  • Very good app

    By V.EKR
    I find this app to be very useful. The features are great and the buttons are very intuitive, *easy to access* and easy to use! I would like to request a feature though: I often edit documents on my iOS devices while siimultaneously reviewing them on my Mac, but about 1 out of 4 times, the information takes more than 20 mins to sync. I have resorted to creating a new document to force it to sync, so a button to force synch would be great. Thank you!
  • GoodNotes: A Decorative Tool, Not for Serious Work

    I was nearly ready to switch from Notability to GoodNotes due to Notability's glitches. However, GoodNotes has one significant flaw: it doesn't handle long text well. You have to jump through hoops to copy and paste lengthy text from one document to another. I had to switch between the pen and typewriter tools just to carry text over page by page. This is incredibly time-consuming, especially when I'm dealing with transcripts that can run over 10 pages of client chats. It's shocking that after paying almost $30 for this app, copying long text is still problematic. GoodNotes seems built for handwriting, not as a true digital notebook where you can seamlessly copy and paste text. This defeats its purpose for me. Even with Notability's glitches, I can still work faster than with GoodNotes. I often have to jump from one meeting to another and don't have time for these extra steps. Importing PDFs is also challenging, as it only brings in the first page, requiring extra steps to get the entire document imported. For a handwritten planner or diary, GoodNotes is fine, but it's not suitable for serious work or study—it's more of a decorative tool.
  • Was my favorite until 6

    I bought the app, I loved the app, and today - nothing I do will let me log in. I was able to downgrade back down to 5 and had no account showing in which to log out of. I've been signing in with my Apple ID since purchasing - and 6 doesn't recognize my apple ID. I cannot upgrade to 6 even from scratch, I'm being told it looks like I had a previous account and I should find the original login - which was my Apple ID. Very frustrating, I have quite a few notebooks and work documents.
  • Love it so far

    I’ve been using this for classes and general note taking for about a week now and love it. I can’t find where to turn off the spell check without telling it to ignore the suggestions several times and getting it to ask if I’d like to turn it off for the document. I would also really appreciate if it detected when I’m just writing number or equations and not keep popping up suggestion bubbles as I’m writing. Maybe the setting it there but I can’t find it after looking for awhile. Tested the battery drain with this app and it seems pretty good. Overall, it’s about the same as a web browser where viewing is very low drain and scrolling increases it a few watts. When recording, it actually doesn’t take up much more battery, maybe a watt or two. Same with playing back a recording, but it increases drain a lot to turn on noise suppression (by about 5 watts), which is really needed to cut out tapping noises. It also can cut out the lecturers voice which can obviously be a big problem. Hopefully they can work on that.
  • Can’t even upgrade

    I keep kept the same error message that I have a different account but I can’t remember what it was and it doesn’t tell me the email. I checked website and can’t seem to reach support. I really wanted to try this app but I’ll have to go with notability since I can’t seem to login and see premium options.
  • NEED HELP!!!!

    I looked over your website and did not find anyway to contact you about my issue. I have read through the Q/A and troubleshooting for my particular problem however it still will not work. I purchased a digital planner that works with your app, I have uploaded the planner and can go from read/edit mode however when in edit mode I am still not able to toggle through the monthly tabs in the planner as it shows you can in one of your responses. I NEED HELP!!!!
  • OK but buggy

    By Jfhjfjhfihffjhgon
    This program is usable and helpful. However, I have found it to be very buggy. For example, when trying to create links to different pages in my journal, the display does not show the content of the pages after the first screen. Some links I created magically disappeared. and I just experienced the software placing text. I cut and paste on one page also duplicated on another page over the top of my notes for that page. I could not undo it. However, when I turned it off and reopened the document the text was only on the correct page. Like I said, very buggy.
  • Zoom mode is trash. So is OCR.

    By jkratz
    Longtime GN user. Please fix auto advance in zoom mode. It has literally been garbage for years. The size of the auto advance area changes size for no apparent reason and often I'm writing a long word in longhand and end up writing blind because once you leave that blue area while writing you cant see what you're doing. Might work great for block lettering but I dont write that way. OCR for longhand is pure garbage. This app used to use MyScript for that like Notability and MyScript's own Nebo. That is bar none the best OCR out there, nearly flawless, whether youre writing longhand or in block. What GN has now is garbage for longhand. Again might work great for block lettering but I dont write that way.

  • Need to improve

    If the presentation mode is available with a lot of colours it will be very amusing. Moreover please add arrow to point something which is available in notebility and the app will become inevitable if the note organising system is changed. Please do these things .
