  • Hey everyone! This is my third time making a Notability vs. GoodNotes 5 comparison video, and since I just graduated form College it may also be my final one. Because of this, I wanted to go as in depth as I possibly could and compare these two note taking applications to find out which is truly better.
    If I forgot to mention anything, or made some mistakes, please let me know in the comments and I will continue to update a pinned comment with any corrections y'all find!
    Hope this video gives you an idea what both applications are capable of doing, and helps you decide which is best for you!

    Notability have just released a new version v14. It's excellent. Best of all for me with having the Classic version is we have been fully upgraded with the Ruler, Favourite notes, Seasons Skins, Stickers etc. But not the Math text conversion. Keep up the great work Nathan.

    Notability just had an update which has got rid of the favourites bar and its kind of ruined my life. theres been a few other changes which are all just for aesthetics but have ruined the functionality! I'm so disappointed and now im going to have to try GN5. Thanks for the video this has helped me!

    Thank you an excellent video Nathan. Thank you for taking the time to explain the main differences. I am a Notability user (not subscription) as I brought many of the add on s before it went subscription. As a maths teacher I like the dashed lines on Notability and turning maths into math using the conversion tool but you do need to know some latex for post editing. Thanks.

    • @NathanLemoine

    I badly wanted to use notability, but they lack the most simple feature I love from GN5 which is automatically straightening highlights/lines without holding it first. I read and highlight so much that I need that convenience/ease while studying.

    • @feixuzou
      @feixuzou 11 месяцев назад

    You make the point that Notability has helped you succeed with your university studies. Therefore, I would consider the $14.99 yearly subscription charge a worthwhile investment if it means graduating successfully and going on to a high paying career. After all, we are only talking the cost of a few coffees per year.
