I am starting to use Notability instead of Pages or Word. I highly recommend it and at this price, it’s an app that everyone should try. If you miss the special deal, it is still a special deal.

Notability is the perfect note-taking companion for iTunes U! Liberate yourself from piles of paper and books by keeping this data in Notability. Our full-featured and easy to use tool set enables all types of annotating and data capture. So what does it do?

 

Full-featured Handwriting

  • Capturing ideas easy and awesome with smooth ink.
  • Use the zoom window to quickly draw every detail.
  • Check out the palm rest to protect your notes from unwanted marks.
  • Copy, move and even re-style the color and width of any ink.
  • Drag-and-drop thumbnails to reorder notes while adding or removing pages as needed.
  • Choose a paper to fit your style and use a variety of pen colors and widths to create beautiful notes.

 

PDF Annotation

  • Annotate PDFs.
  • Record, type or handwrite on anything.
  • Share your annotations with anyone using email or Dropbox and more.

 

Advanced Word-Processing

  • Try the features like styling, outlining, and spell check as the perfect tools to get the job done quickly and accurately.
  • Use bullets, bold, italic, underline, font presets, cursor controls, and more, seamlessly to help you create rich notes.

 

Linked Audio Recording

  • Link audio recordings automatically to your notes.
  • Review your notes, then tap a word to hear what was said at that moment.
  • Use advanced audio processing features to create brilliant recordings in any setting.
  • Use the recording feature to capture your own voice for memos, presentations, or speech practice.

 

Auto-Sync

  • Auto-sync your notes to back up in the cloud.
  • Easily collaborate at work or school sharing ideas and notes on the fly.

 

Media Insertion

  • Enhance your notes by adding pictures from your photo library or from the iPad camera.
  • Insert web clips, figures, and drawings to compliment your notes.
  • Crop, resize, and draw on images to make them perfect. Your text will automatically flow around them.

 

Library Organization

  • Organize, protect and share your ideas and notes.
  • Drag and drop notes into a subject and use a password to keep notes secure.
  • Auto-sync your notes to automatically upload to Dropbox, iDisk or WebDAV.
  • Import notes, PDFs, and RTFs from the cloud or web.
  • Share notes via Email, Dropbox, iTunes File Sharing, and AirPrint.

 

When I review apps, I want to find apps that meet multiple needs. Notability does everything students will need to keep notes and share with their teacher and peers.

So if you get a chance, download Notability to try while it’s at a great price. Go here to download: Ginger Labs
