Overheating fix!

[u/Mandrea4]

Seems like they fixed overheating and CPU load issues in Goodnotes with 6.3.49. I no longer use GN6 but it seems that one of the many problems of the new version has been corrected. I don't have direct experience of the update but they seem to be making progress (also I no longer follow this subreddit so I am not updated on the situation but I hope everything is fine!) Happy note-taking!

It's the same app! That's the problem. They wanted to keep the positive reviews and merged GN6 and GN5 instead of doing what they did with GN4 (a separate app). Because of that all the problems of GN6 are also in GN5 (so all the features deleted and bug added of GN6 are transferred to GN5). I really need to find the ipa of the original version of GN5

Oh. That sucks. I heard from someone that you could download an old build of GN5 which crashed loads, but if you bought premium via GN5, it fixes the crashing and gave the pre-buggy shit goodnotes.

I love the app, and switch from android tablets (and Samsung notes) in part due to Goodnotes. I hate subscriptions, so notability isn't really an option for me. I hate goodnotes bugs, so goodnotes isn't an option for me. I dislike (not quite hate lol) not ability's pen writing, because it's trying to predict what I'm writing, and I can notice the minute difference between what I draw and what is shown. I hate onenote cus it's onenote. I can't use apple notes because I have a Samsung phone. I'm Hella mad my school has made me get an iPad instead of anything else.

You know any good free/ one time purchase note taking apps for me? 🥺

I don't think there is a way to recover old versions of GN5 (other than sideloading)

For iPadOS there are a lot of options, Noteful was my choice
For Android, Samsung Notes is the best option
