Version 6.1.2
Paid once off amount a year ago and then you bring update where I again have to pay to be able to use app. This is a rip off and false advertisement, should have said with each new update you will have to pay to be able to use app or pay yearly. I regret paying for this app under the assumption that I was paying to be able to use app for the rest of its life time instead of “till the next update”. Wouldn’t recommend anyone buying Goodnotes 6 unless you are willing to pay again a hefty amount when Goodnotes 7 appears.

The app works very well but you guys have a period where one is able to use goodnotes6 but you also stated that one would be able to go back to goodnotes 5, Well, I’m unable to go back, now I’m FORCED into a subscription. This is not cool at all, if I wanted to pay a yearly subscription I would have went to other note taking apps.

Used to be amazing

I was looking for a well round notepad app that could be easy to navigate and could export flies in commonly used file types such as pdf. I don’t usually write reviews but this the app I use the most on my device! Really great product!! 100% recommend for anyone who is trying to keep notes for work , school and projects. Also great for writers and artists. *EDIT* So I dunno who’s idea it was to change good notes into a subscription based service for the update. I already bought the app at a reasonable price. I tried good notes 6 and honestly it didn’t add anything for me . When I tried to use the app while it was still on good notes 6 it locked all my documents, trying to get me to pay for the new feature I don’t want. So I downgraded back to good notes 5 so I could access my documents again. Why should I have to pay for having access to my multiple docs twice??? Good notes 6 wanted me to pick only 3 notebooks to have access to but I already paid for that feature in good notes 5 why should I pay again with good notes 6? When I saw that the upgrade was subscription based I was really disappointed. Even more disappointed to find that there is a once off payment but that it’s like triple what I originally paid. Feels like this app sold its soul for more money.

There is a forum with customer requests. One such request has been for internal hyperlinks attached to text/buttons, allowing users to easily link related concepts in notebooks. But no, they gave us something almost nobody was asking for.
I’ll happily pay for new software revisions if you guys actually listen.

I first started using GoodNotes during high school and have remained a passionate user ever since. The app is fantastic for school, university and as I am now discovering, work! Whether it’s a content subject in school, calculations or taking notes for business, I have always loved organizing my life width GoodNotes. And for years I haven’t used a textbook or had to carry around notebooks. Give it a try. You won’t be disappointed.

Was always my favourite app, now…?

Version 6.0.14
I use this app every day as a student. Goodnotes 5 was hands-down the best note taking app on the market. It was simple yet sophisticated. Everything ran smoothly, it felt great to write on, and the tools did exactly what they needed to do. Recently, Goodnotes 6 came out, but not as a brand new app. It is replacing Goodnotes 5. I opted for the free trial, and was really not impressed. The AI tools are limited, to say the least. The math conversion is incredibly inaccurate. The erase by pencil scribble means you can’t colour anything in, so I immediately deactivated the feature. The other upgrades, such as multi-coloured folders, are insignificant. None of this warrants the hefty price increase that comes with Goodnotes 6, and as a loyal customer I feel betrayed that Goodnotes 5 support will no longer be available (I can still downgrade and use it, but development will halt). When I paid once off for the app a year ago, I was not prepared to have to pay triple that amount (with discount) for a clunky app that doesn’t do what it promises. I understand a minor price increase to once-off payments down the line, as long as the updated product performs, but this feels distasteful. I hope that the management and developers of Goodnotes will revise their decision, because I know that people are very unhappy with the current state of things.

Pay again? Really?

How do you revert back to Goodnotes 5? When I bought Goodnotes 5 it stated that it would be a once-off payment. Now with this update I have no idea how to go back to goodnotes 5 and I dont want to pay a yearly payment for basically the same app.

Please bring back import to current location

This app is honestly amazing for a university student. However the most recent update to GoodNotes 6 has come with a few drawbacks. I now have to cycle through all my folders in stead of being able to import a file into the folder I am currently in. I would personally appreciate it if this feature was brought back. I’m not sure if there are others who agree with me or not.

