Hi, I have been reading that the most of the screen protectors screw the Apple pencil tip forcing you to buy new ones frequently. Is it the same with this Paperlike? Thanks!
@@darth9306 yeah it’s quite bad not as protective not scratch resistant isn’t very transparent only good thing is that it seems like paper and can be taken away easily
@@TheGreatAquiles I've been using a screen protector for the last couple of days (not long obviously) and it is so much better than writing on the glass. It is not the "Paperlike" brand. It's just a well reviewed similar product off Amazon. You can get four tips for $9 so for me, even if it does wear down the tip after 6 months or so, it's worth the $2.25 to replace the tip. The writing experience is that much better.
I used OneNote throughout my MBA. It has both audio and video recording - at least in the PC version. I recorded video and took notes... it captured the slide deck and the interaction in the class. There is also the ability to add sections and section groups within a notebook.
I have just bought an iPad Air and was searching for a good note taking app. I am a user of OneNote since 2013, so I am very happy discovering from your review that OneNote is better than the popular iPad apps good note and notability except of course for the lag which I believe I can manage. But hopefully, Microsoft will do something about it 😊
onenote has notebooks -> section groups - > sections - > pages - > subpages! and it works seamlessly between my iPad, surface, and galaxy note, that's the only reason I'm using it! since it does no discrimination between operating systems
Based on using these apps for years, here's the best features imo: Notability: sync audio recording with notes Goodnotes 4: great to store pdfs of books/textbooks Goodnotes 5: if you take both typed and hand written notes this app makes it pretty easy to do both OneNote: being able to zoom out on the document (worst feature: super laggy)
Goodnotes for sure, I am multifunctional in a wide array of projects , tattoo designs, arcade design, doodling , engineering .I use Goodnotes for every note needed
Same I just got my iPad and I start my junior year of college this fall and have never done digital notetaking before, I went and got the keyboard and pencil but now the hard part is getting the right note taking app. what I hate the most is how the cons for each one are so huge that it makes the decision that much harder. UUGHHHH. :(
@@melanielopez3100 It definitely depends on preference and what subjects you take. I personally use notability more than goodnotes. Onenote I only ever use for homework bc I have to upload it on there. If you need to type a lot, use onenote (don't use it for pen bc its very limited). Quick rough notes (+ voice recording) I suggest notability. Cleaner/more organised notes: goodnotes
I have a point for One Note right now. Online classes make teachers go as fast as if someone would be trying to murder them, and they use slides, so I think it is super easy to take screenshots on a computer and then work with the i pad.
@@keithowu I don't have an iPad Pro, but the recording function is there in OneNote. Plus it's free so you can easily explore it on your own for any doubts that you have.
hi karl! never thought i would see u here 🤣 over the past few months ive been binging your videos and i love ur recent vids in pakistan (im pakistani myself). keep up the amazing work man! love from the UK!
@@KarlRock thats great! I'm leaning towards goodnotes too. im going to use it in college for note taking and seeing as i realised my cousin also uses goodnotes, its the best choice i think. thanks for ur reply man 🙂
Goodnotes5 has a great Outline/Table of Contents feature so that if you did want to put all your lectures in one notebook, you can split it up subject within the notebook. Also I find that Notability’s subject and divider sections as the only form of organization are really restricting as compared with GoodNotes you can have folders within folders. One Note is great for classes that are more text based.
One note has the same feature and probably better actually but only for windows. Ipad users got jiffed with one note. On ipad i use good notes or notability but one note for windows. I export all my ipad notes into one note just cuz im using my pc most the time at home and one note has all the same features and more for windows
@@abcd-hw8io same! I hate infinite page and hence considering switching to Goodnotes5. I always thought something was off ever since I got the iPad(about 2 months ago) and now I know why I’m not able to memorise some stuff as I would when taking notes in a physical notebook. Does anyone know how to import notes from OneNote to Goodnotes5?
GoodNotes 5 can sync to your phone too. I sync mine all the time. I don’t really care for one note and haven’t tried notability yet. GoodNotes is my go to.
