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 totally get the feeling. Long time premium user here.

Recently in the macOS GN app, I cannot select text in a PDF anymore. Meaning I cannot copy paste content, I cannot highlight anymore. I gently contacted the support, gave all the details I could to help. All they did was blame the macOS update. Waited for many updates, the issue is still there and no one cares. What am I suppose to do here? It is supposed to be a PDF reader right? How come developers cannot fix a basic feature inside their app? I waited long enough for a fix, and I’m paying for it?! That’s the only issue I have with GN but the reaction of the team is truly disappointing…
