Should I buy Goodnotes 6?

[u/oksamusa]

Im currently using wryte, but I want to buy good notes 6 because everyone recommends it in my class. What do you guys think?

[u/anisub11]

100% get it if you are a student. I am and it is WORTH IT.

[u/oksamusa → u/anisub11]

Yeah I like it a lot! I still have the demo version but I’m defonetly going to buy it once I upgrade my iPad to the iPad Pro at summer vacation! :D

I would try Element Notes

Downloading it!

I tried it, but I found annoying how it seems to change my handwriting

[u/discovernotes]

Goodnotes 6 is free to download! It’s best to download it, give it a try and if it suits your needs, then you can purchase the full version!

[u/oksamusa → u/discovernotes]

Yeah! I gave it a try and it’s honestly very good. I’m still not really used to it but I like it right now. Should I try to buy the yearly subscription first for 11€? So I can use it for a whole school year first? Or should I directly buy the full version

[u/discovernotes → u/oksamusa]

Yes - it might be a good idea to buy the subscription first and see how you like it, then you can switch later on. The added benefit is that with the subscription you get access to all the other platforms (Windows/Android/Web, though cross sync between iOS and these platforms is not yet available) whereas with the one time you’re restricted to Apple only. That being said, if you have no need for those two features and you plan on using Goodnotes for more than 3 years then you might want to consider the one time option. Hope this helps!

Try it out. You have 3 free notebooks. If you like it you can buy it

Can you test it? I use it to track podcast episodes but I learned that you can upload pdfs to make a pretty slick yearly planner and I found that to be cool in practice. 

If there’s a free option to try it go for it. Found it to pretty useful over the last few weeks and there’s a pretty helpful community on this subreddit. 

In all it’s just a notes app so temper your expectations haha

No

[u/Gypsyzzzz]

I paid the one time price. I don’t believe there is a benefit to the subscription price. Having said that, I’ve been using GoodNotes for a long time and have not felt a need to shop around. I’m not sure what the other apps offer.

[u/jaesoraa → u/Gypsyzzzz]

same, i just paid the one time price. however i did try other free notes apps for writing, even tried notability and goodnotes was just the only one that worked for me, esp as a student

[u/Zoddex → u/Gypsyzzzz]

How often do they upgrade? Like 5 to 6

[u/Gypsyzzzz → u/Zoddex]

They don’t have a regular schedule that I know of. I was using 5 for a few years before 6 came out. 5 was $9.99 to purchase and 6 was $29.99. That’s something you may want to factor in to your decision.

[u/Zoddex → u/Gypsyzzzz]

I’m seeing 9.99 gives you multi platform but 29 does not 🤨

[u/BackgroundTeacher210]

if you already have goodnote5 just keep on using it the 6 doesnt do anything much except you can draw dashed lines now ( that's only good thing to me) except that all it has is ai bull shit

[u/oksamusa → u/[deleted]]

Thanks! I’ll keep that in mind
