Sorry everyone, I made a mistake at 8:38, GoodNotes 5 does, in fact, have vertical scrolling. It can be switched on in the settings.
Samuel Suresh what model iPad do u have and what size and generation is it
Jovan Villa it looks like the 2018 Ipad Pro 11 inch
I think that too..that is ipad pro 11
Jovan Villa I use the 2018 iPad Pro 12.9’’
@@SamuelSuresh Hi, how much space do your notes take up per semester? Will a 32gb iPad enough for 5 years?
Came for an app comparison, left feeling inspired about life
😆😅 same here
I KNOW RIGHT?! I just loved it
RIGHT. He has that vibe OMG
Anna Tiner ahahahaha, I was just about to comment on that😂
Me too!
He's that guy in med school if you're friends with, you'll go home everyday feeling awesome and inspired to do something in life.
Drh95 and you’ll also go home everyday with perfect lecture notes...
He’s the reason why you STAYED in med school 😂 Without this mans inspiration I wouldn’t have got on top of my med school apps literally after his videos I got inspired
Literally saved my semester. The iPad Pro is incredible for med school
Honestly Goodnotes and Notability should just collab and make the ultimate note-taking app :)
"goodability"
Goodnotabilty
EXACTLY!
It could just be called Notes
That would be epic honestly
A film maker, teacher, story teller, voice over artist, artist, presenter, who happens to be studying medicine to be a doctor(?).Mike drop......Next gen, non-arrogant actually giving back to the world. Future is bright for this guy. Im buying an ipad because of him and I'm not a student!
I couldn't say it better myself, he truly is an amazing person
The last part though😂😂😂. And I am not a student🙌🙌
...and he’s cute 😌
He is giving Mr. Johnny Sins tough competition!
Ali Abdaal ? lol
Dude you should be getting sponsored to do these. You’re a great salesman, very emotive. Awesome job.
Wait his videos aren't sponsored????
Adaora no 😂
He is paid actor from apple... But acts as commoner
Bejoy K hes not
I think he might be, I was looking at good notes today and those are DEFINITELY his notes being used as examples haha
Next video suggestion: How *you* take notes

This video literally made me go buy an iPad

You are a natural movie maker, story teller, conveyor of inspirational messages. You are more than a excellent you tuber (that seems to have just started out). You can find a niche here because you are soo engaging! Well done love you videos
Although I admit Notability has some nice features, I can't live without a decent folder system that Goodnotes has. Only having dividers and one layer of folders doesn't cut it for me: I need to be able to split things into different areas of my life, different years, different semesters, different classes, different subjects, and really anything else. Only Goodnotes does this for me.
isn't it the other way around? I'm trying to understand as I want to buy one of them
I like how you presented the usage of the two apps depending on purpose - filing / storage of important references or documentd and more free-style notetaking. I think I’d give that a try in my office workflow as well. Keep those vids and tips coming. Stay healthy and keep safe.
Your videos are incredible, the quality and editing for someone just starting out is amazing! I’m surprised you don’t have more subscribers, I’m excited to see you grow cause you’re definitely worth the watch!!
Indeed good videos . no doubt about it . But now a days its very easy to learn these editing stuffs from skillshare and youtube in this internet world. Anyone can do it. What separates from others is how well he connects with his audience sharing his knowledge. I dont think with only video quality or editing amazing is the only reason for him to grow so fast in youtube.
Two years ago, I bought my 2nd gen 256 gig 12.9 inch iPad Pro. I had previous experience with the iPad Pro, so I was comfortable with spending $1,000. What I didn’t know was that it was legit going to change my life. The iPad Pro is a perfect device for note taking, video/photo editing, drawing, movie watching, FaceTiming, texting, etc. I have never been more impressed and satisfied with a product. I also get bored of new things very easily, but after two years, I have yet to get bored of my iPad Pro. If you are thinking about getting one but are hesitant because of the price, trust me when I say it will buy you time, effort, and there’s nothing else like it. Great video!
Funny…Just an observation here. It seems like most of the UA-camrs who evaluate iPad note taking apps are medical students creating complex and colorful notes. It seems to me we may be at risk of having a future army of medical professionals who possess excellent handwriting skills. All kidding aside, your videos represent the true ‘Gold Standard’ of reviews. They are creative and inspiring. Thank you.
