    Updated Corrections:
    1. You are able to change the template color on GN5

      Also GN5 is now a subscription based or $30 one time app.

    This is the most comprehensive comparison imaginable. Unfortunately, it’s now obsolete! Any chance you will do a comparison of Goodnotes 6 and Notability 14?

    My man just did a more than one hour video comparing 2 notetaking apps while not even having that big of a channel. That's some dedication right there, the vid is structured and made extremely well a well. I admire ur work bro gj. Edit: Also a question, do u have some kind of screen protector used here? like paperlike for example? or like a regular screen protector?

    Absolutely loved the video! I was skeptical at first bcuz of how long this video was but man it was worth it.

    Thank you for the comprehensive breakdown! I've been switching back and forth between the two for a while as well and finally just decided to go with goodnotes b/c of their search feature. It's just too good of a godsend.

    Notability have just released a new version v14. It's excellent. Best of all for me with having the Classic version is we have been fully upgraded with the Ruler, Favourite notes, Seasons Skins, Stickers etc. But not the Math text conversion. Keep up the great work Nathan.

    • @NathanLemoine

    Good video. 👍🏻 Would definitely like to see a small updated video of the latest GN6 and N14. Wouldn’t have to be this in-depth or long but would be cool to see the latest features side by side and if they are worth it. Thanks!

  • @ashdasilva5248

    Notability just had an update which has got rid of the favourites bar and its kind of ruined my life. theres been a few other changes which are all just for aesthetics but have ruined the functionality! I'm so disappointed and now im going to have to try GN5. Thanks for the video this has helped me!

    @ran_haibara ปีที่แล้ว +15

    I badly wanted to use notability, but they lack the most simple feature I love from GN5 which is automatically straightening highlights/lines without holding it first. I read and highlight so much that I need that convenience/ease while studying.

    • @feixuzou
      @feixuzou ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I actually find the hold and straighten useful! it gives me time to read the text again

    • @ran_haibara
      @ran_haibara ปีที่แล้ว +3

      @@feixuzou you can do both hold or automatic on GN5. I just wish notability has the option to auto straighten bc if they do, I'd prob be using it more than GN5.

    Thank you an excellent video Nathan. Thank you for taking the time to explain the main differences. I am a Notability user (not subscription) as I brought many of the add on s before it went subscription. As a maths teacher I like the dashed lines on Notability and turning maths into math using the conversion tool but you do need to know some latex for post editing. Thanks.

    • @NathanLemoine
      @NathanLemoine  ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Just so you know you actually can search your writing in notability, but I’m also in the boat of being grandfathered in on notability, personally I prefer it but if I wasn’t grandfathered in I would absolutely choose goodnotes. Really good video thanks for taking the time for such an in-depth informative comparison:)

    Hello brother, please note that, we have also such function in Notability in both ways. You can search text as well as handwritings. You can use it with two way. First: you can use it through dashboard. Second: you can use it through document bar.

    • @NathanLemoine
      @NathanLemoine  ปีที่แล้ว +3

      If you can afford it, I do recommend an iPad even for highschool! And you don’t need to get the Pro or even an Air. The base 9th Gen iPad is perfect for note taking and any other school needs. The other iPads just give you extra features that are nice but not necessary!

    You make the point that Notability has helped you succeed with your university studies. Therefore, I would consider the $14.99 yearly subscription charge a worthwhile investment if it means graduating successfully and going on to a high paying career. After all, we are only talking the cost of a few coffees per year.
