[iMore Question]

I just got the iPad 6th gen for med school
I wish I could test which of the apps work better because both are not so cheap

Well, you have some options available to you. You can either
1. Do research on both apps and then choose the one you think is best suited for you.
2. Take a chance and just pick one to use then go and purchase it.
3. Use the free built-in Notes app and use the writing feature therein for jotting down notes.

I think the poster already knows those. He is specific about the Notability vs. Goodnotes 5. I have the Notability (on top of Default Apple Notes, of course) but do not have the other, so I cannot compare. Anybody?

Depends on what you want the app to do for you? What are your expectations, desires, needs for a note-taking app? Then we could do a better job of telling you the pros and cons of available choices.

Can you tell the OP which of the two works better for him or her because I cannot? I can only provide suggestions. Know what I mean?...

Isn't it eassentially what the OP is asking? I believe the post above yours (Ken Magel) is the right question and hope the OP would provide more info so that he could get more help :-)

I have no experience with either app but here's a recent review I ran across from the DailyTekk YouTube channel I follow comparing both apps. Hope this may help you.

I don't know what you are after but it's very likely your school has an Office 365 or G Suite license for you. If so OneNote has more features.

I also don't know what sort of notes app you want. There are other good choices. For many Drafts is great because of capture, formatting and now a Mac OS client.
