I have downloaded the GN6, in earlier version GN5 one can add up to any no of colour for pen and can see at least 7 or 8 on iPad at a time but in new version only 4 or 5 can be seen at a time although space is available but one has to scroll the colours. Solving this issue (like earlier version ) will be of great help for iPad users.

 – 
rkv0026
 – 
2024-01-21
Version 6.2.23
The add page feature is awesome but it should not disturb the flow of the book. For example I chose horizontal scrolling and if I add a page, it should add the page vertically and not horizontally. And to tell the reader that there is a page added, a small popup should show below which tells the number of pages added. And the reason is that a reader adds the page to add better explanation and experience for that (book) page only. Adding new pager in between the book kind of make it messy. If this is a good idea, this feature should be added in goodnotes 6. 😅

It’s been a few months using Goodnotes now and I can say that this is the best note taking app out there, I believe. However, I suggest some improvements to be made in order to enhance the usability and usefulness, which are:
1. There should be an option to add more than 3 types of pens to your toolbox.
2. There should be an option to lock some of your notebooks with a password or PIN for increased privacy (especially for notebooks which might be used as journals or diaries, or for something more personal).
3. There should be an option to jump to the highlighted text/area (much like the option it has to jump between the pages while doing a search) based on the different colours, and an option save them at a separate place as well(like the page bookmark option).

Version 6.2.21
The app developers were selling the lifetime subscription at the time of Goodnotes 5, now after the launch of Goodnotes 6, they are not giving an upgrade to those who bought lifetime membership. If you avail the free upgrade, the features in Goodnotes 6 are very limited and would render the app worthless unless you buy an upgrade. Surprisingly, they are also selling a lifetime subscription for Goodnotes 6 now. They have also started to limit the features in the Goodnotes 5 app to push users to pay again for an upgrade. The word “LIFETIME” is a marketing gimmick, don’t fall for it. It is unethical practices like these that urge users to go towards piracy. Giving 2 stars only because the app still had the option to downgrade back to Goodnotes 5. The app has a store to buy digital stationery which offers only expensive products. Digital reduced the manufacturing cost and was supposed to be cheap, but with apps like Goodnotes, you can only imagine the rich to go paperless not the others.

I’ve been using this since I was a student. The fact that you can search through your notes with handwriting recognition was what blew me away back then. Top that up with the responsive and interactive UI, this is the best note-taking app for the iPad. I’ve recommended to many friends and each of them has loved it.
I have one important suggestion to make. Since I’m now using it to record meetings as well, sometimes I forget to stop recording and it keeps on recording till the next day. Maybe if there was a reminder or, it would be perfect if I could trim down a recording, that’d be great. Because right now I’m only stuck with deleting the recording. Please fix this issue.

Why no auto adjustment of text overflow ?

 – 
2023-11-16
Version 6.2.9
I’ve been using this app to write an essay. 40 pages in I need to update the second page, which resulted in text overflow and it created an additional page for just that 2 words. I ended up having to copy paste those two words on next page manually, which resulted in overflow of last two words on page 3. And the process continued for 40 pages straight. How does this app, which costs this much money, could lack such a basic feature to automatically update the pages in case of an overflow? Word does it. So it’s not like it’s a revolutionary new technology that needs to be developed!
Giving one star because there can’t be any lower. The app is a solid 4 otherwise but you can’t say you’re the best footballer, know all the techniques but you just can’t run. The most basic functionality of all is missing. Just WOW.

This app is mostly seen as to add flexibility to the existing study pattern. I have one suggestion. It often happens that we tend to lost while studying and end up spending more time per page as our thoughts wonder while studying. Hence, I suggest please add per page timer while creating a notebook. Each time the timer exceeds, the app will redirect to next page automatically . Going back to last page would require to unlock it only by writing, I WILL NOT REPEAT. Hence this will help to focus and maintain mechanical consistency by the help of the time allotted to each page. Note that the timer should be displayed in a small ribbon so that it should not catch unwanted attention.
Hope this feature would not only make the app more innovative but also help to complete the document in stipulated time. (Similar to adobe reader automatic scroll feature) only difference being the page changes at once when the timer exceeds the allotted time.

