GoodNotes was first released in 2011 for the iPad and has remained one of the top note-taking apps for Apple’s tablets. 12 years later, it has made its way to Android, albeit in beta for now. At the moment, the app will only be available to use on select Samsung Galaxy tablets that meet certain specifications. The official announcement also reveals that there are limited slots for those who want to give the beta version of the app a try.
GoodNotes Is Limited To Select Samsung Tablets
For now, the GoodNotes app is only available via “an online-first” experience and thus requires an internet connection to work. Users will also need a Google account to use the app. The beta version of the app limits the number of notebooks a user can create to just 20.
Those who own the app on iOS and Mac and want to sync their notes with the Android app will not be able to do so. And because the app is still in beta, it is expected that there will be bugs. Notes created on Android can be shared and viewed on any device with an internet connection.
Despite the limitations, the app is currently free to test. However, when it comes out of beta, it is expected to have a one-time in-app purchase that unlocks the full experience. The GoodNotes app has more than 50 note templates and a variety of pen tools with different color palettes and thicknesses.
While a stylus such as the S Pen is the best input device to use with the app, it also supports mouse input. The first version of the GoodNotes app for Android is scheduled for release this year, but there is no specific date yet.
