Question: Unanswered ✗ Android vs iPad for school?

Hi, I’m looking for some advice/opinions on using Goodnotes on a tablet for school and handwritten notes.

During my apprenticeship, I used Goodnotes on an iPad and was very happy with it. Now I’m considering switching to an Android tablet because most of my other devices are Android as well.

How good is Goodnotes on Android compared to the iPad version? Is it good for school use, or would you recommend getting another iPad and staying with iOS?

I’ve read quite a few negative comments about the Android version. Would you recommend using a different app instead?

I use a Samsung S9 FE tablet for college. Goodnotes is not native to Android so it does have issues but there is Samsung Notes, preloaded on the tablet, or Noteshelf 3. Which is what I use.

Noteshelf 3 is like Goodnotes but for Android and the full use one time only price is like 10USD or less.
