1/1/2024 0 Comments Good note vs notability![]() Despite this being a significant issue, it’s clearly not significant enough to push me towards GoodNotes… Which says something in and of itself…įinally, as good as the hand writing recognition of GoodNotes apparently is, it’s (last I checked) unaccommodating of my style of handwriting - which sees All Caps, albeit with the first letter being “bigger” than the rest. Over the years, I have had repeated issues with multiple versions of files having to be downloaded again from iCloud… Some of my files are now named “conflict 3” or some such - and I have possibly lost some over the years. Noteshelf claims that the experience with the app is just like writing on a notepad smooth and fluid. With Noteshelf, your notes can consist of your handwriting, as well as PDF annotation, and even recorded audio. This has possibly allowed me to overlook the single biggest complaint I have regarding Notability: its sync functionality. Noteshelf is an excellent alternative to GoodNotes and Notability, making it one of the best note apps for Apple Pencil and iPad. That said, over the past two years, the bulk of my meetings have been in MS Teams - which has seen me use less of Notability than in the past. I think it partially has to do with the UI of the sidebar, and manner of arranging one’s notes/folders, which I always found more visually appealing in Notability. Whilst I cannot put my finger on it, GoodNotes just never clicked with me. GoodNotes is better than Notability in this regard, but there are still a lot of flaws. I used to try to keep everything organized in this app but ultimately, it was more useful for me to convert to typed text and store elsewhere. Nebo is even better in that regard, but comes at the expense of a more restrictive workflow which defeats the purpose of writing by hand. The font size can also be changed according to our own choice. ![]() The paper layout and templates of the notebooks can be changed or customized at will, unlike other tools that don’t allow any such thing. Overall, I went with GoodNotes because of the handwritten text features. The handwriting recognition of GoodNotes can be considered seamless in comparison to Notability. Better UX for converting handwritten text.Better inking (but not that much better, shouldn’t be the deal breaker).Notes in GoodNotes, when opened in landscape mode, are always zoomed to fit the height, not the width.Notes automatically resize to fit the width of the screen you’re on.On the Mac, better app performance (with the new Catalyst version only) To add a sound recording to your note, tap the Record button (the microphone icon) at the upper left of the screen then begin speaking or playing the audio.On the Mac, better lasso tool for selecting text.
