The ability to create separate notebooks for different aspects was critical for organization. As a professional, GoodNotes exhibited great versatility during meetings as well. > > **Cons**: Difficulty in transcribing from script to typed notes. Additionally, as a beginner, the learning curve for accessing different features was more challenging than expected. > > Despite the general learning curve, GoodNotes has proven itself to be a useful and versatile tool for professionals who require some way to keep notes and documents digitally organized. ----- ### "Goodnotes- very effective" — 5.0/5 > **Lauren** | *27 December 2024* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ability to synch among devices, custom imports of stickers/files, custom colors, folders to organize documents. Great for note taking/organizing. > > **Cons**: I would like to have a layering tool for stickers/drawings to format pictures or stickers behind text. I would like to have improvements in speed of syncing or ability to manually sync when devices are updated yet still are not recognizing each other. I would like to organize folder colors, as in google drive, for better organizing. > > I am satisfied with goodnotes. I feel it helps me organize what I need, especially between many devices. Most importantly, I wish that manual sync or sync options are available, as it is slow among devices or is not triggered when the app is opened, despite apps being updated on all devices. ----- ### "GOOD NOTES\!" — 5.0/5 > **Kat** | *24 April 2026* | Higher Education | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Good notes is super easy to use, I love that you can make folders for different subjects as well as being able to organize and collaborate on notes if needed\! > > **Cons**: I wish there were more free options like how much you are able to write but other than that no complaints about Goodnotes ----- ### "So-so experience" — 3.0/5 > **Freyxa** | *2 June 2025* | Mental Health Care | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: Excellent for stylus users, especially on tablets and it’s really useful for Mark now training contact or even for a students > > **Cons**: No idea for sharing or collaborating on materials across ATM, is not built in with task tracking or content, distribution tools > > Is excellent for people who prefer handwritten notes and to plan on, however, each platform specific for Apple in black collaborative and centralized features needed in any professional environment. For android is not that efficient. ----- ### "Great App for Handwritten Notes on iPad" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *20 January 2026* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Goodnotes allows you to write on any PDF document on an iPad. It is a great patient charting tool that allows you to take notes like traditional paper and pen without the bulk of physical papers. It allows me to customize any PDF documents of my choosing. I can also create templates that can be uploaded with ease. > > **Cons**: Every now and then the app will crash on me. This is not that big of an issue since the documents or my work does not get lost. The app just needs to restart and I’m right back to where I was. There is some learning curve to using the app. Some of the functions take some time getting used to. > > Overall my experience with Goodnotes have been exceptional. I have been using it to document patient charts since I started working as a chiropractor in 2019. ----- Page: 1 / 4\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.nz/software/1016381/goodnotes?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.nz/software/1016381/goodnotes) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
