no preview for math recognition. It is very frustrating to first convert the math and then click undo and change some bits and convert again and repeat the same process multiple times. A preview like text would be much much easier. Secondly, I would like to be able to add some math in-text. That could again be easily added if you could allow one to specify math parts and not convert them. For example similar to highlighting, one could draw around math (or equations) so that the converter does not confuse those parts. These changes would definitely make Myscript my go-to app for note taking and research..MulravenVersion: 2.1.0

✓ Excellent, but...Here is my review (wich I have wrote on the app and the converted, So you will see for yourself how good or bad the feature is) I have been using Notability for more than 2 years now on a daily basis. I refuse to update to the latest version for many reasons, so I'm looking for an alternative. Actually, I often by use the original Calculator from MyScript since 2014, and it's awesome, I was looking on the AppStore to upgrade to the second edition when I discovered you had a note taking app! Wonder full, I knew that it would be great! Pros: • Handwriting convention is flawless • Math convention is surprisingly good, and you can edit with the pren directly on the converted writings is awesome. It is nice to see that you've integrated you're calculator in it. • The tutorials built-in helped me to learn features and better understand me carics off the app. • Selection with lasso is snappy, on point with the contextual menu appearing instantly, saves a bunch of time. • I like the flow of the per with the response of the "ink" . smooth. • I like that you keep the last color used when you switch between the high lighter and the per. • You can highlight text when you circle around with the pen. very clever! • The eraser gets bigger when you erase faster, very useful. • Switching between notes is FAST, loading the file is very snappy even the I don't have the latest hardware. • Searching through différents pages is useful • SHORTCUTS ARE AMAZING!!! I think of the line to create a free space Zone, Skip line, remove text, move text, highlight, etc. I think iPadOS de feretly need more of those, it increases a lot my productivity, and it is for more practical and fast then having to press a button, wait for the animation, press another button, etc... • Palm rejection is good, never had problems yet. • The way the app threat my handwriting like text, it's like it I am using a software like Microsoft Word, really good! • Nice way of orginazing notes in different folders. Cons: • You definetly need to add a way to draw straight lines, arrows, rectangles, el ipse, circles, caries. It is one of the thing I don't think I can live without, and I am surprised that you don't already have something that would recognize a line to make it straight, because you have the best handwriting convention I have ever seen. • When you have a selection, it would be great to have an option to duplicate, rather than having to copy and paste, since it takes a long time to paste. • Speaking of copy and pass ting, you could really improve on the Convenience of the mecanic. For example, when you tap an empty part of the page with the lasso, the past button could appear. • Would be nice, at least in free mode, to enable the pressure sensitivity of the per. • The UNDO function is SLOW. Well, just enough slow to make me Wait for my last mistake to disappear, feels bad. • Having a way to groups or link a selection, at least in Free mode, and save them as stikers or symbols to reuse later, or in an other document would be nice. • I haven't been able to find a way of cropping an image. • I would like to change the paper color, or the grid size. • Is there a way of changing the language after I wrote in a page? Overall, this app is impressive. BUT, you got to keep in mind that is really made for text. As on engineering student, I have to a lot of text, graphs, arrows, sketches, electrical schematics, maths, drawings, annotations, etc. Yes this app can make most of it, but not at the same time, in a productive way. Imagine this app as if it was a mix between Word and OneNote, but with a per. It is not a scratch pad..Anthony AudetVersion: 3.3.7

✓ Love it! Would like to see a couple more optionsNebo has been a lifesaver for taking class notes, and it's been a real champ for recognizing even MY handwriting. There are just a few more features I'd like to see implemented in the future: • More ways to differentiate text: An option to make text italic would be fantastic. Maybe additional fonts, like a serif vs. sans-serif? The ability to underline text would be helpful, too. • More list options: Nebo will turn just about anything into a bullet for lists, which I love. However, for numbered lists, it only recognizes numbers and single letters. I’d really like to be able to use Roman numerals (both capital and lowercase). • More headers: With the way I arrange my notes, a Header 3 (smaller than Header 2 but still larger than regular text) would be very helpful. • A way to adjust space between paragraphs/lines: When parts of my notes get long, I separate them into paragraphs to make them easier to read, but this can create problems for trying to differentiate sections of notes. I’ve started writing "blank" (in white) on the first or last line of a paragraph to add some space, but it’s not ideal. An ability to adjust line spacing within paragraphs (say, to 1.5 lines after line breaks) and increase spacing between paragraphs would be great for this. These are the only things that come to mind as far as improvements go. I look forward to seeing what you’ll do in the future!.ßbeveVersion: 3.2.3

✓ With MacOs integration would be perfectI usually use my iPad to take notes, but I need to be able to easily see and change them on my Mac, as it happens with Notes. Besides this missing feature, the app is amazing!!! A lot of cool functionalities that allows to take notes and format the text at the same time. Impressed with the conversion from handwriting text accuracy!! As a nice to have, I believe that the layout could be improved. It would also be perfect to see the notes in list format and be able to take screenshots directly from the app..AdddaaaaVersion: 2.6.1

✓ Loving itI have been using Nebo for some time and I love it. It is my go to app for note taking. I learn best when handwriting my notes but I also loose things so I get the best of both with this app. I would recommend it to all. A big thank you to the developers of this amazing app!.Bhavi&BadiVersion: 2.2.3

✓ Everything is great! BUT...Everything it can do it does it excellently! But there’s some other IMPORTANT and convenient features missing: 1. Where is the typing feature? Why not just add it? (For example, put it in the Add menu with things like Sketch and Math) I know handwriting recognition is amazing, and we can export to Word and then do the typing, but please can we also type? It will just be much easier. 2. Option to export to PDF with original handwritings 3. Ability to convert words back to handwritings Otherwise, well done!!!!! I love the wonderful real-time hand writing recognition and quick conversion! It even works when I mix languages together (e.g. Chinese and English), but it seems like Apple’s own recognition for Chinese in Note is a bit better than this? Maybe corporation with Apple? 5 stars for Maths functions and automatic calculations! Best in the business? It will be crazy if more complicated calculations can be carried out (e.g. integration) and results can be displayed in the same way as the result on a Casio calculator. Keep improving and thanks for an convenient App!!! Apple Pencil to the next level! Looking forward to the next update with new features..Jaylce LiVersion: 1.9.4

✓ Amazing Application With One Small CriticismNebo has been an amazing application that helped me organise my notes through all my devices and has helped me a lot in pharmacy school and now as a pharmacist. It has powerful pdf tools and amazing note-taking tools to help you annotate research papers. One small criticism is that the pdfs in your notebook cannot be organised by name and it seems to only be arranged by date with the newest ones at the bottom which in my opinion is a bit counterintuitive as it should be at the top. I would suggest adding an ‘arrange by … ‘ button and then it will be flawless. The app is a 4.5/5 in my book, highly recommended!.Gogomeister99Version: 5.8.6

✓ Great App OverallI bought the full pack and have been really happy with using Nebo. It has been very useful for my classes and makes note taking easier for me. One suggestion though, is I wish that it would allow me to flip or switch through the pages easier from within a page from a notebook, kinda like flipping through a real, physical notebook; I may have put something on another page and want to quickly take a look at it then come back quickly to the page I’m working on..I have a good suggestionVersion: 3.4.0

✓ Need quick switch between pen and select toolNeed to add more QOL fuctions.QuybonmatVersion: 5.9.2

✓ You fixed all my previous gripes!This app has made steady improvement. It is no longer handwriting-only as you can choose to use the screen keyboard or, presumably, an external keyboard. You can also import text from external sources which you couldn’t previously. This is handy for copying URLs or whatever other text you want. You can import images and have them in the same document as everything else. New features such as the ability to import pptx, docx, PDFs, etc as PDFs is handy for jotting notes on someone’s powerpoint or PDF or whatever. I said in a previous review that this app was one-dimensional because handwriting recognition was all it did well. But handwriting is only a single part of what people need in a broad notes app. Indeed, as of version 2.x, it was one dimensional. But this version, 3.x is significantly improved. Nebo now looks like a pretty formidable multimedia note-taking app. Upgrading my rating to 4 stars as all my previous complaints are now fixed. I’ll give 5 stars for an improved and more intuitive UI. Good job so far..PetroleroVersion: 3.3.1

✓ La meilleure appli pour Ipad proŒuvrant dans le domaine du UX design, cette appli est la meilleure lorsque vient le temps de laisser aller ma créativité sur une page. L'interaction avec le crayon est de loin la plus réelle, ayant essayé les autres applications dominantes du marché. J'utilise NEBO depuis 2 ans et l'équipe ne cesse d'intégrer des fonctionnalités qui sont réellement utiles. Je recommande à tous ceux qui souhaitent passer au mode de vie “paperless”. J'utilise NEBO non seulement pour le UX design, mais aussi pour les études et pour mes projets personnels et l'élaboration de plans et d'idées diverses. Thumbs up!.SamaudetteVersion: 4.1.8

✓ Things I'd changeIts a great app. And recognises handwriting better than other apps. But I'd also like to see the Nebo text detection be used as a NATIVE KEYBOARD for all iPad apps. I'd also like to have a 'dark mode' notepad - white per on Black/dark colour page. Or better yet, choose your own background colour. It would also be great to have the web. note app able to be opened UNDERNEATH another app in vertical mode even in 'floating' window. Have a multi bullet point function..MattDesignVersion: 2.4.0

✓ Great, but some issuesHi I love this app so much I bought the full version. However, I only rated 3 stars, because I have a couple comments on how to improve the app. I would appreciate it if I could change the view from white screen to black screen / white text, just like the rest of my apps will if I turn on the dark mode. I like to write at night, and don’t like the blinding white light glaring at me before bed. Also it would be FANTASTIC if you would allow the read text aloud feature. Right now, I’m having to copy and paste everything into a separate app that will read text aloud for me, it’s really time consuming and frustrating. Thanks! Ok, so awesome that it does dark mode now. However, I really hate the clear all button being next to the convert all button. Why is there a clear all button in the first place? Could you hide it or at least give the option to hide it? I almost deleted my work on accident. Thankfully, it does have that pop up screen, to remind you of what you might do, but please just get rid of the button!!!.Person duhhhhhhVersion: 4.1.10

✓ Great App: Some extra features would be appreciatedThe app is really smooth and I’ve had no stability issues with it so far. Palm block is excellent and the different writing tools are great. The automatic underline is awesome and a feature that I didn’t know I needed. Though, I would love the option to export the documents to a PDF and keep the page lines for future editing. Currently, it will export notes without the page lines with makes revision harder for me..P0T4T0_AIMVersion: 3.3.1

✓ Nebo ‘early days’Love the functionality and ease of being able to write notes, make diagrams and simple conversation to type. A frustration is taking other documents and putting them into nebo to mark up or make additional notes. Copy and paste can be frustrating. A good example is using nebo to make notes on a PowerPoint handout. To date I’ve only been able to do this by taking a photo of each handout page and inserting into nebo. This is time consuming and a pain if you mix up the order. It would be handy if a pdf file could be dragged and dropped into nebo and the document pages end up inserted in the correct order. Other than this aspect love the app..Tony Taylor ts1Version: 2.6.0