Version 6.0.10
I love this app, but I have a suggestion or two:
1. Add a place within the app where one can report bugs
2. I want to report that some of my hand writing disappears if it’s too ‘cursive’ or flowy, it gets recognised as a scribble. So maybe fine tune the feature that you can “erase” or deletes handwritten stuff with scribbling over it, maybe make it not so sensitive. CollarNote has this function and it never recognised my handwriting was to be deleted. It’s quite frustrating losing half a word every third word I write. This commonly occurs, and also my hand written letters sometimes flash.
This app is still great and I agree that it needs quite a few of the “Frequently requested features for Goodnotes 6”. This app can only get better.

Goodnotes 6 is a Scam

Version 6.0.6
Payment Predicament:
Imagine my surprise when I discovered GoodNotes 6 switched from the simplicity of a one-time payment (GoodNotes 5) to a subscription trap. Seriously? I thought I was investing in a tool, not signing up for a never-ending fee cycle. The shift sparked a barrage of questions about value, loyalty, and the audacity to shake up a formula that actually worked.
Lost in Transition:
Oh boy, the transition experience! Updating to GoodNotes 6 felt like stepping into a digital minefield. Files, projects, hours of work—poof! Gone. If this was meant to be some kind of sick joke, it's not funny. It's infuriating. How could such a basic function—updating—lead to such a colossal mess? The frustration lingers as a constant reminder of how software glitches can hijack progress.
AI? More Like "A Why?":
GoodNotes 6 had the nerve to tout its AI features like they were the second coming of Einstein. Except, surprise! The autocorrect AI barely understands my shorthand scribbles. It's like hiring a personal chef who can't boil water. And don't even get me started on other AI claims that feel more like gimmicks than game-changers.
The Verdict, If You Can Call It That:
Let's be real. GoodNotes 6's transition is a textbook example of how to infuriate a user base. A payment model switch that leaves me scratching my head, a botched update process that derailed my productivity, and AI features that, quite frankly, seem like wishful thinking. If this was meant to improve my note-taking experience, then I must be living in an alternate universe.
To developers out there: user experience matters. It's not just about lines of code; it's about respecting the people who rely on your software to get things done. GoodNotes 6, you've left me exasperated and flabbergasted. And that's not a review score you'd want on your report card.

Im unhappy. You don’t listen to your customers with new features that you should've added but instead updated the app with useless AI. The only neat feature is scribble to erase and circle to lasso. But your team rushed this update and it really isn’t worth me paying for it.
I should’ve rather switched to notability or stayed with one note. You’re robbing your customers with a paid subscription to an app that is so unstable and lacks enough new features.
Really would like a refund on my ‘lifetime’ membership. Utterly disappointed.

It has made studying and just keeping my work organised so much easier!
I have two suggestions about what would make this app even better:
1) A colour dropper/picker for when you want to copy a colour directly from a picture or your notes.
2) Sorting your folders in anyway possible ( not just alphabetically, or according to date)

I loved this app. Great feature sets and great writing experience. I loved the fact that it was a one time payment and there was no subscription model. That was the one reason why I continued to use it over Notability. That changed today. You guys screwed your customer over.

Version 5.9.26
The app it really good, I use it to take down notes for everything. Just one thing that bugs me is when you’re writing with the normal pen tool, if you’re writing over a text box or picture you inserted it starts moving around or using the scribble feature. It gets really annoying sometimes. I understand that there’s a specific feature for just typing to prevent this, but there isn’t enough fonts and sizing options. So I prefer to use the textboxes. It would be great if there are more features added to the typing section
But as I said it’s a really good app and it’s perfect in every other aspect

Good Concept but not easy to use

Version 5.6.32
I downloaded this app to make study notes and deleted the app after one hour
It isn’t intuitive enough because it takes so much time just to get the format right and figure out how to delete your errors
When copy and pasting a note from an article the app does not auto fit the page and adjust font size. Changing font or fit to page options wasn’t readily available
You have to scroll with 2 fingers
I tested the voice recording but couldn’t easily figure out how to delete it
When adding new notes the app doesn’t intuitively add more space or another page.
Your new note displays on top of the existing note resulting in having to move things around. And then having to reformat font, fit to page, etc
The option to adjust font size isn’t easily available only the option to choose bold, italics, etc
The app assumes you are making hand written notes therefore defaulting to a pen which you have to figure out how to get back to text. More people are inclined to make types notes
I rather downloaded a Microsoft app.

second thing i would change is the ability to download word documents. Why is that disabled? Sometimes i'm writng a document and i want to make notes on the Word version so that i can pick ip up again later on my computer, but ALAS, cant do word.

