Reflecting on Last Year: Successes & Struggles

    I missed the twitter chat as I was getting ready for my interview this morning. Just wanted to let you know that Subtext is changing names (don't remember it off the top of my head) and will become an app that you have to pay for.

    But I do recommend adding Notability to the list! Best app for students. They can open a document with any text and highlight, write, and type on it. And a lot more. I cannot sing it's praises enough.
