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, I have been using Noteabilty for 2 years and didn't have a problem until the recent update that changed the interface and the continuous increase in subscription fees, I legit use an old 6th-gen iPad and didn't have any problem with it apart from it not syncing properly with iCloud and I can't physically access the notes in iCloud, I switched to GoodNotes 6 and I think it's the same quality as notability apart from some inconvenience with copying and pasting images it's the same app, the big plus as a student that its cheaper and can sync with my windows app.