Version 5.9.88
In December of 2021, I wrote a review about how much I loved Goodnotes and hated the update that came with the ability to activate elements without selecting a tool. Right now I’m trying to write on top or inside widgets or images and everything but as soon as the pencil touches the screen, the widget or image gets activated. What is the point of this other than to be annoying and distracting? I now have to zoom out while trying not to move my widgets or images which never works. I find myself focusing more on layouts instead of my note-taking. It is very distracting. If I need to insert or edit a photo, the photo tool is there and I can select it - if I need to type, then I select that tool - I don’t need the text box activated by the eraser or photo tool just because I touched some text. This is super annoying and so frustrating and I don’t know why it’s happening!

I love this app, I honestly can’t use anything else to organise my life, studies and work.
I would love it if you guys could add a feature where we could save more than one font with it’s settings. So you have your “default” font feature already, but I would love a way to save a few fonts with their sizes , like for headings, subheadings etc.
Just a thought! Thanks again

Been using Goodnotes religiously for about 2 years, love the features and the layout. It’s easy to use and navigate. I started using the flashcard format for some notes, it’s extremely helpful, but I would love to be able to see an ‘overview’ of all my flashcards in the same way you can see the thumbnail of notebooks and files.

This app made me passionate about taking notes. I’m a dude with pretty messy notes but since getting this app my notes have actually become quite pretty since switching from pen and paper. Truly inspiring. So happy to see the audio recording & sync feature added to this app. It would be amazing to see a feature in future where you can create expandable and collapsible notes. I.e. you write a definition and then add a little dot next to it, then when you tap on the dot it expands into a note window with more information. This would allow users to maximise their note space. Otherwise, love it!!

Honestly, if you are looking for a Note-taking app for your iPad, I would recommend Notability. GoodNotes 5 is alright but Notability’s user interface is so much more friendlier. Notability is free to download and their once-a year subscription gives you value for money compared to having to purchase the GoodNotes app and then still have to purchase everything inside of it. The Notability subscription is better, and you can download things for free from the user gallery (subscription or not). With Notability, the free version is also so fun to use as well. “I hate to say it, I hope I don’t sound ridiculous but” GN5 is overrated; it’s mid.

Version 5.9.20
There should be an option for an on screen ruler and also there’s a bug regarding the new m2 iPad and the Apple Pencil hover feature, it feels very buggy to write with the feature turned on (I think maybe the software is registering a hover as pen touching screen). There also should be a square select option (instead of lasso tool only).
I’ve had to disable my pencil hover feature so that I can write smoothly but this definitely needs to be fixed because I’m sure many people want to be able to use the hover feature on their new iPads.
Overall great app

This has been the best note taking app I have ever had. It really helps me be more productive! But there are some things that would be nice
1. Being able to drag pages so that I can rearrange them more easily.
2. The colour palette being the same for all tools, I just think it would be helpful so I don’t have to keep copy and pasting the colour number.
3. Eye drop feature Other than that amazing app highly recommend!
4. Be able to make tables, bullet points, checklist

Overall a great app for note-taking, but can still be improved.

I am an engineering student and have been using GoodNotes for the last 2 years. It completely changed the way take notes and has improved my efficiency of note taking tremendously.
The writing experience is great and the “folder like” system of organizing work makes it very easy to organize your files just as you would like. Simple - but it works.
I have some suggestions regarding the note taking interface:
1. It would be great if users could add more color options to the quick access ribbon rather than just the maximum of 3, since note taking often involves the use of several colors. The same goes for the writing thickness. At the moment users are limited to 3 presets of which they could change. It would be great if users could add up to 5 color options and line thicknesses in the quick access ribbon without having to go into the color settings every time. There seems to be plenty of space in the quick access ribbon bar - especially in landscape mode - of which most note-taking is done.
2. Sticky notes: At the moment stickies are basically just images that you write over. It would be great if they could collapse and then when you click on them, they would expand/ pop-up and show the writing/ info.
I really hope these could be implemented - mainly the quick access color options ! Please at least the option to add more than 3 colors in the ribbon !
Thanks !

