Dumb question but how do you use Notability with Android (your Note 2)? Everything I see indicates an Apple/iPad/iPhone app. What am I missing?

Tessa,

You're not missing anything. I meant to put iPad, not my Note 2. However, right after I got my Note 2, I test drove some Notability-like apps for Android. And the one I settled on was the native-to-Note2 S Note. It works well for handwriting my notes with the stylus and since it's integrated with Evernote, then ta-da! ;)

Sorry for the mix-up and thanks for stopping by, Tessa!
