Our take
Goodnotes is a digital note-taking tool for handwritten notes and (formerly) paper-based information. Thanks to its signature vector ink engine, the app delivers a precise and natural writing experience. It can read handwriting and allow users to search it, as well as convert 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 now operates across the UK with over 80 employees, working on building additional products alongside its core app.