Excellent

I really loved the app. I was just looking for the app that converts our writing into the text form and this app does it. But introducing the text box every-time and adjusting it is little annoying to me which is similar to all the other apps though there is a shortcut to it. I agree that there is an option even without introducing text box we can write the whole page and it convert into text but it doesn’t have more font styles that was the thing I wanted to mention. Other thing that I wanted to mention was it would have been better if there were more pages with colours and daily planners for free of cost because we have already subscribed your app. Other than these two issues it is completely an excellent app compared to other apps. I agree that you can’t satisfy all the things that people need. But it was just my review.
I want rate it as 5 star but can’t do it. I hope you would look after my review.

Hey team, What’s happening??? I had a paid subscription for GoodNotes 5, now it shows you don’t have any subscription. Don’t understand. Due to which I had to rewrite the review downgrading the rating from 5 to 1 star. Please look into the issue. I’m unable to use paid features. My Initial Review: I like everything in GoodNotes5. One feature I feel which many would vouch for. I would like your team to add family sharing with max say 3 people of the family. To say about my situation, i, my dad and mom use apple products. And I keep few documents on this app, which are annotated and which my parents would want to refer. So adding this feature of family sharing would be of help. As only for limited usage, doesn’t make sense to buy for both my parents separately. It would be helpful.

Amazing app

This app is the best note taking app out there. There are so many minute features that make life easy while using this app. However, I do feel that I need the following things for the GoodNotes experience to be perfect: 1) continuous or infinite sheet. I wish there were a toggle option available for that. My flow charts are exhausting and long, and I need them on one sheet. 2) Ruler. I know that straight lines automatically will snap in position, but sometimes I want to draw a 2cm line and it would be so much easier with a ruler. 3) Ability to insert some space between 2 lines. It happens all the time that we come across now information and it needs to be on the relevant section on the page. Inserting rows or space between lines would be awesome. Micro writing is not always enough
4) PASSWORD PROTECTION: I can’t insist enough in the importance of this. But I think, this feature would be possible only with a continuous sheet.
You guys have already done a stellar job of creating this beautiful app, these additional features would make it even better.

The developers do not respect their paid customers

I paid for a one time purchase for GoodNotes 5 and expected that to be one time, I guess that was my fault for assuming that. The developers have effectively created 2 apps in 1 hounding paid users with adverts to upgrade and pay three times the price for Goodnotes 6. Not to mention it comes with the threat of removing support for GoodNotes 5 after a few iOS upgrades. As someone who loved using GoodNotes 5 and paid to support the developers as one of the very few notes apps offering an affordable one time purchase, this feels borderline scam-like with so much information regarding the update being inaccessible. As a student, as of now I have started looking for alternatives as I’m not willing to pay twice for the same app and lose the functionality I paid for in less than two years of installing the app.

Great app. What it does, it does greatly. I still feel the lack of a few features

1. Option to hide certain tools from the toolbar for those who don’t/rarely use them (text box, keyboard, images, shapes)
2. I feel like the title bar and tool bar take up too much space. The title bar hides itself on tapping when editing mode is off. I know that hiding the toolbar is senseless but It would be nice if you could allow hiding the TITLEBAR ONLY even when editing mode is on for a more immersive experience.
3. (Not necessary) I know the UI/UX is what gives its character to an app but I feel like a little modernisation will be greatly appreciated by the users.
Thank you for making this amazing study tool. <3

If you are a college student, working professional, preparing for any exam etc. trust me taking the premium version will not make you regret it. It’s just perfect in every aspect, I have been using this app from last 8 months and I never had any problem! I want to thank the creators for making such a wonderful app. So far so good!
Just one issue I want to put forward, when I add photos from my gallery it often gets detached from the page while I am writing something on the picture. Kindly provide a solution to this.
Overall I am super happy!