✓ Best into to text notebook around!Took one star off because they don't have an Intel Mac version..Review_timeVersion: 4.0.15

✓ The Best text converterWhen writing reviews with a star rating, in my opinion, you should rate it for what it says ‘on the tin’ and add what you would like to see on future upgrades. So Nebo does precisely what it says it will deliver. No other app that I’ve come across will convert you hand writing to text as efficiently as Nebo. Adding calculations, diagrams add to the experience. No it is not as flexible as other note taking apps, I use another for daily notes but for writing letters, reports, long emails, meeting notes, Nebo wins every time..RylstoneVersion: 2.1.1

✓ Needs a dark modeThe bright white screen isn’t always ideal when writing alot. Either adding a manual dark mode toggle or having it automatically change when your device is on dark mode would be great..Kbari____Version: 3.0.1

✓ Love it buts missing some essential things.Firstly the app is great, just missing two key features. I would love it if the page was resizeable when writing in order to look at everything at once. Secondly I would love it if a flash card system was also added under each notebook like good notes, as well as audio recordings whilst writing. I come from GoodNotes 5 but switched to Nebo for the amazing UI. If these features were to be added it would just be amazing. Please consider these..AzlnM7Version: 4.0.13

✓ ExcellentThere is nothing better that I have tried for character recognition or hand writing to text. It’s not only excellent for note taking in business meetings but also practical as I can easily store, find and edit or circulate meeting notes via email. I have tried this on Mac and PC laptops and both work amazingly well. I sometimes can’t read my own handwriting but Nebo seems to manage it. The amount of time required to learn all the features is worth the time…. Recommend it..MrpaulyVersion: 5.8.7

✓ Great for note taking in meetingsNEBO has become my default goto for note taking in meetings at work, where I output files as both a PDF image (so I have a visual record of my chicken scratches) and as a text or MS Word document for editing and sharing minutes, and it Integrates well to my google drive. Previously I had to choose typing during the meeting, which was not always possible, or transcribe my hand written notes, which was time consuming. NEBO offers me the best of both worlds. Recommended!.IsThisProgress?Version: 4.0.3

✓ Perfect for me!I don’t write reviews often, but I feel compelled to say positive things about this app. I recently bought an iPad Pro and Pencil. I tried using some of my previous note-taking apps, but found them lacking when it came to recognising and converting my handwriting using the Pencil. Nebo has been the total opposite! I can write with ease and, so far, it’s been accurate and this leaves me to concentrate on writing, not correcting. But there are plenty of other features which I love. I loved it so much that I gifted it to a friend. Well, that’s enough gushing and probably another 2 years before I write another review..MrppwVersion: 1.6.12

✓ Amazing hand writing recognitionI use this more than any other note taking app.Canadian BrandVersion: 4.0.6

✓ Best Handwriting RecognitionI have used countless note taking apps... good notes, notability, liquid text. Most have them have become bloated and do not convert handwriting to text as quickly, correctly and on the go like this app. Also keeps/converts the formatting correctly, meaning lists actually stay as lists and switching in pen color switches covered text to that color too. Amazing and saves so much time!! The writing using Apple Pencil is great. Slight lag few milliseconds but by then it has your written text and preview of typed text visible and I feel but still feels like writing on paper minus the friction of writing instrument on paper that we all are starting to realize we crave. Using it as journal with converted text on top with my written part on the bottom. Also excited that will allow me to draw diagrams and sketches! Will likely become my favorite note taking app. Is already top 2 out of the 15 or so I have tried..Swoops49Version: 2.4.0

✓ Great app - almost perfect but ...This app is incredibly responsive, lovely to work with, the text conversion is super accurate, indexing/search works really well ... so many great features and superb UX - just REALLY disappointed I can’t copy and paste basic text from clipboard (aka other apps). This can be done by several other competitors products - and I would have thought standard functionality. This is something I have been doing with Apple’s native Notes app for several years, including storing hyperlinks and other basic formats in my notes, so it seems a real step backwards to lose this ability. Would otherwise easily give this app 5 stars and stop using everything else - but it loses a star and I may not continue using it for this reason alone..JshsgsuehdvdVersion: 2.0.4

✓ Good - but looking forward to what it becomes (hopefully)Downloaded and paid for the full version. Misunderstood what I was getting with the paid version - I thought there would be templates etc, and more sync options - and have been a little disappointed with that aspect. However, so far it looks good and has great handwriting to text - pretty accurate, even with my challenging handwriting…. App will be even better when: - it becomes possible to create and import templates. At the moment the options are very limited and a little bland (which I appreciate are mainly just aesthetics), but even leaving aside making paper options ‘prettier’, it would be great if you could create your own templates and do things like adding logos for a personalise file note / letter etc, creating forms etc. There are some limited workarounds for this, but they’re very limited - more options to sync - particularly with Microsoft onedrive. Nebo has the potential to move me away from OneNote as my ‘go to’ in the longer term, but the inability to sync with onedrive is a limitation at the moment. - it becomes possible to import pictures etc - there are more pencil / brush / fountain pen etc options - it becomes possible to change the text font, size etc (when using ink-to-text..Improve iPad UsabilityVersion: 3.3.6

✓ Does perfectly what it saysClean simple app and it just perfectly does the thing's what it says it can do. I am a bit upset that you have to buy separate versions for different platforms but i guess that's to do with how various OS works with these kind of apps. Handwriting recognition is way ahead compared to other apps and it knows exactly what you intend to do. The user interface is easy to navigate and colour and pen selection is good. I use Nebo and OneNote together for a best of both worlds experience..Anee26Version: 4.0.6

✓ Love itLove how easy it makes being an author..ColumbiaQueenVersion: 2.0.6

✓ Handwriting fan meets digital era with minimal effortI have been a big handwriting fan all my life. I love and miss using fountain pens. I gave up paper to embrace digital but I have always missed it, enter Nebo the app that brought handwriting back into my life. The recognition is amazing (yes it misses a few but all good), the instant feedback is amazing and saves me falling back into bad habits of converting to text and then using the keyboard. The ability to copy hand-written text in mind maps and scribbles and then paste them as text is impressive. I wish I had known this two years ago when I bought the app. Being able to map out a process and copy paste it into PowerPoint to keep editing is excellent. My workflow has improved significantly. Took a little getting used to but once I got the hang of it there was not going back. One thing though - I wish it had dark mode!.Marckr32Version: 3.4.0

✓ Does the work, but not perfectI purchased this app in an excitement to go paperless on all my notes, finding that it does the job but not as perfect as it seems like. The common word are quite well recognized, but special characteristics and abbreviations are super hard to get right with hand writing. Could you please just ignore your existing dictionary when I write something perfectly but is not a common word? Would also be helpful if the “customized dictionary “ is a pre defined set of specific knowledge, instead of the words input one-by-one by users. For example, how could ever you input all the gene names by yourself? There’s one time that I had no idea what are the gene names I took note of when I converted it and there’s no way to retrieve it....Eileen17%Version: 2.8.2

✓ One of its KindThe app is really unique and one of its kind with a great potential to beat all the other App in its category Hands down if the developer puts in more effort into it. If you’re truly looking to transition from paper writing to digital notebooks, this is the App for you and here’s why; unlike the other apps in its class (FYI, I have quite a few of them) Nebo is the only one that can and does immediately converts your handwriting into actual text as you write without the need to finish writing, then select the written text before converting it into a typed text which I find quite time wasting especially if you’re trying to capture as much information as possible while writing. The developer has made some impressive improvements on the editing feature of imported pdf documents but there’s still a lot more work to be done to make it THE ONLY WRITING APP NOTEBOOK you’ll ever need. I have highlighted some of these to the developer in the past and i hope he or she listens because doing so will attract a lot more buyers and increase revenue for him or her..Amy4realVersion: 5.6.1

✓ Simple and brilliantI’m writing again, as in not typing! The ease of exporting from cursive script on the screen to type (into Pages or Word) was crucial to me, and that has been working great. And I love how simple and easy it is to use. I also like the erase function — scribble over the word you want erased — such that you don’t have to select a specific erase tool...which can interrupt the flow. Occasionally a letter I’ve written (or part of one) will randomly erase itself, and I haven’t figured that one out yet, but it’s minor and only happened a few times. Many thanks..AussenseiterVersion: 1.9.2

✓ Thank you, Genius!I’m a general dentist of 20 years who used to write details of procedure notes in patients’ paper charts. Now with everything being computerized, that option is gone...until “nebo.” I can write, erase mistakes, add space, remove words and extra space with one stroke. There’s an eraser option, but I don’t even need it. There’s different color ink. The best part is when I’m done with the final draft, I can copy and paste it into patients’ electronic charts, and everyone else can read it in neatly typed-up pages. This app was the reason I bought iPad 2018 and Apple Pencil. I wish the app can recognize the percent signs and numbers better. It will be nice to be able to add custom vocabularies because the app does not recognize certain words and will translate it into what maybe the closest it knows. That was the only reason I gave four stars out of five. For instance, 1 carpule of Lidocaine will get translated as i carpale or 1 But I found a way around it and wrote one carp.😃 You’re a genius and thank you for thinking of a very useful app to help those who miss writing by hands, who think and remember better by writing, not typing..SpringPuffVersion: 1.9.1

✓ Favourite notes app, 1 problemThis is my favourite app to make cute notes I can focus on, works excellent with my Apple Pencil, my only complaint is that it only offers 5 free documents/pages :( then you have to purchase..BrookeHarmanVersion: 5.5.1

✓ The best thing everI use this for everything from paperwork for my rental property, to note taking for my Law degree, this has made my life so.much.easier and im raving about it to all of my friends and family. Do yourself a favour and get this, it is worth the money!!!.DaniëłłëVersion: 3.0.3

✓ No highlighter in annotateI downloaded a lot of apps but a lot didn’t have the option to annotate. But finally I came across this app and it worked. I immediately started using it. To find that there was no highlighters pens. You should add that option in in your next update. It’s very good overall. But it’s mostly used for an apple pen. (I don’t have one.) so that is very inconvenient and very hard to use. It is better to program it to have non Apple Pencil to Apple Pencil button I would have given it a 5/5 if that two essential things were put in. Thanks..383UwUVersion: 3.0.2

✓ Great app!I’ve been using Notes Plus and love it for its superb interface and ease of use but it just does not recognise any of my handwriting. I put that down to my writing style rather than a negative of the App itself and resigned myself to always having to type my notes from scratch. That was that until I came across this little gem of an app! I took a chance and downloaded it purely on the basis of a couple of reviews and boy were they right! I am amazed that it recognises my crazy high speed writing and I love that it converts as you are writing which prompts me to tidy up my writing on the fly. It doesn’t get everything right but I don’t any app could ever do that but it certainly gets most of it spot on and I finally find it is quicker for me to tidy up the missed bits of writing rather than typing up notes from scratch. The only slight negative for me is the interface which I am not keen on but that may say more about me than the app itself. Keep up the super work; I’ll be using this as my main note taking tool for the foreseen future..KerverbelVersion: 1.9.2

