Suggest the best app for taking notes.

Please suggest the best note taking app. I have recently purchased IPAD 7th generation along with a pencil.


  1. Goodnotes
  2. Notability


Also, I would like to understand, the amount for the app is a one time cost if I am not wrong. Please help on this.


If anyone using any other app which is better than these please suggest.


Thanks in advance.

I have never like the default Apple iOS Notes apps as it has always been flaky, buggy and unreliable for long term notes storage, eben when using it with iCloud as its ONLY backup.

AND, Apple only updates this app once a year when a new iOS version is introduced

It is a very basic notes app with limited features and functionalities.


Both GoodNotes and Notability are fine notetaking apps and either one or both are very good choices for comprehensive notes apps.

I use Notability and another handwring notes app called Notes Plus and a supplemental hand writing app, by the same company, called Incredible.


Best of Luck to You!
