Notability has a big new version 11 update out, but that isn't the only change people will notice — Notability is now free with an annual subscription unlocking functionality.
Previously a paid app, Notability can now be downloaded for free which makes it available to more people. However, limits on editing and other features will see people hand over up to $14.99 per year to the App Store to get access to the whole app.
Already a Notability user who paid upfront for your app? You'll be able to continue using it without paying another penny — until November 1, 2022 at least.
In terms of new features, Notability has gained a gallery where people can post their notes for everyone to see.
Other changes include more flexible organization options, hand-crafted templates, and an enhanced page manager. More information is available in the announcement press release while the blog post is worth a read, too.
Users can download Notability from the App Store now. It's undoubtedly one of the best iPad and Mac apps at what it does.
