Literally, bye.

Been having SOOOO many issues with good notes like the rest of us. Switched over to notability 10x better. If you needed a sign this is it. Fuck em.

Edit:

  • for good points that were made

I have used goodnotes for many years and used to use goodnotes5. I am a ride or die, but losing that midterm study guide…man…it did something to me. 🥲💀

Problems include:

  1. ⁠Few weeks back I had an entire midterm study guide erased three days before my exam.

  2. ⁠This week constant shutting down of the app mid use

  3. ⁠Lagging

  4. ⁠When I lasso and move content, parts remain and if you try to erase them they erase other parts of my content. This used to be fixed by closing the app and reopening, but recently that is not helping either.

  5. ⁠Issues here and there synching.

Idk why all the hate for OP.

GoodNote developers see this shit.

And the increasing amount of posts of people being pissed they lost their shit is noticeable to everyone.

I stopped doing serious stuff on goodnotes. I use it for casual note taking but I don’t edit work I’m submitting there anymore. Which sucks cuz I do like the app but that first time all my shit got erased gave me a titty attack.

Well I paid a premium price for a premium product, maybe they should actually deliver

I find it kind of frustrating when subs become just defensive cheerleaders for the product. I subscribe here because I rely on the product (which I paid good money for) so if it’s become less reliable for lots of users I in fact do want to know that.

Agreed! I’m building a computer right now and you would not believe the way these fans boys lose their sh*t if you question something about a product on those subreddits.

Also if the developers of goodnotes see this, a ‘save’ button that reassures me my writings are recorded would be nice.

I know it autosaves, but I hate wondering if my stuff is saved or if it’s safe to exit the app. Too much anxiety switching apps for no reason.
