Why customers love using Goodnotes

“Using Goodnotes, we have our own personalized templates, so we all use the exact same sheets to communicate the same information across patients, across providers, and across team members. It helps us make sure that we are speaking in one voice. I would scream from the rooftops and recommend Goodnotes to anybody”

Dr. Candice Ortiz, Co-founder

 Capital Institute of Hearing & Balance, Construction Director

"Goodnotes was the perfect solution for us. It’s become the main tool for communication between our employees on-site and those at our offices. It has created a perfect bridge for us between analog and digital processes."

Fabian Langer

Carpenter and timber construction engineer, Z.D.K. Langer

"Goodnotes has delivered exactly what we expected. It has improved our efficiency,
raised the quality of our sketches and calculations and significantly reduced the time
spent revising, scanning and reissuing documents."

Daniel Ferguson

 Structural Engineer, M.A. McCloskey Ltd Consulting Engineers

"Functionality inside the Goodnotes app was miles ahead of all of the other apps that we were using, so it was a pretty good no-brainer for the team to jump on board. The best feature that we've got is where we have the cursor and the remote so we can do active and live demonstrations for clients simply just from a notepad."

Tim Lea

Head of Digital, Pivot Wealth

"The interface is very intuitive and easy to understand at a glance, and it’s really convenient to import materials from third-party apps. Goodnotes helps me focus on the core experience of digital handwriting and note-taking. It makes organizing and writing notes simple and efficient, so I can concentrate more on studying and capturing ideas rather than managing files or tools."

임동근

Research Fellow

"Excellent app to take notes. I like the way it corrects my writing, also the spelling check even if I am handwriting. I love how easy it is to organize all my notes, helping me organize notes for all my projects."

Eli B

Transformation Manager Medical Devices

"Goodnotes has the best writing experience using Apple Pencil so far — even the native Notes app is no match. You don’t have to lug your notebook around anymore; an iPad is more than enough. I also like that you can add PDFs and files to a section and keep them separate rather than embedded in notes, which makes it much easier to organize and review annotated documents"

Alibek C.

CFO

"I appreciate how helpful this tool is for taking notes, and I find it quite interactive, which keeps things interesting. It's very simple to create folders, upload photos, and add notes directly to them. Organizing both notes and pages is straightforward, so I never feel confused or overwhelmed. GoodNotes has streamlined this process by providing a single location for all my meeting notes, reference materials, and annotated documents."

Alejandra F.

Interpreter

"I appreciate Goodnotes for its convenience during staff meetings, especially when taking feedback from seniors. It allows me to note everything down and organize my thoughts without worrying about forgetting any important details. The convenient user interface stands out, making my experience smooth and efficient. The feature to extract handwritten notes is something I truly value, as it improves my efficiency and ensures that all my notes are easily accessible and readable."

Sagar V.

Voice Actor

"I like Goodnotes for both studying and work because it greatly aids in managing organization and helps with mental retention. Its versatility is something I particularly value, as it allows me to adapt the application to various tasks effectively. I enjoy using the notebooks feature, which is instrumental in organizing subjects, lessons, and ideas, facilitating a deeper understanding and efficient study of different subjects."

Sicily J.

Sales Development Representative

"It’s a great tool for collaborating on notes and keeping them synced across devices. I find its PDF tools and editing features to be excellent. It’s good to keep the notes synced between devices and use them on the go."

Aditya A.

Business Analyst

"I really enjoy using Goodnotes for writing notes on my learnings and meeting details; it makes the process easy. The clean interface allows me to see all relevant information in one place, which is incredibly helpful. The whiteboard feature stands out for providing a creative space to brainstorm, plan projects, and add timelines. The ability to sync across devices is a major advantage, allowing me to maintain continuity in my notes and ideas across platforms."

Madhu K.

Architect

"I like Goodnotes for keeping exhibition notes organised and searchable. It lets me sketch layouts, annotate floorplans, and compile provenance details easily. Handwriting recognition is accurate, and syncing across devices helps me work smoothly between gallery, office, and storage areas. It has replaced my scattered paper files, making it much easier to write reports quickly."

Professional in Health

Wellness & Fitness

"I use Goodnotes for note taking in various settings such as training, work meetings, and for personal notes. This versatility really helps in organizing my thoughts and brainstorming ideas effectively. I appreciate how it allows me to have access to my notes from wherever I am, which is incredibly convenient for maintaining continuity across different environments. The ability to customize my note-taking experience with highlights, stickers, and tabs makes it particularly enjoyable and efficient, as these features help me locate key points quickly. Additionally, the initial setup was very easy, which made the transition to using Goodnotes smooth and hassle-free. Overall, I find the unique combination of customizability and accessibility extremely valuable."

