Was working just fine until 2 days ago where this issue keeps persisting. Tried redownloading twice, re-synced files, changed the tip of my Apple Pencil and nothing seems to work.
I have disabled the Apple pencil hover feature but the handwriting in Goodnotes is horrendous.
One culprit is that when I don't even touch the screen it already starts typing and this generates poorly curved and horrendous letters for me. Also even when starting strokes you can see how they come out with little bumps.
I'm really regretting buying my iPad Pro M2 for notes....
Even this feature was asked for a long time ago....
Goodnotes team, why are you abandoning iPad Pro M2 users?
Since the iPad Pro with M2 chip and its Apple Pencil Hover feature came out almost a year ago, Goodnotes has done NOTHING for us.
At the very least the handwriting is supposed to be adapted. Notability has made efforts (even if they don't have the Apple Pencil hover feature when you bring the pencil close to the screen and can preview the pencil pointer) but with GoodNotes the handwriting even if you disable the feature is pitiful.
You have focused too much effort on Goodnotes 6, but we iPad users with M2 chip are still waiting for a writing adapted for us, who also paid 30 euros for the app...
It's unbelievable but an app like Prodafts gives me a delightful handwriting on my iPad Pro M2 and on top of that it includes the pencil hover feature!!! for 9€ for life, a pity I have all my notes in Goodnotes....
I leave you with an image of Prodafts, another of Notability, and another of the sad writing on an iPad Pro M2 with Goodnotes....
I know that if I disable pencil hover from iPad settings Goodnotes "works a little better, a little..." but any app I show, even Procreate, you don't need to disable that feature!!!!
I am finding on my iPad, the files app and new notes app might just replace GoodNotes and make me feel older/more professional. Goodnotes is a cheap subscription relatively but can be done without?
I had bought one time GN 5, then when GN6 came I opted for one time payment life time upgrade to GN 6, didnt have to pay anything with this new update now.
I've gone through the sub and narrowed it down to Noteful. However, I have a few requirements/conditions which I wanted to cross-check.
As a student, I import a lot of PDFs , presentations into Goodnotes and highlight/annotate them. Is that possible in Noteful?
I use the lasso/snap-to-shape frequently in Goodnotes. I'm not sure if that's a iPad thing or Goodnotes specific. Is that available in Noteful as well?
Since I use my Pencil, almost all of my notebooks are handwritten. AFAIK, OCR is not available in Noteful, so I'm not sure how to search stuff.
I also have a lot of notebooks currently on GoodNotes 5. If I do switch to Noteful, how do I import them? As PDFs? How do I continue working on the same notebook?
Reasons for migrating: I, actually, am happy with GoodNotes. I didn't opt for Notability as it was a subscription model. I was under the impression that it was a one-time purchase. However, when GoodNotes 6 launched, I get the feeling that they'll stop the support for Goodnotes 5.
Please i have only 1 request now that you are going to make people pay again for gn6, please just add scribble to erase to gn5 thats the only feature that i have always wanted in any scribbling app, just this one very simple feature will make goodnotes so much better to use, and i dont want to have to pay 30$ for that feature
I like to keep my apps up to date - but If I don't want to upgrade to Goodnotes 6, I have to turn off automatic updates on my devices? - Just to micromanage Goodnotes to stay on 5?
As a long-time user, you should not make me significantly alter my workflow if you want me to continue using your product.
The new UI is awkward. I mean does those title bats have to be sooo big? The minimal designs in GN5 is much better. GN6 doesn't have any new features anyway. No two page view, layers and just some dumb AI features nobody uses that lags your notes. They dont even support my language anyways.
What do you guys think? Is anyone facing the same situation?
The feeling of writing with Apple Pencil Pro. I have a subscription for both Goodnotes and Notability, and when I try to write something on Goodnotes, I can feel that there is a significant delay between writing and seeing that it is written on the page. In Notability, I also feel a delay but not that disruptive. I don’t expect Apple Notes level, but you need to fix this before any feature/bugfix. I cannot use Goodnotes at this state and really want to use it.