Hi. For some reason I can’t write the letter “i” without the template zooming out and it’s very annoying. I don’t know if it’s the fact that I write small but now the eraser is also starting to lag a bit. If I tap on the screen with the eraser brush, it comes automatically. But it takes a while for the eraser circle to disappear. Please help.
Other than that it’s a really good app.
But please fix this.

I use Goodnotes for work and for studies. I really enjoy that I can annotate on powerpoint slides, web pages, research reports or almost anything. The search picks up my handwriting very well. I love that I can access my notes on my mac, ipad and phone. I highly recommend this app. I've tried so many and this is my favourite by far.

Missing the Ruler, Arrow and Checkboxes to make it the perfect App

I use this wonderful app everyday, literally. I purchased and tested other apps, but my heart is always falling for this.
However, 3 important things to me are still missing, causing me to always use notability meanwhile:
1. The RULER: Yes, this is essential to measure and I check the update history everyday to finally find this.
2. The ARROW: I wish to draw arrow and hold on it to get it converted to editable arrow, like in Notability as I always use it.
3. The CHECKBOXES: This as well is essential as I always take notes and wish to tick them.
Thank you in advance for your efforts to get this. I will be the first to change my rating to 5/5 once these are accomplished😀👏🙏

I really like this app, it works so much better than other apps I’ve tried.
However, as a university student with chemistry etc. I really need to use subscripts and superscripts. That would make this app so much better if that could be added. It also lacks the function to be able to make bullet lists and tables, which is really a downside of the app. Another function that I would like to see is the ability to swap between more than just 3 colors in the popup menu.
I really like this app, but these changes would definitely change my like to love.

Great app
Please bring in a feature where you can add notes within notes. Like the option to add a comment. However the comments can only he written. A feature where you “add a note” would be nice where you can add a bubble next to something and when you tap on it it expands showing a big note. Sometimes i sit with a document which is very dense leaving little space to make handwritten noted and would love to have a feature where i can draw graphs and pictures but it takes up little to no space on the actual document

This is by far the best note-taking app I have used. I have been using note-taking apps for the past 9 years and have tried a fair number. This one definitely outranks them all. Even though you do have to purchase the app to access full functionality, it's a once of fee and will carry across to all devices and is VERY reasonable.
I love the fact that there is a desktop version as well as it makes adding PDFs to a folder really simple. This is the only other app I have tried with the zoom function, a make or break for me.
The only slight issue I have is that it syncs pretty slowly, but that might be because I have 2 years' worth of university textbooks, study notes, past papers, study guides, etc. that are stored on the app.

Could be great

Overall the app functions well, but the Mac version is very glitchy and unresponsive at the best of times. The typing functionality has many issues, especially if copy & paste is involved. And I would appreciate being able to set a few textbox presets and not just one. As well as inclusion of some default shapes, lines and symbols.

It just works well... and without glitches.

My personal and work life would not be as organised and efficient, if not for this app. Great Cloud functionality and backup options for safe-keeping your data too. Intricate enough to give you a variety of file and edit options, but user friendly at the same time. I value how their team releases regular updates and ensures that any bugs are dealt with quickly and effectively. Highly recommend this data management and note taking Beast!

I’ve been trying to find an app that supports sketchnoting and handwriting. Tried a few this one best so far:
- good variety of tools to use in drawing. Could have a few extra features (Eg flip image) but the basics that are there are solid and generally well crafted
- really like that you can import all sorts of docs into notebooks
What is lacking:
- the biggest significant drawback is that there isn’t a ‘smoothing’ function for pencil use. I’m using iPad pencil and the marks I make pick up every tiny micro jolt. Either I’m doing it wrong, missing something or the hand steadiness required to produce semi neat handwriting fast on this app is that of a surgeon. There is a function that smoothes marks into perfect shapes - but what is missing is a spectrum of smoothing so it’s not all or nothing. Sometimes you don’t want a perfect circle, you just want one with smooth line.
- second major drawback is that there doesn’t seem to be an advanced privacy feature. I don’t know how safe my notes are.

