There is also a trio of new gestures when using the Apple Pencil. With Scribble to Erase, just scribble it out and continue writing. Circle to Lasso allows you to select anything by drawing a circle around it with your pen. The app now also recognizes and converts math equations.

Users can now customize the size and color of a notebook template. You can also change the colors of folders.

Goodnotes 6 is designed for the iPhone, iPad, and Mac. It’s a free download on the App Store now. The free version allows you to create up to three notebooks.
