Crashing and closing on its own and deletes what you worked on in the last few minutes
mevro7777
I cannot count the times this app suddenly crashes and closes on its own during takes notes, and when i get back in and open my note again all what i wrote or done in the last few minutes is undone and deleted from the note…. This happens way too often it’s irritating and wasting my time…Also for some unknown reason some notes i have worked on when i open them again to study i see some paragraphs that i wrote or highlights i added on notes have moved from a slide to the other and it messes everything i did… it’s like 2 pages have merged together and i cannot undo what happened to it unless i go back again and write it all from scratch… And the 1 tap gesture that immediately gives you the option to add the most recent image from your gallery to the note has been removed in recent updates which now it takes more time to add images to the noteThis app have been wasting too much of my time especially with it crashing, closing, and messing my work for no reason. With each update I’m waiting for the issues to be fixed but nothing improves. I have been using notability for almost a year now and the crashing issue is not getting any better, in fact it’s getting way worse and recently it spontaneously closes every few minutes while im writing… i open it again and all i wrote in the last few minutes is undone… or mixed with the other page…I hope you can do something about this, unless many of us cannot continue on like this…

إلى فريق [Notability] الموقرتحية طيبة وبعد،أود أن أعرب عن امتناني لما يقدمه تطبيقكم من خدمات رائعة ومميزة تسهل على المستخدمين تدوين الملاحظات وتنظيم الأفكار بكفاءة عالية. لكن، لاحظت أن التطبيق لا يدعم اللغة العربية، مما يشكل تحديًا كبيرًا لمستخدمي التطبيق من الناطقين بها.إن اللغة العربية واحدة من أكثر اللغات انتشارًا في العالم، حيث يتحدث بها أكثر من 400 مليون شخص في مختلف أنحاء العالم. كما أنها لغة رسمية في العديد من الدول، وتُستخدم في المجالات الأكاديمية، الثقافية، والدينية.إضافة إلى ذلك، فإن إدخال دعم اللغة العربية سيزيد من قاعدة المستخدمين ويعزز من شمولية التطبيق، مما يجعله الخيار الأول لمزيد من الفئات.ندرك أن إضافة دعم اللغة العربية يتطلب جهدًا، لكننا على يقين أن هذا الاستثمار سيعود بالنفع الكبير على التطبيق ومستخدميه.نتمنى منكم أخذ هذا الطلب بعين الاعتبار، ونتطلع لرؤية اللغة العربية معتمدة قريبًا في تطبيقكم الرائع.شكرًا لكم على جهودكم المستمرة.مع خالص التحية،[يحيى رشاد]To the esteemed [Notability] team,Greetings,I would like to express my gratitude for the exceptional services your application provides, enabling users to efficiently organize their thoughts and notes. However, I noticed that the app does not support the Arabic language, which presents a significant challenge for Arabic-speaking users.Arabic is one of the most widely spoken languages in the world, with over 400 million speakers globally. It is also an official language in many countries and is extensively used in academic, cultural, and religious contexts.Moreover, supporting the Arabic language will expand your user base and enhance the app’s inclusivity, making it a top choice for a broader audience.We understand that implementing Arabic support requires effort, but we are confident that this investment will bring significant benefits to both the app and its users.We sincerely hope you will consider this request, and we look forward to seeing Arabic language support added to your remarkable application soon.Thank you for your continued efforts.Best regards,[Yahya Rashad]
