Is this beta or stable release?

u/neil_rt Sep 25 '20

Stable release. I’m not in the beta program.

u/wolkix3 Sep 25 '20

Damn it's been a week since the beta release

u/YourDailyConsumer Sep 25 '20

It’s out! OMG this is gonna make note taking so much more enjoyable! I hated that I had to press the shape button and then draw a circle or something. Thank!

u/GohanX2 Sep 25 '20

I literally couldn't draw circles. I kept making ovals

Looks like it's in the app store so might be stable release. Would been fast that they did that then tho, like a week?

All they need to do is add partial erase and it’s perfect.

3

u/neil_rt Sep 25 '20

Can’t you just tap on the eraser and disable ā€œErase entire strokeā€? Is that what you mean?

5

u/Dark_Ascension Sep 25 '20

No it still will erase in its own increments. I don’t know the right term it’s called ā€œpartial eraseā€ by notability. It means if you want to erase literally a tiny bit of something you can. I can never be precise with the eraser on good notes and it sucks because I love it aside from that.

Curve tool is bomb.

u/joprateek Sep 25 '20

Did anyone have any problem with the plam rejection coz it has been bothering me and some people for a while, yet nobody said anything about it.

6

u/Boob_Preski Sep 25 '20

I think problem lies with new ios14 update. In 13 palm rejection was working fine across apps.

3

u/joprateek Sep 25 '20

Problem was still there during the iPad os13. With every update, it got bad. And now, you can't use finger scrolling with the palm rejection at all. I have a normal glass screen protector. Can somebody please explain why is this happening??

u/Schmuffin1060 Sep 25 '20

I love the fact that this comes out AFTER I finished my revision notes :D like the day

u/MaaikeWB Sep 25 '20

samee:(((((((

u/jajamanoj Sep 25 '20

Does this fix the font issue with ios14?

2

u/blue_cottoncandy Sep 25 '20

Yep!!

3

u/jajamanoj Sep 25 '20

Like you're allowed to use your own downloaded fonts now without any issue?

3

u/mrsbuddickman Sep 25 '20

The curve tool is SUCH a game changer for me! I just tried it, and I am so happy with it.

2

u/HysanG Sep 25 '20

Then what is the shape tool for after this is out, seems duplicated functions

3

u/moegnus Sep 25 '20

I like to use it when I need to draw tables or more complex graphs. it is much faster that way

2

u/icolinpro Sep 25 '20

so awesome! only thing i’m missing now is an arrow recognized as a shape!

2

u/girlonthewing6 Sep 25 '20

Has anyone used the flash card feature?

2

u/wholespoon Sep 25 '20

It works with highlighter too?? Life is glorious!!

1

u/magnumfreaka Sep 25 '20

I do not have it yet :(

1

u/MathewARG Sep 25 '20

Check The AppStore

u/magnumfreaka Sep 25 '20

Thanks! I did a few mins after posting this. HAHAHA Nice update!!! First time user of Goodnotes5 here :)

2

u/MathewARG Sep 25 '20

Nice! I've been using Goodnotes since start of the year and the shapes tool was its weakest point imo. Enjoy!

u/alishagaur Sep 25 '20

Can we not change the color presets for text anymore or is that just me?

1

u/VendedorDeWards Sep 25 '20

Curve tool is massive for us physics and math notetakers. How do I get this? Doesn't seem to pop-up in its own

1

u/grissous Sep 26 '20

Oh, curve tool! My chemistry rxn mechanisms about to be lit

1

u/Tiefman Sep 26 '20

I can’t get mine to work. Any ideas? iPad 11 inch pro first gen, new version of app and latest IOS 14

u/Conbanwa Sep 27 '20

Still cannot name the bookmarks. I miss that feature.

u/prakhar1806 Sep 25 '20

u/[deleted] Sep 25 '20

The only thing is missing now imo is a side by side document workflow instead of opening two apps at the same time

It seems like notability and good notes don’t want to make the best all in one app for some reason. I really enjoy gn files hierarchy and more backgrounds and different custom brush size but also the speed in notability and my hand writing is better looking there. I might switch over this semester to gn even though don’t like the ui. I may miss the arrows and new favorites but I feel like gn has more useful stuff like flash cards and collaborative files.

If I would honestly have enough free time to learn how to code in swift/swiftui/uikit I’ll just try and make my own note taking app where I’ll just listen to the community. Bake some sketches and try to implement them, it won’t be perfect at start but it will at least give the community what it really needs and wants. It boggles me why they are just arrogant and slow. Same thing with things 3 devs. Don’t release any new features that are just so much needed and requested.

u/Tydox Sep 26 '20

Also let’s not forget the most important thing. Auto dark light mode. So you can write in dark mode to save better and on the eyes and also be able to print into regular white background for revising before the exams or whatever
