The advantage of Evernote is that you can also organise your notes with ‘notebooks’ and tags. Notability (currently £4.49) combines the functionality of ‘Notes’ and Adobe Acrobat Reader to let you create text and handwritten notes including photos, audio and website screenshots and annotate pdfs – with the added ability to sync to other iOS devices via the iCloud.Įvernote, which starts with a free account but also has paid plans (currently £19.99 or £34.99p.a.) works with Penultimate to let you create a wide range of note types (text, handwriting, photos, video, audio, webpages) and sync them with any web-enabled device. If you want more, and are prepared to pay for it, there are many apps to choose from, but we have compared a few. Notes can be organised into notebooks and sections and tags applied. OneNote will let you create text notes and diagrams/handwriting using the ‘draw’ option and add images and links into your notes. You can then use OneNote or Word for making notes that can be stored in the OneDrive cloud (each user has 1TB of storage).

#ANNOTATE APP PDF#
You cannot annotate pdf documents with Notes, but Adobe Acrobat Reader (also free) will do this. ‘Notes’ won’t automatically sync your notes across devices but you can add notes into other syncable apps such as Evernote or OneNote. This will let you create text notes, including adding images, and ‘sketches’ which could be diagrams or handwriting. IPads come with the ‘Notes’ app already installed. Do you want to use the same app for making notes and annotating documents or are you prepared to use different tools?.Do you want to add other media (images, sound recordings, video, web pages etc.) to your notes?.Is it enough to have typed notes or do you want to handwrite notes and add freehand diagrams?.For example, do you only want to make notes, or do you want an app that will let you organise your notes as well? Will you be keeping the notes on your device or do you want to sync them so that they are available with a web browser or other mobile device(s)? Additional questions to consider include: Make notes or organise notes?įirst, it is important to think about what you want or need to be able to do. There are many apps available to accomplish these tasks so we have been comparing some of them to help new iPad users to decide which to try. When academics and students start using an iPad some of the first things they want to be able to do are make notes (in lectures, at conferences or in meetings) and annotate pdf documents.
