[@JaniceStudies]

Thanks to a few people who have pointed out the following features of Notability that I did not highlight in the video (the app has updated since - I will update it and play around with it and update this comment with how I feel about it!) 😅😁: - Zooming/auto-advance feature is available in Notability UPDATE: This feature is very, very similar to that in GoodNotes, however with the exception that the blue box (the window that you write into that advances for you) within the zoom window is on the right side as opposed to the left, so once you write into the blue box near the end, the window will advance to the next line but you have to wait a quick second for it. In GoodNotes, because the blue box is on the left, you continue writing from the left, meaning you don't have to wait for the window to advance to the next line. GoodNotes therefore has a better auto-advance / zooming feature IMO compared to Notability because it's less disruptive. - Side-by-side note feature in Notability whereas Goodnotes doesn't have this :) UPDATE: This is a GREAT feature that I wish GoodNotes had. However, I do feel like this is more useful if you have a bigger iPad because the side-by-side documents are more uncomfortable and not practical to write on if you have a smaller screen like mine (9.7"). Other than that, there is really nothing bad to say about it!

[@JPDC624]

Janice Studies doesn’t matter, GoodNotes is the clear winner. 😀

[@jinyanli4370]

Hey, how to show the iPad screen like you did in the Video?

[@bennobear1]

Elizabeth Lee iOS got a record feature since iOS 11 (i think it was 11 may be wrong) - should be in your control center

[@michellewright8428]

Hey Janice, did you ever announce a winner? I'm thinking about finally pulling the trigger on purchasing Goodnotes, so I'm just wondering who won. I know you're busy with school, but I appreciate all the videos and fun Instagram posts you still manage to share with us! :)

Yes! I rather tend to Goodnotes, but the possibility to rotate your notes is something that would be really important to me. And also the option to record a lecture is something I already know from OneNote, it would be really great if they would include it in Goodnotes.

Personally I'd say get Notability! They added a new feature where you can erase partially or whole if that is a concern! I'd say with this online school situation you can now record your lessons via zoom without getting a lecture haha unlike Goodnotes! Let me know which you chose!

A lot of the cons for Notability have been fixed: - now there is a partial eraser - you can change it so its pressure sensitive or not - you can also draw shapes now and edit proportions and border & fill - there is also completely custom colours for pens now, which I believe is not in GoodNotes - ALSO notability has the zoom feature she just missed it

Yes, the highlighter problem made me choose GoodNotes. I highlight a lot with different colors, which signal different things to me.

[@nj7653]

I am a Biology major with a pre med concentration. My favorite subject to study is science because I love how everything is related and overlaps to one another. You can't teach biology without a bit of chemistry and physics, and chemistry is essential to understand biological mechanisms and basic physical properties. Your vids made me get an iPad and Apple pencil and it was by far the best investment I've made in a while. Love your vids. keep up the good work

Janice Studies I’m thinking of purchasing goodnotes

[@jorodri12]

I bought Notability YEARS ago and will definitely be buying Goodnotes! So I guess I'll have best of both worlds.

[@davilanda2979]

Goodnotes !

[@jollyhuang]

Before you decide, I think you should checkout noteshelf 2 :) because it's kind of integration of notability + goodnotes :)

[@myspilledtea]

You’ve probably already seen me through the comments already (or maybe not). But I still have a preference for noteability. The three top features that got me to use noteability over goodnotes are: 1) voice recording- this will save you a great deal of trouble if you’re taking a hard subject. If you’re sitting back to back through 4 hour lectures then you might miss something or sometimes you get professors that talk waaayy too fast. A lot of people don’t think how tired you end up feeling and won’t retain/recall much of the information. I see this a lot in class when people ask questions or go to office hours to talk to the professor. 2) side by side note viewing- this is pretty obvious why I like it. So I can see multiple notes. I save a pdf version of my textbook and lab book so I can fill in the answers while I’m reading. 3) Rotation of handwritten notes- This feature is good for cramming notes into one page so you don’t have to spend time flipping through pages, fixing your notes when you create a mistake, making more symmetrical designs for notes.

[@JustMe-12345]

I have both apps but mainly use notability for the following reasons: It’s very easy to open a PDF with it (eg presentations from the professors) and write in it. I only know the newer version, there 2 files can be open at the same time (which i use all the time for summaries). Shapes can now be drawn by simply holding the Pen on the page after you have finished it, it can form circles, ellipses, squares, rectangles, straight lines, triangles, symmetrical 5 and 6-sided Forms (i don’t know the words in English) as well as random shapes. The eraser now has 2 modes (entire or selected erasing). Adding pages, pictures... is really easy. When writing on a PDF (only then) you can write from the edge of the slide or at any place (and save your 3 Favorite writing styles). The colors have also improved, there are multiple slides of preferred ones and you can make your own and save them. I don’t really use GoodNotes, partly because when the backgrouns is dotted you cant write on the keybord and stay within the lines, which was a downpoint for me. The text does not have an automated starting point, from where you can write and it will always be the same. Therefore i barely use it...

