There are also reasons to use Apple Notes instead of the others: You can easily export all your pages to PDF and read through them on a PC. Google Drive or OneDrive so if you get locked out of your iCloud account somehow, you still have access to your notes Backups! All of these other apps allow you to create a backup of all your notes and store it on e.g.want to print them out, so pages don't get cut off in weird places. Some people like the ability to have pages like a typical notebook, instead of an infinite vertical scroll, or at least see where one page ends and another starts. Page templates! Want to try Cornell Notes? Multi-column? Sheet paper for music? You can do all that!.Stickers! Being able to easily save&reuse something you wrote, and/or that other people made.Nebo lets you see your handwriting recognition in real-time and makes it easy to convert to text.Notability lets you record audio while you take notes, and then you can play back audio and it 'replays' the notetaking as you go (you can disable this too).These 3rd party software have so far been much more reliable There were no internet issues or anything. Once I wrote notes for the vet on my Mac, then I go there with my cat and take out my phone and. ink feels 'sticky', like you write and then the shape changes a bit, kind of like when you write something with whipped cream on a cake, when you move the pipe up it moves the last line a bit before it tears.This one is maddening to me, I just wanna browse a bit and then continue writing, but it randomly scrolls back up to the top of the page when going back in Notes it doesn't keep your place in the page if you write a longer page.Related subredditsĪ few more reasons I didn't see mentioned yet: Thank you for reporting spam and other rule-breaking content.

When doing my research from reading physical books, can I take a photo of the page of value, highlight the key paragraph that was useful on the note taking app, and then make notes regarding this key paragraph in the app? Not necessarily 'annotating' that page beside the margins but using that paragraph as a springboard for idea generation and writing 'beside' the paragraph?.

annotating pdf lecture notes, highlighting etc.

course pdf workbooks which already come with blank editable text boxes that I fill in with handwriting instead of typing.

making summary notes from the physical text books I read.

mindmapping/brain dumping style with the space available to keep growing as my thoughts/map grows.

I'd love to know if Goodnotes OR notability OR another app can do what I'm looking for.These are the note taking styles I want to accomplish on my iPad:
