I’ve used notability for years starting on my ipad and later my iphone and now mac. It’s great for the most part but today I found that about 6 of my subjects have been deleted from the app suddenly. It sounds absurd but I’ve had subjects such as “Life” “Miscellaneous” with various notes in them for quite a while. They were backed up to dropbox since I began using this app and more recently I added iCloud drive as another backup service for notability. I don’t know what happened but now only 3 subjects remain and it’s quite frustrating.
The backup services clearly need some work and I hope there’s some way to retrieve my information. I’m not pleased.
Also, one thing that severely affects the organizational quality of the app is that whenever a note is imported to another device, that note’s ‘modified’ date is changed to the time when it was imported even if you haven’t actually modified anything in the actual note. That makes no sense. Let’s say you install the app on another mobile device and import every note you have ever made, they will all have been ‘modified’ on that day meaning that from that day on it will be virtually impossible to distinguish between older and newer notes without opening every single one and reviewing what’s in it. This is ridiculous.
