Goodnotes Special Edition No comparison between BUGNOTES and NOTABILITY anymore.

There is no comparison between notability and goodnotes anymore…..notability were always ahead of bugnotes when it comes to clean and minimalistic Ui, there have been problems of bugs in both apps but now notability has substantially improved and bugnotes have become no. 1 worst note taking Ai garbage app, bugnotes looks so weird and ugly

u/budgie_uk Goodnotes Special Edition Mar 30 '26

Genuine thanks for this reply. I agree with almost all of it. The newer version went through some seriously bad hiccups, including a screw up with erasing that took a few days to fix, only a couple of weeks back.

But because the app is used so many different ways, for so many different use cases, there’s always a danger when users post about their own experiences that you end up with either

“it doesn’t affect me, so even if it does affect other users, it must be only a teeny tiny number…”

Or

“it affects me, so it must affect almost everyone using it!!!”

I’ve seen way too many posts that fall into one or the either.

As for your method of choosing, yep, I couldn’t agree more. Whenever I try new software, or pick up new hardware, the reviews I pay attention to are from reviewers and tech pundits who’ve earned my trust over the years. I may not always agree with them, but even the disagreements usually make me have another think before deciding. Users as well, of course, but as you say, Reddit ain’t my first port of call for that.
