GoodNotes 4 App Reviews

Im very happy with this App. I just love it. It is very useful to write down your notes while reading engineering books or doing exercises.

Works Perfect with iPad + pen ....

Cant see the title of an opened document on thumbnail view.. Not sure why page number is shown there; its redundant...

This is a great app. I use it to keep all my notes in one place, annotate reports, and share the results. I use if with a jot script stylus. Great app.

Not connecting to drive properly.

Very good. Works as I expected

I really like the app, but as a long time Evernote user, would love to see Evernote sync added so Im not having to flip between writing and typing all the time.

Been a Goodnotes user for 3 years, now Im using an iPad pro with Apple pencil, but itd be great to give us an option to turn on/off Apple pencils pressure sensitive feature

Good

I am a university student, and I use this app on the iPad pro with the apple pencil, it significantly improved my efficiency by the easy use of taking notes and edit other files like PDF. Anyway, I love it!

Use this all the time!

I use to be the biggest Cheerleader for this App! No More! Like many people who have written the Developers, I am less than impressed! Version 4 offers very little "new or different" in the form of functionality. I updated/paid $5.99 (a second time) for an App I essentially already own! Sure the color and layout may have changed, but not for the better (IMHO). I thought I would surely get the added Fonts or maybe the ability to record! Like Notability, GoodReader or iAnnotate (and a dozen others). Or maybe the added Pens and Stamps of NoteShelf! Sadly, I found none of those features added. Instead what I did find is the one feature I used (and the only reason to remain a loyal user IMHO) the most "Custom Sort" but its now missing! None of the others ever had this important feature! I like writing on white! Give me the choice to save battery. Bring back the bookshelf and make it yellow! (If thats your favorite!) In the iPhone version I cannot no longer Crop photos??? If, like me you also own (any of the other Apps I already mentioned) invest the time in learning one of them. I, for one! (But I dont think Im alone if you check the Developers own site) regret investing $$ on an App I already owned! (IMO) This App was redesigned for IOS7 or to make it compatible with a future Mac version (as stated by Developers), neither should impact my pocket (IMO) unless I decide (in the future to buy the MAC version (Never going to happen after this!). Those changes are the "cost of doing business with Apple!" And should be up to Developers! (IMO). The next Apple decides to update, does that mean the developers will update and expect yet another installment on their (unadvertised) price for this App? No Longer a Happy Camper!!! I quit this Cheerleading Squad!

Needs better sync support for multiple users.

Used it for first time in a meeting yesterday took 6 pages of notes. Only issue is accuracy of converting to text but think it is more my handwriting than anything

I love the app with two exceptions. The Palm rejection needs improving because my iPad likes to wig out and switch apps when my palm is resting. My main desire is a search option to search for key words in documents and throughout notebooks/categories. That would be a significant help to me.

I had this with an iPad Air 2 and thought it was great. Now, with the iPad Pro, a whole new user friendly experience with the Pencil and larger screen. Using it all the time and "experimenting" with things using the iPad and the Mac interface. Can drop PDFs into desktop and notate on iPad and discuss in meeting because they automatically update to iCloud. Later export to Mac and save to a final version. Cant be positive enough.

Thank you for support of the apple pen for the iPad pro and thank you for support for Bluetooth styluses on the iPad Air.

Great for annotating journal articles and presentations.

Always draws a straight line on its own if I press my palm on the screen. Palm rejection is on. Needs to be fixed ASAP

I am a teacher who uses google apps (along with the office suite) extensively in the classroom. I was really looking forward to using the presentation mode for my class but....Goodnotes does not offer support for importing docs (you can import PDFs, etc from drive, but not docs!) power points also do not import well. Not useful/efficient for a teacher who makes changes to slides /notes often. Until Goodnotes can resolve these issues, I will not be using them. Notability is my current and best option.
