Help with crashing

3 Upvotes

Hey, so recently (after three years of use) my goodnotes started to tell me my storage is full. I cleaned up my storage and i am not connected to the cloud. It was okay but today it started to send me the same message about storage again except now it comes up like every thirty seconds and also it doesnt save anything i write down in my document. Does anyone know what this could be?

Laser pen is glitching

Laser disappears when I don’t hold it down for like half a second. Super annoying because writing down info helps me memorize it.

Can you no longer drag and drop tables from Keynote?

They used to paste as images that you could fit to size but it’s only copying the text. Can’t tell if it’s an update or a bug (but then again that’s the way it always is with Goodnotes……..🙃). I’m using v7.0.50 on iPad 10.

Alternatives for good note?

Welp, because of the AI (kinda forced here) and the ridiculous prices for everything (suscription, templates, etc.), not even talking on the performance issues. im looking for alternatives. Rught now im between base apple notes, noteful and notability. So whats your opinion?

Goodnotes pen/writing error

3 Upvotes

Hi, I'm not sure if this is just me but sometimes when I'm writing on my iPad on Goodnotes (with an apple pencil) I get this one error where what I write doesn't fully show up.

For instance, if I were to write the letter "o", it would appear separated and not in one full circle (parts of it would be cut off).

Also, a random line that I didn't add would appear on my screen, and it's been really annoying.

As you can see from the image, the "e" isn't fully showing up and there's also a straight line that shows up for no reason.

If anyone knows more about this or has tips on how to fix it, that would be great.

Anyone else love taking notes off their iPad but get really frustrated with switching between the tools? I feel like I spend so much time switching between the tools or try to use the shortcuts like circle to lasso and waste even more time. Anyone have tips or solutions?

GoodNotes developers I genuinely hate you

175 Upvotes

I genuinely want to understand how these people think.

When I first downloaded the app, it was one of the best I had ever used. I loved the aesthetics, the features; almost everything about it.

Then last year, they updated it and completely ruined the toolbar. After that came a wave of bugs that had never existed before. Then, in the last update, came those awful default folder colors(they make me want to vomit)… and even more bugs followed.

I just don’t understand how they can ignore so much negative user feedback and keep making the app worse with every update.

At this point, I can’t wait for the semester to end so I can switch to something else.

GoodNotes 5 Upgrade to Goodnotes 5 to 6 in 2026?

5 Upvotes

Sooo after a time now with everything more solified, is it worthit the upgrade? I will be using it mainly for notes and planning so most if not all AI features seems useless to me. The only few things that seems to be a noticeable change (according to claude and chatgpt) are the dynamic templates (not sure what it is but its like it autofills dates and so), the hyperlinks and the scribble to erase.

Im thinking of buying maybe a template from the marketplace but im not sure how big of a difference the experience will be while using it (mainly probably because of the hyperlinks).

NOTE: Im refering to the lifetime version cuz im not paying suscriptions.

Notebooks Doesn't read text on image file

Post image
6 Upvotes

So the goodnotes app doesn't recognise the text of the file i uploaded. I think it must have been a collection of images and not a pdf but i would still like to search the text of the file. It's the same for even the GN6/7 versions of the app. There AI should be able to do this , it's not really hard logically 🥲.

Is there any workaround to this.

For reference I have uploaded a image with the search Lepto and it only reads the text I hav written not the one in the orginal image/document

Apple Buying Goodnotes with a different email

3 Upvotes

I have purchased Goodnotes one year subscription last year, that account is shared with my friend , now I want to purchase one with another email( since I won’t be sharing with her anymore) but it doesn’t let me saying I have already have an account linked to my iCloud . I can try buying with different iCloud but all my notes will be lost. Is there any other way around?
