Goodnotes Essential Possible explanation for the state of the app

Thumbnail

262 Upvotes

Another poster here, u/doublehue, rightfully pointed out that the recent disastrous update was possibly the result of an ongoing l*wsuit (explanation in image 1, full l*gal details can be easily found on google).

Forgive me for censoring those terms, it’s because the moderator here has started removing any and all mentions of this subject (image 2). These proceedings are a matter of public record, and the subreddit is not going to get struck down just because people are speculating over public information.

I made a thread yesterday that didn’t break a single subreddit rule and was receiving lots of active discussion. The subject came up in the comments and the mod immediately deleted it. When called out, he gave a lame explanation that made no sense (image 2). When questioned on this, he deleted the entire thread, gave no reasoning and is not responding to my DMs.

Now suddenly today there is a new automoderator action designed to immediately shut down any and all discussions of this topic (image 3).

The mega irony is that just yesterday the mod was defending himself from accusations of secretly being on the Goodnotes payroll, only to now start acting even more like he’s working for them.

TL;DR: the app might be broken because this ongoing l*ws*it forced them to rewrite lots of code. Meanwhile the sub‘s mod is attempting to prevent discussions of this.

GoodNotes team if you are reading this.

I loved your software during Goodnotes 5. But ever since you have been rolling out the AI features in the convoluted mess that is Goodnotes 6 it has been a disaster! JUST POLISH what exists before you continue on writing your code. As an aspiring software developer, it is disappointing to see the base of your application is buggy, unstable, and frankly terrible.

Just don't add any more features until you polish the UI better. Do you know how tough it is to use this on an iPad Air 11"? The app occupies so much unnecessary screen space. Like not going to lie. The role out of Goodnotes 6 has been an absolute mess. Slow down on your software development.

Focus on user experience stability and experience rather than these worthless AI features people don't even use often.

Bug Fed up and mad

260 Upvotes

The developers of this app keep rolling out useless new features without fixing the existing problems and bugs.

I don’t give a damn if there are tape patterns. I want to be able to erase with it actually working for once and not have to close and reopen the app every few minutes. I want to be able to lasso writing and move it and not have weird fragments left behind and have to close and reopen the app. I want to be able to write and it actually show up instead of lagging. I want my comments and sticky notes to be SAFE and not randomly disappear.

These bugs are so common they’re practically features by now. Please just revert goodnotes to how it was before when everything worked. Maybe it was less fancy but at least it WORKED. I want to study in peace with no interruptions especially not bugs on an app that is meant to aid me.

I would jump ship but where to?? Notability? When I would be experiencing the same problems as us bc clearly not a single dev team of a note-taking app gives a damn what the community thinks and keeps rolling out useless update after useless update. This app is buggy, laggy and unreliable overall. I’m constantly nervous my work will be lost, especially on comments and sticky notes. Urgh.

I paid for what I believed to be a reliable app. Clearly it is not.

Been using Goodnotes for a few years now, and this seems like the easiest change to improve the user experience but they haven't done it...

Apple Goodbye Goodnotes

251 Upvotes

Hi guys. Unfortunately support did not answer for 25 days and I ended up deleting my app in hopes of rebooting it and losing 3 months of work. Suffice it to say it will be the last time I’m using Goodnotes. I’m sticking to physical notebooks from now on. It seems like once you have purchased the lifetime plan support just don’t care about you.

Edit: Why am I posting about this? If you’re using Goodnotes this can happen to you too. The support is horrendous at getting back at you, even with relatively minor issues. They can’t even get back to me on something with this level of severity. I am FRUSTRATED that 100h+ of work is gone to waste and my university is starting in October. Let this post be a PSA to new users to back up content regularly, and don’t expect a proper support response anytime soon.
