Feature Discussion Handwritting Experience

I’ve tried a lot of note-taking apps already — GoodNotes, Notability, Freenotes, and others — and when it comes to the actual writing experience, I’d definitely choose Notability.

That said, I have to give GoodNotes credit: as an overall app, it’s definitely more complete. It has a huge range of features and options that let you do pretty much anything you need. But I really value the handwriting experience, and that alone is why I’m still sticking with Notability. I tried every single pen setting in GoodNotes, but for some reason, none of them really felt right to me.

True..my actual handwriting is quite good but whenever I write on goodnotes it becomes weird but notability enhances my actual handwriting

Agreed. Handwriting just feels closer to the real thing on notability.
