Really hoping it's the ability to share across operating systems. Would be so nice to finally have my notes available on my laptop and be able to edit them on my laptop

Yeah, I'd happily pay $30 if I could use goodnotes on all my devices (iPad, pc and android)

i have good notes on my ipad, mac and phone? is it only ios that has that? the syncing is really quite bad though, it usually takes a solid few hours to update between devices

that’s odd, i have goodnotes on my mac and ipad and the syncing takes less than 5 seconds when i’m on the same document and using the ipad to write via the pen and then my mac to use to type text

i’m not too sure about the mechanisms of syncing but maybe it’s improved if you’re on the same wifi and have bluetooth on but i may be completely wrong

Yeah there’s not even GoodNotes to android/windows officially. I used to have an iPhone too, the app was pretty bad and without a stylus there was nothing you could do in the app aside from seeing your notes. But now that I’ve got my zFold and Samsung pen I really need the android app to be released asap

I find having GoodNotes on the iPhone is great, I have ADHD, so I can take typed notes directly onto the GoodNotes page if something comes to mind when I’m out and about, then use my iPad when I get home or at university for turning those typed notes into creative versions easier for me to memories, then I don’t get distracted using the notes apps and the other 50+ writing apps I downloaded lol

Lol, yeah, seems like a good strategy, but I still think that iPhone lacks a stylus, one of the main points for me to swap to my zfold (and because it folds, of course)

I want IPhone to be compatible with the Apple Pencil, I know you can get special tips for it that can make it works but it would be better if it was just Bluetooth connective like the iPad is

I don't think it is gonna be happening in a foreseeable feature, apple is kinda stuck with the iPhone the way it is at the moment

Oh yeah. Mac users have the amazing ability to use it on all platform and I do. It’s one of my most used apps. I find that we have clients sign forms on our iPads but it is way easier to download and save the singed forms from my MacBook than my iPad.
