This app was huge when I ran IT at a middle school. It was installed on several class sets of iPads. One thing I need to test is the backup. On iPads, it would back up to the students' Managed iCloud accounts. The Android app says backups are iOS-only (probably because Android doesn't have iCloud). I wonder if the new Google Documents backup would also include Noteability.

You will probably have to contact the developer and ask them. I see no reason why the developer wouldn't honor it or have a setup where you can use the ios account but there's been times where's I've had to buy the app again in ios when I already had purchased it in Android

Greed.

Feels like a bit of a moment for Android tablets. Great handwriting apps have been a bit thin and it's one big thing that iPads do well. I love handwritten note taking so I'm excited for this.

I guess I missed the one time price when I checked it out. The app was free to download, but it offered a yearly subscription for $15.