✓ Best writing appI’ve tried most other writing and PDF editing apps and this is by far the best. Especially the handwriting conversion is a life saver, I wish I would have found this earlier than in my last year of uni. One thing I would love to see implemented is the option to see miniature pages for navigation in large documents as well as the options to add bookmarks or chapters..VejdudVersion: 3.3.1

✓ Outstanding handwriting recognitionI've been experimenting with handwriting recognition since my Apple Newton and it has been generally a disappointing experience. This isn't perfect but it is really impressive because it not only uses my handwriting which even I can't even always read but seems to use contextual cues (or maybe some Bayesian algorithms) to repair what I've written so, in other words, l wrote something incorrectly and the transcribed word was correct. l can write without having to continuously stop and correct thing so the fluid experience of writing in this app is similar to writing on a notepad! So what is the downside? It works on the iPad but you have to transfer the document to another app if you want to edit it on another device. Transfer isn't hard but necessary. And, this app really only works with an Apple Pencil of course. It doesn't have the functionality of a word processor but its good enough for most writing tasks not requiring extensive styles and formatting..GorduckoVersion: 2.7.3

✓ Fantastic app, now my go-to note takerWorks amazingly well with the Pencil (haven’t tried it with other styluses), incredibly fast and accurate conversion even with my scribbles. It’s very easy to export your notes as a word file - to polish up in a word processor - or to save as a PDF with handwriting intact but text layer underneath (not sure when this was added, but it’s great to give you a record of your actual notes). Only grumble is that even though it names the file by the text on your first line (nice touch!), when you export the file it reverts to “page 15” etc, so I copy the title and paste into the dialogue. Doesn’t take long but would be nice to not have to do that. The recent PDF-import add on is great as I’ve had to use another app for that, so I’ll be using this even more often..KenmcnVersion: 3.0.1

✓ YES, nebo editing on iphone! all i wantedJust downloaded it. very excited. 90% of the time i make notes on my iphone not tablet. EDIT: AI button needs to be smaller & movable. on even an iphone 15 pro max the button is in the way blocked text! And Undo button should be right on the page, why so inefficient to Undo mistakes?.GoldenvikingVersion: 5.8.0

✓ New update feedbackVersion 4.0.3.12907 This new version doesn’t gives great “interaction” options. The bold or underline is not great. Especially the underline, it constantly cuts in my words or glitches somewhere else nearby. I would like an option to opt out of either of these. The strike through or erase is the same deal. The strike through appears when I don’t want it. Please have an option to opt out of these “interactions”. It’s very cumbersome and frustrating, and when I hit undo, it buffers for a very long time. Thanks.MeadubsiVersion: 4.0.6

✓ Looking GoodUpdate from much earlier review. As an early adopter, I was waiting for the original MyScript's smart Note to be updated for the Apple Pencil. We got a totally new app. Like others I was wondering why an account was needed but was happy to give it a try and it’s fine. Handwriting recognition is very good and this is my goto app for taking meeting notes, especially those that might end up in a typed document. Nothing I’ve tried or read about comes anywhere close, and I’m surprised it hasn’t been snatched up by Apple and made a native app for iPadOS - it’s a step change in usefulness. What is needed, however, is a MacOS equivalent - without touch screens that would have to focus on typed notes but its real benefit would be the ability to open notes, made on the iPad, on the Mac (something you can do with MS OneNote, although handwriting recognition hasn’t found its way onto MacOS - yet). Nebo can then become the core of a full notepad system....Steve@AberdeenVersion: 2.6.0

✓ Finally a note-taking app that improves upon paper notes!Finally I’ve found a note-taking app that I actually feel like improves upon just using paper! This app has so many little touches and flourishes that really set it apart. Being able to take notes on an infinite plane that expands as I need just works! It was an easy upgrade to the full version for me. One suggestion for possible future development: I’d love it if you brought the equation-mode from the document mode into the notes mode. I love the free-form nature of the notes mode, it’s why I’m using the app. I’d love to be able to highlight equations I’ve written and convert them to typed text to clean up my bad handwriting. Considering you’ve already got the algorithm for converting handwriting to equations down, I’d be awesome to see this extended! Regardless, still a fantastic note-talking app. I don’t understand why it’s not recommended more, personally I think it’s way better than the more often recommended ones..SiZorsVersion: 4.0.9

✓ Excellent toolNebo is probably my most used app on iPad. The recognition of my handwriting is second to none and the ease with which I can write long texts and instantly share them, or open them in another app is impressive, to say the least. I've used Nebo for more than a few years and it never disappoints. However, if there is one thing that really irks me, it's when creating a new page, for some inexplicable reason the newly created page is positioned at the very end of the folder in which it is created. In folders with multiple existing pages, it becomes a real pain to have to scroll all the way to the bottom to find the page in order to drag & drop it to the top. Surely, any user wishing to create a new page wants to access it immediately, so please - dear developers - have new pages become the first page on creation - not the last. Otherwise, no gripes from me. .. and I'm sure you've guessed, this review was written using Nebo - Naturally !.Stantheman457Version: 2.5.2

✓ Best decision of 2021I am a psychologist who was previously hand writing notes and then typing them out on my off days. Thanks to Nebo (and a trusty iPad) I’ve been able to complete my client notes in the 10 minute gaps. I hand write during session on Nebo and it converts to text for practice management software. I also use Nebo for goal setting, mindmaps, diagrams, and pdf editing. Worth every cent!.LeiPakVersion: 4.0.2

✓ AmazedI'm amazed by the hand writing recognition. Really nice for note taking. I just would like to change some defaut parameters like the background color of new documents (for example set grey as the defaut color). Edit : i would like reference manager integration (ex. Zotero)! Or active limks to navigate through the document..Clem. BCY.Version: 5.1.0

✓ Love this appI love this app I use it for all my uni work and have had no issues with it, I love all the features and it works smoothly Some features I think it could include (if it already has these I just haven’t figured out how to uset them); being able to open more than one page or notebook at a time, I use this to annotate my powerpoints and take notes but I’d like to be able to jot down the major things from the power point as I go in a separate lecture summary page so having them open at the same time saves time switching between the two and makes it easier. Another less important but useful addition would be the ability to zoom on the pages, I like to make my handwriting small and find it easier when I’m able to zoom in on the page to fit more content in my view on the page once I zoom out (if that makes sense). Other than that I love this app 10/10! I recommended it to my mum and she loves it just as much as I do!!!!!.I ain't happyVersion: 3.3.0

✓ Super!J'ai téléchargé l'application pour remplacer Notability, puisque l'application a maintenant une limite de temps et je ne pouvait plus modifier mes documents. J'aime Nebo encore plus! C'est simple et facile d'utilisation, super pour prendre des notes!.Jérémy 314Version: 4.1.8

✓ Great app, although drains batteryI have been using the Nebo app for a few weeks now, and have bought the complete pack as well since it is amazing for what I need (physical notebook replacement at work). I jot down what I need and Nebo effortlessly converts it into bullets and test, along with the flexibility to add on free form sections for scribbles if required. The only negatives I can think of are the battery drain and licensing model. I don’t use my iPad for much else, but my battery drains a fair bit with the app running. With the licensing, I would love to use Nebo across my devices, however paying for the iPad version only gives me access to the app features on iPad. I will have to buy it again for Windows/Mac which is a bit excessive. Otherwise an excellent product!.MazyiarVersion: 3.3.5

✓ Issues with the new updateI’m gonna start this off by saying I love this app. I use it for my notes for most of my classes, as a lot of professors post PDF’s and Nebo makes it easy to download and edit on them. However, after this new update I have been having issues. I zoom in on my pdf’s a lot to highlight and write on them, but now, any time I zoom in and write or highlight something the app is auto scrolling to the top of the page. It’s severely impacting my note taking abilities, as the moment I stop highlighting a word or stop underlining something I’m having to scroll down again for it to happen five seconds later and it’s very frustrating. The issue doesn’t happen if I am zoomed out of the page, but because of the size of the words I have to zoom in to be able to read it. If this issue is not resolved my opinion of this app is definitely going to decline and I will be switching apps as this is mostly what I use it for. Hopefully it is just a bug with the new update that needs to be resolved..GlitchMnsterVersion: 5.11.0

✓ Another great way for older users to get into the digital ageI bought this app when I got my Apple Pencil and I really like the features but with addition of a few other things could be really great. The thing that I find I want is an easier text editor once my text has been converted. At the moment there is no way to do this and you’re left with the slightly more clumsy pencil based commands. Sometimes I just want to be able to get a keyboard up and do it old style. I would also like the addition of voice to text and to be able to add a picture of written notes to be converted to text so I don’t have to write out my already written notes twice. For this job voice to text is quicker. But I can’t do that and write too. This can also be a great way to get your ideas down quickly when you like to write. I also use Evernote for my journals and various study ideas etc and I realise I’m now creating two locations for my journals and I would like to be able to combine them more easily somehow but cut and paste between apps in hard in nebo, so if I want all in one safe place I have to go through cumbersome methods or be in two places for one project. But for handwriting to text it’s amazing how good it is, even the scratchiest Dr writing is legible. I really enjoy using nebo..NStoreyVersion: 1.9.5

✓ Almost perfectThe app is great and I love the scribble to erase feature but there are just a few problems I have faced when using the app 1. there is no way to turn off the automatic underline or strikethrough feature and this makes it difficult to do maths in a Note 2. being able to zoom out while editing a pdf would be nice as then you can view more of the pdf at a time which would be useful 3. being able to convert to text on a pdf, similar to how it can be done on a Note, would be very useful.Tnan40099Version: 4.0.15

✓ A worthy app in your portfolioI have watched the app evolve and it's one of my go to apps for note taking and brain storming. The unlimited canvas notes have taken over for other more expensive apps because it's quick and simple to use. The complainers of the tired "force me to create an account" need to read the disclosure and developers privacy policy: The account is primarily used to sync devices. The policy is clear that use of account information is limited to operations - and user content is never accessed. Don't penanize a good app because you weren't bothered to read the privacy policy..MikemayVersion: 3.3.5

✓ Awesome note-taking app… but…First, the app is super responsive. The Apple Pencil inputs are crazy fast. As a handwriting enthusiast, the conversion is freaking amazing. If you have a need to convert your handwritten notes into text, this is definitely the app for you. I can’t say enough about how I’m impressed by the conversion. Now the downside. I am looking for an app to use on the iPad Pro, then reference on my iPhone. Apple Notes is great for this. There is no iPhone app, so that’s a major drag. Also, no iCloud sync. I have no issue running syncs thru Dropbox, but it’s just not ideal. One last thing is that while the line widths and writing utensil mimics different markers, I’d prefer having access to different styles of writing utensils — a pen or pencil style. Nothing I’ve experimented with comes close to the Apple Notes app version of a pencil and while that’s not a dealbreaker, it’d just be a nice have. All these points aside, the app is really really good. I just have to get used to writing with it. Not having it on my phone might be the dealbreaker for me though..Planet pea73Version: 1.6.12

