Lasso won’t move selected

When I use lasso, I can’t move selected, please make an update and make sure the update makes the lasso tool move selected items. And resize won’t work either.

Unfortunate

The app doesn’t allow you to test its handwriting recognition capabilities without buying, making the app worthless to a student or a career professional. Although I was ready to abandon Goodnotes, it’s still the only leading note-taking app with handwriting recognition capabilities.

AI? Quizzes? Keep it simple, stupid!

I agree with Steve@Aberdeen’s review. This app does everything you need from a note-taking app, and does it very well. Its handwriting recognition in particular is superb – far better than any others.

But the authors are starting to add distracting bells and whistles. It links to some kind of AI engine. You can set up a “Study Space”, which is an automated way of producing an interactive quiz from your notes.

FFS – just focus on being the best note-taking app out there, and cut out all the ridiculous distractions.

This IS the best note taking app. I DO have horrible handwriting, this app better interprets my hieroglyphics than its reviews. More is not more accurate. I loved MyScript stylus, but this builds on a foundation. I think better with meditative cursive writing. This IS the app I will be using.

Great at notetaking horrible at syncing

I got this app because I needed something that did very well with handwritten recognition as well as backed up to a cloud base server. I am in and out of clients homes on a regular basis and had left my notebook full of Client notes accidentally in someone’s house a few times. The notes were probably worth thousands of dollars to me. I got the app because of its ability to recognize handwriting as well as to sync to a cloud base server. The app does one of these well. the syncing is horrible multiple times a week I have to reconnect it to the server. I can never trust that. It’s actually backing up my notes and always have to be double checking. In this day and age when things back up automatically, it is very annoying to have to be double checking to make sure your backup solution is actually working. By the way, I paid for a lifetime, premium subscription, so I’m not just trying to do this without paying for it. I also paid for the same subscription on my android device, which does not work at all.
