"Great Tool for iPad"

What do you like best about GoodNotes? I like that I can import and store files and documents. But I like that I can directly write on the document I have uploaded or create a notebook with different templates to fit my specific needs.

"the best note taking app for all devices"

What do you like best about GoodNotes? you can easily make folders for each of your projects, and you can have various media in each folder. I can add an image and add notes over the image, or sketch on top of the image to show a client something, I can use the notebook with our company letterhead to take detailed notes, etc. It is the most versatile note taking app!

"Doctoral Student's Dream App"

What do you like best about GoodNotes? There are different note templates available which I tend to change based on the class I'm taking. When I was in a statistics course, the grid paper came in hand. When I was in a basic read the text and take notes kind of course, the lined paper or even blank paper worked great!

"I use GoodNotes every day!"

What do you like best about GoodNotes? I really like that I can set-up various "notebooks" and I can easily move between them. For example, I have my daily morning journal, my notes related to a course I'm taking, and notes I've jotted during a client call. I don't have to carry or go looking for actual books or slips of paper. They are always with me!

"Great app!"

What do you like best about GoodNotes? What I love the best is that it can convert handwriting to text! You can create your presentations as you go...easy to import images and clipart, drag and drop, annotate in PDF and create hyperlinks, customize text, and share. Very convenient for a busy life.
