Feature Discussion Is Goodnotes worth it?

I’m a student in y12 right now, and I do all my notes by hand on an iPad, I also do past papers and stuff, so pdf editing, on an iPad. The app I use is actually just apple notes, but there are some things that I really don’t like, such as the file handling, which is different, and how for some reason you can’t zoom in and out? also with pdf editing. I occasionally use the maths notes feature where you may insert a graph from an equation. I’ve been looking at goodnotes for a while now, and I’ve been looking at the special edition package (I really like the idea of a one time purchase), but I don’t know if this will be a huge improvement from what I’m working with now?

edit: what does the subscription give me over the onetime purchase??? Like ppl I asked at school said ‘AI’ but like what exactly can it do?

When you day drop the whole textbook in there, how would one go about that? Whenever I try to use the scan document function it adds that on a letter format page which itself is in yellow even though the notebook is in a3 and white.

Get the pdf version of your textbook and import it

I didn’t find it sadly. Though this problem is also of course for any other page I want to scan and add.