Hes so soft and insightful, every single video is so well structured, competent and helpful. Besides that, his whole aura is just very calming. I‘d wish to have him as a bestfriend
Dude, you can sell everything! I thing that’s a mix of the big black eyes, the soft voice and the music. Great video!
Lol
I would say big brown eyes but yea lol he’s very enticing
8:40 GoodNotes actually has a vertical scrolling ability. If you go into the notebook, click the 3 dots on the top right, and set your scrolling direction from horizontal to vertical and it’ll be exactly like Notability.
Kimberly c: thank you for letting me know. I was unaware at the time
That‘s a great feature! And probably the last thing in the video, that bothered me about GoodNotes. Thank you.
I just started being consistent on my UA-cam channel, and still felt overwhelmed by keeping track of my notes, ideas, and checklists. You blew my mind, and answered every question I had. Thank you for making this video. 🙌🏼
Love your analysis of these two tools and the passion that comes through in your videos. Kudos!
I agree about writing in GoodNotes: it’s better for the experience of writing, but if I may suggest a use case for Notability: syncing recorded talks, lectures, meetings-in person and online-with writing. It’s surprisingly useful to click on something you wrote and have Notability go to that part of the recording so you can listen while reviewing your notes in context. Its also useful to watch your writing light up as you listen along with the recording.
Does GoodNotes not have the ability to record to your writing?
@@IroAppe Not right now but they said they are developing it.
Prashant Singh That‘s great to hear!
Keith Dvorak great great great tip
I have a question about the space they take up. How many gigabytes do each take up?
Where did this guy come from? His videos are phenomenal! I’m looking forward to all of your future content. I’m astonished by the quality of your videos and the way you explain!
Thank you for actually choosing a winner between these two apps. Most youtubers leave us hanging on their opinion and try to be as equal as possible. However, you gave a clear personal opinion on the app you prefer and a clear reason as to how you reached that decision. Great video. Very helpful.
I loved it, I also started using my iPad to write in my second semester of University. It was the beginning of a new stage of my life, it improved my grades and my level of concentration and my physical health. In an induction activity I discovered that my 🎒 weighed 4 kilos. That's when I decided to look for other options. In my experience Notability it is superior as it has the option to record and you can study that way and complement your own notes. Your writing was recorded as three milliseconds faster. Goodnotes 5 surpassed all that in this version.
can you make a video about your handwriting and how you create the titles with the shadows on good notes? handwriting is incredible
Sure. I've noted it down.
Samuel Suresh but the question is which app did you note it down?
His handwriting is incredible. I love how his notes look. I use notability too but my notes don’t look half that good.
Omg you’re using notability and goodnotes like how I use it!! I’m glad I found someone who understands me on another level 😭❤️
I came here after watching your video!!!!!
@@snigdhashingade6097 same here
This is one of the most useful videos I’ve ever watched on this (and I have been browsing UA-cam all day) so thank you so much for that!
This is by far the best comparison/contrast between these two apps that I've found, and yes, I also use both. I absolutely agree about the hand writing experience in Goodnotes--it actually makes me *love* practicing writing kanji in Japanese. OTOH I tend to use Notability in situations where I''ll be typing instead of writing by hand. Thanks for the great video!
I’m currently watching all of your videos and they’re really inspiring me and giving me hope while I’m in college. I’m halfway through my first semester, and it’s not going the best. I bought an iPad for Procreate to draw, but then I realized it could be used for notes as well and I’m very excited to start buckling down on my notes and evolving the way I learn. Thank you for everything that you’ve done and created!
I love how the lamp colors in the background represent Goodnotes (our left) and Notability (right), based on the background colors when you demonstrated each. And your shirt color betrays your true favorite!! Excellent video!!!
Scott K wasn't it the other way round?
@@nathanjohn367 I agree I think I was left, notability and right, goodnotes
Words cannot describe how much I loved your video. I am a student too and have been looking into getting the iPad Pro when the new Magic Keyboard comes out and one of my issues was about taking notes. I am so grateful you made this video. You now have a new subscriber, keep doing what you are doing!!
your voice is so relaxing, I like to play your videos in the background while I work. I like how you decided to use good notes for more organic stuff and notability to file papers and pdfs.
