GoodNotes in Brief
Why use GoodNotes?
Beading Treasures is in no way affiliated with GoodNotes, we love it and it is the app that we use. It also won the IPad app of the year award for 2022.
GoodNotes is an annotating app that, when using the IPad, allows you to plan with an Apple Pencil, just like using a traditional paper planner. But so much better!
You can still use GoodNotes on your Mac but type in your info instead of writing in, you could also use Xodo on Android devices.
You can download GoodNotes for free from the Appstore to try it out the only difference is that you will be limited to importing only 3 PDF files.
And if you haven’t yet experienced our Digital Beading Planners and want a sneak preview of what they are like, download a Sample Notebook and test it out.
