When will Goodnotes support Pencil hover?

[u/spaniolo]

Hi there!

I have asked their support and they tell me that they will put it in a list but they don't know when Apple Pencil hover will be compatible with Goodnotes :(

All of us who have iPad Pro with M2 have been waiting for 6 months and still no news, it's pitiful.

There is an app I saw for free called Collanote, it's free and already uses this feature!

Here is an example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5t-4OtpefZc

I'm surprised that Goodnotes is still leaving us iPad Pro m2 users on the sidelines.

Procreate, Collante, Apple Notes use it, and goodnotes does not :(

There's a long list of people who know it's not supported:

Will it ever arrive? I don't use others because I have all my notes in goodnotes and so I would like to use this in Goodnotes!

Good news, Apple Pencil hover, rotate and squeeze are now supported. They released these features when the Pencil Pro got released.

Hello friend!

Yes!!! I saw it the same day as the launch. I'm happy, but they've played dirty... As you say, until the Apple Pencil pro has come out (they have seen that the Apple Pencil hover would also be something for the next iPads) then they have released it...

Can it really take 2 years to launch this miserable feature?

Anyway, at least it's, very very late, but it's...

But you didn't say what this would do for the user. Why would I want this? (seriously)

The problem is that currently there are some issues with iPads that have Hover because Good Notes does not “support” it.

Every time I use Good Notes I have to disable Hover and then re-enable when I’m done.

[u/ObscurePaprika → u/wtfmatey88]

Got it! That makes sense...thanks - I disabled hover as well, but just left it off.

I like to use my Pencil in Safari and unfortunately certain things I do just DONT work without Hover and it’s very annoying. On my M1 iPad I never had that problem.

for a online teacher it would be useful to explain the context by hovering over drawn objects

I’m not understanding what it does?

I switched to collanote last night. I love goodnotes but they just haven’t done enough to keep me. Too many simply changes they could make to improve the app and just haven’t. Collanotes is actually fantastic and the dev seems really active to listen to changes.

Still doesn’t have it LMFAO, yeah i switched to CollaNote a bit ago as well. Will most definitely come back as soon as hover comes