Wow, I'm such a fan of you now. Your videos are incredibly well organized and the quality is incredible, but also, the way you TALK is just inspiring. I can't wait to start using the iPad pro and these notetaking apps!
Dude, I was moved by the way you present all factors, variables, and passion in using both note-taking apps with an inclusion of a well summarization as well as a clear explanation and paying attention in lots of great details to be significantly mentioned. Thank you for making such a high quality and inspirational VDO.
You have sold me both apps and got me have subscribed your works :)
Boat #A future graduate student at Uvic (A Master of Global Business) 2020 !
You’re such an inspirational speaker. Looks like it reflects in everything you are passionate about. I never get tired of your videos because you seem so sincere about your experiences with GOODNOTES and NOTABILITY.
This is THE best comparison I have ever heard in my entire life. This basically covers everything and just..... wow
never thought I would find another person just as passionate about notability and all its wonders... great review!
You made me realize why I always feel motivated when using Goodnotes. But now I also want to try out Notability for the organization method as well. Thank you for your review!
This is so random, and I am only a minute and 40 seconds into the video, but I just have to say this. This content thus far is TOP TIER. The music, the quality, the background...you gained a subscriber within a minute and 40 seconds. Props.
I’m glad you mentioned your writing experience in detail. The other videos I watched preferred Notability in that regard because they said it was like writing on paper, implying that Goodnotes wasn’t as natural as Notability. So your comment that writing on Goodnotes “was a million times better than paper” quickly captured my attention. Very nice video overall. I’m also thinking of getting both apps and discovering my own study method with them.
Yeah it really is personal preference. Some people like Notability’s writing mechanics - especially if they use cursive. But yeah my handwriting is suited more to GoodNotes.
I like your passion and I really like the fact that you can “fall in love” with hand writing in Goodnotes.
came here with hesitation of which one should i choose, left with even more doubt with should i just download both
Same!
just download both and use it in the same way he did! i’ll do that too
They're both pretty cheap so that is what I did lol
Hahahaha same, like he said get both
I was just looking for a review on Noteability and Goodnotes and somehow came across your Channel. I liked the way you were talking about those two apps and how and why you use them, that I started to watch more of your videos. I am so impressed on the way you structure your content your life and work and how you explain why you do it. In the end I learned so much more than I expected or were actually looking for. Thank you and keep going.
I'm an Interior Designer...been using GoodNotes for a few years....you opened my mindset.. I will look at Notability as another way of keeping notes and files... thank you for your CLEAR and concise explanations .
You will go a long way man! Quality and editing of the videos are incredible. Keep on doing great content like these! cheers
Okay I just want to say I’m in love with your channel. The video quality, the audio, the way you put across your ideas, it’s all just amazing. And I have to say you have a really soothing voice.
Well I think I will choose notability because I like how it’s structured. Goodnotes seems overwhelming to me. I just wish notability will fix their highlighters and maybe add the ‘insert space’ feature like the one in onenote.
Hey man, media communication student with medical background from Germany here. I just stumbled over your account looking for info about iPad/Apple pencil notetaking, and goooosh you're doing a great job!! Love the colors and light you use, you're charismatic, you explain so well and not from the top. Have a good day and good luck with your studies!
I often get very caught up in minor details. And comparing apps can take me days. Usually I have to find individual videos talking about each app and then do my own comparison. 8 minutes in, and I vastly appreciate this video. Its perfect. And thanks for not shouting your script at the camera.
Your videos are amazing! Keep doing what you are doing! Thank you so much for all your hard work.
Your voice is really soothing
*Why do you make me wonder you are a Goan?*
Klint _ I think so.
He would be a great therapist, make me feel like I’m floating and believe I’m floating lol 😂
Brilliant! One of the best UA-cam pieces I've ever watched. Personal, informative, educational, delivered with a presence of likability and consistency.
Well done.
Thanks for the comprehensive comparison. No one dominates the other. We have to figure out our demands before deciding which one to use. Your evaluation on them is very insightful!
