The customer experience of Goodnotes on iOS

The notepad is dead long live the tablet. Last year I decided to try and change my way of working dumping my trusty notepad which I had spent years refining my approach to note taking and switched to digital. As an advocate of all things digital it felt hypocritical not looking to different methods for something as every day as taking notes. Having been a champion of all things Apple for a number of years it felt right to trial this on android and use a device and application on that platform. Having slaved and sweated over this for a year I have now given up on it and switched back to Apple. Very much not giving up on the digitalised note taking but jumping ship onto the HMS iPad and all it's familiar loveliness. In order to make some efforts to new areas I am doing this on an iPad mini having become used to note taking on a 7 inch tablet. Throw a stylus in the mix and a decent tablet cover making it feel more book like your ready to go. Ready minus the vital ingredient of an application of course. Having downloaded every single hand writing application I tried them all. Some for a very short moment realising instantly they were not right. After a smorgasbord of testing I have now settled on Goodnotes on iOS that is outstanding. Handwriting on my tablet with ease adding in photos and hand drawn images feels completely natural and uninterrupted by crashes or technical glitches. This is the way forwards and I certainly won't be reaching to the stationary cupboard again for the last notepad. Goodnotes. Epic note taking.