This app is designed well as a new user I feel that it helps me a lot. But lacks few functionality. 1. No scale to draw lines, although it has geometry recognition but still, scale is missing. 2. No option to add bulleted points, no arrow icons, curves option. 3. No option to full screen, except the colour palmette as it is In apple notes app.
4. If there could be a dock option to the top bar, it will help when one is reading the pdf or documents, this would eliminate the need to use another app to read documents
I like the folder organisation feature of the app, but feel it could be made better. It would be good if the app support just the reading mode like Apple Books, that would increase its use for the user to case to a higher extant

Great but can be improved

The application is better for note making and book reading as well. Has been very helpful for me so far
1. Enable creation of sub headings while making outlines for a document
2. The flow of ink pen can be improved in a similar manner to Apple Notes
3. The text recognition feature needs to be worked on in scanned documents, as the app could not recognise these in some docs.
Write-to-text feature is pretty good, however, changing the writing to a specific handwriting or font would be crazy, i suppose. Will be helpful in maintaining good-looking notes. Thank you.

More features please.

This isn’t my first note taking app not even second. I started taking notes with adonit styluses back in 2013. Just when adonit launched jot and note plus, I used it in on the bamboo app. Then progressed to notepaper before finally moving to GoodNotes in 2019. GoodNotes was a dream come true. I found a few good planners on Etsy to begin with and then a zillion more haha.
I would give this app 10 stars but I’ll stop at 5. Because we need more features and because there’s features are missing, it makes it so difficult to use. Layer locking, better undo options like with one finger doubt tap, better navigation.

Dear developer, I have been using this app for last one week and it’s really good for making notes. I would like to bring some limitations of this app in your notice and request you to kindly do the needful. We are able to add as many number of colour of pen, SV this but with respect to thickness of pain we have only limitation to 3. You are. Kindly requested to increase the thickness of pen to at least five option so that is time it’s not required to manually change the thickness of the pen. Just like we can add a number of colours we can also able to add a number of pen with wearing thickness in our ribbon. Thanks and regards, Ketan Sonkar.

So basically the audio feature is the right. The feature is not so good. It is not having editing of what do we say the name of the audio clip Siri just shows audio clip 12 and three like that but say I annotated on page 1 while giving the audio for that page and I want audio for page 3 where I am again gave some different audio so now how to differentiate between these two audios we don’t even have audio page numbers like you can do this thing a specific page number if you record something remain it to that page number on probably you can put a number page number in the audio clip instead of audio clip, 123 is like that and yeah probably you can even put page number or at least let us edit the name of the audio clip which it is not given here. So yeah that’s it. This feature should be there and if possible Night mode also you can add to the app that’s it. I guess thank you

Good notes helps me in taking various notes. I am a teacher. I have to keep many notes for lecture preparations so it helps me a lot. A few things come to my mind 1. If I write, suppose, a 200 pages note in good notes and in such a big file, suppose I have to scroll fast from Fifth page to 160th page how can I do that? Is there any fast scrolling option in good notes? 2. I have to use alphabets and Numbers in my typing all together,can we do it more easily or switch between numbers and alphabets? how can I use them in my chemistry notes while writing ? Because on the keyboard I don’t find numbers when alphabets are visible and when Numbers are visible alphabets are not visible, can we have some other keyboard available. 3. Sometimes, I use these good note (handwritten) files, as my reference, in PDF format in my mobile but page numbers cannot be generated or automatically page numbering is not given in good notes, if it is possible please let me know how to give Page-numbers in file. Thanks.

Not for reading PDF

It’s a good app for note taking but it lacks many features for pdf reading. There’s no option to select an entire paragraph and highlight or underline it with the colour of your choice. Only yellow highlight option is available in the popup when an entire paragraph is selected. Otherwise each line has to be individually highlighted and underlined. Multiple slides/pages of a pdf can’t be viewed on a single screen. This is very useful when viewing pdf made from powerpoint slides/notes given by college professors. These slides hardly have 4-5 sentences on each page and it makes sense to view 4 of these on one screen simultaneously. Flexcil (competing app) allows viewing upto 4 slides on 1 screen. Some features can be added for note taking as well. I would like to paste copied text on a page without making a text box like in OneNote. This would make the app more popular amongst coders. This review was written on 25th Feb 2023. I hope these suggestions are accepted and by Feb 2024 we get to see these changes in the app.

