![]() Those are all the options you need for a decent eraser tool in a note-taking app. Auto-deselect automatically switches back to the tool you were using before the eraser. It has three fixed sizes and it can also erase the highlighter only. The eraser in GoodNotes can erase per stroke and per pixel. You can straighten it out to look neat, and we love that we can now have more colours for it on the toolbar. The highlighter goes behind your ink and it does not dim your notes when layered. Just to be clear, you won’t have any problems with handwriting your notes in GoodNotes. ![]() We would only be worried if the feature was missing in an app. In 2023, we feel handwriting experience and palm rejection are now an industry standard that we should probably stop mentioning. The settings give you a bit of control over how your pen tool writes in the app. You also get tip sharpness for your fountain pen. The GoodNotes developers should consider adding a favourites toolbar to the app at least, one that accommodates more than three pen tools.įountain and brush pens both have a pressure sensitivity option for customising them. We don’t use GoodNotes, but we find three pens to be too few even for reviews. Our pen thicknesses are still limited to three, though, which is not enough. Chances are, you won’t need that many colours to take notes, so those should be enough. The toolbar can now accommodate twelve colours. ![]() You can customise your pen tool to change its colour and thickness. I prefer the brush pen, it feels smoother than the fountain pen. GoodNotes has three types of pens: fountain, ball & brush. It’s understandable since the shop it is still fairly new. However, there is not a lot to choose from, for now. It’s a decent source of revenue and it does save us from hunting for digital stationery on Etsy. Generally, we support developers adding shops to their apps. It feels like they are following in Notability’s footsteps and we can’t help but wonder how much they’ll copy. We can now get more page templates from the GoodNotes shop. That way, I can see the contents of my notebooks right from the homepage, which makes it easier to find notes. Notebooks in GoodNotes can have covers, but I prefer not having any. At the moment, we have to import PDFs in the app so we can use our digital notebooks in the app. Page colours are still limited to three (white, yellow or dark) but that doesn’t matter because you can save custom templates to the application’s template library. We just hope in the future we’ll be able to save PDFs, like we can in Noteful, instead of just single pages. The app supports plenty of paper sizes, which can either be portrait or landscape. When creating a new notebook in GoodNotes you can customise it from a lot of page templates. We highly recommend trying them as well, before choosing an app. You can also try Noteful, Nebo and Notability as well, before purchasing a note-taking app. We are happy that users can now try the app before deciding to add it to their workflow. That’s probably enough to help you decide if you like the app enough to pay for it. GoodNotes is free to try for new users, allowing you to create up to three free notebooks. This review focuses on the iPad version of the app. The app currently has some beta versions for Android and Windows, though we are not sure when exactly they will launch. It is available on the iPad, iPhone and Mac for an in-app, one-time purchase of $7.99, for all your devices (universal purchase). ![]() GoodNotes is a handwriting note-taking app by Time Base Technology Limited. ![]()
