the best in the business. too bad it is not available for Android tablets
Works almost as a paper notebook only better (can copy text, can paste images without printing them first, can reorder pages, can use different backgrounds for different pages, etc etc.)

I like Goodnotes, because it provides a really nice user-friendly environment.
This software is perfect for taking notes and it is a lot of fun to read and structure texts with it. New features are also added regularly, so it is always evolving.
Simple, touch focused, digital note-taking. For a while, there was no competition. Now, open-source competition is out-pacing this apps development when it comes to the actual note-taking experience on desktop. For one, this app is STILL locked onto apple systems. The Mac App needs desktop features such as proper keyboard shortcuts for more than the basic tools.
can it be used with wacom??
Very smooth on iPad... I liked it a lot!
