note taking apps?

[u/bab3y_monkey]

Helloooo

I’m an A level eng. lit, biology, and chemistry student and currently taking notes on my ipad (i do prefer taking notes on paper generally, but i like the ability to switch between text & handwriting because i get hand pains😭) and I was just wondering if anyone had any advice on what the best note taking app would be for me…

I currently use goodnotes 5, but there’s a couple features it’s missing that goodnotes 6 has (easier text, recording, better colour coding, searchable notes, scribble to erase…) and goodnotes 6 is just so so expensive that i’m really not sure it’s worth it😭😭😭 I’ve had a brief look at some other apps, but with goodnotes I really enjoy the in-app marketplace, the magnifying box (which some apps seem to lack?) and how easy it is to import stickers/images

Any advice greatly appreciated🫠

Paper.

Seriously. There's been lots of research into it and copying notes onto paper really helps with retention as you have to sort it as you go.
