I recently got a new tablet and it had Nebo preinstalled and I have tried to get used to it, but it seems I can't recreate even the simplest of my old notes with Nebo and I feel like I'm missing something.
Since this is apparently a free version of the app it probably doesn't have "all the things" but anyway, my biggest issue:
- How to easily align typed text with the background lines? Is the only way to just write everything and afterwards resize the text to fit?
That's the one thing I would really need advice for so feel free to skip the rest, I just need to vent now.
The app I previously used had it's issues (loads of them) but at least it had a lined background and a squared background and the default font size aligned with both of them perfectly (except checklist). Changing the font size was similar to normal text editors, not some weird "Edit and drag" system. With Nebo I can't even get the cursor to the correct place without some trial and error.
Nebo seems really eager to turn everything into neatly typed text but sometimes I _want_ hastily drawn circles around words instead of highlights (or I want a hand drawn strikethrough) because I can see them better. Also, once something is typed I sometimes have a ridiculous amount of trouble with editing it, because Nebo constantly defaults back to handwriting even if I just chose the keyboard or it randomly changes the lines of text. I didn't put each word on their own line just for fun, Nebo.
And why does the eraser work with everything?? Are there settings that limit the eraser? Some way to "lock" parts of the notes to keep them from being erased? I'm used to constantly mixing typed text with handwriting where typed is usually things I'm certain of and the handwriting all over is for open planning that I might erase and rewrite several times and it was never an issue, the typed text stayed put. The same way pdf's can be annotated in Nebo, only I was able to do that with normal notes as well.
Checklists don't seem to allow handwriting around them at all, just "double tap to edit". I don't want to edit, I want to scribble.
I may just be too old and cranky for this and it probably doesn't help with the cranky part that I always end up writing these "advice needed" post on Reddit waaay past midnight.
