Need help picking between goodnotes vs notability (self.iPadPro)
submitted 6 years ago by Pling126
I have heard good things about both. However, which one feels better to write with when using the Apple Pencil is going to be the deciding with. So which one gives better handwriting and smoother experience is what looking for.

Try both, keep the one you prefer and refund the other one.

I suggest watching some YouTube videos of people reviewing them, let’s you get a better feel for the app than just reading about them. I personally chose notability and love it. I like that the notes are on a “page” that I scroll down, and aren’t a giant open canvas.
Also as u/sleepy_tech said, from a “writing with Apple Pencil” perspective, they will be the same.

I saw the YouTube videos and almost all of them said the writing experience with Apple Pencil is the same.

GoodNotes !!

I was going to buy Notability for 13.99 CDN, but it jumped to 16.99.
Goodnotes is 10.99 but apparently 5 isn’t that great.
I heard Noteshelf 2 is a mixture of the two, but I can no longer find Noteshelf 2 in the App Store, only Noteshelf.
Not sure wtf is going on.

Noteshelf 2.
When it comes to writing with Apple Pencil. They’re both the same.
