    Since the last update, the app has been malfunctioning. I am unable to create or edit any notes. Upon visiting your website, I received a message stating that the issue is with the iCloud server. Despite waiting for five days, the problem remains unresolved. Additionally, I have paid for your annual subscription. My experience with your application has been extremely negative. I would like a refund and will be switching to Notability.

    I have updated my review since it was updated to Goodnotes 6 and i was forced to pay for the updated versions otherwise i cannot use this version , i remember well when i purchased the app for the first time years ago , it said that its lifetime Payment with no further payment , now you forced us to pay again.I hope bot to come after couple of years with Goodnotes 7 and asks for New Payment !! It will be a fraud .——————Amazing Notes application , works perfectly on my iPad Pro Easy , reliable Easy to save on the cloud Reaching all notes via iCloud throughout all my apple devices Exporting notes to pdf format very easily and share them Totally , it’s wonderful

  • Great app, but missing vital features and easy to add

    I got GoodNotes recently I liked the app so much but I noticed that there is some important features is missing which btw is easy to add to the app e.g : the drag scroll bar isn’t working in the app and that’s crucial to me because I’m reading tons of pdf with huge numbers of pages and can’t move between them freely and fast.Second : I can’t read my PDFs nor my notes into double page book like reading which saves me tons of time and make the experience of reading and editing more efficient and real . by far That’s what I noticed and missed after getting the app immediately and I hope u add those features soon to make ur app more efficient .

    This app is so good, although it can get some more awesome features like:*To be able to record audio while noting on the app. And be able to isolate noise in case of recording in some areas like college halls where there is much noise.*To be able to hide the tools ball even while writing to get an actual notebook experience without any distractions.*To be able to adjust the resolution of the presenter’s screen when mirroring the iPad’s screen with an external display or a projector. That would be really a very good thing to see

  • Great app, but missing an important feature

    Good notes is an awesome app and I love using it everyday. I would love to see support for different pencil angles, just like in the apple notes app. It would be great if you had the option tohvae your eraser get larger when you change the angle instead of changing size manually. Also, it would be awesome to see support for columns view, similar to the one in the files app it’ll help so much with navigation.

  • Good, needs a little touch

    I love this so much, but I think it only needs full screen display of the pdf with a small tool bar on one of both sides, that huge blue bar on the upper part of pdf annoy me so much, because I want a screen full of pdf, if you can do that option it would be amazing Thank you so muchPs, I purchased the app and it’s really good I only think it’s missing that one thing tho

  • you should add the ability to be able to have more than 10 questions

    Mohamedy23

    You guys are good I’ll give you that but 10 questions won’t cut it for a 200pages PDF and I won’t have to use the page range every time and if you also could make the summary a bit more detailed would be perfect

    Would Have Bought This App however I didn’t because the delay is massive. Compared to Apple notes (which almost feels instant), this just feels slow and lacking. Also the highlighter could benefit from working like an actual highlighter with opacity degrees and varying thickness depending on how you use it. Also the snap to shapes feature needs to have a few preset shapes because when drawing arrows, they come out a bit wonky and funny looking. There is so much to be fixed but the foundation is there.

    Thank you for your feedback! We’re improving the Shapes tool with better shape recognition, rotation, size handling, and a fill-only option. You can use Draw Shapes under Writing Tools to draw shapes as before, or try AutoShapes under Diagram Tools for structured diagrams with connectors and embedded text.

    A year ago, I subscribed to the app and the subscription fee was charged, but after a month it said I wasn’t subscribed, so I had to subscribe again. The same thing happened this year — the money was taken, but it still says I don’t have a subscription. Where is the money going? What’s this called?

    Good notes is avery good app it helped me alot to organize my subjects and assignments but as an engineering student i want the drawing process ro be more precise as if we add a rectangle we can change the dimensions or a circle to be able to get accurate drawings i know there is a ruler but it is not easy to be honest , also the update for apple notes that enhances the handwriting would be very important,thank you for this app
