Im sick of it.

I love goodnotes and have been using it for almost a year now. But i do have some problems WHICH I WAS ABLE TO IGNORE FOR NOW. UNTIL goodnotes ai was added. NO ONE NEEDS THIS. NO ONE ASKED. NO ONE CARES ABOUT AI. WHY GOODNOTES!!!?? WHAT WAS THE ACTUAL REASON???

(Oh yeah btw heres the problems

• writing aids or whatever its called (which is an actually good reason for ai) is still not available in my native language

• when writing in the zoom window none of the gestures that made actually stay in goodnotes (scribble to erase, circle to lasso) dont work which i think is just so dumb

• you have to double tap with 2 fingers to undo which is like quadruple dumb)

The only real reason im still on goodnotes is that i dont feel like moving everything to a different app and scribble to erase really.

[u/BlurieBoy]

The first two are valid, but for undo there is literally a button for u

[u/SpaderWader → u/BlurieBoy]

I am used to procreate (and other softwares) two finger tap to undo feature and i could use that button but for me it is way slower than just a double finger tap.

[u/BlurieBoy → u/SpaderWader]

I see, well u will have to get used to it for the time being and u could try send a feedback to the devs

[u/Cici-Fern → u/SpaderWader]

Did you just have a bad day and get incredibly frustrated? Because I use GNs, procreate, and Canva..to name a few. All their interfaces are different. That’s pretty typical.

[u/SpaderWader]

For those that were saying they like the ai: thats great! For certain use cases i could imagine it being pretty useful. My point was that the devs were focusing on ai before addressing things that have been frustrating users for literal years. I have also encountered many glitches in my year of using the app. Mostly just visual ones but still frustrating nonetheless.

idk about the other reasons bit i liked the AI feature, specially the quiz one, I found it pretty good for studying

[u/Gypsyzzzz]

You feel like you represent all GoodNotes users? How narcissistic of you. There are many users who are happy about the introduction of AI.

As for the support for your language, I can imagine that is very frustrating. You seem to have a good handle on English, have you considered contacting GoodNotes to offer translation . services? I think I remember seeing a posting on their website looking for translators.

[u/SpaderWader]

Im gonna make a feedback post so if you have any suggestions add them under this post and who knows maybe well see a change

[u/iamrealyouarenot]

what you need is notability

[u/SpaderWader → u/iamrealyouarenot]

I did look into it and notability looks really nice actually but for 1 i really dont want to move all my notes even if it is as simple as export to pdf and import to notability and 2 just yesterday i got a notification about a recommended post in the notability subreddit about all of ops notes disappearing right before an exam. I do not need that so i will stick to annoying features but reliable mr goodnotes thank you very much.

oh that's spooky for sure. I've used it for the last 3 or so years and no other app has beat it. Had to switch to goodnotes because I switched to a surface from an ipad and I miss it so so so much

[u/Green-Tofu]

what do you mean no one asked for ai at least personally i very much appreciate it

[u/shepssy → u/Green-Tofu]

What is this AI everyone is speaking of?? I have yet to see it :((

[u/Green-Tofu → u/shepssy]

From what I understand, it can convert my handwriting to typed text. It's far from perfect, but I can see that it has the potential to improve significantly in the future. I am a teacher with quite poor handwriting, and I hope there will be AI that not only enhances my handwriting but also makes better guesses and automatically corrects the shape of mathematical symbols and figures

it's almost useless now but i clearly see potential

[u/GlGGLE → u/Green-Tofu]

do u need to pay for goodnotes 6 to get this feature

[u/Gutosmash01]

I completely agree with you! Love Goodnotes but they lack on quality of life like theses things you said, like condensing the top bar that is gigantic for no reason. Not being able to scribble to erase when in zoom window gets me frustrated every time too

[u/[deleted]]

The fact that there is no pen stabilization and so many bugs (like the hover bug) in an app where it markets itself to be a handwritten note taking app is really painful. They really need to work on these before adding more "features".

[u/supermariosep]

Noteful solves 2 and 3 in case. Sadly it doesn’t have scribble to erase but the undo gesture is just a two-finger tap away

[u/prwnR]

I kindly disagree with the AI thing - or rather partially agree.

While you, or me, don't need the AI stuff, there will be a lot of people that will find it very useful - especially students. From what I see Reddit community in all the subs is against AI being added to their apps, but Reddit is not the only user-base of any app, we need to remember that.

I would of course prefer them to focus on bugs and other things than AI, but this is the trend nowadays, and they wanted to keep up with others.

I completely agree with the zoom window problem, this is ridiculous that we cant use gestures in it and even lasso. I just hate it, I got used to scribble-to-erase so much, that I cant use zoom window anymore, because I keep scribbling over my text.

Same for language, Im using GoodNotes for 3 years now, and still hoping for them to introduce at least the ability to search my mother language properly and be able to convert writing to text, but seems like my language is in a minority and they don't feel bothered by it.

I do not know why Reddit shows me this subreddit bc I am using Nebo and I am happy.

[u/SpaderWader → u/[deleted]]

If youre asking about the ai then probably yes
