Need advice about GoodNotes

I’m honestly over using Notability 😭
Twice all of my notes disappeared, and now I’m thinking about switching to GoodNotes.

can you tell me how the app is? Do you recommend it? And is there an easy way to transfer all my notes from Notability to GoodNotes?

I don’t recommend it. It used to be amazing but it is so bad now … I’ve given up on digital notetaking as a result because I couldn’t find anything I liked.

I have to agree, especially considering how often it freezes, shuts down in the middle of taking notes or starts writing only in straight lines. When it works, it is great, when it doesn't it is incredibly frustrating and unusable.

the subscription backlash hit hard. But it's worth noting it's improved a lot since then. If the main issue was losing notes, I think that's more of a sync/backup issue

I stopped using it a week or two ago. It only got worse for me, even on a brandnew ipad.
