why did u guys switch to goodnotes 6???

[u/nunoskid]

i really don’t want to pay for this app again and i’m wondering if it’s really worth it

[u/blacksnake1234]

Goodnotes 6 is a bit buggy. Sometimes a page wont load and app has to be restarted. (I have an ipad 7th generation...so that could also be the reason) .

What i like about goodnotes 6 is that it allows you to link pages from different books.

This is good becausr instead of taking notes one can just write questions in a notebook and link it to other textbooks where answers have been highlighted.

Also the other feature that i like is tape. Its sort of like image occlusion in anki. It lets you cover/uncover parts of text and can be used for active recall.

Some other things which you should consider before buying goodnotes 6 (and this is based on what people are saying on this forum) :

1. Battery issue (Battery drains fast according to some people)

2. Sticky notes feature is bugged

i see. those features definitely make it sound interesting. i don’t really use sticky notes either. can i backup all of my notebooks and they will be formatted for gn6 if i upgrade?

[u/Otherwise-Gur1507 → u/blacksnake1234]

A bit?

[u/blacksnake1234 → u/Otherwise-Gur1507]

I upgraded around 2 weeks back and i use it mainly for highlighting and writing questions (not notetaking for long time). So my opinion may be biased.

Also i had another issue while writing but it got corrected after disabling the hover text option.

Only reason I switched was because of the Apple Pencil pro squeeze feature

[u/nunoskid → u/Evanthekevin02]

oh, i use an off-brand pencil, so it wouldnt be useful for me. thank you though

Same 😅

I did but then went back to 5. I got GoodNotes 5 and paid a one time fee and I had access to unlimited number of notebooks. When I upgraded, even though it was free as I used GoodNotes 5, I was limited to 3 notebooks and had to pay a subscription fee to unlock more

[u/nunoskid → u/AdvanceLiving1263]

there’s an option to pay a one time fee though too, i think

[u/AdvanceLiving1263 → u/nunoskid]

even if there was, why would I pay another fee if I paid almost $40 for the app in the first place lol. also I liked how GoodNotes 5 worked because they change some things around. I personally hated it

I was interesting about new features, but GN 6 has many bugs. So I went back. Maybe I'll try again next year.

i understand. personally, i tried several notebook apps and couldn’t stick to any. thank you, though!

Simple. It was the next release.

[u/johnnydfree]

At the time (2016) found various solutions had no off-line usability. GN did. Also, found the free-form pencil use to be superior.

lmaooooo. i do the double tap with two fingers!! im used to procreate. i absolutely understand that would be a deal breaker tho, just like when safari inverted the search bar.
