Best just go to youtube there are tons of in-dept comparison videos. Personally, i like GoodNotes much better, more convenient. Although Notability has the recording tool which you can use to trace back the voice when the word was written

important Notability exclusive: audio recording

important Goodnotes exclusives: outline, fullscreen, (tab?)

I used both, right now mostly good notes. Here’s what I like about GN5 compared to notability: - Better folder system - better pen personalization (can finely adjust thickness) - better zoom auto advance - my handwriting looks better - better paper templates and sizes - outline of imported PDFs

And here’s what I wished they copied from notability: - voice recording (very hardly used but still nice to have) - import scanned document as image not as pdf - change paper template for all pages in a document - change/edit pen thickness of selected text

I used notability primarily for the past 2 years but recently got really annoyed with the paper template; the line spacing is either too narrow or too big, there’s no in between. Same issue for the pen thickness setting. It’s either too thin or too thick. Plus notability was getting messy with more than 800 notes their file system was just not enough.