3:58 It doesn't have to be organized only by notebooks. You can import PDFs independently of a notebook and you can also make folders within folders on Goodnotes. For example, I find it useful to have course folders (ex PSY230) and then within that folder, have folders for lectures, notes, exams, etc.
Since you have good notes, may I ask you if I understand correctly? The pages in the notebook that you create are limited? You can't add pages as you like and, for example, make a notebook of 300 pages?
@@Babu12fire The notebooks don't have a maximum limit for the amount of pages but might take longer to load when transforming it into a pdf, (photos take the longest you can also change the layout of the page, but there is no good reason to have a 300 page notebook on there as they have a great folder system.
Me doesn’t have enough money on my Apple account XD I do have enough money but I’m a lil scared to ask money for my Apple account since I already asked iPad Pro 2020 and a Apple Pencil ;-;
I have enough money, but I’m young and I want to save for when I go to college. I know the app is pretty cheap, but I’m cheap as well, and I don’t want to buy an app I might not use... Is it more efficient to take notes on iPad or on paper??
tmochi I think it’s more efficient on the iPad. But also it depends on what you want to study in college. If you want study something in STEM, then an iPad would be a great choice since making diagrams and stuff like that would be a hassle on paper.
tmochi honestly I’m in 10th grade and I’d rather do notes and work on iPad(for chemistry and math only) because it can be a pain in the ass having to have a million pieces of paper on stand by and having a clutter in my binder. With the iPad, one it can be organized better, 2, it’ll save paper so we don’t waste it and lastly with the way society has slowly been relying more on technology in the past ten years this is going to come in handy for me atleast
Hafu, this was a super helpful summary of the top note taking apps out there. Thank you for sharing! It appears that OneNote would be my choice as I do use my computer and Ipad concurrently. But, I also want a smooth writing experience. So, I will see how I can seamlessly integrate the use of Notability as well. Again, a well done video!
I can say that you can look at an overview of all your pages in good notes, as well as make an outline, so you can automatically go to the page you want. I found it really helpful
if you are downloading or screen shooting a lecture, you can download/send them to goodnotes. it will ask you what file you want it to be in… if you are automatically in the notebook you are wanting to put the downloaded/screenshot ted lecture, you can set it to the specific area of that notebook.
Thank you very much for this review! You're very clear, organized and super cool 🤩 I'll be staying with my OneNote Just for the sync feature that means SO MUCH
Nice vid! But I have to say the page borders in goodnotes actually are very handy when you wanna print your notes. With notability or one note it’s much harder to do
I've been using OneNote for about 2 months now, and so far it has been amazing imo. The lag isn't really the biggest ordeal for me, considering the host of other functionalities it offers, but one thing that REALLY bothers me is how QUICKLY it drains ur iPad battery, since I assume the continuous syncing takes a lot of energy. Other than that, fantastic.
Notability is doing a lot to improve the app. I'm excited to learn about new features every time. This is why I chose Notability. It's alive. OneNote is literally dead. There's only one update per month and it's only about fixing bugs and something like that. It feels like OneNote brings only one new feature per year. I also agree that Notability has a better file organisation than Good Notes.
I wish notability had just one extra level for the notes, like it is in OneNote, then it would be perfect. Well, actually, a Windows version of the application to sync and edit notes on PC would make it perfect, but that ain't gonna happen.
Unsponsored opinion, writing on the iPad is actually great without the need for paperlike. I use my iPad for writing notes everyday and I also use one note because it's great and most importantly free! 😅
Literally the video I was looking for. As a professional this is the direct breakdown I needed. Hope your channels continues to grow. About to binge it al
You are amazing because every video you make is full of love, vigor, positivity, and success. I wish for you all the best, your friend from Lebanon 🇱🇧❤️🇱🇧
Both notability and goodnotes 5 also can connect to your Mac (not PC though). They have their own Mac apps as well and connect seamlessly through iCloud. I personally use notability, and am able use it seamlessly across my devices !
Thank you so much for your review. I have purchased GoodNotes recently and wasn't a big fan. Gonna stick with OneNote and work on organizing my notes better. I ordered a paperlike product from your link as well.
