About Goodnotes
Handwritten notes and searchable text shouldn't have to be a choice, and Goodnotes is basically built to give you both. You can write with an Apple Pencil, type up your slides, annotate PDFs, and pull all of it back up with a quick search when finals season hits. Your Goodnotes student discount makes it a lot easier to justify upgrading your note-taking setup before the semester gets busy.
Why we love Goodnotes
Hannah Parsons
Head of Product Marketing
Goodnotes turns an iPad into something that actually replaces a stack of notebooks, rather than just adding another screen to your day. Everything you write down stays searchable, so digging through three months of lecture notes for one formula doesn't turn into a whole afternoon. It's one of those apps that quietly earns its place on your home screen.

Honestly, I really love using this app! It is very well thought out and I can use it for many different kinds of workflows. Great app if you are considering starting/ transitioning to digital note-taking/ journaling.

I’m very finicky when it comes to note taking apps; if even one feature I feel I need is missing I try to find a different one that better encompasses my needs. For several years, GoodNotes has been the strongest contender by a large marking!

I love this app so much. I don’t do reviews but this app definitely deserve it. I am in nursing school and this app makes my life so much easier from taking notes to uploading them, PowerPoint into pdf that I can take notes on, to saving files and having different files for different classes all condensed into one file….is just so amazing.

This is the best notetaking app ever. I'm an AP and Honors student in highschool, and I live for this app. Since doing online school this year due to the pandemic, it has changed how I take notes and turned in assignment.