Couldn’t have asked for a better analysis of these two apps! A fantastic video that has led to me to change how I will go about studying for the rest of my degree.
Here I'm after watching your recent video (How you take notes on ipad in lectures), again watching this video after 6 months with GoodNotes. And thinking "what the hell should I do with Notability, bought on discount, when I'm content with GN5?".
Your video made it clear, storage files in NB and writing in GN5. Btw. your videos are the best! I can watch them 10 times and still get different inspirations and ideas from it.
This was the video that got me thinking about buying an iPad Pro for notetaking this semester. I got the 12.9 2020 model with GoodNotes 5. Gotta say I have never had a better time writing notes down than when I started using GoodNotes. I use it for class, for homework, and even to story my D&D Character sheets and papers! My favorite feature by far is the "Scan Document" feature. It's THE BEST I've seen out of ANY app so far.
Wow. I love this video. I just got finished buying notebooks, a new planner (bullet journal), markers, highlighters... before I made the decision to purchase an iPad Pro. This video hit me hard, because it’s true.. you spend a TON of money on all these things and they’re all over the place. I’m excited to minimize my life. This video was awesome.
Awesome video, I’m an engineering student and this really helped me decide on which app to download. Went for good notes based on the fact that diagrams are easier to draw. Also, my handwriting is like hieroglyphics and I myself cant understand myself sometimes. So it seems like good notes will help me on that front too.
Samuel, a super good video with extremely insightful information of great value to anyone who wants to digitize ALL NOTE TAKING, for any subject. Whether one is a student or hobbyist what you have explained is TERRIFIC!
What is terrific is then the notes are saved for ever and searchable at any time, for students, professionals or amateurs! Thanks so much!
Just bought an iPad Air. This was a really helpful overview. I've grabbed both now, and have the same thoughts regarding GoodNotes. I also watched your other video about how you take notes. I enjoy taking good notes for all the reasons you point out. Thanks for the inspiration and thorough reviews.
Everyone else has already said it, but this was an incredible video. I'm working on my third degree and haven't felt this this confident about my note-taking skills/abilities on the upcoming semester. A thousand times thank you.
This is by far the most useful comparison video I’ve seen for these apps. I’m going to use them the same way you do. Makes more sense
Aye, another WSU friend! I've been considering changing up how i take notes and do work for uni recently and your previous video and this one definitely sold me on considering the iPad Pro as a big contender for the job. Great looking videos too.
Great job at breaking the video into different categories and explaining/ demonstrating. I know you'll help alot of people decide.
You’re so inspiring man, if you ever become a teacher/professor, your students would be so blessed
You have the best video I've seen on iPad notetaking apps!! Thank you soso much!!
Why am i crying?? Also.. Goodnotes 5 is the one for me!
man i just found this channel n i’m absolutely in love, goin into second year with my first ipad setup, thanks for the amazing help and motivation!
After watching loads of videos, I have finally gotten myself an answer. I am going to purchase both apps. I'm a postgraduate medical student and I really need the structure of Notability but at the same time, the versatility of Good Notes. Thanks again!
This really made me want to return back to note taking and studying in general. Thank you. Feeling positive.
Another amazing video with the right pace, music, and transitions! I need more, (and an iPad Pro)
I really like this video, it just gets to the point and is structured so well. Not everything has to be a TED Talk-style ‘inspirational journey’. I like things that get to the point.
I love how passionate and genuine you are in your videos ❤️
How could I not notice there's no point to choose one of them, but create a system that helps in workflow? Just amazing, Samuel. Great video!
Can you teach us how to take notes so beautifully like yours? It’s so organized yet fun to look at at the same time
I intend to make some videos in the future that go into how I learn and what goes on in my head when I am trying to make notes, which I think might be helpful.
That’s great idea 💡
@@SamuelSuresh Are you a Malayali amigo?
Good content. 👍🏼👍🏼
Liked the well coordinated colour theme of the video too (background n ambient lights + T-Shirt).
Notability’s audio recording and time stamping audio to hand written notes is a total game changer for me
Yeah that’s why I picked notability
I'm hella late here but if you use the audio recording feature, does that make the files of your notes really large? On that 64gb iPad life so storage is crucial haha
@@Sam-gn9pn yes
Who needs this when all the lectures are recorded?lol
@@Sibasish07 oh you use a phone to record or the lecture is recorded by the school ?
