Вы в адеквате?

Я понимаю капитализм все дела, но платные конспекты???вы совсем ошалели ??? Может скоро воздух будете продавать , хотя вы это уже сделали в этом приложении

Used to be worth it.

I initially bought this app for 10 bucks 3 years ago and it was the best thing ever for college but it’s been unusable since it updated to goodnotes 6. I had access to unlimited everything before and now I have access to practically nothing. And of course they want you to pay a subscription now🙄

Always kick me out the app

Keeping a way

‏ started well, then it became more quality, then fell to the lowest level and it became not worth downloading as well as the amounts paid for nothing

Do NOT use the free version

I used to use Goodnotes exclusively until I realized I had to pay for the app multiple times just to save my work. You have to pay on Apple and windows to make sure your notes are not deleted. I paid on Apple and refused to pay again on my desktop and come to find out that it deletes your notebooks if you delete the app or are away for too long. Lost my entire study history cause I wanted to use my surface tablet instead of my iPad. I deleted the app cause I had to reimagine my device and all my notes are gone. Never regretted using an app more

Copy/cut/paste crash

Warning, this updated app is currently unusable if you ever cut/paste. It crashes infinitely, and the worst part is that you forever lose whatever you cut, because you’re never able to paste it again since it crashes every time. This happens on iPad, Mac, and iPhone and has been this way the last two updates. Another review also mentioned this bug last week.

Prior to that, cutting/pasting started leaving strange remnants/copies of random parts of what was cut. This has now been two major “updates” this year that have broken fundamental parts of the app. The last time it was fixed over time, but these major flaws seem like things that should be caught easily during testing before pushing out an update that bricks core functionality pieces of the app.

Oh, and this is all right after the subscription fee jumped 20%. 🤨 I’ll update this review if/when this gets fixed, but bricking a productivity app twice in one year while raising prices is not a great look.

super buggy

trying the app out. doesn’t work well especially trying to place multiple images and stickers. i want to love this app but i’m not gonna pay for a product that doesn’t work half the time.

Love it!

Great app for organizing anything! Only issue is that there are sometimes random glitches for example the app crashes when I try to copy and paste something.

Paid for premium for 5 and they’re asking money again for 6

I paid one-time upgrade for the premium features back in V5. However, that is apparently not enough for this company. Now in V6 they say I’m a free user and have to pay again.

I know you can navigate the menus to downgrade to V5 but this practice is despicable. I paid for premium for life because I trusted you. Don’t pull tricks on me.

Great but French glitchy

I really like using Goodnotes for things like annotating lecture PowerPoints, creating notebooks for subjects in school, and labeling photos. It’s pretty user friendly and is a staple in nursing school However, I still am having issues with the study sets flashcards. After every few I make, the card will turn black or not show my writing anymore which can be frustrating. I see it was supposed to be fixed but it isn’t still.

Notes

Deleted my notes and I can’t get them back

New update is glitchy

When you scroll through slides the screen has a quick white burst and it’s not as sensitive to touch as normal, also the header for the tools now drops down farther, taking up screen space with no option to adjust, additionally the pencil tool options have to drop into your notes, blocking even more of the screen, if you use the highlighter and pen a lot it’s really annoying….

Great

Amazing

Very frustrating

Was soooo important for the app/makers that I pay the subscription to keep ai recording ability and access to unlimited notebooks and templates. Now that I’m paying for it, miraculously, the app keeps crashing and deleting recordings. It is getting very frustrating, to put it nicely. Cancelling subscription because why pay for a service that doesn’t work?

very good app, needs additional features

goodnotes is a great app that has helped me a lot with studying, but i think it’s missing a few key features

the first being the choice to export a certain interval of pages, for some reason in goodnotes you can either only export a single page or all the pages, this is extremely inconvenient for the user

another important feature is that there is no setting to default turn off spellcheck for handwriting in all documents, very annoying to have to manually turn it off in every document

탭 고정 기능 추가해줬으면 합니다

탭을 여러개 띄워놓고 작업할 때, 잘못 눌러서 탭이 닫히는 경우가 잦아 불편합니다. x 누른다고 바로 닫히지 않게 안전장치를 추가하는 식으로 탭을 고정해주는 기능이 있었으면 좋겠습니다. 항상 응원하고 있습니다. 감사합니다.

👍

Great app! I’m really glad it doesn’t require a subscription and offers a one-time purchase instead. There are still quite a few features that could be added, though. For example, it would be great to have a way to straighten handwritten text in different languages — both the lettering itself and its alignment with the lines, so it doesn’t end up crooked when writing by hand — as well as an option to add outlines around inserted photos. Text editing is also inconvenient, and sometimes I wish the brush size could go smaller. There are many other features that could be added beyond these

“Lifetime” subscription expired

I bought the lifetime plan when I started college and when I try to use the app it keeps prompting me to buy a plan. When I hit restore purchase it says it found my subscription but that it expired and I can’t use it anymore.

Excelente

Cumpre o que promete!
