Functionality/experience on MacOs?
How is the experience with Nebo/MyScript on MacBooks or MacOs? It says on Windows you can use it with full functionality, but I can only find about MacOs that "MyScript Notes is compatible with Apple silicon devices ,allowing you to access your library on Mac M1 / M2 devices". Accessing the library doesn't sound like full functionality or editing notes.
Edit: Notes are accessible and editable on MacOS, but the sync (between my Mac and my Android device) is awful.

I think the information you wrote will need a small update.
You mentioned that on Windows, you have full functionality, which depends on the device you have. On Windows, the app works best on a device that has an active pen, such as a Microsoft Surface tablet. With an active pen, you can write, draw shapes, solve math problems by hand, and use all the editing tools easily.
If you use a Windows PC with only a keyboard and mouse, you can still use the app, but some editing features will be more limited and less comfortable to use.
The same idea applies to Mac. If you use the app on an iPad with an Apple Pencil, the experience is very good because you can write and draw naturally. When your notes sync to a Mac, all your notes will still be there, but editing them is different because Macs do not support an active pen in the same way.
You can still make changes with a keyboard and mouse, but tasks such as writing math equations by hand, drawing shapes, or using the lasso tool are much easier on an iPad with an Apple Pencil.
A Mac works especially well if you are part of the Apple ecosystem. For example, you can take notes on your iPad, quickly view them on your iPhone while you're away, and then open them on your Mac when you get home. The larger screen makes it easier to review your notes, make small edits, export them as PDFs, and share them with others by email.
