My favourite feature was the ability to use a stylus pen to fill out documents with handwritten signatures, and be able to export and email your documents easily. Personally I used this program on a ipad 8th gen and it worked seamlessly. People in sales roles could find this application useful for digital note keeping. > > **Cons**: I didnt find a whole lot wrong with Goodnotes, the only complaint being very minor, was manually attempting to blow up small print to get a signature on a contract line was a bit tough to do for inexperienced users, aside from that, not much wrong at all\! > > Positive and a good solution to faxing, scanning documents or needing a pdf program to signing any documents that get digitally returned. I liked the ability to change colours on ink, and the customization of pen type for different spacings, ----- ### "Goodnotes is the best\!\!" — 5.0/5 > **Mikaela** | *April 18, 2025* | Consumer Goods | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I LOVE using Goodnotes\!\! I use it daily for note writing and planning\! It has amazing features\!\! > > **Cons**: I wish Goodnotes had better free options for planner downloads, but other than that I’ve had no issues actually using Goodnotes\! > > I love love love Goodnotes\!\! It is perfect for note writing and digital planning\!\! ----- ### "Good notes is great for students" — 5.0/5 > **Purva** | *March 16, 2025* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Good notes is so simple to use\! I use it every day for school and it is easy to upload lectures. > > **Cons**: nothing\! I have no concerns with the application. > > My experience with goodnotes has been great\! I recently found out about the application online and have been using it as a university student. ----- ### "Versatile Professional Tool" — 4.0/5 > **Alyssa** | *October 27, 2025* | Mental Health Care | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I enjoyed the ease of use and implementation while taking client notes during sessions. 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** | *December 27, 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. ----- Page: 1 / 4\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ca/software/1016381/goodnotes?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ca/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