✓ Go PaperlessGreat app for importing reports and make notes, highlights on them. Use it for all my meetings. Just wish the way new documents are imported into a book/collection would be less clunky. Otherwise 5 stars..Ace rmvVersion: 5.6.0

✓ You will love it so much you will want more!I purchased Nebo some time ago and enjoyed using it but hadn’t consistently. More recently I have been journaling and writing creatively and it has been magnificent. Sometimes you don’t want to be in front of a laptop or use a keyboard, there is something beautiful about the hand writing process that Nebo makes effortless. In the wee hours of the morning after my fathers death, using Nebo with the Apple Pencil was where I could capture all my thoughts and feelings in an organic process that facilitated my ability to explore such a sensitive topic in a location and space that felt safe and sacred to me. I don’t think I could have done that with a laptop that by nature of the technology demands more structure. When I had captured everything, the process of exporting so that I could edit it in word was so easy, I felt relieved and excited. If you read the 4 star reviews you will see that they all think Nebo is great and they become expert users empowered by Nebo’s capabilities and wanting it to be even greater. This is how all great software gets better. Sure there’s a few quirks and it might take you a bit to get used to it, but once you see that this program will understand and will faithfully recognise your crappy handwriting and convert it to legible text inspite of you, you will be like all the other 4 star reviewers wanting more 🥰. I love it and personally am grateful for it..UX cookVersion: 3.3.1

✓ Some lagsIt works really well and I’m a student and it is very good and easy to use, but there have been some lags and bugs when I’m writing. I tend to lean on my ipad with my forearm but I usually just wear a jumper instead of my skin but sometimes it glitches and writes things on its own and when I’m writing it’ll lag abit with the writing and the writing will appear after 2seconds of writing it. I hope it’s not only me going through these but maybe a little touch up would help. Other than that I 100% would recommend this app :)).BerrivannnnnVersion: 3.3.1

✓ CrashCrashes immediately on startup on mac. i have tried reinstalling.AldehydeOGVersion: 4.0.14

✓ Missing features...This app is worth the money for it’s handwriting recognition alone but sadly missing quality-of-life features offered by competitors such as a dark mode or ability to choose the background etc which prevents it from being my go to note app unless I’m handwriting large amounts of text - but in that case I’d just use a physical keyboard or my macbook... Wish I could combine the handwriting features of this app with other more stylish note apps. Will be interesting to see if the developers introduce features in the future to give the app more a bit more mass appeal and style..J McGoldrickVersion: 2.4.4

✓ Best app for handwritingBasically, this is the app to use if your note taking relies heavily on handwriting. While this note taking app lacks some features other note taking apps have (audio recordings, adding text using the keyboard), nothing comes close when it comes to handwriting with the Apple Pencil. It’s like... magic, in that good old Arthur C. Clarke kind of way. Recent updates made the management of notes more intuitive, too. I still prefer to keep my [converted] notes elsewhere, though, so I can enjoy the things still missing from the app and/or open my notes on a Mac. Conversion is dead easy, so I don’t hold it against the app..Vladimir NoobokovVersion: 2.0.1

✓ DrewKayeGenerally very happy with the writing to text translation and the ability to export notes to colleagues as word docs. However working in government I frequently use acronyms, which Nebo constantly tries to convert to English words leading to a lot of frustration. It would be nice if it recognised sequences of letters in all caps and let them remain as non-English words (e.g. TGIF) Couple of other features would make this a top-notch product: -the ability to use the iPad keyboard for text input (as well as the pencil) -the ability to copy and paste text from other apps..SaaadfaceVersion: 1.9.3

✓ Love the endless pageIt’s like writing on blank paper but the paper has no edges. I love it, thank you.ArrwajVersion: 4.0.6

✓ Incredible handwriting recognitionThis app is basically the holy Grail for me I actually cannot believe just how incredibly well it works I basically wrote freehand whatever I want to and then converts it and it is almost perfect there might be the odd tiny error that is correcting but it’s really probably better than my typing would’ve been anyway.PutthegundownkinkadeVersion: 3.4.0

✓ Becoming a contenderThis app is evolving nicely. A lot of great features. “Notes” with an infinite canvas is great. Took a little getting used to when using “documents” and adding different sections (sketch, diagram, math, note) but now that I’m used to it, I like it a lot. Very fast and accurate handwriting conversion. (Much better than Goodnotes, still better than Notability.) Overall, I’m starting to use this app more frequently..KomodoVanVersion: 4.1.4

✓ Frustratingly ConfusedI do not know about other people but after years of using nebo I am totally confused to know if nebo pro, the new nebo?, is actually installed on my ipad pro. I have nebo ver 2.5.6 etc but the words “nebo pro” do not show anywhere in my software yet there is reference to it in the recent update. Was the update advice written to confuse me or what? Just not up to standard..ChrisbarrieVersion: 2.5.3

✓ AmazingTry it.Romie !!!Version: 1.4.1

✓ The app that turns the iPad into a useful toolThis is by far the best notes taking app there is for the ipad. No, it does not turn my scribble into a calligraphic masterpiece, or give me nibs and brushes to select. It does however let me write and recognises and converts my handwriting into text quickly and easily. It also lets me edit, insert new lines, correct mistakes and update my notes quickly and easily. I can load and mark up pdf documents with ease and general update most media I work with. It’s transformed my ipad into a very useful tool and given the pencil true meaning (If you cannot draw well anyway, why do people think an Apple Pencil will improve that) Thanks to the developers, and keep the new features coming. Prove to people you can improve on perfection 😀.Daveob41@Version: 3.3.7

✓ Pretty good app but has some flawsI downloaded this app thinking that it was going to be some simple and crappy app, but its better than I thought. There are multiple options even for free, such as multiple colours, uploading PDFs, etc. Obviously, you can buy the essentials pack and get more options, but here are some more suggestions: - Different page types and colours (dotted, grid, etc) with colours like yellow, blue, green, etc. - Password interface to lock private notes. - Voice control to turn anything you say into text. - Better lasso that can move words around, change the size and crop. Etc. Obviously this is just my personal opinion, but here are just some suggestions that could make this app a lot better. Thank you MyScript, you have created a great notes app that I will probably convert to!.Yetusthatfetus09Version: 3.0.3

✓ InteractionsMake there be an option to turn off interactions. Anything math related I have to write fractions and the auto drawn line always glitches. Just add an option that turns off underline/bold so that I don’t have to struggle through my note taking..EthanbchVersion: 4.0.7

✓ Overall a great appWonderful app that's very stable and works well. I've enjoyed using it and I use it all the time. Its been tremendously beneficial to my productivity. If I could make a few suggestions: some of the gestures can be awkward (for example, the forward slash is the gesture for line return so if you try to write b/c the software will either line break the b and the c or it will correct to bk), some abbreviations don't work (for example, vs. almost always converts to us and abbreviations such as hx for history will convert to his, cont. for continue doesn’t work either), double tapping to convert writing to text doesn't always work (it’s more like quadruple tapping). I have also noticed it lagging some recently but I’m not sure why. I have a pretty new iPad. Overall this is a great app and the above issues are very mild annoyances that are very tolerable. I love how accurate the conversations are overall and the ability to upload pdf files and mark them up is amazing. If you’re considering this app, go for it. I highly recommend..0verwatch36OVersion: 3.3.7

✓ The best so far…I am trying to adopt a more analogue lifestyle. The cognitive benefits of making notes in handwriting are well-documented. That requires a hybrid approach. The problems with paper, of course, include storage and searching. At the end of the day, I need digital files. I haven't tried them all, but Nebo is the most accurate and easiest to use handwriting app I have used so far and seems to keep getting better. My advice to new users is to dig into the settings and configure it for your style. That will lead to the lowest error rates. I wrote this review in the app without any recognition errors at all (for a change!) A plus is that it is improving my handwriting….WeeGee52Version: 5.10.1

✓ How to switch or change pensA state of the art notes app that works amazingly with my iPad! I love all the features and capabilities that this app offers. Up until now I have been using the stock Apple Notes app and I really do not like it. This app is a million times better than stock Apple Notes! I use this app for taking notes for my studying and it is very convenient to use and operate! I love taking notes with this and it makes my study better! I feel more motivated to study with this app! A definite recommend for studying and just regular note taking! Please download this software if you want to redesign your note taking experience! Oh I can’t explain how much I absolutely adore this note taking application specifically designed for the iPad! I have one question though. How do you change the pen you are using in Nebo? I can’t seem to find out how to do it. Help please.PowerGlideDeath2Version: 3.0

✓ PDF managementThere is no way to manage large pdfs such as textbooks which makes navigating around documents very hard. Please add pdf management functionality. Other than that, great app!.AmmarK73Version: 4.0.4

✓ Really Cool App - Some IssuesI really enjoy working with Nebo. It has replaced all of my paper notebook use personally and professionally. It’s awesome and I would make the decision to use it again if I had it to do all over again. There are some shortcomings that I’m hoping to see improved. The cloud sync is critical, but it’s clunky and can result in loss of notes. I’d like to see more emphasis on making sure that’s enabled in the app and see it made a lot more seamless. It requires me to press the “sync” button to ensure that my notes are synced - that should be something that just happens, especially if I’m using iCloud. I can’t use iCloud on a device for work because of silly security policy issues. Apparently I neglected to setup the sync on either Google Drive or Dropbox. The app was deleted and I lost all of my notes for months. This is a big problem for someone without cloud sync enabled who loses or has their device stolen, or otherwise is unable to get to the app on the device. When you delete the app from the device, nothing is left on the device. All notes are removed with the app. Cloud sync is critical. I’d like to see OneDrive added as an option for cloud sync also..AprazmanVersion: 4.0.13

✓ Love this app but needs a few fixesI used to use a different note taking app but I prefer this one over the other one because I am able to see all pages in my notebook at once and select which one I want to go to without having to swipe through each one. I also love how I can put all my notes for an exam on one big page that seems to be horizontally infinite. These are great features but the undo button is painfully slow and does not even work sometimes so if you make lots of mistakes like me it is irritating. The eraser is also extremely glitchy but it works better than the undo button. I would also love if it was able to correct my straight lines for graphs and being able to correct simple shapes like squares or triangles. Other than that I have no problems..RMad27Version: 5.7.3

✓ Can’t open since new updateI love this app, it’s fantastic and the developers deserve a lot of praise, but since the new update I have not been able to open the app. I have tried looking on their website but I can’t find any way to contact the developers or anyone else who might be able to help. Does anyone know how to solve this? As a more general review, the app is brilliant. It is very rare for the system to misunderstand what you are writing once it gets used to your handwriting (unless it is a name or made up word, though it soon learns them) and adding images is quick and easy, as is moving text and separating paragraphs. The only negative points would be that it does not allow you to paste paragraphs from one language to another (a problem in my case because I accidentally made my initial notebook in America-English rather than UK-English) and copying in general is awkward at points, as is the maths feature. However, these are very minor points for the app as a whole. I would definitely recommend this app to writers everywhere..Generator33Version: 2.1.0

