![]() Customizing Pages Second Place: GoodNotes Rather than use dividers, you are met with greater versatility. In addition, you're able to switch between gallery and list views depending on preference. All documents can be sorted by date, name, or file type. You begin with folders that contain notebooks or subdirectories for other folders. ![]() GoodNotes implements a traditional style when it comes to managing and organizing notes. While this application is powerful, it requires a more hands-on approach on behalf of the user to make the best use of it. Notes can be browsed in both gallery and list form, easily sorted by chronology, name, and date. However, this is more than enough for professionals and students alike, as it allows for extreme levels of organization. Furthermore, you can color code them for ease of use.Īt the moment, Notability restricts dividers to no more than five layers. The subjects can be locked via password if they contain sensitive information. Currently, the hierarchy includes notes, subjects, and dividers in a simple and intuitive format.Įssentially, all of your notes focus on a subject, and the subjects are sorted into dividers. Notability has made many attempts to improve organization beyond the traditional approach of folders and subdirectories. Organizing and Storage Second Place: Notability Let's do a compare and review of key features between GoodNotes and Notability. Both of the note-taking apps for iPad have a far and wide range of utilities that will help keep your plans and notes organized. With both GoodNotes and Notability, the investment results in receiving additional features, versatility, and customization as you scribble. Whether you're using a note-taking app for digital planning or for jotting down your study notes, choosing the right note-taking app is step one. Those things are expensive and unbelievably easy to lose (if you found one in Goodwin Sports Centre last June, it’s mine, and I want it back!).The two best applications designed for advanced note-taking on your iPad are popularly considered to be GoodNotes and Notability. Remember, you will need an Apple Pencil to make the most out of note-taking apps. (For some unknown reason, I also preferred practising my Arabic handwriting in Notability? ) In GoodNotes, you need to switch to shapes to draw straight lines, which is just another unnecessary step. No more highlighting three different different sentences at the same time. The downside is that you can hear the Apple Pencil tapping on screen in the recording, and it is LOUD.Īs a person who can’t draw a straight line, Notability also helps to make my notes much tidier: hold the stroke, and the line will be straightened automatically. Tap on your written notes, and the recording will jump to when you wrote it down (and vice versa). This is such a lifesaver when your lecture is not recorded by Encore! You can speed up the recording for those revision sessions too. GoodNotes lost to Notability on one function: audio recording. My choice is based solely on personal preference. I used it to make annotations on lecture slides, take notes, read & highlight papers and sign any electronic documents. I ended up using GoodNotes 95% of the time. While the latest update introduced dark paper, it doesn’t have a real ‘dark mode’ like Notability does. GoodNotes also offers a much wider range of paper settings, including the Cornell template*, monthly planner and music paper. For each module, I created a master folder and 3 sub-folders for lecture, readings/seminar and exam preparation. The folder system is easy to navigate, and documents are laid out as notebooks with covers. My favourite thing about GoodNotes is the display and user interface. Notability: A Comparison Review of the Best Handwriting Notes Apps for iPad by Drew Coffman For that I recommend reading GoodNotes vs Notability written by Drew Coffman, or search for reviews of each app on YouTube. This blog post is definitely not meant to be an in depth review/comparison of the two apps. ![]() After some research ( watching YouTubers take beautiful notes) and much deliberation … I bought both. Both are amazing tools for students who want to go paperless, and each has their own pros and cons. There are many handwriting apps available on iPad, but the debate on ‘the best note-taking app’ centres around two: Notability and GoodNotes. So, when I bought an iPad using my summer job salary, I immediately wanted ditch my notebooks and pens. ![]() Throwing them away after exams was painful both emotionally and physically. During my first year at uni, I struggled to organise all of my lecture notes, handouts, flashcards and revision posters.
