Deleted my notes

It signed me out and I signed back in and ALL my notes were deleted!!!

Good app but didn’t even. Get to see it

So I went on and had to. Sign in so I could revise but I had to give them my school and my email didn’t work on there apparently.

Deleted ALL my notebooks/documents

Deleted all of my documents, won’t let me redownload app without paying again WHAT? The yearly subscription for unlimited notebooks is very stupid, this app sucks and the developers are greedy. I wish I could give 0 stars.

forcing me to buy Goodnotes 6

I can’t even restore my purchase

Hard to use

Best note app, except that it frequently requires login

This is really the best note taking app. No need to repeat other reviews. The very annoying side is, it frequently says “Login session expired” and needs me to sign back in. Why would I need to do this? When I have something to jog down I want to do it asap before they slip away from my head.

FIX THE DAMN SYNCING

THERE IS NO REASON WHY MY DOCUMENTS DO NOT SYNC OVER TO OTHER DEVICES WHEN I HAVE AMPLE STORAGE AND SPACE. GOODNOTES USED TO BE THE BEST AND NOW IT SUCKS. FIX THAT. ALL THE POINTLESS UPDATES AND I CAN TYPE NOTES ON MY LAPTOP THAT WILL NOT TRANSFER OVER TO THE APP ON MY IPAD. I USED TO RAVEEEEEEEE ANOUT GOODNOTES BUT IM STARTING TO SEE WHY EVERYONE HATES THIS APP SO MUCH.

Excellent for college

This app is so good for note taking and staying organized. Every feature feels intentionally designed and useful. The UI/UX are great and user friendly.

Doesn’t keep your imported docs unless you keep the app running.

Just what it says. Even with iCloud sync on, if you close the app your imported docs and any notes are gone when you launch again.

Good notes

Goodnotes is an amazing app I’ve tried other ones but this one is completely free no subscriptions no ads I love it I use it for all my classes and it’s very simple to use I love Goodnotes

App keeps crashing

This app started crashing over and over again and prevents effective use

Taa

So smooth but sometimes some tools load more time

Errors

I’m learning chemistry and using this for note taking. Half of my notes disappeared and when I went back to the top it won’t let me continue writing.

Great for Nursing school

I use Goodnotes to view my PowerPoints for school. I write my notes directly on the slides or I can insert a page for more notes. I also use it to create flash cards for studying. It’s my favorite app for Nursing school. I highly recommend Goodnotes.

Good for students

This is very helpful and useful for students in college

overpriced

loved this app until they started charging $10 a month for basic stuff. i’m a student and can’t afford that. just greedy and money hungry.

. The best

So helpful, love it
