12 Days of Apps - Day 10: Notability

Even with all of our technological advances, one thing that has remained, is note taking. However, a lot of us have ditched the traditional pen and paper and use our mobile devices to take notes. I tried really hard to adapt, but I needed the actual feeling of writing. I could just use pen and paper, but I had just bought a $1000 sheet of glass that was suppose to replace lugging paper around. Then one day as I was venting to Darlynn, she suggested Notability. Her friend in med. school uses it, so if was working for her, it would surely work for me. Lets just say, I looove it!
