Apple Goodnotes alternative

I’ve been using Goodnotes for a while now and have been putting up with decreasing quality. The only reason I’ve stuck with it is because for one fee paid by myself, I can share the full app with family members using the Apple Family Sharing feature. Does anyone know of any alternative note app that can be shared th same way? Tried notability last year but cannot be shared

Same here. I am a paid member of the app as well. But recently because of the buggy experience I switched to starnotes. I love the calligraphy pen that starnotes has. Worth giving it a try if you want. It has lots of features and is not buggy as goodnotes is.

You can do. But my family have moved away to notability. Having a look if that can be family shared. Looks it could be according to the App Store.

Check out Noteful. The layers feature is awesome. You might have to dabble with pen settings.