[@rereyrt123456789]

My favorite subject is psychology. Right now I am enrolled in a Psychology course and I absolutely love it. I love learning about how people work... what motivates, what causes their actions - all in all why people do the things they do. This helps me so much with my relationships with friends and family and how I can best help them.

[@OrangeGamingAndTechHelp]

Brian Gutierrez oh yeah yeah

[@ShinigamiAnger]

@@briang1310 by watching this video I'd say goodnotes is much better. I hate the highlighter on notability. The eraser is bad too and the shape drawing is ridiculous. Audio recording and double notes opened at the same time are useless to me. Though I hate the horizontal scrolling in goodnotes. Still it is hard to decide, one of them should really implement the good features of the other ffs!

[@briang1310]

Shinigami you can make perfect circles while holding it now. And have two windows open too. There has been a lot more updates

[@ShinigamiAnger]

@@briang1310 yup, correct, thanks for your reply 👍🏻 Still I can't understand why they can't make a better highlighter: just let the user choose the desired behavior, one like it is right now and another one to simply put one level of highlight beneath the text, no matter how many times you draw it. The eraser could be improved too: at least 2 modes, where you can erase full strokes or just portions of 'ink'. They should look at zoomnotes for this, you can even erase by brush type! That's awesome becouse you can choose to erase just the pencil for example, or just the highlighter, or just the pen or whatever.

[@karimabourayan6778]

Great video as always. An anesthesiologist/anaesthetist here. I used to like physics in school so much. How the world works around you was what I liked about physics. BTW, I have both Goodnotes 4 and Notability. So may I add few things: you can search in all documents at same time in Notability while you can't do that in Goodnotes. The new update to Notability let's you open two documents side by side. When You import a pdf in Goodnotes 4, it will import it as it is while Notability adds a large white margin making everything smaller and harder to read. I like everything in Goodnotes 4 except one thing: I can't rest my hand on the screen while writing when I get closer to the lower edge of screen. You said before that you have a trick to solve that but you didn't tell ☹️. Waiting for your next video.

[@johnw9177]

Excellent job. I use both, but Notability more frequently. The writing experience just seems more to my taste. You mentioned the zoom feature for Good Notes, but Notability has that also. The recorder on Notability is a nice idea, but it picks up the tapping noice from my writing making playback later a real problem for me. Maybe I just write too hard.

[@erinpidcock2017]

this is a super late addition to this but if you wanted to record audio while taking notes, if possible you could put in a headphone or connect headphones to your ipad and it wouldnt pick up the tapping noise as much

[@Khemani_RL]

Good video. But one thing I want to add. You can easily draw shapes within a note. Just draw a line and hold it for a sec at its end. It will automatically straighten the line. Using a grid template it will even stick to the grid. This way you can draw perfect shapes in Notability. :)

My fav subject is food and nutrition. It opens a new perspective of what we are consuming, like the essential vitamins and minerals. Now, whenever I am eating something or simply sees food, I instantly think of the nutrition it provides us. And more importantly, I now have a heather diet and I hope you too. BTW, nice comparison between the 2 popular note taking app. Keep it up!

[@janicejin9584]

Hi, I loved this video! My favorite subject is English, I've always loved reading and writing; which is kind of my voice and way of being creative. I think it's amazing how the real world seems to blur out when I start reading and fall into the author's world. There is so much to learn and discover about every language and its background which widens my curiosity constantly; that's why I love the subject: because it is infinite.

Thank you for the simple but informative comparison between the two note taking apps. I am a property manager with a lot of office suite renovations and new build outs going on all the time and I need to continually add changes and track the progress of the build. This was getting harder and harder using an actual paper notebook and since I just invested in a new iPad Pro and pencil figured I would put it to good use but was unable to decide between which app would work best for my job. Because I am big on color coding within my notes I decided GoodNotes is the way to go for me so I am off to the App Store to make my purchase. Thanks again for helping me decide.

I wish the two apps would come together in one 😁 my favorite subject is design and marketing

[@sherrymaecabrido6179]

I would have to say, my favorite subject is Anatomy and Physiology! I just enjoy memorizing body parts, bones, and muscles! And drawing them, im not a good in drawing but still fun!

[@myspilledtea]

This is one of the best comparison videos of noteability and goodnotes. There were a few mistakes about the features but it was nicely done overall.

[@adityasolanke2434]

It was a great video Janice! I am a general surgery second year resident and am really thinking of getting the apple pencil. Thank you for describing these apps so well. And my favourite subject is and was always neuroanatomy, and how you have used these apps to take down notes makes me very excited to get the pencil and open up the old Snell again!

One reason to choose notability infinite vertical scrolling

[@roby2764]

Not good if u want to print uour note

[@susiechoban1542]

Funny, because it’s something I personally hate. It’s not clean, it’s not easy on the eyes either, especially if you are reading a PDF document.

[@yinxinhe3750]

I think this should be offered as an option in the app, just like Microsoft Word, Not a reason to choose an app.

