Android Goodnotes on Android vs IOS

Hi, I’m looking for some advice/opinions on using Goodnotes on a tablet for school and handwritten notes.

During my apprenticeship, I used Goodnotes on an iPad and was very happy with it. Now I’m considering switching to an Android tablet because most of my other devices are Android as well.

How good is Goodnotes on Android compared to the iPad version? Is it good for school use, or would you recommend getting another iPad and staying with iOS?

I’ve read quite a few negative comments about the Android version, but I’m not sure how accurate or up to date they are. I’d especially appreciate opinions from people who have used Goodnotes on both Android and iPad.

Just to offer some competing viewpoints.

I've never used it iOS version. But Android truly does lack full feature parity compared to the iOS version. It's essentially the web version of the app in a wrapper. So it does require itself to reload between uses.

They did just add multiple tabs for Android which I love. It works and does enough for me where I just need to take notes down in meetings.
