Thanks to global search functionality, it’s easy to find any content you need quickly from the main screen. It’s a practical, efficient, and effective no-frills approach.īoth methods are easy to follow and can help you manage multiple documents with ease. Aside from creating new subjects (folders) for your notes and dividers to separate your subjects, there’s not much to see here. Opening the app, you’ll see your folders on the left sidebar and the notes within those folders displayed on the right. With Notability, you’ll always have easy access to your content via a no-nonsense sidebar. This has to do with the way GoodNotes wants you to create notes (more on this below), and it makes complete sense. When you open GoodNotes 5, you’ll be treated to either a list or grid layout (your choice), which displays all of your notes, folders, and notebooks in a quick and easy-to-read format. With GoodNotes, you can display your notebooks, notes, and other content in a list view (pictured) or in a gallery view. Though both apps make it easy to find and navigate content, both apps handle this core functionality in a very different way. The first thing you’ll notice when comparing GoodNotes 5 and Notability is the app layout and user interface.
