Goodnotes 6 4+

As a student who just recently bought an iPad, many of my friends have recommended this app for note-taking purposes. I’ve used this app for about 5 days, and I’m beginning to understand why my friends have strongly persuaded me to download this.

I think its amazing how you can change the different styles of pen, even sensing the stress I put on my apple pencil when I use the fountain pen or the brush pen. The folders make my homepage extremely organized and makes it really easy to navigate through my notes. I haven’t yet attempted the search function, but I am positive that it would impress me as well. Just one suggestion for improvement, maybe allowing the user to customize the color of the folder would be even better :)

I have been using Goodnotes for more than 4 years. The reason why I chose it instead of other note taking app is because of the clear folder system and simplifity the app gave to me. I like the app very much. However, there are some issues lasted for a long long time that Goodnote still not yet fixed. For example, I am pleased that Goodnote finally has the voice recording function. But then, the user experience is not as smooth as I thought it should be. Even entering the new era of Goodnote 6, we still can't rename the audio. It often retracts to the beginning when I try to drag the timeline. Ok! then i use the forward 10s function, but the problem getting even worse. It become irresponsive. I have no choice but have to restart the app. Besides, sometimes, my hand written word disappeared when I play the audio which made me hard to follow and felt annoyed. More importantly, it also freeze during playback. That is crazy.
I hope these problem can be fixed soon. For example, please allow us to click on the word for directly the audio so that it will be more intuitive to use.
Coming to Goodnote 6, I paid once again with a high expectation. I don't think the new features such as AI math calculation worth the money I spend. Instead, please spend more time on bug fixing and system optimization.
An app known to great only when it can provide a seamless and smooth user experience but not some fancy function. Those are just a bonus.

Have been using Goodnotes 5 for three years with no major issues except occasional random lines appearing when writing. But what’s even worse is that the pdfs are glitching and lagging so much a month after updating to goodnotes 6. The pdf automatically jumped to the very first pages or went frozen when I would just like scroll one page up. Have been trying everything by spending ages deleting my old files and emptying the trash bin, updating my ipad ios and goodnotes 6 itself, restarting my ipad, ensuring my pdfs file size are not too large, following every steps on what to do when glitches happen written on the goodnotes official website etc.. Nothing improves and the app continues to glitch. Instead of only telling the users what to do, blaming your clients’ pdf size being too large or blaming it’s the problem with apple itself, goodnotes could you please also reflect on improving the performance of your app? It is unacceptable to ask your clients to do something about it when it is your responsibility to provide us with the smooth user experience.
Almost every thing went so smoothly with this app during my two years of A-Levels and my first year of medical school, but this year the app’s performance has just been intolerable. My ipad model is not even that old, its an ipad pro 12.9’ 2020.