After thorough research i selected GoodNotes 5 as my companion note making app for my study purposes. First of all good job and kudos to the team for making a great app. I primarily use the app for making notes for competitive exam preparation and i need all parts of my each note accessible every time quickly. I handwrite most of my notes and truth be told search functionality on handwritten notes isn’t that great. So instead the workaround i use is to type star or something searchable text beside whatever will be needed frequently like formula’s or important points. So if the team could enhance the handwriting recognition it would elevate whole experience to next level.
Next improvement i can suggest is that if the team could incorporate text recognition in the camera app within the application itself. At present it’s difficult to copy text captured using camera app of the system and then pasting in the notes app.
Wrapping up with big thanks for the whole team for making such a great app.

This is a good application no doubt but i am facing several problems and these are really irritating. I choose this application over notability but now i am thinking whether i have done right or wrong. 1. First and foremost the most irritating problem that i am facing is the freezing of page while writing. I am not able to move the page in any direction i can only zoom in or out just a little bit. Then i have to close the app to solve this problem 2. When i try the draw and hold feature there comes another problem. When i draw a horizontal circle it just gets titled and can’t stay the way i drew it. 3. When i draw a semi circle line and i put an arrow tip at its end, it was supposed to be the same way as drawn but unfortunately it gets straightened and it becomes a straight line with distorted arrow tip. If you can solve these things it would be worth buying for me…Thanks

This app is fantastic, the one feature that we seriously want is the colour fell option. I am a zoology teacher and I use this app for teaching and learning, thus I have to draw a lot of diagrams and figures. Thus it is a painful task to try to precisely fill colours.
Another thing which I’d think is the zoom level indicator, when we zoom in to write or draw something there should be some zoom indicator which will show the percentage zoom level. Not knowing the exact zoom results in the words of different size while writing.
It would be of great help for now, if these features are involved in the next update. There is always a room for improvement.
Thanks again for the fantastic app again.

We can scroll/ Change a page both vertically and horizontally but in both the cases say the situation is that I am annotating in a
pdf document what I want is 1- the page to utilise full screen by default and in this app. For the time being the page leaves by default some space in both left and right and hence it under-utilised the screen unless manually set to full screen. 2- while scrolling pages be it horizontally or vertically the page should remain fixed to automatically fill the full screen what happens in GoodNotes is that the page upon scrolling will unnecessarily leave the fixed full screen and when we remove the finger from screen after making the scrolling gesture it would go back to normal. So like notability please implement this feature that page should not move left or right and then go back to normal upon scrolling or changing page. Otherwise very good app. Regards.

The app is great. I researched a lot between Notability and Goodnote 5. And finally came to realise some features impossible to give away by not choosing Goodnote 5. The App is awesome for note taking, second to none for me. The best part is that it is equivalent to Notability, another prominent note-taking app, yet it is so cheap. The yearly subscription of Notability is expensive than lifetime purchase of Goodnote 5. Finally, there's something I would want to be resolved that I face using the app. The latency is higher than the actual latency of apple pencil. I would like to have lower latency than what it is now.

I’ve updated my GoodNotes in last week. After that it has started to crush 3-4 times per day. Please fix this problem in next upcoming update. Edited: After this I’ve updated 2 times. But still my problem hasn’t been solved. And now sometimes when I stop the app and reopen it’s doesn’t show any document for 30-40 minutes. For my academic purposes I’m very much dependent on this app. Please solve this as soon as possible.🙏
This is resolved.
In previous version my battery was draining and fetching heating issue while using GoodNotes. Then I got updated version telling that it will be resolved. But for me it hasn’t been resolved yet.

