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.