✓ What I've been waiting for, forever!Amazing app - see to believe it the hype is true. Only wish I has to be able to convert back into handwriting if nec. Otherwise close to perfect and has replaced GoodNotes 4 and notability on my iPad Pro..Raving FanVersion: 1.4.1

✓ Still best handwriting appHave not regretted getting this app and it keeps improving!.NicbieVersion: 2.7.0

✓ Excellent but for one little easy to fix detailI have searched high and low for the right note-taking app and I think I have arrived at my destination. This happily syncs between iPad and Pc. I won’t say how much I’ve stupidly spent finding this out the hard way by buying other apps. Anyway I’m here now. This app has a lot of great comparable features but the only thing you can’t do is rotate an image which I’m slightly mystified by - surely this easy to do. But…I’m not going to moan to much it’s a great app. Thank you Mr Nebo..Kingdom VinceVersion: 5.9.0

✓ Good handwriting to text appI love this app, especially as someone who, when writing essays for university, finds it easier to process my thoughts by handwriting but do not want to have to retype what I have written and waste valuable time. I also find it helpful for lecture and tutorials, but my only ask to the app developers would be to include table support and the ability to create more than one indent for bullet points. Whilst there is the ability to create diagrams and solve math problems, being unable to create tables (beyond freehand drawings) sometimes bugs me a little bit. But on the whole, this is an app that I find myself using regularly and by far the best if you want handwriting to text conversion..LauraOwl12Version: 2.5.3

✓ Love the app but need to be able to control brightness of the linesI’m old and my entire adult life I’ve been a writer: books, poetry, journals. And I always wrote longhand with pen on paper, which is nothing short of magical, or spiritual depending on your sensibilities. Nothing can replace the power of writing with a comfortable pen and a clean sheet of ruled paper. The problem is my cursive handwriting is brutal to read, and after writing the first draft of a novel out by hand and having to try to read and decipher it to type it up on a computer… well, it’s tedious and dispiriting to say the least, and the laboriousness of the task extends the process out longer than it should be, or, with Nebo, need be. While I will most likely always have regrets no longer writing with pen and paper, I will also always thank the gods of writing for the app. It can read my chicken scratch way better than I. And as for the transcription process from cursive to computer ready, ha ha, it’s now literally done at the speed of light instead of taking me long, brutal months filled with strained eyes and headaches. The only reason I give the blessing of an app 4 stars instead of 5 is because, like I said, I’m old and my vision isn’t the greatest, which makes the ruled lines mighty hard for me to see. So, once there is an option to darken, or lighten, the lines, then yeah, consider this a 5-star review… and then some..Kurt BrindleyVersion: 4.0.7

✓ Definitely the best Cross-Platform Note AppI absolutely love this app! I love that I can actually sync my notes between my Galaxy Z Fold, Windows desktop, and my iPad without much issue! The only thing that I’d really like to see would be the inclusion of one or more natural looking brushes. Something like even a super basic pencil tool with a pencil like texture that can be layered for shading would be super nice. Even just using a repeated little pencil splotch texture or something would maybe work okay. The highlighter almost works for sketching and shading except the only option for it is a rectangular shaped brush and not a round brush. So that’s a little frustrating. But this isn’t really a detriment of the app I suppose because it’s not really a main focus. I would just really like something like this to be added if at all possible! Thank you!.DominicMarVersion: 5.8.1

✓ Just what I was looking forI was really excited to digitise and index my notes, and started off using Evernote but it drove me mad converting as I was typing. There were a lot of mistakes and I found it really distracting and ended up concentrating on correcting spellings rather than listening properly in meetings. There may have been a way to turn conversions off, but even then I would have had to spend time afterwards correcting to ensure the indexing was done properly. I have decided I actually prefer not to convert (it looks prettier!) and the indexing seems perfect. Well worth the price. Would like it if there were some way to keep the handwriting version, but also have a converted to type version. But I guess that would be difficult with edits and syncing….AnyAvailableNicknameWillDoVersion: 4.0.3

✓ Please Read - Important featuresThis is a very good app, don’t get me wrong but there are a few missing features that are mandatory to students like me and are mostly a standard function in other note apps. One of the most important ones is there is no auto fixing uneven shapes or lines, this can be quite annoying when drawing diagrams, an app with a desirable look on this feature is “procreate”. Another suggestion i have is to add templates, an example of an app that focuses on this is “Microsoft Word” or Apple’s “Pages”. This one is most just a personal annoyance but the eraser seems to be a bit off when erasing something. Last but not least, please add dark mode. If you are reading MyScript, i hope you put these features in as this would make it one of the best note app on the App Store. Thank you.AverageStudentDoingWorkVersion: 3.3.1

✓ My favorite note appThere is only a few tiny things that would make this app perfect and first would be to have multiple styles of paper to choose from with different paper rules... college versus wide for example and changing paper colors. I am using this app more than any other since it has the best features and most natural intuitive functions but the rule of the line height is a bit too wide on a 12.9 iPad for long hand writing and to narrow for wanting to take fast notes. I would love to have the ability to have more than one small note pad or two on one sheet. Second would be to able to turn off or lock the keyboard and eraser button from changing. My hand naturally hits the screen and finger sometimes double taps when readjusting my hand causing me to pause multiple times while writing in order to switch back, while just a few split seconds, it messes with your focus while writing. But regardless... this will be my go to app forever. I have tried several note apps and this ones is by far one of the very best out there and I really do love it and well thought out app, I hope these developers create even more awesome products with same attention to detail and user experience as they have with this product..PretenditsuVersion: 2.5.3

✓ WowJust can't get enough of Nebo.Brotherdenis52Version: 5.4.0

✓ Best out there!Like other Nebo users, I discovered all my notes had disappeared after the latest update, and no menu functions worked. I raised a ticket, and within two hours (at the weekend) I had a reply with a video solution. Took one minute to resolve, and all working perfectly again, and all notes restored. Brilliant response, still the best handwriting conversion app out there. Thank you! Update: would love to print notes directly from Nebo like other apps, instead of having to Export then choose Quick Look (what’s that?) Is this possible to have a Print function within the app in a future update please?.Reader94Version: 5.10.1

✓ OMG LOVEI never write reviews but I’ve had this app for a few hours. I love it. Will definitely upgrade. It has everything I want. Good transcription with the Apple Pencil, the AI features of getting quizzed or making index cards are such a cool feature, the writing to text is really solid, you have the ability to organize all these documents into folders and categories. The only thing I’d change is I with it has the double tap to undo feature, but other than that, this is by far my favourite note taking app and I’ve tried many..Noname1(2573Version: 5.10.3

✓ Great App with NitpicksA great app for taking notes. Transcribing notes written with the Apple Pencil works almost flawlessly, even with my terrible handwriting and it's simple to fix what didn't convert perfectly. I only have 2 issues I wish would be fixed or added. There is no auto-sync system in place. It is minor, but if I want to view notes on my Mac written on my iPad I must first touch the sync on the iPad and then download on the Mac. Every other note app does this without the extra steps. The other thing I wish would be added is a dark mode for PDF. Dark mode for notes is great, the screen goes black and the text is white making it easy to read and write at night. The PDF is still white. Notability is the only app that switches the background to black and the text to white making it easy to read at night. With these two additions this app would easily be 5 stars..D18384950482748Version: 4.0.6

✓ Highly productiveI use Nebo for my meeting note taking every day! If you want to use your own handwriting on iPad this is your app. The ability to “push” converted text seamlessly to MS Teams also is a huge time saver. All that said the best feature of Nebo is its ability to recognise my hand written notes with almost perfect results. I added the technical words I use daily to the dictionary and that took it to a new level. Selfishly it would be also nice to have the ability to add voice memos to Nebo and that would make it even more awesome! Keep developing this app :) great App! Highly recommend.Nalla AusVersion: 2.7.3

✓ Flawless until latest updateNebo is what I use 80% of the time I'm using my ipad. It's the best handwriting recognition app I've ever seen, on any platform, and I've used many. The experience has been flawless - until today. When I started the app it announced "Nebo is evolving", applied an update, and promptly discarded the last week or so of updates in the currently open note. This is the note I use to track outstanding work tasks, and some of the lost information is irrecoverable. Partly my fault for not making backups, but the backup procedure is fiddly and requires you to exit the note you're working on. I've changed my rating from 5 stars to 3 as a result of today's experience, and would suggest to the developer they implement a scheduled backup feature ASAP. Update: the developer replied straight away to the above comment, pointed out the note had been preserved in a "Recovered" collection as the upgrade migration had failed for it, and reassured me a big fox is imminent. 5 stars restored :-).FromTheHipVersion: 5.0.3

✓ Amazing handwriting recognitionI bought my new iPad Pro and pencil to do my art work. As an afterthought I looked to see if there were any good options now for hand writing notes for work. I looked at all the usual suspects but none were great. Then I stumbled upon a discussion thread where someone mentioned Nebo! This is a fantastic app and I have finally got rid of my paper notebooks at work. I do not have great handwriting so I was astounded at how good the handwriting recognition is. 90% of the time it gets my scrawl right and when it doesn't you just tap on the word and it gives you a list of possible alternate words. It's very intuitive and fast I can not recommend this app highly enough. Oh and you can create folders and notebooks to keep things organised..Gambit70Version: 1.5.3

✓ Plain Text Setup Missing PieceNebo is a fantastic app and the missing piece to my plain text set up that I didn’t even know I was looking for. It has become an essential app in my system and allows me to utilise my iPad to the fullest when note taking and seamlessly convert to plain text files for long term storage and referencing! All gestures are intuitive, easily picked up and writing is a dream!.VioletVoicesVersion: 5.2.0

✓ Great so far just need bit and piecesBrought it and quite happy with it so far especially handwritten to text bit. However, I assumed that you can’t convert back to handwritten after you converted is it right? Also we need more templates, cornel and etc... also need a title for each content, might be better than date when the note created. I assumed that you not try to be handwritten note like others but as a convert from handwritten to text, and for that it would be 5 stars. But it would be perfect if we have more features as well.Jay NgxVersion: 1.9.2

✓ Just what I needed :)I’ve been looking for a replacement for apple’s notes app and google docs that wasn’t word, and luckily, I came upon this beautiful, easy to use app. This is, hands down, the best app to use if you want to convert your handwriting into typed format. It works very well with my handwriting and is easy to edit and learn different shortcuts for your writing. I’m also glad it has an option to create a free form note, where I use it to brainstorm ideas, writing floating where ever I want it to be. You can organize your notes in collections and notebooks, which is very handy and a feature I needed. Even though this will become my main writing app, 😉 there’s only one small thing that would make it even better... a night/dark theme. Maybe I just haven’t found it yet, or it’s not there, but I would love to write in whatever color I like on whatever colored paper I like. So far it has the option to change writing color, just not paper. If you had the option to change the color of paper, there wouldn’t even be a need to have color themes- the writer could just change their paper and pen to whatever color they needed and voilà! Thanks :).Theblast99Version: 3.0.2