Good notes 5 is rectifying its drawback. Which is a very good sign to continue as a number one app. It improved page crashing issue and it improved scroll on the page issue. Good notes 5 is good in the aspects of page mergers and folder management Still there is a need for improvement. 1. There should be included bullet points for the content we type in the text styling like one note or notability. Please rectify/include the in the respective versions. Below issues are resolved in updated version 1. While editing, when we copy content from a page, the page is being stuck after selecting text styling. It mean I am unable to paste copied content since page is not responding. In order to get response I again need to close the good notes and open it to paste. (Issue resolved) 2. Scroll on the page is not working as one note (issue resolved)

Although i have been using Good notes from last 1.5 yrs now and i found it to be the only best apk even more than notability for your every work may it be note-taking, reading books, writing or whatever. But overall of all these i would like to suggest some major improvements like
1) It is not able to read all pdf files. Sometimes images are missing from the original files that i uploaded to goodnotes apk like in case of uploading books.
2) Their should be an option of auto font conversion for whatever i write during taking notes or making comments.
3) like when we are reading books which has no place left with text and we find something important to write there, so there should be an option for noting down like just tapping and then a notepad like thing comes up, u note ur points and then it sticks there for future reference.
4) Since being a Medical Doctor student i need to make a lot of diagrams and colouring those is a tedious task. So their should be an option to just fill them with colour of choice in one go.

Data lost

Isn’t preserving your precious data the single most important feature of a note-making app?
I removed iCloud sync, as I have done with every other app, and it removed all my documents that were in collaboration with others.
This should be the first caution message the user should get while using a shared document. I have lost my recent contributions to the notes I have gained access to, if gaining access to them (or even remembering them) isn’t already a pain in the a**.
Not to mention, even if you find those documents, the data takes hours to appear.

Let me address one flaw. iCloud backup

 – 
gearless_Joè

Uploading and restoring to iCloud is a hassle.
HOW YOU MAY ASK?
Tuning on iCloud sync over in settings does as intended but the process isn’t smooth at all. As I finished backing up my data over to iCloud, following issues occurred,
1. GREY DOCUMENTS IN DUPLICATE.
Which actually are the backup file that are being downloaded. It is not practical in general use sense that one would need to download files in the same device though which backup was uploaded together with the original files. The process should stop after uploading the backup and should not proceed with downloading the same backup that has just been uploaded.
2. FILES DISAPPEARED AS SOON AS BACKUP FINISHED.
All of my documents disappeared, currently my app is empty.
3. STUCK IN “SYNCING YOUR DOCUMENTS OVER ICLOUD…”
I have an excellent internet speed and connection, still I am not able to download 1GB of backup for the last hour. I am stuck in the loop. I have double checked my internet and also did the novice restart and reinstall tricks, nothing worked.
thankfully I made a local as well as google drive backup. Which in case the iCloud backup doesn’t work, I will restore.
I will update the review in future.

Absolutely fabulous work making this application so student friendly. But personally i feel it lacks some support in external backing up feature. Like it would be better for me if i could backup my documents over an external hard drive or pendrive without deleting the previous backup… like just updating it instead of exporting over and over. I feel it should be included as a paid app. Also it would also be comfy if i could add more pens and highlighters to the bar above. Also the yellow highlighter has faded colour in presets when in use. Rest, just awesome. Nothing more, just perfect.

This app is literally the best note taking app ever. I purchased this app and boom! It had creative notebook covers,fonts for typing, many options for writing, zoom option for writing even better! I give this app a five star rating because of it’s friendly note taking process. Whoever’s new to note taking , should definitely purchase this instead of notability. I purchased that useless app once [ 6 months ago] and just wasted my money. It should decrease it’s rate cause it has literally [ literally] no comparison to this app that I am reviewing and also it works great with my magic keyboard. The typing is really nice as well.
Thanks, for reading my review. Hope this helped you.

