While the latest update introduced dark paper, it doesn’t have a real ‘dark mode’ like Notability does.

GoodNotes also offers a much wider range of paper settings, including the Cornell template*, monthly planner and music paper. For each module, I created a master folder and 3 sub-folders for lecture, readings/seminar and exam preparation. The folder system is easy to navigate, and documents are laid out as notebooks with covers. My favourite thing about GoodNotes is the display and user interface.

Notability: A Comparison Review of the Best Handwriting Notes Apps for iPad by Drew Coffman For that I recommend reading GoodNotes vs Notability written by Drew Coffman, or search for reviews of each app on YouTube. This blog post is definitely not meant to be an in depth review/comparison of the two apps. After some research ( watching YouTubers take beautiful notes) and much deliberation … I bought both. Both are amazing tools for students who want to go paperless, and each has their own pros and cons. There are many handwriting apps available on iPad, but the debate on ‘the best note-taking app’ centres around two: Notability and GoodNotes. So, when I bought an iPad using my summer job salary, I immediately wanted ditch my notebooks and pens. Throwing them away after exams was painful both emotionally and physically. During my first year at uni, I struggled to organise all of my lecture notes, handouts, flashcards and revision posters.
