Handwritten Notetaking for iPad

Is there an app that will let me take handwritten notes with a stylus on iPad?

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.4.11)

I know this an old discussion but I read through all the posts and nobody mentioned this app for ipad:

Notability


It's great. I used it for General College Chemistry last semester. I use it on an ipad MINI not a full sized iPad 🙂


My Professor puts up Powerpoints, saved as PDF or original format, and students d/l those from the electronic blackboard.


I used a stylus to take handwritten notes on them. You can then sync the app with either Dropbox or Google Drive so they're always available.


It's a great app and as I said I use an iPad Mini. There was quite a bit of zooming in/out to put my notes exactly where I wanted them but it was no big deal. I like Notability better than Paper (app) or Penultimate (app).


It's only a couple bucks.
