Personally like the app. Wish it had a few more features I'd honestly pay for. 1. Full screen mode. I wish I could hide the side bars and take full advantage of the screen. 2. Better palm rejection. The screen flies sometimes. Or at least add a button to move the screen accidentally. Changing to Samsung notes if it isn't there honestly...

Need a trigger for manual sync! The auto sync takes forever to start. This means my other devices can't see the data on the original device until that is done. I also noticed that as long as I have copies of the same file on multiple devices and make changes to one of the copies on one of the devices, sync will show up a conflicted copy. Shouldn't this be an overwrite?

Thank you for your feedback. We are constantly enhancing the sync feature for our users. While the auto-sync is not immediate, we have deliberately chosen to preserve all versions of conflicted notes in the notebook to prevent any unintentional data loss caused by overwriting. Best regards, Mila

Nebo has left me thoroughly disappointed. Despite its hefty price tag, the app fails to deliver on basic functionality and support. Attempting to use Nebo across different platforms proves to be a costly endeavor. Purchases don't sync between devices, meaning I had to double pay for access to the iOS version. Despite reaching out for a refund, Nebo has provided no resolution. Syncing between devices is unreliable, and critical features like tagging and collaboration are noticeably absent.

I'm sorry to hear about your disappointment and to see you leaving. As it's a one-time payment for lifetime usage, the purchase is separate on each platform. To sync your notes, you'll need to upgrade to the full version of the app. Please note that the sync feature is not available in the free version on Apple devices. - Mila
