Our take

Goodnotes is a digital note taking tool for handwritten notes and (formerly) paper-based information. The app delivers a precise and natural writing experience thanks to its signature vector ink engine. It can read handwriting and allows users to search it, as well as converting it to text for easy sharing into other apps or even web pages. Goodnotes also supports importing, searching and navigation through PDF, PowerPoint, Word, image files and more.

The platform is available across iPhone, iPad and Mac. One of the leading note-taking solutions on the App Store (with over 14,000 positive reviews) it competes with apps like Notability and Paper by WeTransfer. Founded in Hong Kong, Goodnotes is currently setting up a team in the UK to build products on top of their core app.
