Notability also has a ruler tool, which we’re still trying to learn to appreciate. They are also helpful for drawing shapes. The app’s pink guidelines make it easier to rearrange different items on the page.
The app lets you adjust your shape borders and can snap them into the grids on your basic templates. Notability has a slight edge over GoodNotes. In the end, it comes down to personal preference both are useful in different situations. When your shape is finished, GoodNotes treats it as a single stroke, but Notability continues to recognise the individual strokes. No matter which app you use, snapping shape strokes is a breeze. The auto-fill opacity is fixed in both apps and cannot be changed. However, in GoodNotes, the fill and border of circular shapes use the same colour. Both apps can auto-fill your shapes with colours that are different from their borders. It’s possible to make adjustments to these (in either app) after you’ve drawn them. Notability and GoodNotes can both draw regular and irregular shapes, arrows, and curved lines. In Notability, you can save your scans as images or PDFs, but only as PDFs in GoodNotes. To import scanned documents into your notes, you can use either app. Both are compatible with the iPadOS scanning technology. Whether you like the zoom tool to improve your handwriting or add more information to a “full page,” both apps have you covered. With the addition of a percentage zoom display, zooming in both apps will be much better. In spite of their differences, they share an essential feature: auto-advance. The zoom tool is very popular amongst digital note-takers, and both of these apps have it. But do we really need so many different sized erasers? When you’re done using the eraser in GoodNotes, it will be automatically deselected Notability doesn’t have this feature. While GoodNotes only offers three different sizes, Notability has twelve. Their erasers are pixel- and stroke-specific and can erase the highlighter only (if you want). The highlighter in both apps goes behind your ink and has personalisation options similar to those of the pen tools. Both apps provide a satisfying writing experience with reliable palm rejection. Notability has a slight edge with its colour picker, but it’s probably not enough to choose it over GoodNotes. Both apps also allow you to select unique pen colours by entering a hex code. GoodNotes’s pen measurement in millimetres and Notability’s set pen sizes are equally functional. I can honestly say that I have never put them to any use. Taking notes with them is not very practical, though. For drawing shapes and diagrams, you can use Notability’s dashed and dotted pens. As opposed to fountain pens in general, we personally love the GoodNotes brush pen. Both apps have fountain and ballpoint pens. Though the apps take different approaches to personalise their pen tools, they both provide a superb user experience. Take us, for example, we prefer using our digital notebooks. The important thing is that you can use the exact template you want (in both apps). More templates are, therefore, not necessarily an advantage as you might not even use them.
But it doesn’t matter because both apps allow users to import their own templates. At first glance, it may appear that Notability has a larger collection of page templates. Both apps have a respectable number of available page sizes and orientations (portrait and landscape). With Notability’s updated page templates, it’s tough to say which app does page customisation better. If you are in the Apple ecosystem, you can use either app to sync your documents and continue working on them from any device. We can’t wait to see which app makes it to other operating systems first.
GOODNOTES RULER TOOL ANDROID
Unfortunately, it doesn’t appear there are any plans to develop Windows or Android versions of either app at this time. Notability and GoodNotes are available on the iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
