Most detailed comparison between this two note-taking apps on TH-cam.
Reasons I will keep using Notability for now:
1. I like the square lasso tool which makes copying things like equations easier for me.
2. I would like to be able to copy handwritings from one page to another page because my work involves doing calculations which have some of the things in common with themselves. Being able to copy things to the next page is a must.
3. Audio recording was great a few years ago. Now Notability came with transcription which is like a heaven for people like me who likes to go back to the lectures of their favorite teachers and learn what I missed before.
4. The smaller file size of the notes. In this day and age, we all have to pay for cloud services. Small note sizes matter a lot when you keep taking notes for a living.
5. Skipping to the places I took notes on in a research paper is a must for me.
6. I don't like AI features at all in my notetaking.
I will keep adding more. But these are important for me.
Those are very excellent points for Notability. And if I were to choose one app, it would be Notability for the same reasons 😃
@@PaperlessX That contradicts your 'verdict' in the video in which you chose Goodnotes (?)
@@clarity7531 The creator made the video objectively, which means that it excludes the creator’s own biases. This allows for viewers to effectively weigh out the two apps and determine which one is the best FOR THEM. In conclusion, it all boils down to preference. Although the verdict in the video shows that Goodnotes is a little bit better, some people would still prefer Notability, while some would prefer Goodnotes. Personally, I have both. ^^
Very good observations, I will stick with Notability too. Also you forgot to mention GIF files that are not supported yet in Goodnotes which are very important for me.
@@clarity7531 Lol.
Most detailed video ,Thanks for sharing this. Going with goodnotes 6❤
Excellent comparison!!! You saved me alot of time. Thank you!!!
Glad it was helpful!
Omgsh about time ❤
After watching your review across various note-taking criteria… I would still say that my vote goes to Notability. There’s a certain minimalism and classy-ness to that app which Goodnotes doesn’t give me.
I have an 11 inch ipad air, and the thick blue ribbon on top (or bottom) really eats away at the screen space. I need the edge space for my planners and notebooks.
Also, it’s much easier to navigate through pop-down notes/subjects/divider in Notability than it is to have multiple folder in folder in folder and so on, as Goodnotes does.
Notability’s templates and community space is much more value for money than goodnotes templates library (pretty much everything is paid)
I would give a point to Goodnotes for enabling in-built sticker books, which is a con for notability.
Notability’s small file sizes have barely put a dent in my one-drive storage and it’s been 6 months of regular use. I’m guessing because the file sizes are smaller, the apps runs more smoothly and writing functions seem more fluid in Notability, as opposed to the slightly heavy and clunky vibe of goodnotes.
FINALLY!!! I’ve (WE’VE) missed you!!!!!!!
Hey, Tom! We've also missed you! You have been MIA for longer than us. How are you?
@@PaperlessX aging gracelessly my dear!!! I’m a miserable Chicago Bears fan and Bah Humbug Season is nigh!
I wish you and yours (Uncle Dan!) a Blessed Christmas and a splendid 2024.
@@tomhansen7897 Awww, get well soon. And have a Blessed Christmas and a Fantastic 2024! 🎄
PS: Hope your team (Chicago Bears) wins the season!
The only two reasons I am studying with nota is because of the recording and the gif, I am waiting for Goodnotes to have it
I only trust her reviews awesome 👏🏾
Hey Paperless, nice vid as always!!
Could you help me with this one? What is the best way to acess your Notability/Goodnotes files from your ipad on your Mac and Windows desktop?
If you create a shortcut you can access it more quickly
On Mac, you can download the Mac versions of the app. On Windows, you can access GoodNotes in their Windows app. Notability has an option to share links that you can access on the web browser.
Thank you
Notability provides nice calendars for free, and lots of free templates/planners in the gallery from community members, while everything in Goodnotes shop is charged. Why is that?
Can either app be used kind of like liquidtext or margin note ie to read and take notes and mark up documents?
Yes they can. But they can’t link your notes to the PDF like those two.
Great Ropsie
you can open a quick note in goodnotes by double tapping the new... button then before going back to the menu or closing the document, it will prompt you to change the title or delete the quicknote
4:37 you can even see it on the option as a tip "Double tap '+" to create a Quicknote"
Awesome! Thank you!
There’s a single one reason why I stick to notability: shapes snap to the template.
When you have to draw diagrams, that single snaping feature is amazingly useful to me.
If I had to add something else is the fact that notability has widgets now.
I like goodnotes, specially now that you can move things from page to page.
But that snaping feature to me makes the experience better in notability.
Yeah, the snapping feature is one of a kind!
The link function from GoodNotes is just perfect. But I don‘t like GoodNotes for several reasons. Is there another Note taking App with this functionality? Use Notability . Perfect for me. Only the link functionality is missing :-(
Excellent documentation of both apps. I chose Notability because I felt it had a better handwriting recognition. I am curious to know what your opinion of the best handwriting to text note taking app available to use today. I feel there must be something better than either of these.
Indeed there is! Nebo is the best handwriting-converting app that our team uses whenever we need to that feature. Their technology powers the features in both Notability and GoodNotes.
@3:00 how did you access the quick page template icons?
They just appear when you create new notebooks.
