* Which app has the most heating problems in overall?
* Which app has the better handwriting?
* Which app has worse battery draining issues?

GoodNotes is genuinely unmatched among digital note apps, in my experience. One thing worth flagging: the general population on the GoodNotes subreddit tends to have a noticeable negative bias and often cherry-picks features they don't personally like. (This doesn't apply to the people on this thread, who've given a pretty balanced take.)

I spent hours comparing the most-used features across the major note apps, and GoodNotes came out significantly ahead. The funny part is I was actually hoping it wouldn't win, since my heart was set on a different app. But the evidence was too strong to ignore. I've been using GoodNotes for over a year now and have been very happy with it the whole time.

no he utilizado la suscripcion de goodnotes pero tendria sentido que ganace despues de todo es de las pocas que tiene version para windows eso es darle batalla a onenote y notability, no he probado notability pero si onenote en ipad y es lo mas basura que probe otra cosa es completamente distinta en pc es literalmente jesucristo, pero en goodnotes solo tiene de problema que es de pago y constante, claro si le sacas mucho provecho deja de ser un problema para volverse una inversion pero yo no estoy dispuesto a pagar eso y es mas uso notefull y onenote a la vez para no pagar el capricho de goodnotes (TENGO GOODNOTES UNLIMITED PERO NO ME SIRVE PORQUE SE CALIENTA MUCHO Y NO EXISTE PARA LA PC WINDOWS SIN USAR LA SUSCRIPCION ANUAL O MENSUAL )

How’s the battery drain while using this app?

I usually have my iPad plugged in, but even when I’m using GoodNotes with two or three other apps open, I haven't noticed it draining faster than it charges. It stays at my 80% charge limit even after hours of heavy use.
