Pros
The interface is great, the personalization in notes is excellent, the price is right, and the handwriting is exquisite. Overall GoodNotes is a 10/10 product, highly recommended.
There are some excellent features, like the ability to resize certain portions or screenshot parts of my textbook and add it to my notebook. Also a good app for signing documents.
I also heavily utilize the document scanning feature, which allows me to save important passages from books or process important official documents that I need to send someone.
Cons
The only complaint I have with this software is that things that are hyperlinked in pdfs don't stay hyperlinked once I import it into Goodnotes.
The tools are frequently useless when I try to draw a star or hexagon, pentagon and these kinds of shapes. Also, if you can include the layer function for drawing purposes.
The main cons it's the simple fact that there's no GoodNotes on Windows or Android. It's also not possible to link notes between pages which can get a little disorganized in big files.