Muchas gracias por el video tan detallado muy largo pero lo vi completo y era lo que necesitaba, creo q me decido por Notability porque para mi es muy importante el poder llevarme la seleccion de el lazo a otras paginas, me parece super util la opción de ocultar información con la cinta adhesiva, los sticker son muchos más y son mas bonitos, tiene mas plantillas gratis y variadas que en goodnotes y m gusta q puedo mover la barra de tareas flotante a donde yo decida. Por ultimo la interfaz me parece mas agradable... Gracias en verdad!!
You're welcome!!
Hi I am willing to choose an app mainly to study on pdfs, so I mostly use the highlighter, pen, rubber tools, text boxes etc. I am very confused about choosing between this apps. Which app do you recommend me? I personally don’t care about the price that much, I would like a suggestion based on the app you think is better and laggs the least (mainly because I find it annoying when the highlighting/writing process is not fluid), also the app which takes less space on my iPad after months of usage. Thank you in advance❤
That would be Notability. But, Notability 14 has been buggier than usual. Just be aware of that, I guess.
Thank you for your video. I have the premium version of CollaNote; but I can not get it to record say a zoom meeting. The mic turns orange as though it’s recording, but when I try to go back to listen it tells me volume has been turned off (but it’s not showing off in settings, How do I get it to record?
The audio recording tool doesn't work when you're in a zoom meeting in any note-taking app.
@@PaperlessX Thank you so much.
The biggest advantage of Notability vs GoodNotes is that the Handwritten to Text conversion is way more accurate (at least for my illegible handwriting) !
I’m I currently have the several apps that I’ve explored down to two and that is Notability or Noteful I’m having a tough time choosing between the two I understand Notability has the subscription cost but at the same time boy is it simple and easy to use in the writing experiences. Great Noteful writing experiences great as well, but I’m just not sure…
Yeah, it can be difficult to choose, but with the right pen settings, we have managed to get much better handwriting experience in Noteful than Notability. Perhaps this video might help: th-cam.com/video/kJZPUVLWZVU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=uktLrvpVG9T4KqJW
Why the change in opinion? The previous video you made did not support goodnotes, so I'd like to know what made you change your mind and support the update? I am just wondering because I am considering the update but wonder if notablility would be better.
It's not a change, just different scenarios. Alone, the Goodnotes 6 update is terrible. But comparing Notability to Goodnotes; Goodnotes is the better app of the two. But we don't use either app, so we still think they are terrible for personal use. We use Noteful. Hopefully, that makes sense. We try to evaluate apps independently, and in comparison with others. But, at the end of the day, the best apps, in our opinion, are the ones we're using at that time.
Best is circumstantial though.
To 47:38 min: GN6 can move items via the lasso tool across pages, but only on the vertikal view. :)
Ah, yeah, I remember when they released that update. Thanks for that!
For mathematics and physics Notability's more detailed tools and better scientific equations recognition made the day for me....
Please make video on liquid text
It's on our to-do list. :)
Hi Please make video on Noteful.
Noted! We have it on our calendar
Compared to Notability, Goodnotes doesn't start lagging when scrolling through larger pdf files. Also notability has this god awful floating toolbar all the time, which I really hate. Goodnotes 6 has won me over after trying a bunch of those kind of apps.
It lags on my ipad,
Greeting from brazil. To my eye, noteful is a mix of both and brtter than both. Not to mention the price and no subscription needed.
Agreed! How's Brazil?
Its good, but so hot (we are in summer). I would like you to know that i found out an incredible app called prodrafts. Despite the fact of some missing features, it has great ones like tape, stickers, pencil like notability, calculator, ... and for my surprise infinite canvas and infinite vertical paper. Please do a review of this one. Have a good night and nice new year.
The UI is much better in Notability... also I think the app runs smoothly... Sometimes, Goodnotes takes too long to render a note if its full of content. But anyway... Notability is a little bit glitchy since the last update :/
Love GoodNotes the most.
Brother how much ur ipad stay long in charge?
Depends on the usage, anything from 5 to 10 hours. But there was a time when iPadOS 17 drastically removed that time.
@@PaperlessX okay thanks
The awanser is simple, none of them. Take ZoomNotes instead.
Away more advanced with alot of more options.
I feel like Goodnotes eats the battery super fast has someone checked which one is more power consuming?
Most people have complained about Goodnotes draining battery power. No complaints with Notability, though.

Yes I need spell check
😃, nice!
GoodNotes for Windows is rubbish so far, and not really compatible with the Apple version.
Chances are, all their other versions would be terrible. That's why we haven't bothered with them. Goodnotes is an iPad-first app, all its other versions might need years to catch up
This girl clearly collecting goodnote checks on the low.
Not mad at ya, get your money 💴
Goodnotes or Notability don’t sponsor this channel. At least Notability gave us free access to their app, which Goodnotes refused to do. It doesn’t not change our objective evaluation, though. Our team hates Goodnotes (the company/developer) but we can separate our personal emotions from our evaluations.
We care that you get an unbiased evaluation of productivity apps so you can make an informed decision. We are dedicated to helping you ease your digital transformation (sponsored or not).
I don’t deduce that at all. Thanks for the great review!