Kristal C S.

Realtor

"I love how Goodnotes keeps all my notes well-organized, making it easy for me to access them and helping me stay productive both at work and in my personal life. The software is easy to use, allowing me to focus on my tasks. It significantly reduces the need for paper, keeps everything in one convenient place, and allows me to quickly find the information I need."

Nahara D.

Sales Administrative Assistant

"I absolutely love how perfectly Goodnotes works with the Apple Pencil — the writing feels super smooth and responsive. On top of that, its integration with cloud services like Dropbox, OneDrive, and Google Drive makes it ridiculously easy to keep all my notes synced across devices. Goodnotes helps me keep all my handwritten notes, PDFs, and class materials in one place, so I don’t have to juggle multiple apps. Being able to search my handwriting, organize notebooks, and sync them across devices saves me time and keeps my workflow way more organized."

Minjeong K.

Senior Researcher

"I prep for surgeries by highlighting PDFs in Goodnotes on one side of my screen while typing up key points in Google Docs on the other. If I need to check something mid-procedure, I pull my notes up on my phone in read-only mode. Having everything synced across devices gives me a level of flexibility I didn't have before."

Frederick

Doctor, Singapore

"I use GoodNotes as a daily work journal and task keeper, which definitely helps with task management with deadlines and planning things in advance. I love being able to create a log to reference what I did on specific days. The customization options, like uploading and using my own journals and templates, are fantastic. I appreciate the cloud saving feature that allows me to view my notes anywhere, whether on my tablet or laptop."

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Goodnotes worth it in 2026?

Goodnotes is worth the subscription if you take handwritten notes on an iPad with an Apple Pencil and want that handwriting to be searchable, editable, and readable by AI. Free apps don't index handwriting or offer features like math help and meeting summaries. The free plan is free forever, not a trial, so you can test the core note-taking and PDF markup experience before paying anything.

What are Goodnotes' plans, and is there a one-time purchase option?

Goodnotes runs entirely on subscriptions, so there's no one-time purchase option, and every plan bills monthly or annually.

Free (forever): up to 3 Notebooks, 3 Whiteboards, and 3 Text Documents, core note-taking and PDF markup tools, and link sharing.

Essential ($11.99/year): everything in Free, plus unlimited Notebooks, Whiteboards, and Text Documents, unlimited audio recording, full sharing, 5GB of storage, basic AI features, and export without a watermark.

Pro ($35.99/year, most popular): everything in Essential, plus real-time collaboration, private link sharing, cross-device sync, and deeper AI capabilities.

Essential and Pro each include a 7-day free trial, and either can add the AI Add-on (+$10/month) for the full AI experience, including Goodnotes AI for Meetings and Create mode.

Is Goodnotes worth it if I work across iPad and laptop?

Yes, the Pro plan is built for exactly this. Notebooks sync across iPad, iPhone, and Mac, and cross-platform sync extends that to Android, Windows, and web. Start a handwritten note on your tablet, keep writing on your phone between meetings, then pull up the same page on your laptop to finish it, with no exporting or emailing files to yourself.

Does Goodnotes work on Windows or Android, or only Apple devices?

Goodnotes works on Apple, Android, Windows, and web. No matter your device, our core note-taking experience, PDF markup and sync work the same. Pro subscribers get cross-platform sync across all four, so you can view and edit the same notebooks wherever you're working.

Can I use Goodnotes offline, or do I need an internet connection?

Yes. Your notebooks live on your device, so you can write, annotate, and organize with no connection at all. Once you're back online, everything syncs automatically across your other devices, so nothing gets lost in between.

What AI features does Goodnotes include in the subscription?

Essential includes basic AI features. Pro unlocks deeper AI capabilities, and the AI Add-on (+$10/month, available on either plan) unlocks the full set: AI Math Assistance, audio transcription, Goodnotes AI for Meetings, and Create mode. These work directly with your handwriting, summarizing a page of notes, explaining a concept differently, or turning a recording into text you can search.

Can I share notebooks or collaborate with others on a paid plan?

Yes. Link sharing is available from the free plan up. Essential adds full sharing, and Pro adds real-time collaboration and private link sharing, so you and your team can work in the same notebook at once. Comments work across every platform, so feedback doesn't get stuck on one device. Teams plans build on this further with advanced collaboration for larger groups.

What platforms does Goodnotes Teams support?
