You can draw regular and irregular shapes, as well as curves and arrows, in GoodNotes. We are still waiting for a percentage display of our zoom levels when zooming directly on the page. The zoom tool in the app is basic, but it works. You can always manually adjust it if you like. A margin marks the starting point for your zoom window to advance to when moving to a new line. The app supports auto-advance, and we can’t control how accurately it moves to new lines. The zoom tool zooms sections of your page, though we feel zooming directly on the page is faster. Those are all the options you need for a decent eraser tool in a note-taking app. Auto-deselect automatically switches back to the tool you were using before the eraser. It has three fixed sizes, and it can also erase the highlighter only. The eraser in GoodNotes can erase per stroke and per pixel. You can straighten it out to look neat, and we love that we can now have more colours for it on the toolbar. The highlighter goes behind your ink, and it does not dim your notes when layered. It’s annoying and gives an overall unpleasant user experience in the app. Unlike before, we often have to rewrite a word because the app just deleted it. The only problem, though, is that the app keeps deleting some words that we write. It’s more pleasant to write in GoodNotes 6. It feels like the developers have dramatically improved the handwriting experience in the app. Somehow, writing in GoodNotes 6 seems the best it has ever been in the app (for all three pen tools). Tip sharpness for the fountain pen makes it more rounded or sharp. We’re not sure if this is a bug or if it’s affecting all the users. In GoodNotes 6, both the minimum and maximum pressure sensitivity options seem to have the same effect on the pen tools. The pressure sensitivity for fountain and brush pens is not as effective as it used to be. GoodNotes 6 still doesn’t have a favourites toolbar it’s shocking. We couldn’t be happier, especially because we now have a colour picker too. Though we are still limited to only three pen thicknesses on the toolbar, we can now accommodate twelve colours. You can customise your pen colour and thickness. GoodNotes has three types of pens: fountain, ballpoint, and brush. Hunting for digital stationery on Etsy while using a one-time purchase app feels like a smart choice to opt for. Unlike Notability, though, GoodNotes 6 hasn’t made its marketplace items free for subscription users. We also wondered how much they will copy, and they too went subscription with GoodNotes 6. When we first saw this, we thought GoodNotes was following in Notability’s footsteps, and they were. We can now get more page templates from the marketplace in the app. For page covers, though, it makes sense that they are not centralised because each cover is unique. Once they become more centralised, they’ll be more fun to use. The fun part about the colour options for both covers and page templates in GoodNotes 6 is that we can customise them. But the new page cover colour options have me feeling like I am missing out on something. I prefer not having covers for my notebooks, so I can preview their contents from the homepage. The developers should find a way to centralise these page and line colours for a better user experience. We are still hoping to save complete PDFs as page templates in GoodNotes because we are tired of importing our digital notebooks each time we want to use them in the app. The only problem is that you have to do that for each template in the app, which is simply too much for a digital workflow. You can now choose a background and line colour for your paper templates. Page colours are no longer limited to three. These can either be portrait or landscape. The app supports plenty of paper sizes, even custom ones. When creating a new notebook in GoodNotes 6, you have a lot of page templates to choose from. Samsung Notes: free (Samsung devices only).Nebo: $8.99 (Editor’s choice for handwriting-to-text conversion).At that price, there are plenty of cheaper alternatives on the market that you might want to consider. That’s probably enough to help you decide if you like the app enough to pay for it. GoodNotes 6 is free to try for new users, allowing you to create and edit up to three free notebooks. This review focuses on the iPad version of the app. You also get the option to pay a yearly subscription of $10 if you need to use it on Android and Windows. Since the GoodNotes 6 update, the app’s price has skyrocketed to $29.99, for all your devices (universal purchase). It is available on the iPad, iPhone, and Mac. GoodNotes 6 is a handwriting note-taking app by Time Base Technology Limited.