✓ Close to perfect for note takersAs a retired clinical psychologist, I have been taking page after page of handwritten notes my entire working life and, before that, in graduate school. If Nebo would have been available when I was younger, I would have saved myself massive amounts of time. Nebo, by itself, justifies the purchase of an iPad, if you are a serious note taker. The intuitive interface is remarkable and the cursive recognition is close to perfect. GoodNotes is good but it is not great. Nebo is great. Finally, if you are thinking about trying or buying Nebo, you absolutely must get some type of nib cover for your Apple Pencil. The nib covers greatly improve the writing experience in Nebo. My thanks to the developers of Nebo..GaryWRVersion: 4.1.9

✓ Impressive handwriting recognitionI am seriously impressed with this app’s ability to decipher my scrawl. Even I have trouble reading my own writing, sometimes..HarribarrieVersion: 2.5.3

✓ Pretty goodI think the app is quite nice. I really like the layout of the collections, notebooks and pages which allows me to see everything. And the function buttons are nice and minimal (other apps can be a bit cluttered) However I think it needs a function for duplicating a page in a PDF (can only add a blank page so far). It would be good for note taking/annotating, and also for duplicating imported page layouts for journaling. A function that could be improved is the highlighter. Some apps have the ability to highlight without covering text and appear under it. Nebo does do that with written text and text you add yourself, but not for text on an imported PDF..Vocaloid427Version: 5.8.6

✓ Annoying to have to purchaseon both the windows and apple store, Absolutely love this app, works almost seamlessly between my Toshiba flip laptop and my iPad Air. Only major downfall is having to pay on each device. Works great with Apple Pencil. The gestures take a little to get used to but absolutely change the game when writing. I use google drive to sync my notes on my iPad and laptop and it’s almost instant when both have good wifi. Well done on this app.Mieka111Version: 4.0.13

✓ Increased my productivityFirst of all, I’m never compelled to write per reviews on the App Store - in fact this is my first. I downloaded this for free, and even at that level it’s a great tool to have for university students or anyone trying to take good notes in meetings etc. I use it in conjunction with an Apple Pencil and the handwriting to test recognition is miles better than every other note taking app I’ve tried so far. I paid the £4 odd to be able to export my files to word as I found this would be helpful in printing out notes or submitting them in class. Overall this is a must have app for avid note takers, especially if you want to write them by hand and then don’t have to bother typing it up after (because it already does it for you)..Lathana25Version: 3.3.1

✓ Unbelievable thoughtfully doneThis app existed but I did not know. However, I took notes and it was amazing..David LoganathanVersion: 4.1.7

✓ At last!!!Three days ago I was looking for an app that would allow me to convert handwriting into text on my iPad Pro, using the Apple pencil. The search led to Notes Plus. But while there, I saw MyScript. It was free and had some rave reviews from people with bad handwriting. I installed it and immediately found that a £1.99 add-on was required to make it work. I followed the link to get this, only to be told that this was only available in the US. Outraged, I posted a scathing review, giving it one * - and would have given it less if I could have. I paid my £9.99 for Notes Plus. I soon found that, good as it was for many things, it was completely unable to decipher my handwriting. I can't blame it - only three people on the planet have been able to read what I write, and, sadly, two of them have passed on. I gave up the search. The next day - I'm nothing if not determined - I started again. This time the search led to Nebo MyScript. When tried to install it I found that it was already there. Overnight it had morphed. This time without the €1.99 add-on. I have now spent some time going through the tutorials and can announce that I'm In Love. Finally, and at last, I have found the Holy Grail! This whole review has been written with this more-than-5 * miracle. I am beyond grateful, not to mention filled with wonder. Thank you, thank you, thank you. The digital world continues to amaze me..BoishaaiVersion: 1.6.9

✓ Way better than ScribbleNot sure how they did ¼ but this thing recognizes my poor handwriting way better than Scribble. Also I love how you can easily scratch out a letter to fix it, and easily separate/join letters and paragraphs. Improvements: - Add a Copy All menu for an entire document so I don't need to lasso everything and copy - When copying several blocks/ paragraphs, put a blank line between them - Allow pasting into an existing block instead of having to paste into a new block and join the blocks.JonathanAquinoVersion: 4.0.6

✓ Quite good for a free app, but there are setbacksThis app on the whole for fulfils basic requirements and generally does a very good job. However, I find if you want to write type a lot of sentences in one file e.g. note, documents, etc. The app Pages, for some reason starts to flip up and down. I’m at times function selections appear when you don’t require it. Therefore, it seems too much data input on one file causes quite a bit of hiccups. Still as a free app this inconvenience is not too great to get used to..Allee2023Version: 4.0.16

✓ Less is far more with NeboAs is often said, I don’t normaly write reviews. This app is brave enough to Follow the simple concept of less is more. I've tried loads of note taking apps and most have some very clever features. Its a bit like buying a car, they might have loads of features, that at first you play with, but eventually you Just want to drive from A to B. Nebo drives from A to B brilliantly. It does one thing and it does better than any thing else. It converts hand writing to text with Just two taps. Thats it, it does it brilliantly. Just a few simple gestures, to edit. A"ticker tape" of text above your hand writing lets you see what our doing and works as a spell Weber. You can also add diagrams and a cool calculator. Its been said that it could do with more fonts. If you upgrade to the pro, you can export in word, HMTL, PDF, and text. Export text to a word or pages document and then you have all the formatting options you could ask for. Ive also posted directly from Nebo to face book. It has a powerful I search tool.. • . - This review was hand written on Nebo, it needed a little bit of editing but im still getting to grips with it. Nebo. It really is a game changer for an iPad and Apple pencil..Yerevan EvansVersion: 2.5.2

✓ Fantastic!Finally an app that can decipher my hieroglyphics :) very impressive and intuitive. Best app for note-taking that I have found. Worth the price. Folders make everything easy to find, and also the search function. Well done, very happy! Thank you!.MikeThomNZVersion: 1.6.9

✓ Good handwriting to text conversion just missing a few critical featuresThe best handwriting to text conversion I’ve used yet, I have to hand write notes to remember but need to stay organized and have ability to search without looking though massive paper notebooks. Few key missing features that would make this the best hands down 1) ability to tag notes so can search by tag or in folders or indicate when action items still need follow-up, 2) sub-folders within collections, 3) ability to favorite a document and even better have ability to create collection of favorites, 4) ability to have tasks/ dates that can either populate an ongoing to-do list or push a reminder to you ( like Quip does), 5) ability to underline, italicize, or quickly all cap / increase font for emphasis, 6) actually sync to google drive so you can view documents in your drive and easily share (no brainer here that doesn’t make sense that listing indicates sync to drive, but the sync doesn’t actually put the documents in your drive.SDBabe858Version: 3.3.1

✓ I love this app - one requestI love pretty much everything about this note taking app and I have really tried them all. The only thing that it doesn’t have that I like to use, is check boxes. The “list” option and you can tick it off. I use keep for this but would love to streamline even further..Jean Like DenimVersion: 3.5.5

✓ Great appI have tested a few note taking apps and find that this one fits best with my workflow. However, in some ways I don’t use it the way it was intended. I rarely export the notes to a text file and don’t find it particularly useful or streamlined when I do. This has a lot to do with how I am using it and is not a knock on the app. I write in all caps, so inevitably it translates to all caps. I have found the automatic formatting to be a little unintuitive and sometimes it does things I don’t want. However, the ability to move lines of text up or down quickly so as to insert text and to delete quickly by scratching out are great. Other apps require selecting a tool and usually require a multi-step process, which just doesn’t work well when trying to take notes quickly. I do wish there was a way to export the vector form of the hand-written text notes pages - maybe as a PDF. It would also be good to be able to export a whole notebook into one PDF - it would be great if it bookmarked each note page..WhaforeVersion: 1.6.9

✓ DIDN’T REALIZE I NEEDED IT!I’ve downloaded several notetaking apps, with Notability being my favorite. The coversion to text for most apps leaves a bit to be desired. However, that didn’t bother me since I really didn’t see the need. I type well, and just figured it’s easier to type. Most apps do an ok job identifying my poor writing. Turns out, I was wrong! It’s NOT easier to type! This things has changed how I take notes, write emails and other tasks. Nebo comes real close to identifying everything I write, and even gets right when I want all caps. It makes a few mistakes, but not many. Matter of fact, it’s more accurate than my typing accuracy. I’m using it now not so much for my actual note taking, but I’m using it for writing emails, and long text messages. Some notes I need to forward or add to documents, I also use this app. If you’re sitting on the fense about this one, stop and just get it. It’s slowly replacing my keyboard (I don’t use a keyboard case with my iPad Pro 12.9 - Zugu case)..JWalt300Version: 1.9.5

✓ Getting better!1Well this app was the best in terms of ink/ pen behaviour and writing conversion but was lagging in terms of new features…..BUT the recent updates have been outstanding…back here using it full hog…one feature that you can add: book marking the pdfs…thank you.PacgqmbleVersion: 4.0.10

✓ Fantastic app, needs one thing badly…Nebo is hands down the best note taking app for Apple Pencil out there, I’ve tried them all. The way it interacts with written notes is phenomenal. You have the option to leave them hand written but still searchable, or quickly convert them to typed text for easy copy/paste, etc. It’s ability to transcribe my terrible handwriting is amazing. It understands bullets, arrows, and checkboxes, and has gestures for indent and outdent, etc. You can embed sketches, diagrams and other objects in your documents, or open a Freeform note with all the power of snapping shapes and connecting lines. The only reason I don’t give it 5 stars is it is power hungry. Nebo is consistently above 90% of power usage. If the developers would spend some time with the Xcode tools for lowering power usage and follow the Apple power best practices, I think this app would be 5+ stars. It’s that good. I hope the developers read this and spend some time tuning and refining power usage!.ItripnVersion: 4.0.16

✓ Excellent app for note takingI purchased Nebo when it was a brand new pen using app and never used it. Recently I started to use it for everything and it is the best app I have come across for free form note taking. It is amazing for moving written words and images around a page. Also the text entry and way that it can accurately convert bullet points and arrows as well as other drawn graphics to text is really good..BrookeFamilyVersion: 3.3.6

✓ Love the math equationsThe functionality is amazing! Can I request more symbols? For set theory, It's helpful to have a big union sign, for repeating the union operation over a large collection of sets. it looks like a huge U, often with a subscript and superscript. The same goes for repeated intersections, the symbol looks like an inverted U. Also a proper subset symbol, it’s the usual subset symbol with the line underneath, but just the line has a strike through it, signifying that the sets aren’t equal. Also a “does not divide” sign, which is a single vertical line with a strike through it. Otherwise everything looks great, you even have semi-direct product symbols, wow! one more little wish. In the analog fountain pen community, sheening inks are very popular. A sheening ink has a base color, but as you write, another complimentary color appears. It would be fun to be able to create digital “ink” like that. Google “organics studio nitrogen” for an example. Thanks again, it’s a really great app!.ParrotkoiVersion: 4.0.2

