Requesting shortcut for “Create document”
Just started using the app and it looks great so far for handwriting to text conversion. I want to request a feature - for iOS, can also allow creating Documents (just like Board & notebook) from “Shortcuts” in apple?
Sucks
This sucks
Busy Life Made Simple
From undergrad degrees, to shopping lists, to graduate degrees, Nebo has simplified my life. I’m an on-the-go person on and off the road for work and studying in between, and Nebo has made it easy to type and write notes for work, life, language learning, and school. I love the organizational features, and the translation from written to typed notes is PURE GENIUS. I’ve been a huge fan of this app for over 5 years and still come back to it often. Thank you, Nebo!

Great app!
A while ago I left a fairly negative review for the developers because I felt they had scammed me out of my money with a bogus subscription. Nevertheless, they hear your complaints and work to resolve them. The app itself has been exactly what I've needed for my church responsibilities. I'm able to keep my notes organized! I also love the fact I can go back and have my handwriting converted to text!

OK, but Needs Work
I hope to see improvements on the typing function where a hard press on the typewriter icon will allow you to se the fonts prior to typing. Maybe allow the eraser tool to erase highlights only rather than the typed material, as you can select the type and delete it anyway. Also does it always have to open the pages screen on the left if you’ve closed it once. I appreciate it has a one-time payment option because that’s a rarity.

None Better
Goes from strength to strength. There is nothing better than MyScript Notes if you are looking for a cross platform app with a perpetual or subscription option. It does require DropBox for sync across the platform but if you don’t need mutli-platform then you don’t need DB. Complete and flexible app for multiple uses. I have seen it grow over the years. App store say it is only available for iOS but as expected, is running brilliantly on my MBP laptop on the MacOS, where I am writing this review. Congratulations and Thanks to the developers.

Great for its purpose
I’ve been using this app for uni for a bit more than a semester. I really love the simplicity and how easy it is to use. It has everything I need to help me study efficiently compared to actually handwriting. Considering one of the target audiences are uni students (such as myself), I think it would be beneficial to include more organisational elements. Such as being able to archive collections, having folders within folders, etc. Another small thing I noticed is I haven’t been able to copy paste links into the documents.

Fantástico
É para mim o melhor app de notas, testei alguns outros mas em termos de qualidade de escrita a mão, reconhecimento de escrita para conversão e facilidade de uso, não tem para ninguém!Aplicativo é excelente!
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.

Ignore more reviews
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.

ALL FEATURES NOW BLOCKED TO FORCE PREMIUM
I’ve been using this to take notes for work for 3 years bc of the convenient features like writing with pen and tapping to convert to text, scratching out to erase. I use it every day. Suddenly today every time I write and tap or try to erase, I get a pop up that this feature is only available if you subscribe. These are not premium features but basic features that make this app now unusable in the free version. Don’t bother. Ruined one of the best notes apps there was.

Almost perfect for me
I’ve switched from my other note taking app because MyScript Notes is incredible at handwriting recognition, including for my fairly incomprehensible cursive writing. It’d be perfect if there were page options with different line widths though. Currently, it’s one size fits all and I really don’t want to have to zoom into the page to get the spacing that I want.

Virtually no file management
I couldn’t figure out how to copy files or move them between folders. You can’t have folders inside folders. Just 2 layers, collections and folders.
So if you have a collection for work, school and personal. Then inside have a folder say for each job, you can’t have folders about different parts or people in the job.
The response that it isn’t a bug is correct. All the issues I have are their design choices

Great app!
Wonderful app. I use it for drawing and I really love it. But you lost 2 stars for 2 reasons. 1: -.5 stars (because it's far less annoying than the other thing) because it crashes quite often. Usually when I'm trying to pick my colour.
2: -1.5 stars because it will randomly erase my work out of nowhere for no apparent reason. SOMETIMES I can click undo and it will come back. But most times it will undo the previous thing from it, like my work never happened. So that’s highly frustrating. Otherwise, it’d be awesome if the undo button was on the main screen 😊
Thanks for the app guys!

My patience with this app couldn’t last for long…
Since the app does not provide any option for private feedbacks, I will leave it here… I purchased a year of subscription, and wasn’t happy about my decision later.
The app supposed to have an amazing feature where any line you draw can become a perfectly straight line. It did. But every single time the line was jumping around the screen, moving randomly up and down. Every line. This was extremely annoying and it messed up all of my notes. Eventually I started pressing a cancel-the-last-cation button to keep the lines in original format (not perfect at all), because the app does not offer an option to turn off this feature. Similarly how it does not offer to remove the feature of cancelling the last step by some hand move which often happened accidentally when my hand was resting on the screen during writing. Sometimes I would have to keep my hand lifted to void this annoying cancellation of the last action.
The app definitely has some good potential as it offers convenient organization of notes by folders and exporting options, but it is still far from perfect. I am happy I finished this semester and won’t have to use this app ever again, because my patience was challenged all the time with the app.
I hope the developers add report a bag or send a feedback feature for all current and future users.

Developers Please Read 💜
I love this app, and I love the one-time payment option. It is also well maintained.
However:
Things this app desperately needs:
- Ability to change the font of text
- Fix copy and pasting my own writing—it’s broken
- The ability to copy and paste images, text or writing between documents
- More background color options
- Fix the auto highlighter—it has a mind of its own
- Fix the crop tool for images—it’s completely unusable
Some things that would be nice:
- Ability to non-uniformly resize sketches and also flip them vertically or horizontally
- Be able to rotate written notes
- A built in search function
- Better support for tables
- Make the AI less dumb—it struggles with math input
- Allow LaTeX formatting in the chat bot’s responses
- Better superscript and subscript recognition
- Easier way to edit math conversions
- Conversion to LaTeX code and the ability to search it—I will love y’all forever you have no idea
- Ability to add voice notes and other simple accessibility features
This is on its way to becoming a great app and could very well leave GoodNotes in the dust. The developers clearly listen to their users and are on top of app issues. Please keep up the updates!💜
