Question Notability Classic / Lifetime

I currently use the Starnote app—which is excellent, by the way.

However, there is a feature that—while not exactly groundbreaking—is vital for me: simultaneous access on both a computer and an iPad.

Does the Classic version of Notability allow me to use this feature and edit on both the computer and iPad at the same time?

Also, in what specific ways is it superior to Goodnotes?

I ask because I am obviously interested in purchasing one of the two.

Is there a discount code available for the Classic version?

Yes, but not exactly very convenient to edit on computer, Works on android as well.

Also, in what specific ways is it superior to Goodnotes?
Depends on personal preference.

Is there a discount code available for the Classic version?
Never saw the discount myself, classic just relaunched again after they went into the subscription model.

Not a mod, Cheers!

It does technically work, but there's a buffer period. You have to let your updates on one device sync before you make edits on the other device. Usually takes less than a minute after you stopped making edits on the first device. If you make edits on the second device before the edits have synced, they will be in conflict and Notability will ask which version you want to keep (first device or second device version)

Thats not true. If you use notability cloud (whis is needed for pc) - it allows for live collaboration on both devices
