Nebo (MyScript Notes)
Pros
- Handwriting recognition and reflow in structured documents stay a standout workflow
- Boards give a true infinite canvas next to fixed notebooks and PDF imports
- Math, diagrams, and shape cleanup export cleanly to Office-friendly formats
- Cloud sync through a MyScript account plus iCloud (Apple), Google Drive, or Dropbox
- One mobile purchase can cover up to several devices across iOS and Android (per store policy)
Cons
- Mobile app rebranding to MyScript Notes can confuse legacy “Nebo” search results
- Windows Nebo licensing is separate from the mobile subscription bundle
- Windows edition is in maintenance mode with no major new features promised
- Not a calendar-first planner: tasks and reminders are light compared with dedicated planners
Notability
Pros
- Ink latency stays among the lowest on iPad
- Recording tied to typed points still wins lecture praise

Cons
- Annual billing versus one-time rivals still sparks pushback
- Crash-and-recovery chatter spikes during finals windows
- Power organizers still pick GoodNotes for search and library scale
- Perceived value drops when discounted competitors match ink quality
