  • ‘ight, keep my money

    I’ve been using this app for school and random nonsense - like teaching my children how to write. I’ve been using it on and off heavily during school semesters for a couple years now and in October 2025, they didn’t update that many users were upset with regarding their toolbar customization. At the time of this posting they have a website for their users to leave feedback and many were posting on it regarding this update, myself being one of them. I greatly love and appreciate the time and dedication they exhibited, showing they listen and do take that feedback seriously to create something people want to use. I love the interface, the customizations and options that they provide to their users while also achieving a fabulous user experience. I highly recommend this app to anyone it’s relevant to or if it’s just something you’re thinking about. Can’t wait to see where they go from here - I’m here for the ride!

    It could be better if there weren't ads that’s it
  • Restore the original layout for the pencil squeeze

    Can we get back the pen and eraser being next to one another. It is much more inconvenient having to double tap, which requires more than one double tap most of the time, or having to reach all the way up to the tool bar in order to switch to the eraser.

    Ever since Goodnotes was sued for being in violation of their pen and drawing APIs, the app is basically useless. Every fundamental part of the app is broken beyond repair. The devs are only focused on AI, which is a detriment to their efforts. Clearly the devs cannot maintain this program and are okay with squeezing some money out of it before it is truly dead and buried. Notability is what most people are moving to.

    Notepad v Text document not articulated in help screen. The former has a toolbar and the latter it does not.
  • The Apple Pen Tracking is horrible.

    I’m having a devil of a time getting this app to track in cursive handwriting. That print is nothing too get excited about either. I wish I could get my money back because that was the only reason I bought it.

    I’m a student and I’m trying rlly hard to improve my grades. However, suddenly, this update just showed up asking for money? The whole reason I’m using this app was to stop wasting money on tutors…why am i getting asked to spend money again? I’m sorry I just don’t get the whole reason of this money asking thing…
