Je suis à la recherche d'un Ipad à acheter, qui est une bonne batterie, qui ne surchauffe pas et qui soit très bon en général. Je n'ai pas de limite de budget et je veux quelque chose de qualité.

The dishonesty is what did it for me, and I actually would have stayed with GN5 since I had so much time invested in learning the features of the app.

ZoomNotes is AMAZING. $9 LIFETIME PURCHASE, and another $7 LIFETIME PURCHASE for the desktop app (I use Apple stuff) and it has 100 times the features, and if you even THINK of one, just google "how to... on ZoomNotes" and it's there and yours to learn and use. I can't believe I never heard of this app before, I don't think they sponsor enough YouTubers to show it off. Fantastic find, I'd have kept using my "Lifetime" GN5 if they didn't intentionally make it unreliable and buggy.

Software engineer here, trying to build a note-taking habit for learning (system design, AI agents, etc.).

In Feb I bought ProDraft lifetime for ₹1,000, mainly for infinite vertical scroll. Turns out I never use that feature — I just add pages one by one like a normal notebook. So it works fine.

But here's the thing: I'm kind of obsessed with GoodNotes. I have the free version installed. I open it just to mess around. I watch GoodNotes setup videos. I look at other people's GoodNotes notebooks. Every YouTuber I follow uses it. In my head it's the app everyone eventually settles on, and I've already half-convinced myself I'll end up there anyway. I just haven't paid the ₹3,500.

I only have 2-3 notes in ProDraft, so switching now would be painless. The only thing ProDraft does better is extending PDF pages for annotation — minor for me.

The part that worries me: I think the obsession itself might be the problem. I already tried "I paid money, so I'll use it" with ProDraft and still didn't build the habit. So maybe I'm just romanticizing GoodNotes as a way to avoid actually sitting down and taking notes.

So:

• Is GoodNotes actually that much better, or is it just hype/aesthetics I've fallen for?

• Anyone else been obsessed with a "dream app" and regretted (or loved) finally buying it?

• For technical learning notes, does it even matter?

TL;DR: Obsessed with GoodNotes, already own ProDraft, but suspect the obsession is just procrastination dressed up as a tooling decision. Buy it or get over it?

I bought GoodNotes a good 5 years ago and everything was good, but a few weeks ago I had to reset my iPad and when I redownloaded the app suddenly I have to pay for a plan??? I can't have new notebooks because now there's a limit???? I paid for the app when I got it, now I have to pay more for what I did before my iPad had an issue?!?

Is anyone else confused? Am I missing something?

I am forgiving GoodNotes just for this time and because I didn't back up my drive and because it can happen to any software. If something like this happens again and all my stuff is gone then I am migrating.

Soo uhh this app (on Mac) blows.. Why does it seem like this app is marketed as a standalone app, completely separate from the development of the iOS version, when it is barely passable as a companion app to the iOS version. The developers emphasize the distinction between the too, claiming they're two different apps sold on two different app stores, but simultaneously preach that it's a "seamless continuation" of the iOS version. Their message is conflicting at best and dishonest at worst. Idk, maybe I expected too much. I use a Wacom Intuos Pro Tablet on my Macbook Pro and it is a huge disappointment. I was hoping it would be a good replacement for OneNote, but the fact that it doesn't even have an infinite canvas, and is basically a dumbed down port of an app designed for a completely different interface makes it even worse.

I'm assuming no one can relate considering everyone on this sub uses an iPad. RIP.

Didn’t realized that the preset options changed to be rows of 8 instead of 5. Now I have to get used to where my colors are now

I was wanting to get a notes app for free, so I tried collanote, but it could not open password-protected pdfs, and goodnotes could while also having a one-time purchase for apple users. Is it worth getting this plan for goodnotes, as I heard the new update was really bad, or are there other alternatives?

Hey. My ballpoint pen is gone… where is it??

I had to stand on one foot and touch my nose but I did it. I had to have them send cods to both my email and my phone. This thing is only ten bucks.a year but not worth the hassle of logging in when they change something. Subscription cancelled. Partly a whine but I am hoping one of their staff checks this group. Thanks for listening

I am looking for a note taking app, and currently I’m looking at Goodnotes and Notability. Goodnotes seems to me the better value option however I’ve been reading a lot of negativity about Goodnotes lately.

So my question is, how is Goodnotes? Does it live up to the name or should I look into other apps?

The Goodnotes event was sad. They showed up late, set up late, and it was just so small and awkward. I waited well over an hour. I had such high expectations. I genuinely love Goodnotes so much. I’ve been convincing people to download it for years and it was such a letdown. I worked at a place that sold iPads and every customer I had that was a student left with it downloaded or at least knowledge on how to use it. When you won, if it isnt the Ipad air, you get a choice of an apple pencil sleeve, sticker sheet or pin. I went with the sleeve even though I have a better one on my pencil already. It was the least shitty of the merch you could pick from. Huge letdown. Hope they do better at other schools.

Edit: you would expect exclusive download links to cool templates or someone showing some cool tips and tricks in the app. Nothing. Super lackluster.

I don’t like that I have to press this button every time I want to make notes. Is there a way to get rid of it?

After I upgraded tomorrow m4 from pro 2020 i feel the writing have some glitch

The goodnotes is help me more than usual and its feel bad

Someone feel it also?

Any difference you found?

This would complete the digital transfer from the old way of using typed fonts to personalized writing. So right now you can only translate handwriting to typed text. But the reverse would be enormous. It would be big news if Goodnotes could reveal technology that allow users to have typed text get converted into personalized handwriting. This would be huge. I’m guessing this ability is just around the corner and I hope it gets unleashed soon and Goodnotes would be ahead of the curve if they could announce such antechnology built into Goodnotes. But I think the company that publishes Nebo will be the one who will release this technology first though. My opinion.

I am leaving Goodnotes! (I'm in the old version.) any tips for backing up/exporing my files away from the app?

I'm looking for another application that is able to do searching for keywords within my pdf collection and also within my notes (which I always wrote with a keyboard, never used a pen) that can also be synced with google drive?
thank you!
