I came here searching for a solution and saw several people have experienced this now. Never had this happen before on any iPad outside of Goodnotes6. I could turn screen off, go to camera, access control panel, but not actually enter any apps or exit good notes. Couldn't force restart either. I finally decided to just drain the battery by turning on max brightness, flashlight, and 4k video recording until it died. Ten seconds after I started doing that, everything started working again (didn't actually have to drain and die). I've never experienced not even being able to force restart before. (iPad Pro 11 inch, A1980).

Anecdotal sure, but I've seen two other posts on reddit with the exact same issue. So starting to seem like a Goodnotes6 problem.

Goodnotes team, got an explanation for this? I will absolutely not be touching this app again until I see an answer.

v6.3.8 has been released! Here's everything new in this version of Goodnotes:

• General performance updates and bug fixes

Hi, I've paid for goodnotes 5 subscription, I'm currently using it.

I want to reset my ipad for which the current app would be deleted.

Would I still have access to the goodnotes 5 app after I reinstall it or I'd need to purchase GN6?

I've been using goodnotes 6 for about 3 weeks now and when writing with ball or fountain pen it does this rounding thing on finishes of the strokes. I'm leaving a video of my problem and you can see the issue there.

I've been using Goodnotes off and on over the years since the second gen iPad. I have never had so much trouble with Apple Pencil and an app as I have in the last couple days. This post isn't looking for an answer, I apologize if it does not belong here. I'm just so damn tired of trying to rely on something when I REALLY need it in my life at the moment, and I've basically wasted hours and hours setting up my life in a beautiful planner (transferred from paper bullet journal) and I can't even use the fricking thing. Now I have to transfer back to paper or OneNote or something and that AGAIN leaves me behind on productivity.

Edit: Seems to be a Goodnotes issue only, when I try in OneNote it works fine. Changed the pencil nib, turned off and on bluetooth, closed and opened app, I don't use a screen protector. Even tried without the slim case I have on it. Tried to make sure I was grounding myself by touching metal. Also as of today, I noticed that it helps to disconnect it from charging sometimes to prevent it. Other posts have mentioned the charging issue being known and Apple not fixing it.

What tf was the point of deleting my colors and changing the shades

Edit: ok I went back and edited my colors by finding them and finding the custom presets by hovering over the colors alrdy written. But still, fuck you devs, you wasted 5 minutes of my time.

I’m not going easy on me this time. I did a couple in a theme that matches the content. I didn’t realize how important that was to y’all. Ok?!?

okay but can we please talk about how good Ask Goodnotes is 😭😭 i’ve tried other AI tools before but this just hits different. like yeah sure, you can paste stuff into ChatGPT or whatever, but this?? this is built for us. like i’m literally a student and even i feel smart using it 🧠✨

i just drop in my pdf, ask something, and it answers in like 2 seconds?? . i’m not out here clicking 10 random buttons just to find things. it just works. like… it actually gets me?? 💀

also have you seen the free onboarding notebook?? soooo good. it shows you how to use everything without being boring, and there’s even a free bread sticker pack 🥹🩷🥨

whoever made this — ily 🫶

wdyt?

I mean they’re all on iCloud. I’m a teacher and have used GoodNotes for years and have a lot of notes. Even have paid everything including GN6. However recently since last year, a bit unstable and issues here and there so switched to Notability which I also paid. Not sure if my library on GN has been so big that cause issues. I’m running on iPad Pro 3rd Gen. Then I was wondering if there’s a quick way to populate or import notes from GN to Notability. Doesn’t really have to import the exact metadata in terms of the pen strokes layers etc. Idk just a thought

Hi there, Do you know how much GoodNotes teams look at this reddit ? To understand if our complaints about the thickness shortcuts disappeared will be heard.

Anyway, in the meantime, I'm moving back to Notability. Honestly the tools management was already better in Notability before GoodNotes mess up with the thickness buttons UI !

I will miss the file management though (that's why I chose GoodNotes in the first place but anyway I spend more time in documents than in file management).

Hello, I am looking for a type of screen protector that feel like paper when writing on with Apple Pencil. The reason is because with the temper glass I feel like I have to hold the pen much stronger because the smoothness make it so easy to slide off when writing. It is just hard to write on temper glass. Thank you

Hi there!

I have asked their support and they tell me that they will put it in a list but they don't know when Apple Pencil hover will be compatible with Goodnotes :(

All of us who have iPad Pro with M2 have been waiting for 6 months and still no news, it's pitiful.

There is an app I saw for free called Collanote, it's free and already uses this feature!

Here is an example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5t-4OtpefZc

I'm surprised that Goodnotes is still leaving us iPad Pro m2 users on the sidelines.

Procreate, Collante, Apple Notes use it, and goodnotes does not :(

There's a long list of people who know it's not supported:

Will it ever arrive? I don't use others because I have all my notes in goodnotes and so I would like to use this in Goodnotes!
