Compared to the typical A4 paper size that we usually use, the biggest page you can create in Goodnotes is practically an infinite canvas. Goodnotes also has a wider range of page sizes, and you can even create custom page sizes that can be as big as 5000 x 5000 points. In Goodnotes, if, like me, you don’t like covers, you can simply not use them. For a minimalist, that is nothing to lose sleep over. It means one less feature to worry about. Notability, on the other hand, does not have covers. The non-centralised colour options make more sense for covers than they do for page templates. They have colour options in Goodnotes 6, which is a bit of fun. Goodnotes has covers for your notebooks that look pretty on the homepage. When you need a bit more control over your line-spacing options, you’re better off with Notability. The app limits you to narrow and wide line options, which isn’t much. Goodnotes also doesn’t have a wide range of line-spacing options. Your page template options are not centralised, like they are in Notability. The only downside to this setup is that Goodnotes 6 does this for each template in the app. You can name your customisations, which can help with organising them. The app not only has colours but line colours as well. When you have a bit of time on your hands, the app has a lot of customisation for your page templates. In Goodnotes, quick notes are a two-step process, which is not bad when you have nothing to compare it to. When you’re in a hurry, you can create a quick notebook with just a single tap. The page sizes for your notebooks in Notability are fixed, though their range is quite decent. They also have custom page colours, so they can be any colour you like. For your basic templates, the app has great line-spacing options that you won’t find in most handwriting note-taking apps. Notability has a larger collection of page templates because of its gallery, which gives you access to hundreds of free page templates. Notability 14 ruined the user experience for creating new notes in the app, with the quick page template changing options at the bottom of the screen and the notebook titles we need to look for. That has been the case with almost every productivity app we have tried, so we have no reason to believe Goodnotes 6 is any different. We’re still to try Goodnotes 6 on other platforms, but from our experience, other platforms usually have versions that are inferior to the one on the iPad. Goodnotes is also available on Windows and Android, and it has a web app that you can access online in any web browser. Goodnotes and Notability are both available on the iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
