NOTABILITY VS. GOODNOTES 5 - Best iPad Note-Taking App (2021)

I have watched about 10 comparison videos (for Notability/Goodnotes), and I can say yours is THE best so far. I loved the split screen view, but what I really liked is that you give more details. For example, you are the only reviewer that mentioned that you can change the folder structure to a list (to look more like notability) or that you can change Goodnotes form a page-flip to a continuous page feed. The ONE thing that had me leaning to notability was the record function, and again, you were the only one to point out that you would hear the tapping of the pen on the glass and the audio would be weak if you weren't close to the speaker. Thanks for the review because if it, I am about 99.9% sure I will be team Goodnotes!!

Curious how you feel now? Have you been using Goodnotes or Notability? TY

[@infernothing]

Both allow hand writing notes, typing notes, drawing, importing PDFs for annotating, adding photos, paste hyperlinks in notes, etc. Both apps offer a platform to create colorful notes with highlighting, arrows aimed at diagrams you paste into your document, create shapes, etc. In most cases if you looked at notes by the same person in Goodnotes or Notability, there would be minor differences except in a few areas. Goodnotes has advantages in folder and document organization, in handwriting, paper choices, and templates. Notability has advantages in basic formatting of typed text such as indentations and bullet points (features lacking in Goodnotes), recording a lecture which is in sync with your notes and drawings. If you are usually annotating PDFs, hand writing notes, and drawing, then Goodnotes is likely the better app. If you also type a lot, then Notability with basic text formatting will make the experience much more enjoyable.

[@musefan4]

For anyone who is stumbling onto this video now, notability is changing to a subscription model (though people who purchased the app before Nov. 1st aren’t affected), and goodnotes is on sale for half off currently for today and tomorrow only.

I prefer Good Notes. At first I was going to get both but I realized that I didn’t need both because I would ultimately end up only using one. I love customization and organizing things into an endless amount of folders. With the layout of Notability, I felt like I would have gotten bored of the setup and wouldn’t have used it much because it would make it feel cluttered and unorganized. So happy with my decision!!!

[@ankursaikia1813]

I like Notability over GoodNotes because of the following reasons 1. Simple design and easy to organize. I think GoodNote has many features that looks good at the first glance but you are hardly going to use in future. 2. You can stop the annoying automatic screen sleep while using Notability. 3. Voice recording option which is quite useful when you are feeling lazy to write or want to recap. 4. If you are thinking to use iPad for projecting your PowerPoint slider, Notability works flawlessly. GoodNotes sometimes distort the texts and figure from PowerPoint. 5. I was not able to share.png and .txt file directly to GoodNotes. This was smooth with Notability. Goodnotes is good at annotation of .pdf files.

[@1187624]

I have tried both, I suggest buying both XD, both got their own pros and cons and I find having both is the best choice as you might have different courses that require one but not the other.

I use GoodNotes and prefer it over notability. However two things really bother me so I give it a 4 out of 5 stars. The first being text. You are right about it being finicky. I have a hard time using and it’s super frustrating. Second, no option for password protection. The latter being what I consider very important. I really hope GoodNotes addresses those two issues to make it 5 stars.

I like both of these apps. I use Notability for lecture notes, primarily because of the recording feature. I use Goodnotes for my assignments because I can write directly on the sheet and easily save it to files to upload or email when it's due. It's possible to save Notability sheets, but it's a bit clunkier.

Glad you liked it!!

[@perryschemistryvideos9278]

I use notability because of its simplicity. I am writing to project on a screen normally (I'm a teacher) and want to not get lost in customization. I love that I can press 1 button and have a new note to write. I like the fact that I can switch pen colors, types, etc without a million pop-up menus for students to see. I can easily upload a note as a PDF to a folder to share. I import PDF's all the time to write on top of for worksheets. While GoodNotes seems to have a great deal more customization, sometimes less options makes life better.

[@TheMelodyIsInMe]

at first, I didn't like Notability, so I used mostly Goodnotes but in the past few months I went back to Notability something about it is a lot smoother and intuitive than the Goodnotes (though they are very similar) I just wish Notability would add more paper options and the special features Goodnotes has

[@SiddarthMalik]

How is the handwriting experience on Goodnotes?? Does it auto smoothens your handwriting? With notability I get a lot of jitter in my handwritten letters as I type slow. GN smoothens out the handwriting like Apple notes does (this setting is called streamline which is available in procreate with a setting to adjust)

[@lordhenixtwitch]

I love them both Notability for the simplicity of writing notes or jolt down some quick notes also love the continuous page creation and GoodNotes 5 for just overall note taking and organization but only thing I would say I dislike is that you have to hold to create pages not like notability where it automatically makes another page for you.

[@tiendatnguyen6758]

it seems like notability is more simple, like litterally what we would do with paper

Goodnotes! I started to use notability last week. I like the voice recording function but the rest of it is a bit inconvenient to use for me compared to goodnotes.

[@jocela3246]

I use both! I have Goodnotes for my textbooks then import chapters to Notability where I annotate them. After 2 years of using both, Notability’s writing experience is just far better compared to Goodnotes but I can’t use Notability fully because it doesn’t have the thumbnails view that Goodnotes offers. Notability also has the option to change pens, eraser tool, and lasso tool on its zoom window which is super convenient (Goodnotes 4 had this but idk why they removed it). Also the favorite pens/highlighters make annotating a faster experience vs Goodnotes! In general: Goodnotes: textbooks, planner, annotate pictures, etc. Notability: annotate pdfs, write notes... I basically use it like I would use a notebook So if you’re textbook heavy and don’t mind the less delightful writing experience, go for Goodnotes. If you’re into something more straight to the point, go for Notability. ☺️

i chose goodnotes because it’s a lot cheaper and there’s no additional in-app purchases or subscriptions… i’d rather do a one-time purchase of $7.99 with goodnotes than have to pay $11.99 yearly for the notability subscription. i love the recording feature on notability but my teachers don’t allow me to record them during lectures. also i prefer the aesthetic of goodnotes over than notability and the fact that you have so many notebook covers to choose from. but of course, people have different preferences, so if you feel notability suits your needs best then i’d say go for it because neither are bad apps for note taking 😁

The problem I have with goodnotes is the limited 3 quick access pens. When I take notes, I use way more than 3 colors, so it's annoying to always have to make 3 more clicks during lectures. Also, I havent found a way to make shapes by only dragging + scaling (not drawing and holding).

After drawing the shape or line, just tap it and it will allow you to drag and scale!