Good Notes literally changed the way I study. I was accidentally introduced to this application during the lockdown when I was stuck at home without any of my books or notes. Good notes makes studying fun. The syncing, handwritten notes, infinite number of folders, beautiful covers, everything is really effortless.
Keep up the good work.
P.S There is just one error I would like to bring to your notice, Every 10mins a message keeps popping up that my notes aren’t backed up on the cloud and the process has failed. Even when Indocso manually, it fails.

The application overall is great, thanks for working on my past feedback and making them available.
The features that I would love to see are:
1. Paper-sizes - like many students I annotate on lecture slides - if there is less space then I tend to add a new blank page. But GoodNotes only has limited no. of size options available. That makes the blank page different size than the lecture slides which doesn't look great after export. I am pointing it again just because of the fact that it’s so easy to implement yet missing.
2. There are lot of pdfs with bookmarks, cross references, indexes etc. But when these pdfs are imported all those features (not the text but the links) are lost, it would be great if those could remain the same allowing pdf like navigation with the ease of writing anywhere.
3. Cross referencing feature: sometimes feel the need to be able to refer to some past notes, if a cross referencing feature is added such that it can take me directly to those it will be great. (Would prefer to see both together)
Based on the quality and reliability this is a 5 star app for me though I am making the stars count as it’s a paid app and hence I have lot of expectations.

This is the first ever purchase I have made on App Store. I don’t usually go for paid apps often but while the Notes is a great free app, GoodNotes provided some extra features I wanted in note taking. It’s got better interface with more options at a nominal me time free (for Mac and iPad) and the versatility in uploading notes/notebooks and templates is very worth it.
I do wish they had more pen options. Fountain pen feels weird to use so I use only ball and brush but I would like more options. The pull to add page feature is pretty useful but a better way would be to add an extra page automatically when the last page is in use.
Recording feature would also make this a better app. And sync to audio feature for notes (like notability).

Bug with Auto Backup

bytestorm95

I have auto back up functionality turned on for GoodNotes. I use one drive for business for backing up my Documents. But sometimes when the app crashes it starts uploading all the documents again, instead of just the ones which have changed since the last upload. And this makes the app repeatedly crash, as it fails to upload all the files during the time when the app is open. This causes the memory usage goes too high. And to fix this I have to keep the app open without working on it and make the iPad stay unlocked until it finishes uploading all the documents again.

Well this app is almost everything I wanted when I started digital note taking. As a medical student, writing on pdfs and labelling images, making diagrams and shapes, properly highlighting my notes, shifting pages from one notebook to another, are amazing functions. The app is wonderfully organised into files and notebooks, and there are so many types of covers and page types to choose from. I prefer the yellow sheets as they are easier on my eyes. The features are certainly worth the price. Do try to add audio, gif and video features within the notes, like we had in MS PowerPoint. It would be wonderful for students to record videos and audio’s of teachers and patient or subject videos.

Mind maps, smarter Flashcards, cross platform

Perhaps being the leader in its market makes GoodNotes less innovate because less popular competitors offers richer features. The Flashcards seem cumbersome to make and are no replacement to a pc at this point. Margin note is a strong research alternative to good notes.
Many a student are driven to the iPad because of its apps and abilities. However reluctantly so as a good deal of us still own windows PCs. Competitors like Neon are closing in on GoodNotes by offering text recognition and cross platform access.
But that said I would also acknowledge what it does offer which is fantastic: the organisation, writing recognition with the ability to recognise German and other foreign languages with special characters. Good job, please keep innovating.

