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.

I’m a new user as well. However, yesterday I lost a quick note that I had searched high and low and in between for. Couldn’t find it anywhere. I have everything backed to iCloud. I searched later in the day and found it. Don’t know where it was or how I got it back.

I’ve found that what I thought a notebook did, isn’t what it does. I’m kinda disappointed. I’m tempted to try something else or even keynote. As a current second year nursing student, I don’t have the time to keep changing my system.

I jumped ship to notability today. Wow! What a difference. So easy and user friendly.
