Ability to do split screen between notes (although it’s a little bit more cumbersome with Notability compared to GoodNotes). Pros for both: Can add image/screenshots into the note you’re writing.
#GOODNOTES 5 VS NOTABILITY UPDATE#
And while Notability backs up my notes better than GoodNotes, it doesn’t really update the backup file even though I added a few notes on the file. The favorite toolbar isn’t out yet, so it’s a con that you have to keep switching colors while highlingting. The layout for notes aren’t as robust as GoodNotes.
#GOODNOTES 5 VS NOTABILITY PDF#
The biggest con IMO is the fact when you import a PDF textbook, it doesn’t save the table of contents, so if you have a PDF copy of Harrison’s Internal Medicine for example, good luck bookmarking every single chapter/subchapter. I’ve seen in a subreddit post that they’re beta testing the ability to add your favorite pens/highlighters/erasers in a toolbar, so that’s cool.Ĭons: The fact you have to pay additional just to get the ability to search your handwritting is kinda steep (You pay an additional Php 150). The ability to record a lecture, and have it play it back to you while you were taking down notes is useful. I don’t have to write on the PDF in random spaces anymore, I can just write it on a sticky note, then move it around when I need to see what’s beneath the sticky note. The ability to add sticky notes is a feature I didn’t know I needed until I got this app. I didn’t experience the same problem I experienced with GoodNotes, even though they’re the same file. I haven’t had any problems with this app crashing or anything that would drive me insane. First thing I noticed is that the UI of the app is a lot simpler compared to GoodNotes (it looks clean IMO). Notability: So I decided to bite the bullet and pay Php 445 for this app, because it was driving me insane that 2 of my PDFs I need to highlight while reviewing had uneven shades of the same color. While I appreciate that it tries to back up my notes every time I update it, it doesn’t sync all of them. Another con is that it doesn’t back up all of my notes to the cloud (I sync mine to GDrive because I can’t afford iCloud). I thought it was just the PDF file, so I tried it with Adobe (because at this point I have yet to try notability), but it looked fine. I noticed a bug that highlighting one page would appear lighter compared to the previous page, which drove me mad because they’re the same color but it looks so different depending on the page. When I first bought the app, it would usually crash when I reach like 30% battery life, but it got fixed in an update and I was sailing smoothly, up until the start of July.
Less complicated implementation of side by side notes.Ĭons: Stability issues. The price (which is like Php 150 cheaper than Notability). The ability to search your handwritting (if legible enough). The ability to have your 3 favorite colors for pen/highlighter readily available. More freedom with the style of notebook you can work on. The ability to select URLs or hyperlinks in the PDF and copy it. Pros: Importing a textbook PDF would automatically sync the table of contents, so you don’t have to worry that you have to manually bookmark every chapter. My friend was also using this app so I got to try it and it was really great. GoodNotes 5: So this was the app I first purchased after realizing that the default notes app isn’t really the way to go in writing notes, especially review notes. So I’ve been blessed enough to be able to afford both apps, both have their own pros and cons, and I’m here to tell you all about it (because PLE is just around the corner and I’m losing my mind so I decided to write this). TL DR: GoodNotes 5- better value for money.
