Goodnotes was/is my go to notes app on my iPad. It was excellent bang for the buck with a once off payment. I used it for any handwritten meeting notes, and also if I needed to sketch diagrams for anything.
Now it’s getting stated with testing on Android in a limited-seat beta. Participants get full access to the app for free during the test period (the iOS version has some features behind a paywall), but there are still a couple big limitations here.
Maybe the biggest right now is that the GoodNotes beta only works on Samsung Galaxy tablets with an 8-inch display or larger, and at least 3GB of RAM. Enthusiastic redditors point out that this is a Progressive Web App (PWA), which could be detrimental to the overall user experience (while also needing constant internet access).
GoodNotes plans to add support for more Android tablets in the future, but makes it clear the Android app is separate from the iOS version. Unfortunately, that means that notes made on the former won’t sync with the latter, taking a lot of the air out of this new release.
So yes, far from perfect right now on Android. On Android, I’ve actually already been using Sketchbook and been pretty happy with it. So for me, it will come down to a comparison between those two.
