GoodNotes 5 is the perfect partner to digitize your notes. With advanced organization features, a variety of note-taking methods available, and unlimited subfolders, this app is one of the best note-taking apps for all iPad users.


With GoodNotes 5, you'll never lose your notes, as the app helps you to:

  • Search your handwritten notes, typed text, PDF text, document outlines, folder titles, and document titles.
  • Create unlimited folders and subfolders, or mark your Favorite ones to keep everything organized.
  • Create custom outlines for easier navigation through your documents.
  • Add hyperlinks to external websites, videos, and articles to build your knowledge map.
  • Back up all your notes to iCloud, Google Drive, Dropbox, and OneDrive and sync across all devices.


The app helps you to escape the limits of analog paper with its amazing tools, meaning that you'll be able to draw perfect shapes and lines with the Shape Tool; select to edit or move a specific object with the Lasso Tool; add, create, or import your stickers, pictures, tables, diagrams, and more with Elements, etc.


GoodNotes 5 also lets you share, collaborate and present your work, with an extra tool called Laser Pointer that allows you to guide your audience’s attention during your presentation.


However, users should keep in mind that the free version of the app only allows you to create 3 notebooks. To fully experience the app, you'll need to purchase the full version.