✓ Wow, it can read my handwriting!Having had bad handwriting since my early schooldays I’ve found that most recognition programs can’t cope with it. (Many people can’t read it) I gave much thought to spending £7.99 on something that I wasn't sure would work but decided to give it a try. By and large it works, and when it struggles it’s making me improve my writing. The option to select possible alternatives in case it has a word wrong is amazing. It’s early days for me but the basic formatting of headers is so easy. As far as I can see exporting to text loses the formatting and It would be great if this could export to Apple Pages as well as Microsoft Word but as I use both it’s no big issue. I look forward to getting a lot of use from this app..AN60DRWVersion: 2.1.1

✓ GoodIt’s good but I seriously need that drag and drop feature.HK737Version: 1.6.4

✓ Great appI reviewed this app negatively almost 2 years ago and since then it's made bounds and leaps. It's easier to use than GoodNotes and the OCR (handwriting recognition) is fantastic even when I'm writing terrible. It's a great app and I don't feel cheated out of my money! The devs have put tons of work in this app and it's totally worth it. Instead of the long list from last time there are only three minor features that I would find super cool and one complaint. I'd like more notebook and paper colors, more rule options on documents like dotted or grid, and a way to add pen width and type with colors, so that it functions more like OneNote than GoodNotes with pen selection. My only complaint is that notes have a ton of lag, that gets worse as they get bigger. It's noticeable on an iPad Pro but horrible on weaker iPads..PurgenifcentVersion: 5.8.6

✓ Makes the iPad zenfulKeyboards are great, but I miss handwriting. It flows, requiring less attention than controlling ten fingers (I can touch type) and I get a little zen with my pencil as my means of expression. Nebo means that I am not left with a transcribing chore. It does a great job of turning my Zen creativity into text. Well done, and keep up the great work!.CharlieNakiVersion: 1.9.0

✓ It's OK.If the app developer got rid of the handwriting detector, it would be better to write bigger on the paper without having to stay in between the lines (ex. drawing/signature).Nebo App ReviewVersion: 4.0.12

✓ Needs Password ProtectionSeriously loving this app! Being an office worker - apart from handwriting my daily task list, I don’t really find myself writing anything these days. This app has given me an enjoyable way to start writing a daily journal, something I’ve been wanting to do for a while now. I’m also planning to start using in meetings at work to take notes. Not sure why, but the act of handwriting things seems to engage you more and better helps connect with the task at hand. Only suggestions I have would be an ability to password protect files and folders and also maybe file templates that could include one for journaling. Keep up the great work and looking forward to further improvements..Bec2alooVersion: 1.9.0

✓ Some improvements needed1. Handwriting mixing text, numbers and signs is not properly converted. Usually a + is seen as a “t” or a (+) or (-) is seen as a “G” ; business terms like FP&A or B2B can also confuse the Editor 2. If you write a big chunk and on conversion there are bad interpretations of writing then is difficult to go back to the handwriting original view once you fixed many words; there should be a way of visualising the handwritten word - maybe a export draft where you touch and show back the chunk handwritten - before you do a definite conversion 3. Would be great to be able to change a notebook language after the creation; today you need to delete and start a new one. Sometimes just after a few paragraphs writing you realize you changed languages because the conversion to text is bad..Fb_wow_okVersion: 5.0.4

✓ GREAT BUT… UPDATED!! ITS EVEN BETTER!I love this app so much it’s simple yet has everything you need with out the extra unnecessary stuff. Almost perfect actually just missing the option to be able to change the background template on free form, like lined paper or a blank page instead of just grid. The option to write on the lined paper and disabling writing to text would be a great option also, would like to be able to draw arrows over multiple lines without it saying that’s not allowed. Other than that it’s the perfect app, sadly might have to go back to good notes as they allow me to do that. Returning to edit this review I uploaded a couple months back. After updating to the latest version of the app all I can say is THANK YOU NEBO!! You guys are great and wonderful for developing this app to perfection. I am so happy about all the new features and the simple easy to use design, just in time for a new semester. 🫶🏻.JennnnnnnnnnnnpVersion: 4.0.2

✓ Good handwriting recognition; still needs a couple things to be GREATI tried out this app and GoodNotes, and ultimately this one won out because it works so much better for the way I want to write. I didn’t have to adapt very much to get this app to work for me. I take tons of lecture notes and I needed something searchable that allowed me to write as quickly as I hear it and have the app recognize what I’m writing. The handwriting recognition is pretty remarkable, especially taking into account just how bad my handwriting is. That said, this app isn’t GREAT. It is missing two pretty key and important and basic tools that may shorten the amount of time I use it. One: there is no copy/paste feature, either of what I’ve written or what I found elsewhere to add to my notes. I have to write in everything from URLs to text from web pages to bits of other notes. That’s really annoying. Two: I can’t type in this app. I would like to be able to add a text box and type in it sometimes. The addition of those two tools would make this app one of the better app experiences you’ll find *period*. But as is, it’s still darn good and well worth the money..JengermannyVersion: 1.9.0

✓ Great app both paid and free versionsI use this app on both my Samsung and my iPad and its so good that I ended up buying the two premium features which for less than £5 each are great and work so much better than a notebook and are great if you're on the go constantly and can't carry around the extra weight of a physical notebook. The only suggestion I have is adding a feature where you can password protect notes, collections and notebooks and / or hide them.Max LifianVersion: 4.0.2

✓ A Great Handwriting AppI’ve been using this app to handwrite notes in a German language class and its support for languages other than English are fantastic. The handwriting recognition is also extremely good, better than I could have hoped for with my chicken scratch writing. All of this has made my learning and organization of notes much, much easier. What has surprised me is that level of support that this app is given. In the 18 months that I've been using it, it's been added to and updated with a dozen new features, some of which (like the scratch pad) really add significant functionality, but none of which get in the way of its core handwriting recognition function. I originally rated this app 4/5 because there had been an annoying cloud services banner but that is long gone and I'm updating my rating to reflect where I think the app is today..SpudWorks78Version: 2.5.2

✓ Great App in Comparison to What's Out ThereIf its about comparing, this app gets a 5-star rating because there is nothing else better out there. I've tried multiple options and none gave me the the same easiness for writing. Nonetheless, as a user, I give it a 4-star rating because there are some items that need to improve such as the usage of keyboard (for some reason it jumps sentences some times), the mathematical part lacks adding more math terms (specially computationals), moving objects, etc. There should be a "feedback" option in the app and perhaps have a "comming up" updates to know if there are plans to improve in areas where we've given feedbacks. Overall, great app, amazing pricing... I'd be willing to pay an annual membership for this app, perhaps for the one-time pricing you're unable to invest in improvements as much as its needed..C2GRVersion: 4.0.6

✓ Simply the best at the time of writingThis is simply, quite amazing. As far as handwriting recognition goes, the work behind this is pure genius! As I write this review in the application, my virtually illegible handwriting is converting into 99% accurate text. I was using Notes Plus before Nebo and this absolutely destroys it for recognition. The editing features are awesome, so well thought out and natural. A lot of work has been put into this and I guess, it can only get better. My previous Samsung Note Pro tablet had an amazing handwriting recognition engine from Samsung which worked in every app opened. This is the one killer function missing from the iPad, but if Apple are looking for an outside source to build this sort of functionality in future OS releases, then thepeople behind Nebo are the ones to be working with..ThedrumdoctorVersion: 2.0.3

✓ How did I live without Nebo?I use an app, Diarium, for my journal, and I wanted to handwrite my entries. However the built-in handwriting recognition just doesn't work well enough. But if I handwrite my entry into Nebo and click to convert it, I can then easily cut-and-paste it into Diarium or any other app. I've also used Nebo to take handwritten notes in meetings. When I was able to produce accurate typed notes right away for attendees, they were awe-struck -- "How did you _do_ that?" The answer, of course is Nebo. And if you pay the modest upgrade fee, you can enter words into a custom dictionary so that for example, Nebo won't stumble over a person's name, weird place name, or medication name. It's a terrific app that is worth it's weight in gold. And if you do get stuck, they have tutorials and a good knowledge base on their site..CandaceSoVanVersion: 3.2.3

✓ Love the app but need more page bandwidth!I am an attorney, and Nebo has revolutionized the portability of my case files. I have always had a strong preference for hand-writing my notes, and this app now gives me the best of all worlds: I can still take notes by hand, convert them to typed/searchable text that I can share with team members by email and/or Word or PDF, AND I am no longer bogged down by multiple legal pads when I travel. My only frustration (and the reason for only four stars) is with the page limits. Part of what I love about Nebo is that I can keep a single running document that contains both my chronological notes as well as research findings related to an individual client issue, but I often hit the limit of what a single document can hold and see the ever-dreaded message that “you are approaching the content limit for this document - create a new document to avoid performance issues” (or something to that effect). In addition to frustrating the benefits of having a consolidated file for all of my relevant data, it is incredibly disruptive when that pops up in the middle of a client call while I am already scrambling to take notes of the discussion. Please, PLEASE find a way to increase the available document content!.SoodounimVersion: 5.1.0

✓ Best recognitionThe best recognition I use Nebo note taking, Making lists, brain storming, and most importantly, drafting novels. I used to fill notebooks with longhand stories, which I would later dictate into my computer for editing. Now, to use Nebo. Yes, There are transcription errors, but no more that m prior method. In fact, there may be fewer). Problem Areas: (Note: with the exception of this Note, this review was written in Nebo, then copied over. Spelling errors are result of that process. You can see you need to do significant editing.) • Gestures toseperate or join lines is temperamental. • Unusual spelling is impossible to get Nebo to accept. • Acronyms in all caps are also problematic. Sometimes (not always) adding periods between each letter helps. • Parentheses are often misinterpreted (brackets are a fairly reliable substitute). • Ballet lists are good, but there are no indents. • Numerical lists are impossible • Spell check is only 'fair'. Still, I line this program and only if peat it to get better with time. The more neatly you write, the better the text recognition, but even my sloppy, broken mixture of cursive and painted text is interpreted very well. Highly recommended. UPDATE: Still loving it, but discovering some things that frustrate me. The worst is not being able to copy and paste any text into Nebo. No, I take that back, the worst is not being able to “title“ or name my pages within my notebooks. Organization is horrific because of that..T./Version: 2.0.6

✓ Amazing app BUT...I love this app and use it for all my lecture notes and problem solving on my physics degree course. There are a couple of improvements though I think: firstly, I wish I could see page margins so that when I print my work, I can see when the page will cut. Secondly, I wish I could cut around one of my sketches and move it so a kind of cut and paste for sketches. This is because my working goes on further than the size of the screen so I have to keep scrolling back up over and over to see my previous working. All in all though, a really brilliant app for any student..RSC ScottyVersion: 1.9.5

✓ Very good for writing business notes.I strongly recommend it..Rainbow1927Version: 5.11.0

✓ Fantastic AppGreat app for anyone who attends lots of meetings and needs to keep on top of their minutes but struggles to keep track of their paper notebooks. So easy to use. OCR works really well - great for sending minutes or actions directly after a meeting as you can export in various formats including directly to you email. The only drawback that stopped me rating it a 5 was how power hungry the app is - it constantly eats my battery 😫. You can somewhat mitigate by closing the app when not using rather than having it open in the background however it would be great if the devs could do something on this in future updates 😊.AussieExecVersion: 3.4.0

✓ Effortless hand writing experienceUsing Apple Pencil on my iPad I find the hand writing experience so easy I want all text entry to be like this. Let’s face it tapping on a keyboard is a pain. With Nebo I write in my natural hand writing and convert it to text with zero errors. My hand writing is not particularly neat either as I often switch between cursive and printed characters mid sentence. There is no training required. It is easy to delete words or character simply by scratching them out. The hand writing to text is seamless to and happens in real time as you write if you want or you can write a book and convert the whole thing in one tap. The drawing is good but I would like a few more features in the graphics but I assume they will come there is a whole new app waiting to be developed there to replace Visio.

I was very please and I relied on this app very much. But since the last update it’s keep crashing and blocking during my sessions when I’m taking notes so I found this very annoying, I loose a lot of my important stuff that my clients are saying, closing and restarting the page or even the IPad. I try to reach out for the support but I couldn’t. I found very difficult to make a ticket for this complaint, so please please do something with the last version because it’s not working properly on the iPad. Thank you..LoracatlinVersion: 4.0.6

✓ Fantastic app with two very minor downsidesI use this app everyday for work. It saves me paper and I get to scribble as much as I want. I love that I can scribble, draw etc. in the ‘Freeform’ page or if I want a more conventional-style notebook with lines, there’s that option too. I love that it syncs to my iCloud. However there are two minor downsides that I hope Nebo can fix. First, I wish my notebooks auto-synced with iCloud because currently I have to manually press the cloud icon (on the left hand-side in the app) to have it be synced and backed up. Second, sometimes the app freezes but only 2 times out of 10, and in those instances I just quit the app. I’d give Nebo a 5 star rating if I could but given that I use this app everyday, I think Nebo can do a little bit more to make the app even more efficient..MPhantasticVersion: 3.3.3

✓ Use this every day still waiting for a few finishing touchesLove this app. Great handwriting conversion. I used to use their standalone keyboard with Apple Pencil but it was discontinued. The app really is useful for note taking in lectures and allows easy conversion and export for further editing. Only thing missing is pages support rather than just doc x. Please please please add drag and drop functionality. With this it would really allow a smoother workflow for creating rich notes rather than having to save and insert images from other documents. Once this feature is added I’d definitely give it a 5 star review..MattiemidVersion: 2.0.4

✓ Excellent - but lacks interoperabilityI love this app as a side-by-side note taking app when watching lecture videos. It has an incredibly accurate text recognition and it feels absolutely natural. The flaw of this app right now is the lack of interoperability. Yes, you can export single pages to several standard formats, but you cannot export a whole notebook at once. I hope this is coming soon, this app has a specific focus, it does one thing really, really well, but that also means that it cannot dance on all parties. Edit: Dec-8, 2020: Still four stars, but the lack of interoperability is still missing. I would add that when you wrote several pages of notes in one fast paced setting that the “review” feature could also be improved, either by highlighting the handwritten artifact when looking at the top line of transformed text or with a side-by side view. Still a wonderful app..AxelAxelAxel!Version: 2.8.2

✓ Nebo is a cut above the rest.I’ve tried them all and honestly the only two with a pleasurable writing experience are Nebo and Notability, and Nebo is the only one that does hybrid handwriting and text well, and it does it *really* well. There are still niggles, and it’s not perfect, but if the developers keep going in the direction they are, and they manage to solve some of the problems inherent to hybrid text, and squash some of their bugs, this will be the killer app of handwriting apps no doubt. The only problem is that now I can’t bear to use any others!.CliffrowleyVersion: 5.2.0

✓ Useful transcription toolI use a pro 11 with a second gen pencil to write anywhere between 500 to 1500 words in a sitting. So far the app is stable and functional. Previously I used a Samsung Tab s4 tablet and the app crashed a couple of times causing me to lose work. The app is accurate with the pro and pencil. After awhile I get into the habit of writing neatly but without having to cramp my style. The developer takes this app very seriously, I can tell. I’ve used hand writing transcription apps since the 90s with CE devices, so I’ve followed the developments over the decades. Usefully this app gets the balance right between auto correct and words that fall outside the normal. This is important for an app that wants to be serious. Auto correction to the point of censorship is for novelty apps, not serious productivity apps. Sensibly this app focuses on its core operation, which is handwriting transcription. It’s easy to export documents for further editing if you need extra functionality of a bells and whistles order. A good keyboard will always be faster and better. But if handwriting helps you think, or if typing is not your thing, and if you have the right hardware, I recommend this app. The app might not be at a totally five star level. But I recognize its importance and the effort on the part of its developers, and for that reason it deserves full marks..Puddle pondVersion: 2.4.4

✓ Good note taking but need some more workI really like this app for note taking but it fails to detect increased indent. Now all the notes are lined up all together while they are supposed to have different layers of indent... would definitely rate it 5 out of 5 and purchase the pro version if they can fix these. Would also recommend recognition of symbols eg upward/downward arrows, triangles, Latin/Greek symbols etc (in my case and I believe this is also applicable to many other note takers)..Krypton_AKVersion: 2.5.3

✓ Does What it Says!It’s a sad day when you give an app 3 stars just for actually doing what it says it will. The other two for me however, are worth all five. Ive gone Nebo nuts, and it’s cross platform crazy. It has never failed me on my iPad and I’ve been using it since, idk like 2017 maybe. It’s been a long time and it’s never let me down. It detects my awful handwriting and gets it right most of the time. Even the MS app works perfect. Sometimes I use apples notepad and instantly regret it. Would love a Nebo widget or whatever that displays recent note on homepage like apples notes do! I’ll check. I don’t usually leave reviews unless I’m really mad or really (like really really) impressed with someone’s work and Nebo continually falls into the category of “developers who care about work not your wallet). I’ve bought every other app since the first Apple Pencil came out and this one is the only one that’s withstood the test of time, data loss (got my Nebo notes back tho) security (kept a nosy, sneaky ex out of my private thoughts) and above all, simplicity when you need it and powerful features when you want them. Keep it up, and hook me up with a widget!!.JamiekylesVersion: 5.6.1

✓ OrganizationJust wish there were more Folder organization options and the addition of tabs so that I can do my homework in a note while looking at the textbook questions on Nebo, but amazing overall after switching from Goodnotes!.Justin.ptkoVersion: 5.8.0

✓ Miracle for my handwriting!My writing is sometimes not legible even to me, but this app does a really good job at recognizing what I meant. The functionality keeps growing too!.MikePidVersion: 5.5.1

✓ A Writing App for Long-Form (ALMOST)The handwriting recognition in Nebo is by far, easily, better than any other system out there. But more importantly, other apps will only recognize snippets of text, and Nebo is the only one that will do true long-form writing. I use MyScript for writing drafts for my novel, and I mostly love it. But it is missing some features that would be key to really make it a great long-form system. • Copy and Paste, or at least a move option. But that’s the most common request I’ve seen in these comments. • Tabs or indents for new lines. It’ll recognize them as new lines when I write, but it does not keep them when the system automatically reflows! This personally adds an unfortunate amount of post-converting editing for me when I transfer it to Pages or Scrivener. • Better recognization of some punctuation, such as quote marks, apostrophes and parenthesis. In particular, it may recognize the character properly, but add extra, unwanted spaces between them and the letters around them. • The ability to let spellcheck learn words and names. I’ve rarely run into this, but sometimes I do. Even with these features missing, this is easily the best product on the market. I hope the Nebo team will look into adding these features to stay ahead of the game and dominate a market that is as-yet unexplored on the iPad..Brute SentimentVersion: 2.3.1

✓ Gets better every timeI’ve had this installed for a few years but I’d only made sporadic use of it. Every time I dipped back in, though, it seemed to have improved by leaps and bounds, especially in recognition and custom word lists. It’s now really impressive and suddenly I find myself using it a lot. With a paper-feel screen protector and a fine-tip stylus as well, it’s every bit as good as a notebook and pen for easy note-taking, with the added bonus of exporting it all as text if I need to. (And I’m a lifelong fountain pen & paper user when it comes to notes, so I’m a really hard sell when it comes to digital substitutes.).DS150Version: 4.0.16

✓ Cool appUnderstands my handwriting really well and is super easy to use.Ace05!Version: 5.8.6

✓ Freakishly AccurateI have nothing but the highest praise for Nebo. I'll keep this simple: I’m a dyslexic lefty whose print penmanship is so bad the he writes in a (mostly) traditional cursive. I'd pretty much given up on the concept of handwriting recognition until I met Nebo, but now I know it can be done. I'm absolutely blown away by this app! Not only can Nebo recognize my AWFUL handwriting, I hardly needed to change a thing (just adjust the way I write a few capital letters, really) before I could write full speed and it could simply recognize my penmanship. Even when l butcher a word by writing too fast, it sorts it out about 95% of the time. Clearly there's some sort of voodoo involving autocorrect under the hood, because the accuracy is so good it's scary. Beyond all of that, l really like the interface. The ink is smoother than what you get in most dedicated note-taking apps (and I've used them all), and the gestures for splitting and joining words is amazing. That said, Nebo is possibly the only app I've used where the fact that it's simple doesn't feel like a copout, not a feature. To be clear, this is NOT my go-to notes app. However, it is the tool I use when I want to write by hand but would otherwise need to type up my notes later. What's more, I have the feeling that were the developers to try to make it more comprehensive, it wouldn't be as good at what it does. Oh, by the way, l wrote this entire review in Nebo on my iPad 6. Pretty cool, huh?.PedeclaudoVersion: 2.0.1

✓ Update: Good app, some past glitchesUPDATE: This issue was fixed in the last update or so. I am slowly coming back to it, and as stressful as losing access was I still see the reasons this app is better than the alternative notes apps are. The folks at the company clearly want to app to be better and they actively work on making things better, which is more than I can say for many of their competitors. Original: I love the Nebo app. Up until a few days ago I used it everyday, but after the newest app update it will not sync on my iPad. It says my files were updated to a newer version and can’t load or sync until I update the app, but I’ve checked over and over for updates and have even uninstalled and reinstalled the app. I updated my iPad even, but nothing has worked. I am devastated since so much of my work was on this app, and now I can’t access any of it..Sam CiderVersion: 4.1.5

✓ The Best Stylus App Out There" I have tried several apps for electronic note taking. I found most to be clunky and only have some features I wanted. NEBO provides everything I need for note taking, PDF annotation and much more. Must specifically mention how fluid the writing action is, with no delay between stroke and page marking. The more you use it the better it gets. My handwriting is not the easiest to read, but NEBO translates beautifully. Cannot recommend anymore highly..Timbsy11Version: 3.3.1
