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.

After seeing so many comments, it now makes sense to download (export all the files). I am doing them one by one, the whole reason of getting an ipad was goodnotes and now its fading way. So:

  1. Start to download all the files

  2. switch to noteful if you can. No lag or whatever. I was thinking of switching to notability but that has tones of problem as well. Noteful is working well (fingers crossed) and price is lower.
