GoodNotes lets you take beautiful handwritten notes and annotate PDF documents. The handwritten notes are searchable and are created using a pioneering vector ink engine. Thanks to iCloud sync, your documents in GoodNotes will synchronize between your iPad and iPhone automatically.
## Make Your Handwritten Notes Last Forever ##
GoodNotes features a state-of-the-art digital ink technology that will look great even with future super-high resolution displays.
## OCR: Search Handwritten Notes ##
Just type in the search box what you're looking for and then tap Search.
## Better Than Paper Notebooks ##
Type with the keyboard, insert images, or draw perfect shapes easily; mix between any kind of papers or even insert PDF docs inside a notebook; rearrange or delete pages as you like. It is very flexible.
## Annotate PDF Documents; Fill and Sign Forms ##
Great for saving time, paper, and the environment. Microsoft Word and PowerPoint files are supported too.
## Large Collection of Beautiful Covers and Papers ##
Each template is carefully designed in vector format. There are lined papers, graph papers, music papers, and lots of notebook covers to choose from. Add your own template with an image or a PDF file.
## GoodNotes Does Not Slow You Down ##
Thanks to the powerful zoom window feature, you can write quickly with your fingers or with a stylus in a large area, and your handwriting will be shrunk automatically.
## Just Write Them Down and Don’t Worry ##
You can correct any mistake any time and it won’t become messy. The lasso tool will let you move things around or even resize them.
## Protect Your Valuable Data ##
GoodNotes features a trash function to protect from accidental deletion. It can also backup your data to Box, Dropbox, Google Drive, or SkyDrive automatically.
## GoodNotes is Also a Digital Whiteboard ##
Your audience will not see the user interface — just the content — and you can choose which part of the page to show them. Many teachers and lecturers are already using GoodNotes to teach.

Customer Reviews
Almost Perfect!
This is a fantastic note taking app. The features I love the most are the multiple notebook functionality, the ability to search hand written notes (bonus for being able to read my hand writing), the ability to zoom out and see multiple pages, and the robust selection of paper types (such as graph papers, ruled, etc). A few features I'd love added would be the ability to see all notebooks of all categories on one page (basically a "show all" option) and more pen options. For example, the fountain pen should write more like a real fountain pen thus being more sensitive to pen position. At the moment it s more like a ball point pen. But, that is minor. With all the other options, this is a strong, easy to use note program that has improved my productivity.
Amazing.
I got this app, thinking it would have simple note-taking features. There's much more features that I pleasantly enjoy. I was initially worried about syncing and accidental deletion looking at past reviews. The automatic syncing works just fine for me, and there's manual syncing as well for safety. As for deletion, GoodNotes has its own trash folder, so documents can be easily recovered.
However, I wish there was a way to see double pages on a single view. Maybe there is a button that allows it, but I couldn't find it anywhere.
+ Is there a way that you could add a simple voice recording feature into the app? I know the recording aspect is a deal breaker to a lot of people.
Works great with Apple Pencil
I was looking for something to annotate pdfs that uses a page format rather than a scrolling format for the pdfs and this was the best reviewed of all of them. After buying it, I also discovered how great it is for taking notes and the text converter is nearly flawless even reading my loopy handwriting. Add to all of this the integration with the Apple Pencil and I finally have an app that allows me to discard notebooks. (I still love the old fashioned pen and paper but I have notebooks scattered everywhere and can never remember which one I used to write things down, not to mention the inability to search them all for a specific item.). Great great app.
