I’d love to see Notability expand on these options to link between dates and calendar events or even allow me to change the date with a calendar picker instead of typing. Tapping or clicking the date reveals surprisingly useful options. After typing a date string, it becomes underlined.
There’s a curious option when working with date text in Notability.
#NOTABILITY VS PDF EXPERT ARCHIVE#
I add annotations with the handwriting ink around the outline and later export the entire thing to my note archive in DEVONthink. I find these particularly useful for meeting agendas. Number outlines are also well supported in Notability. Tab indents new items and they even support formatted text within checklists. On any of the supported Notability platforms, just select some text and set the format to checklist. The support for outlines and checklist is excellent and something that is one of the main selling point over GoodNotes. Simple formatting is the least of what I like about text in Notability. I don’t want to fiddle, I just want to call attention to some text or create an informative divider in a section.
Still, the simplicity of having just three favorites is exactly how I work with text formatting in my notes. The same features exist on the iPhone and the Mac but the favorites do not sync, which is a bit of let down. Notability also adds an option to create three favorite formats to quickly apply to text. Notability makes it a lot more natural to jump between the two modes and provides some additional formatting options that actually keep me typing longer.Īs with the ink, there are limited text formatting options in Notability but what’s there is easily accessible and covers most of what I want to do. While I love handwriting in GoodNotes it always felt a bit awkward to type text. I try to avoid using too many colors and almost always use the same line thickness. There are plenty of ink variations in Notability for my needs. But the difference is slight and in my use not important enough to ignore the other application differences. It feels a bit smoother and more realistic to me. The ink system in GoodNotes is subtly better than Notability.
#NOTABILITY VS PDF EXPERT UPDATE#
But, I’ve switched to Notability since a recent update that adds handwriting recognition on top of Notability’s other more refined features. The advantage of GoodNotes has always been its excellent handwriting recognition and export.
I often need a combination of diagrams, text, and plain old doodles for meeting notes. GoodNotes is a terrific app for handwritten notes.
