I was sooo excited because I knew I could use it for school and it would be a lot easier then hauling around my skinny Macbook Air.
However now on to the review I bought the GoodNotes app for around $3.99. I looked at a lot of other ones and this is just the one I decided would be best for me.
So what can you do with the GoodNotes app
1. The main thing (which i'm sure you can already guess) I write all my notes for my online class on this app.

| This is what the front of the Chapter looks like. The design in one you can pick from. |
 |
| This is what you can do instead of swiping through each page. You get an over view of them all. |
 |
| This is the "home" where all your notebooks are located |
There are parts that are really important and I don't feel the need to write it down. So I simply open a text box and type away.
 |
| This is what it looks like if you use a stylus pen. You can also upload google pictures and add them in. These notes are from Child Psychology. |
 |
| I took a picture of the notes I had taken on paper and just uploaded them in to there own notebook in the app. |
My favorite part about this app is you can change the type of paper you want. You can have lined, graph, music, plan type of paper. I use it for math I'll draw my graphs, print them out and turn the graphs in with my homework.
 |
| You can also had shapes, you just draw one and it forms into a straight one. |
We also have vocabulary for my math class, however; it's not required for the assignments but we still have to learn it for the test. So what I do it take pictures of the questions and just write the answer in using my stylus pen. Again why write a bunch of stuff when you can take a picture.
This is what it looks like when you are writing (the easier way).
The blue box shows up at the bottom. This is where you write at.
This is helpful because it doesn't pick up your hand when you write (at least how I write).
A blue box will also pop up once you write to the middle and what you do is just start writing in the blue box and it will take you to the beginning, end, or a new line of the page. It basically prevents you from having to move the blue box around to keep writing.
Something else I do is I will take pictures of the homework I'm about to turn in. I do this because I turned in 3 math assignments and needed them to study with for the test that was two days later. So I obviously wasn't going to get those assignments back, but his worked just as well.
I will also keep pictures of work outs I want to do and I keep track of my plan of study. I recently changed my major and needed somewhere to keep track of all my classes.
It's a great app! I use it everyday for homework, exercising, and to watch some Netflix.
This is where technology has its advantages.