It was a brilliant app excluding some hiccups.
1st of all: if I’m importing any document, it is opening as a new one instead of in the same file after the last page as it is intended....despite the changes in the settings.......this might be a glitch that I’m personally facing....please help me resolve it; otherwise it’s painstakingly difficult for me to use the app......
2nd: if we add some page of different template (from say, a different app/ from any website), the border isn’t adjusted properly, unlike Notability.....it’s very annoying to use as the display starts to kinda move up-down-sideways & breaks the very purpose of swift reading & writing.....
3rd: the audio recording feature was expected of GoodNotes long ago...still waiting.......
4th: at the time of importing pictures, we can’t select multiple images, unlike Notability.....besides, the image adjustments are difficult to match.....
5th: Please add some stickers and sticky notes feature....it helps a lot for recap during study revision.........
These are not mere complaints.....YOU CAN ONLY EXPECT BETTER FROM WHOM YOU ACTUALLY BELIEVE IN & RESPECT......
Life’s been lot easier with you GoodNotes.......
I will eagerly wait for an early response from your end....
Hope ‘my hope’ doesn’t go in vain......

I love the writing experience on this app but it could be a lot better. For one I would like to be able to draw a straight line or a simple circle without having to switch my tool. Also when using the vertical scroll it was seamless. So that even when I’m at the end of a page, I can still write on it on the top 60% of my iPad. Having to add a new page means I need to write on the bottom which is just so uncomfortable. This might honestly be the reason I stop using the app. Please please allow seamless scrolling just so we can always write on the top. Another minor change is I think the thickness of high lighter could be increased. The thickest setting isn’t as thick as I want it to be.

Everything was good only..........

I’ve been using goodnotes 5 from 6 months I’m impressed with its user interface and all the tools, only thing it differentiates with another leading note taking app is audio recording, I expect goodnotes team to make it come true soon, I am a student now everything was online classes and online learning, so when we where taking notes audio recordings along with notes help us feel comfortable while late revision and if anywhere we feel any confusion we can Just listen to audio at that particular instant, this was available on other app but it’s UI is not such stable, hope we get that option on goodnotes too.

First of all it is good for note taking but having said that it’s not that user friendly as m still struggling to find as to how can I delete a page from a notebook I don’t need, there’s an option to clear the page but no visible option to delete it. The highlighter colours a little off and sometimes it acts very fidgety and does some actions you didn’t intend to be done e.g while trying to adjust the position of an image inside a document it copies it multiple times & it also closes and goes back to previous page while you are trying to save an image. Hope the developers fix these bugs & life becomes easier with this otherwise cool app

Firstly I’m a medical student so i have to take lots of notes and of course in the way that i have found any topic very easily and quickly good notes makes it possible for me..
Writing experience is very good and somewhat your writing improves ie looks more prettier than it looks on paper!
Pdf editing is so nice but yes i have sometime experience a little lag where screen just freezes and i have to reopen the app but yeah it occurs only twice yet so not a big issue other than that it’s very nice app and i highly recommend it can’t say about notability as i haven’t used it yet... but if you are the one who takes lots of notes with Apple Pencil and want your notes in one place like me this app is for u and it worth every penny till now😁

Pros: love the unlimited organisation system, the templates r good with adequate variety, screen select and screen shot feature is great, quick access to photos good.
Cons: Can be a better writing experience but not a deal breaker but other competitor apps have better writing experience, draw shapes is a separate tool and it would have been better if the shapes were drawn with a long press of the pencil on the screen,
crashes some times when importing documents especially directly from web or pen drives.
Improvements: The camera tool can be made better by adding scan like feature ( like in cam scanner) to on the spot edit the photo, ability to add space between notes can be a handy idea.

I would like to give my word of thanks to all your team out there, who i believe is doing a fabulous job. I am completely satisfied with the gn5 and also with the support team.
Since you guys have been innovating and improving the application from time to time without sacrificing the quality. I would like to propose 3 simple features which would take your application miles ahead of Notability.
1. Adding a button callled “insert or Remove extra space” :
This feature is similar to the one used in One note from microsoft.
2. Adding tag feature.
This feature is looks simple but really helps us student in a big major way.
3. Interlinking different part of the canvas via arrow marks.
This feature is available liquid text. Which allows you to link a particular part of canvas to another part of canvas.
Finally i can understand that the above changes require writing complex coding which itself requires investment of time, money and resources.
So we dont want it for free anyways. You can charge us additionally for such add ons in a reasonable manner along with free trial period. Those who Might require it will seriously consider and appreciate in a big way.
I hope you wold take the above into consideration and pass my word to the senior management team.