[@user-rn9ik8hg4q]

It is present in Good notes 5.

[@keller109]

Goodnotes5, which was released last week has vertical scrolling now. Booyah! :D

[@Melissiehartje]

I still dont know if I should use notability or goodnotes 😭

[@abrarmohammad4009]

Use onenote then.

[@celeryystick]

what did u choose??

[@14yve16]

use microsoft OneNote then ! uwu~

[@obliviaaate]

Love this! Super helpful and informative! My favorite subject is Marketing Management because your whole business depends on how you promote your service or product to potential customers. I think it is interesting in both the consumer's and the firm's perspective.

Thanks for a really informative and useful video, Janice! 🙏🏻My favourite subject is Linguistics. It is the science behind language and I adore how wide-ranging its field is. Have you ever noticed things about English or another language that don't quite make sense on the surface? Well, you're in luck because there is a whole science out there to explain it, from demonstrating why we can say 'teeth-marks' but not 'claws-marks'; to identifying why some stroke sufferers can understand speech but not create it, yet others cannot understand a word but can string grammatically pristine sentences together with relevant ease. Linguistics explains the origin of our speech - did you know that 'tooth', 'dental' and 'orthodontics' all started as the same word several thousand years ago but arrived in English via three separate languages? Have you ever noticed the difference between the letter T in 'top' and 'stop'? How about the fact that in some languages, there is no word for left/right - only east/west - because humans actually have the ability to sense where north is? Have you ever noticed that we say things without directly saying them, like 'That's a lovely iPad you have there: it would be a shame if something were to happen to it.'? Did you know that French, Russian, English, Dutch, Swedish, Hindi and Latin all developed from one original language thousands of years ago and that we can reconstruct the holy grail tongue of our forefathers? Linguistics takes care of all of this (and more) and offers a deep and insightful window into the inner workings of the human mind, as well as the lives of our prehistoric ancestors, and that is why I make it my life's work to unravel its beautiful mysteries. If you're reading this and have any questions, please ask me and I'll be happy to share more of my subject with you. Once again, thank you Janice for such a fun and informative video and for sharing your creative skills with us :)

[@chevs8542]

My favorite subject is definitely history. I love learning about the past and how it influences and relates to the present! (A close second would be geometry tho) :)

[@03_rahmatfadilahakbar43]

I’m in a hurry, so i bought two 😂😂

[@iovechester5654]

Just got GoodNotes and I’m so happy with it. It’s really easy to use and I just love it.

[@sounavaghosh]

Great video! My favourite subject in school was Physics - because I could relate to everything happening around me and understand the reasons!

[@adalsteinn69]

Ohhh, still can't deside, guess i'll just buy both :)

[@Love-Runs-Blind]

Rich guy

[@adalsteinn69]

@@Love-Runs-Blind I ended up buying Goodnotes. It does everything I need ;-)

[@Love-Runs-Blind]

Bro so should I go with same coz am confused just like u. Can i convert and use pdf files here and write along with diagrams and do each and everything hrre....plz tell me bro.

[@PeacheePea]

Seems a little bias towards good notes​. Clear from the start which you prefer.

[@darisputrahadiman2639]

yep. agreed. very bias

[@Ventus2077]

Which is the point? She has given reasonable cons and pros for both of them and would obviously head towards what she thinks is better for studying

[@jessicac.6277]

On the contrary. I thought the beginning was in favor to notability.

[@dariusthetechguy5212]

There’s usually bias involved in comparisons

[@TheNaturalRunway]

PeacheePea 👆🏼👆🏼👆🏼

[@lenasyona2834]

Thanks for the video! it's so clear and useful! to make the decision I'll choose goodnotes since I need the music sheets :)

[@ghostisdead8150]

Tysm, I’m totally buying good notes 5, I really spent a lot of time thinking about it but thanks to u, now I decided. I closed good notes 5 bc I personally don’t like all the features of notability, however, both are such amazing apps.

[@wolfiewalfimations3804]

“in notability you can only erase full strokes” lol no

[@schang_lh]

you can erase partially now

[@caraawnuur2383]

This was so biased towards goodnotes ...... clearly you like goodnotes better

[@anandaditya479]

Wow, that was really well made and comprehensive comparison. I was just looking which app to buy. Thanks a lot.

[@katiaistomina3978]

aditya anand what did you pick?

[@nylibra8145]

I've started uni now so all I really study is science. But I love making notes for science bc it has a great balance between notes and pictures/diagrams that aid the learning. For me it's so interesting to learn about all the different processes and how they basically keep life going. I've wanted to go paperless for a really long time and finally doing so this year after all the iPad productivity videos I've seen and having one of these apps would be so helpful!

[@CynteriaSanders]

You’re in nursing School? I didn’t know! That’s really cool.

[@CrazyHappiness23]

Literature because it’s not Math

[@PixieElfieee]

I love studying fashion because it’s so fast paced and the history of fashion is so fascinating! X

[@marissajovel3331]

this was a life saver!! I almost bought notability but after watching this I realize good notes is definitely the better option for me.
