GoodNotes 4 App Reviews

I definitely want to use the app extensively for office meetings but few features are not helping 1. Drawing straight line when am trying to press the pen nib 2. Export features need to improvise with more options. Auto text conversion should be possible if there are no drawings and could be saved then in doc/ oneNote which can be edited later

When writing with my stylus, a line is constantly drawn to the up and left. Its extremely annoying because it happens every few letters I write. Never had this issue before update

Not too bad, good be better. The writing tool doesnt communicate at its best when applied. But other than that I like it.

Great great app for university until the lines started happening! Fix asap especially because its midterm season!!

The new update causes a straight line to be constantly drawn to the top left corner. This never happened before the update. Please fix this soon.

Excellent for note taking at meetings

Everything about this app is incredibly useful, except for the fact that when downloading PDFs or power point slides that have "widescreen" margins, it literally takes FOREVER to download it and then wont even load the file after its done. Ive tried it with multiple files, it takes over 5 minutes to import it and then wont even open it. Just a blank white screen forever.

Great app, I would have given it 5 stars but had to hold back on one thing, there is no option of sharing multiple pages or all pages without the cover page. In other words the cover page is not the hottest thing in the app. It would be nice to turn it off as an option.

For years I swore by Penultimate but Version 6 was such a disaster, I looked for a new note taking solution and thats how I stumbled upon GoodNotes 4. I havent looked back since. GoodNotes 4 looks slicker, has more options and better stroke recognition than Penultimate using the official Adonit Jot Script Evernote Edition stylus. Its now my go to note taking app. I wouldnt trade it for anything.

After several years using Goodnotes but also looking for different options, I have to say that Goodnotes is the best note taking application in the market now. Basically, I carried all my pdfs and notes as a PhD student and work awesome!!, strongly recommended!!

Very well designed. Easy to use. Made my life easier!

I love your app, and I have been using if for a while now. The 4th generation is much better in regards to design and the fact that it links seamlessly, through iCloud, with the new iPhone version of the app. However, there a few things missing. First, you should have a continuous scrolling feature; I personally prefer that to page swiping, as I am sure many others do. Secondly, you should be able to lock zoom view while reading; a feature that iAnnotate has, and leads me to, sometimes, use their app instead of yours. Thirdly, you should have the option of having multiple tabs, so that one could quickly swipe through each PDF or notebook, etc. And finally, you should have a mac app as well for those, like me, that love to switch between iDevices and Macs. For me, these new features would make this app my favorite app of all time, which would most definitely deserve 5 stars.

I reached my climax while using this app. It does everything I wanted it to exactly. Apple Pencil support is FLAWLESS its like Beyoncé created it.

I love this app. Beautiful integration with Apple pencil makes for very natural note-taking. With it I have given up my hard copy notebooks -- and I was a diehard. My latest use is to create presentations in keynote, then xfer over to Goodnotes. This way when presenting I can effortlessly add live words, arrows, circles, etc on any slide. (Note: if you want to do this, xferring as pdf preserves the whole page. You give up transition effects but I figure its worth the trade-off for live input). Things Id like to see in future versions: A - input with keyboard as well as stylus B - export/move more than one page at a time But these are future wishlist only. Neither slows me down. This is now my #1 go-to app on iPad pro.

Awesome app!

**after searching for sometime I found this great app I had the new IPad Pro 9.7" and this app works with my Apple Pencil like magic I tried other apps and I even bought them but this one is the best . I wish they integrate a calendar or a planner that can utilize the Apple Pencil as non are there highly recommended

Love the app but recently Ive encountered many glitches. Things stay pixilated for too long and sometimes pen strokes dont appear until 3-4 seconds after

This is an amazing application that I use as part of teaching assignments in mass communication. I do all students assignment annotations on the app in PDF format and share them with students afterwards via e-mail or Dropbox. All annotated works are automatically updated and backed up on my Dropbox. I also use it to make comments on pdf documents in written formats. With the IPencil and iPad Pro in place, this app is a perfect fit for those who are into unlocking their passion for free and hand-written feed backs that reflect our unique personalities in expression..

Gives new meaning to the paperless office! Congrats on an outstanding business tool.

It would be nice if when in the view where you have all your notebooks in a single category, you could swipe right or left to go to the other categories of notebooks. Great app, would love it even more if icloud syncing was faster and more responsive too.