I don't usually buy apps for such a huge price! But I took a chance on GoodNotes since I was looking to go paperless for all my needs. And I don't regret it one bit! The app is fluid, syncs well with my Mac and schedules daily backups to the cloud so that my notes are protected and can eb accessed anywhere. I'm happy with the selection of pens, highlighters and tools. The lasso tool is a lifesaver! I use GN5 as my note-taking and PDF reading/annotating app. No complaints so far except for a small gripe. Sometimes the app doesn't pick up the first letter of your word when you start writing. Once you lift the pencil, it is fixed but its a small annoyance nonetheless. I hope the devs will fix it soon.
Thank you for a wonderful app

One question why isn’t there any full screen editor option it will make writing more convenient. Every second day you guys provide an update but don’t fix any of the problems above. Just an advice

Great, but with a few glitches.

The app is up to the mark in making paper digital, I absolutely love it to make notes- great format, anything can be literally moved anywhere and overall it works very well.
Though it does hang sometimes, but fortunately I haven’t lost any data until now.
Needs one major fix- It keeps crashing after I import a particular PDF file and I have to delete that file in order to use the app.I think it’s a bug and I’ve emailed the details to support@goodnotes. Really hoping it gets fixed.
Also it would be amazing if I could move things between pages. Please add it soon Goodnotes.

An excellent piece of work

In my opinion Goodnotes is an exceptionally good piece of work by the concerned developers where the freedom of user over their choice of style and artwork is of utmost importance. I have using it quite frequently to write notes and occasionally drawing some images without any headache and difficulty over finding tools to execute the task I assign to my IPad Air 3. However, I shall like to see the vector graphics integration into it which will make it standalone app for scientific community, no matter what they do. Apart from that technical aspect it is a very good app and I prefer its page by page structure that make it preferable over Microsoft’s onenote.

Disappointed

I use goodnotes 4 to store my textbooks and to take notes. I was able to search text in that version. But goodnotes 5 cannot search printed text. It can recognise handwritten notes which is very good and unlike other apps but the basic printed text recognition doesn’t work. Very disappointed. Please change this soon. All the pdf’s open really slow. It’s not my iPad that’s slow. If the app has poor performance in my iPad pro 2018 version, I wonder how smaller ones will handle this.
Post update review- Thank you Goodnotes for listening. Search works just fine now. This app shall continue to be my daily driver.

Always issue with rendering

I love this app. Its best note taking app but with updates which focus on adding new or goodnotes 4 features, rendering always takes the hit. With every few update opening of document and pages seems slow. On zooming, letters takes time to look what they suppose to be looked especially if document size is getting bigger in one session upon which i have to exit app from multitasking and reopen app. I think it is because of undo feature which keeps getting bigger with writing hence reopening frees up that memory. Anyway goodnotes team with every update please always optimise rendering of documents specially when it is getting bigger with writing because it is at its core a writing app and if rendering is slow meaning whole purpose of note taking is failing to serve its purpose. Rendering was great in some version < 5.0.20

New improved version for good notes lovers

I have been waiting for the update eagerly. Finally it's here. I'm not dissapointed. It's really improved. It's so use friendly. Everything is available in single tap. 3 pen size and colors available in the top panel. Eraser has got an option for erasing highlights only and to erase single stroke. One more pen type : brush stroke added. And the most awaited update of including vertical scrolling. Lot of templates added. The go to page no. facility seems to be working now. Categories now changed to folders. It would have been nice if there's an option to sort by type. Please enable go to last page and cover option. Kindly consider AUDIO RECORDING , GIF support, image editing. One more interesting thing that I didn't expect is the shape or polygon icon now recognize our handwriting so they don't reshape it; Earlier I need to uncheck the icon to start writing again but now I don't need to. That's a remarkable update 👏. I don't like the blue top panel. It remembers me other cheap notebook available in the store. Old panel color or white would be nice.
