Its fountain pen feels like the brush pen (my favourite) in GoodNotes. Each time I tried switching to GoodNotes, I couldn’t finish writing a page of notes without my hand hurting. I never understood why I couldn’t write in GoodNotes for a long time. Great writing toolĪ third, but minor, decision for my switch was the handwriting feel in Noteful. Hopefully, our developer can add it to the app. So, I don’t really need that feature as often. However, I don’t record much audio these days anyway. I do miss the feature in Notability, though, the animations, and especially the ability to skip through the audio from your notes. It syncs to notes-the best kind of audio recording in a note-taking app. The second reason Noteful was a perfect replacement for Notability was its audio recording feature. Predictable apps have no surprises, which translates to fewer distractions in a workflow. That is not to say the app is perfect it just means that everything (good and bad) you experience in the app is predictable. Noteful is very stable, so much so that we have yet to see a bug. An unstable app is, therefore, not hard to spot. However, because we try apps so much, we constantly deal with a lot of bugs. As a general rule, we don’t focus on bugs when reviewing apps in the hope that developers will fix them, which they do. First of all, the app is as stable as Notability even GoodNotes is not that stable. There are two main reasons Noteful stole my heart in an instant. My top reasons Noteful is as stable as Notability

Let’s go through the reasons Noteful was able to completely replace Notability in my workflow. Mostly because ZoomNotes is very complicated and requires time to learn, which I simply didn’t have at the time. There was a time I switched to ZoomNotes, but that was a short-lived transition. I had been trying to replace Notability for years.