Great video men. It can tell that you put a lot of effort in the making. Keep it up!
This was incredibly useful and I appreciate you walking through it and breaking down the purpose and usage of the apps. As a visual learner, this was exactly what I needed to gain a better understanding. Thanks!
Transport and Communication
Transport facilitates trade and commerce by carrying goods from the areas of production to that of consumption. Goods from the areas that have surplus are shifted to those areas which are deficient in those items. Movement of people from one place to another place in search of job, education and emergency through transport facility. Communication keeps usinformed about the world’s events and trends. It brings in positive changes in the life of the people and thereby enhancing their economic conditions.
• Natural resources, economic activities and markets are rarely found in one place. Transport, communication and trade establish links between producing centres and consuming centres.
• The system of mass production and exchange is complex.Each region produces the items for which it is best suited. Trade or the exchange of such commodities relies on transportation and communication.
• Likewise, the high living standards and quality of life depend on efficient transportation, communications and trade.
• In earlier days, the means of transport and communication were the same. But today both have acquired distinct and specialised forms. Transport provides the network o f links and carriers through which trade takes place.
I’m just thinking of getting an iPad, I don’t own one but how relaxing it is to hear you speak 🥰
Yup, I choose notability after watching this video since it has the record function, which is very useful especially when reviewing university lectures or tutorials, since it allows us to listen to the explanation again! Thanks, awesome review!
I automatically chose Goodnotes for the highlighter. I like to have colouful notes and I like to doodle too sometimes. I can't colour things neatly on Notability.
One thing that he didn’t mention that I love about notability, is that you can open two documents at once in notability and get a side by side view. A feature I find quite useful if I have the textbook and my notes in notability.
I have checked for videos comparing these two apps ..your comparision and way of presenting it was wonderful and lucid....best done...keep goin....
I came with the notion that one app was clearly going to better, but Samuel deftly defines why I need both. Thank you.
Congratulations On 1K more to go Mate!
This video was so well done!!!! Thank you for sharing your insight and the effort you put into this video.
I’ve only seen 2 of your videos so far but your vibes are so claiming and inspiring 🥺
this is, by far, the best video on this topic i have seen! I also love your conviction talking about these apps! 10/10
Hi! I love these types of videos! They are so helpful and informative! Thanks🤩
Oh man, I can’t describe how glad I’m to come across this video and actually spend time to finish watching it. I am planning to get an iPad Pro primarily for note taking in college but the pros and cons around these two apps have been driving me crazy. The idea you just shared probably has saved me a year or more to come up with the best possible method for note taking myself. Thank you!
hey, I'm heading off to college this fall and I'm in the same position! I've already gotten my iPad Pro but now I just need to figure out which app to use. May I ask what app you ended up using?
Recently I just got an Ipad and I am going to use it for art but I was really excited to use it for notes and this just made me even more excited! Thanks for making a great video on the topic it really helped me decide! :3
Great comparison of both apps. Very well laid out and fun to follow along. As a new user to iPad Pro this was very beneficial. THANK YOU
your videos really help me !! i’m so impressed like ??? keep working and creating even more great content :)
I just came for a simple overview of the two apps and just came away so impressed with your reasoning and how you put both of these apps in the context of how they’re meant to be used. It would have been easy to simply list the features of each in a side-by-side comparison but here I can see how I’d actually make them useful for me. Liked and subscribed.
Still not sure which one to get, though.
I’ve recently found your videos and love the high density of valuable information and consistently polished finished product
With this is mind, I noticed in this video the audio volume on your voice sometimes changes noticeably enough to have to fiddle with the volume, and sometimes getting lost in the background track. You have a lovely, soft inside voice that finds and fills the breaks in between other audio elements. It’s quite calming, what a boon for it to be filled with such useful and helpful information. You present as tho University study is some kind of friendly beast trying to help out. Cheers for that
This is just a polishing note (can’t think of how to say it right now), I wouldn’t have mentioned it but you do seem to take care and enjoy these kinds of details
Keep em coming! :)
Hands on the best video comparing these two videos. You deserve way more views.
