Finding access your notes gets easier with other improvements as well. There’s a new folder system where you can nest folders to organize your notes easier. With this new update, GoodNotes has added additional file management tools. It’s still plastic on glass, but in every way they can improve on those mediums, they have. I spent some time with the GoodNotes team at WWDC last year, and they explained how much time they had put into making the app feel more like writing on paper, and it shows. You can even see how the ink changes as you lift the Apple Pencil off the screen. This new version only increases their lead. I have always felt that GoodNotes had the most natural writing for the iPad. ![]() The best thing about the new version is the improved ink engine.

You can leave them right in GoodNotes or, if you are a fancy Day One user like me, export the completed page as an image to Day One. Once you complete customizing your form, export to PDF, and you can then import and edit them in GoodNotes. Enjoy, and let me know if you make something amazing with them.