I just bought an iPad yesterday after purchasing an iPhone and MacBook within the last 2 months, smh. I honestly didn't need the iPad it was more of an "I always wanted one purchase" so I went ahead and pulled the trigger. One of the benefits of getting it though (to me) was the ability to take notes, especially for work. I do daily reports everyday, since I started work I've been doing them with traditional pen and paper. I've always felt guilty about the amount of paper and ink I consume especially since the reports aren't even that long. I have to say that the notability app is AWESOME so far. I haven't even really explored it yet but I have a feeling it's going to be well worth the price. I couldn't even figure out how to edit a PDF that I had on my Pages application but Notability made it super easy. Thanks for the video, it really helped me make an informed decision.
This is such a good video! I was looking for reviews on note-taking apps because I'm going to start my summer session in a few days. I'm really glad that you kept this video short and sweet, and that you just came out with saying which app you prefer. Thank you for the insight :)
wally martinez : Noteabilitiy’s audio recording function is much more powerful. You can click on your note and the audio recording goes right to that point in the recording.
@@tommyboyindy1157 I think you mean Notability, right? OneNote does not have audio sync, and on iPad you can't record audio while writing at the same time, so pretty much useless for class.
I study online so I use a new Acer 5 Aspire Slim laptop/desktop (old HP) to write papers. I just bought an iPad for notes and being on the go, so I will use One Note because of the syncing as you noted.
Came here to see what’s worth to try for Senior and finally got my answer thank you so much for this! 100% helpful i just got my ipad and i’ve been looking for a good note taking app thanksss
I recommend goodnotes. I bought both and I found that goodnotes are more stable than notability, sometimes my notes disappear in notability. I did not find such thing in goodnotes
ONENOTE also has a record function, and it will highlight the notes that you took, at the time the audio was recording. Notability does not have a monopoly on that.
Perfect timing for me! Just got an ipad so needed a good note taking app to help and also needed a screen protector. Thank you for the good informative video
the viedo i despertatily needed like yeah , i hell confused cause no one compared thr three . i am very grateful .thnaks from bottom of my heart . btw i am also biased toward one note but no body was comparing alll three so yeh i am one note won .
In fact, the page break is the best feature if you want to export your note to pdf. Other note taking apps export to pdf by cutting off a long page into individual pages, and my text and pictures are brutally cut into two pages, which is annoying.
Nice and helpful video 💪 and by the way u are learning exactly the same about Siegmund Freud what I m learning right now in class 12th in Germany what a coincidence
I received ipad pro as a graduation gift but couldn’t afford magic keyboard and paperlike lol. Thank you for honest reviews. At least i can still take notes by writing😊.
Regards the screen protector do some research there’s others out there that might be just as good if not better. I got mine off Amazon way cheaper. And magic keyboard is super cool but not really necessary.
I think you missed one very important point: In which format(s) can I export my notes? I’ve been through it with migrating from Evernote to OneNote. But then we changed the Microsoft tenant in our company. You guess it: There’s no migration tool from Microsoft. I had to manually export each notebook to a file and import it back on the new tenant. I will not ever store my notes in a proprietary format! Never ever!
In GoodNotes, you can export to PDF. Whenever I get done with a section or entire class, I immediately backup the app to iCloud and I also export the notes to PDF just to be sure, which I also save in iCloud.
i'm using notability on my ipad and one note on my mac. it is really useful. one day i'd like to try good notes too but there is no need for that in my opinion.
Endless page is my nightmare in OneNote, I hate it and also missing possibility to see and work on all pages at once like you can do in Documents by Readdle. In fact, there is no app at this moment on the market that combines all good features in one. Every single app has disadvantages that make me jump from one app to the other looking for improvement , and it’s annoying 😣. But thank you for your review and nice video🌹
One Note also has an audio recording option. It does not add your notes that you drew as the recording plays but you can add the recording to the notes.
goodnotes has just updates to goodnotes 6 which requires all users to pay (potentially again) for access to the app which makes it an instant no for me because i don’t wanna be in a situation in the future where the could decide to do this again but i’m not in a situation where i can pay it and i loose all my notes. i’ve been using goodnotes for years but that’s an instant no for me.
OneNote has had the audio record function for quite some time. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm looking at the icon right now on OneNote. It does have the lag you talked about. Good review. Thank you.
