Ratings and Reviews
Editors’ Choice
Goodnotes is a digital notepad and PDF markup tool. And it’s very good at both. As a notepad, Goodnotes covers all the bases. Create notes with your keyboard or handwrite them with Apple Pencil. The app transforms your hand-drawn shapes into geometrically perfect ones. It’s also capable of recognizing your handwriting (even when you can’t) and converting it to text.
A bit of kinks here and there but overall a good study app!
I love this app, it helps me to study! But, there are some things i'd like to see improved on it. I found that while working on some notes i'd get to the bottom of the page and when it would tell me to make a new page I would add one. However, there would be times when I'd add a new page in between already made notes (if by accident or just because i'd think i'd need the extra page), that when i'd delete the page (even if im currently selected on it), it would instead delete the ones with the already completed page of notes and I can't recover the page anymore, so i'd have to retype everything. There would also be times when the computer would add in already typed out words when it's trying to actively predict your word (e.g. I would type the word "paragraph" and while i'm typing out "paragr-" it would type out "paragrparagraph" or double the word "paragraph paragraph." I also noticed on the flashcards that you can only choose between text,picture, or written/drawing. sometimes my professor would have the pictures that are too big to capture with both the picture and questions in them. When trying to put pictures into the study cards I was disappointed knowing I can't really add in a text with the pictures that doesn't have questions such as putting "Find the amygdala in the picture". Aside from these hiccups that needs to be improved on, I think this app is a very good app.
This is an excellent app! I only have one pet peeve…
Honestly, I really love using this app! It is very well thought out and I can use it for many different kinds of workflows. Great app if you are considering starting/ transitioning to digital note-taking/ journaling. I enjoy taking handwritten notes in it with my apple pencil and being able to easily import pdfs that I can mark up is great. I enjoy the elements feature, which allows me to add custom sticker that I use all the time as post-its or stickers for journaling. Plus there are som many other excellent features, such as being able to search in your hand written notes and the ability to back-up your notebooks, to name a few.
I only have one pet peeve when it comes to this app. It does have a typing feature, but it’s a bit clunky and not very intuitive. When I am doing journaling, it is very nice to put text exactly where I want it, so I don’t want the feature to go away. But having to use the text boxes for more type-intensive tasks can be a bit annoying at times. I would be nice if there was a feature you could enable within the notebook where if you could type in a notebook like a normal word document. My work around is typing something ahead of time in a word document and then importing it into the app, but honestly, it would be nice if I didn’t have to do that (maybe I am being too picky)… Otherwise, this a really excellent, solid app that I recommend highly to folks for note-taking.
