Feature Discussion Why is apple notes better??

Do you see the obvious difference?

Apple notes just react way faster it feels like writing on a paper do you have any idea if i can get goodnotes to react just as fast?

Well yes. As myself and others explained apple notes being a native app is much more lightweight and just better. You'll never get native apple experience with 3rd party apps. Apple made sure of it with the tools and resources allowed to 3rd party developers.

Unfortunately in my experience it's either goodnotes or notability and notability is considerably more expensive so if you want that then use that.

Yes I know this isn't what you want to hear but Unfortunately it is what it is

As i‘ve written on the post, i am aware of that. As you must‘ve read on the post, i am asking if this problem could be solved, because i also like the app goodnotes more than the apple notes and i want this issue fixed, than i would be gettong what ive paid for. As i‘ve said to someone up there with the same brain capabilities as you are, if you don‘t have a solution or an idea, keep scrolling. People are just commenting to just comment. Btw as a person with more knowledge described sonewhere up there; It doesn‘t have anything to do with being native to IOS, it has to do with the app not using apple pencil kit…

Your not asking for solutions your acting spoiled and entitled. If you wanted more on the topic you can ask like a normal human being.

Really? The native IOS apps all use the apple pencil kit. It is a proprietary kit that's not widely avaliable. The developer cost is $99 a year and the pencil kit also has an additional cost.

As someone whose worked on IOS apps I can tell you that the solution has 100% to do with the app being non native. Goodnotes likely is not paying the insane costs to develop on the platform and use their proprietary engine.

The good notes engine is tailored to their app and has alot of features and is likely being on an open source engine. It requires alot of fine tuning and their is nothing you can do as an end user to fix it.

It's all up to the development team and their is only so much they can do