Absolutely loving the app. Perfect for note taking and everything that I need. I just wish that for the pen and highlighter, you could have more than 3 colour options on the top right to quickly choose from.
For the iPad Pro 12”, there is extra space on the right for even another 3 colour options to get to 6 total. I personally use quite a few different colours when making notes and this would increase productivity immensely as it’s quite time consuming having to swap out colours constantly. Hope to see some more customisation options on the task bar in general.

I used the app on my iPad for years and only recently started using it on my laptop too.
I do wish that the text (ie. typing) feature was a bit better- for this I find notability to be far superior- but the ability to organize everything in notebooks and the new flashcard feature has made me use goodnotes way more often.
Every so often I notice apple pencil lagging which I don't experience on other apps... but honestly, it doesn't happen often enough for me to want to stop using the app.

Great, but Stability Issues

The only issue i really have with goodnotes, is the instability of the app. I feel like since this is a paid for app, which is not cheap btw, it should run very well - which it doesn’t. If it wasn’t paid for, I would have let it slide, but since I had to pay for it, I feel like it should be improved upon. In my opinion, it doesn’t have anything that notability doesn’t have. In fact I feel like notability has more features, as well as is more stable than Goodnotes. Goodnotes crashes at least once a day. maybe it’s just me, I don’t know.

My favourite note taking app AND PDF reader on iPad

My two criticisms, and the reasons for docking a star, are as follows: there’s NO mouse scrolling for when you’re typing summaries and want to scroll the traditional way.
There’s also no dedicated ruler or math set tools. I’d really have appreciated the math set when I had to do geometry in school, and even now I really wish there was a ruler. There’s the straight line / geometry pen, but it’s very finicky and in many ways is simply not a worthwhile replacement for a ruler, which as much as I didnt want to forced me to break out real paper far more often than I would have liked to.
Oh, and one more thing: I would like it if there were more templates that accurately represented writing paper, such as true feint and margin, Irish and margin and grid paper with margin. Maybe a paper creator would be nice? I had to download templates in PDF and that wasn't something I imagined having to do.
Might try Notability when I get a chance.

Hi,
This application is fantastic for note taking and studying through to PhD. Unfortunately hyperlinks cannot be inserted into the documents which is very inconvenient for researchers busy with any post graduate work or undergraduate medical students referencing the latest evidence based medicine. I hope that GoodNotes will create an update, although I have seen requests for this feature going back for some time for no implementation.

Since the app updated on my iPad i have been struggling to work with it.

I want to make biology notes but it is taking me 5 times longer with this new update!! Change it back!

Another issue I have is that there is no direct way of contacting for technical support. Please add contact details in the support section.

This app is really only useful if you have an Apple Pencil, which I don’t, as I have 5th gen iPad which is not compatible. Goodnotes 4 had great support for other styli, but for some reason they decided to come up with a new app and abandon Goodnotes 4 users with the old bugs. Those users paid to get the app. It’s not fair that there isn’t more support for it. You guys should just have one Goodnotes and improve it.
One good thing is the file system. Much better that notability, especially when you use other backup drives.

The reason I chose GoodNotes over Notability is for the filing system. It’s more detailed and I feel as though I have more control over what goes where and in what. The handwriting experience for me is also more enjoyable, I feel as though my writing comes out “neater” on GoodNotes.
The only feature that I wish GoodNotes includes is the recording function that notability currently has.
Besides that, I haven’t once regretted my purchase, very happy with it!

However, there could be several more features added to the existing platform such as to add multiple pages at once rather than dragging a new page every time i.e. when adding new pages you should be able to input how many pages you need etc. furthermore, the shape tool should also work with the highlighter pen.

I am really enjoying most of the new updates in this app. However, I am mightily frustrated that the app crashes when adding successive text boxes to a page - first text box, no problem, but try adding another, then the app just shuts down and you have to restart. Hopefully the developers will release an update soon that fixes this. Otherwise I am quite impressed with the new GoodNotes 5.
