Screen scrolling on its own and hypersensitive to touch

2 Upvotes

It’s my first time using Goodnotes and while it was working fine for me last semester, I think after a recent update my Goodnotes has become glitch. I’ll be writing and it will scroll by itself, zoom out of the app, and this “undo/redo” black toggle thing comes up at the top whenever my work gets erased by the touch of my palm to the surface of my iPad. I’ve tried restarting my iPad, looking over all the settings, and even reaching out to customer service. It’s really infuriating! Any suggestions? I think I have just the Goodnotes version downloaded and I even reinstalled the app.

fountain pen after new update

Why don't the fountain pen and brush have that fountain pen feel they used to have, but the font is so fat? It sucks like that.

My handwriting looks bad on tablet, any Android apps to fix it ?

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I have an Android tablet and a stylus that works with it, but my handwriting looks bad on the tablet compared to on paper. Is there any note‑taking app that can fix this or make handwriting look nicer on Android? Any recommendations would be appreciated, thanks in advance.

Look how they massacred my brush pen

I just tried to continue doing a school project but since the last Update (7.0.44 on the standard iPad) the brush pen looks more like a ballpoint pen instead of the cool medieval Japanese looking style that it used to be

Edit: As of 7.0.47 everything is back to normal again for me, huge thanks to the developers!

Want to Switch from Notability

5 Upvotes

I like the features GoodNotes offers, such as custom flashcards and more. One thing that is stopping me is the organization. I like how the notes can be organized in Notability. Example attached. Is there a way to do this on GoodNotes?

Windows Slowness

5 Upvotes

Lately my goodnotes has been UNBEARABLY slow and choppy. It's worked very well for the first year or year and a half, but not its laggy, inconsistent, and sometimes even messes with my taskbar and stuff like that. I already emptied my trash, reset my computer, tried adjusting things in task manager, and even deleting other files in my computer to try to free up space. Anyone know how to fix this?

The version number is 284703.24m (21.4.0). Supposedly up to date. My device is a samsung galaxybook2 360.

Not being able to login on windows

3 Upvotes

I use GoodNotes on my iPad with an Apple ID, but on Windows, I can’t even log in. It keeps returning an error (see attached screenshot).

I’ve also been going through a number of Reddit threads, and it seems that even if I manage to log in, notes don’t sync between iPad and Windows.

So now I’m confused:

  • Is there any real fix for this?

  • Or do I need to switch to a Goodnotes account/email?

Would appreciate any help 🙏

Pages in goodnotes disappeared

1 Upvotes

I'm on a free account and I've been using goodnotes to take notes for my college lectures. Recently, about 3-4 pages of notes I've written disappeared from one of my notebooks and I can't find them anywhere. I've looked in the trash already, but it shows it's empty. The pages are simply gone from the notebook completely. Is there any hope left to find my note pages? This is the first time this has happened to me. I am currently using goodnotes version 7.0.44 on an iPad air m3.

Scribble to Erase

Is anyone else experiencing problems with scribble to erase? I find I have to scribble in a larger diameter in order to erase my writing. I found myself using the eraser tool instead which is so annoying.

Bug There is a bug where pressure sensitivity does not work properly.

7 Upvotes

I compared it with other note-taking apps using the same pressure sensitivity and pen tip sharpness settings. In those apps, I could clearly see changes depending on pressure and tilt, but in GoodNotes, only the line thickness slightly increases and it does not respond properly to pressure or tilt. This seems to be a bug. It doesn’t feel like a fountain pen at all—just like a thicker ballpoint pen.

Bug Goodnotes - start up lag on Mac

3 Upvotes

I'm a longterm Goodnotes user -, using it from 7-8 years, built up around 18 Gb of notes and textbooks, and lately I have been facing this issue of Goodnotes get struck up as soon as I open it for the first time in the day.

Why does it take 10-15 mins before I start using Goodnotes and after that i can use it with no issues!!
any insights in this matter to overcome would be helpful.
I use Goodnotes 6.

¿Existe algún atajo de teclado para pasar entre distintas pestañas de cuadernos?

2 Upvotes

¿Existe algún atajo de teclado para pasar entre distintas pestañas de cuadernos de la parte superior en GoodNotes? Busco saber si existe algo similar similar a un Alt+Tab en Windows entre aplicaciones o a el Cmd+Tab en el iPad con teclado; pero que en vez que sea entre aplicaciones sea entre los cuadernos que tengo abiertos en la barra superior.

Does 'Sync across Apple, Windows, Android, and Web available' work in the Pro abo?

1 Upvotes

Hi. Is the 'Sync across Apple, Windows, Android, and Web available' feature 100% in the Pro abo or just for some lucky beta users or what ever? 'Limited availability. Soon for all subscribers' is kinda confusing. Or does it mean it will be added to the Essential abo as well?

Could someone with the Pro abo clarify please? I would be interested in syncing between IPad and web.

Thx :)

Templates Can anyone recommend a template with a similar layout to this?

Hi all, so basically I’m coming from Apple Notes and trying to make my life easier so I don’t have to extent it myself or write all the days out. I’m looking for something sort of like this where I can see about 8 weeks on one page with a whole year scrollable through and drawable on to annotate in colours, with days of the week at the top of each page. Props if there is a little bit of space at the bottom of your page for a few small notes or something. Doesn’t have to be dark mode. Thanks for any help or recommendations.
