As a legacy GoodNptes 4 user who upgraded to 5, I hate the new pricing. I will probably move to Notability or Noteful as soon as they remove the GoodNotes 5 mode.....
Someone else said goodnotes 5 could be removed ? I find this subscription based model to be annoying and I’m not doing it. I can more than afford it but I hate how everything is going towards that because all these subscriptions eventually add up and it becomes a ton of money spent per month. I hate subscriptions and I like “owning” things instead. I don’t see why they would remove goodnotes 5 if we already paid for it. This is so stupid. If they do remove it, I’m going back to notability because I was grandfathered into it and don’t have to pay monthly bc I had the app in college right before they switched to subscription. So I got lucky there. Goodnotes should take NOTES on how Notability did that and doing something for long term customers
Thanks for the overview of GoodNotes 6 👍🏻 I totally agree with @triggeredlatina. I’ve been anti subscription since Adobe introduced it 10 years ago. I can’t afford to pay for a new version of GoodNotes 😟 From your review it looks like the new features are aimed at folks who use it for note taking, not those who use it for digital planning. So I’m not going to update and will probably use Notability or NoteShelf since I have both of those apps.
As someone who bought into GN during the whole Notability controversy, this is incredibly frustrating to see lol ( “Either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain” )
Wouldn't be surprised if the increases of a lot of AI in writing apps/sites would mean more people switching to analog for people that don't like AI, especially for school/college classes (save for some exceptions, like with having neurodiversity and/or learning disabilities that makes writing apps/sites essential).
@@triggeredlatinaNotability switched from one-time purchase to a subscription-based model and it pissed a lot of people off back then. For more info, you can google it. Goodnotes stepped in and basically said “lol we’d never do that, here’s a 50% discount for you guys to try Goodnotes instead”.
@@triggeredlatinaWhen they became a subscription app, but to be honest they did better than Goodnotes because the people who had bought still got access
I mean the erasing by scribing over text is awesome just like the laso thing use by pen... but for the double price of goodnotes 5? or meaningless Yearly paying if you're not planning to stop using it within like two years? I'll stay by goodnotes 5 - i hope that's possible and they're not gonna take it down in a mont or so😅 im kinda sad about that dact that update is paid but that's maybe because I'm android user who has ipad just because it seemed as the best drawing ipad plus for taking notes... (Yeah yeah yeah im complaining about people being paid for their job ik ik but hey for me its kinda expensive if its just for some more tools to have)
Unlike the GoodNotes 4 and 5 where they made a “new” app, GoodNotes 6 didn’t. So your GN 5 might glitch, stop working, or you might lose it if you ever get a new iPad
Your timing was perfect in regards to GN 6, Rina. What are your thoughts on GN 6 overall? I’ve heard some grumblings from a few who are not happy with GN 5 so aren’t interested in paying for GN 6. So far I haven’t had any problems working with either 5 or 6, so plan to pay the one time fee to upgrade. Thank you
I like the new features overall, especially the scribble to erase feature. The AI handwriting features, I'd like to see how that develops because you can see how it performs in the video. I mainly use goodnotes for digital planning/journaling but if I were a student who used it for notetaking, then I would find the features even more useful.
@@ullamorozova It is both subscription based and one time purchase. There is no compulsion to upgrade to Goodnotes 6 as paid users of GN 5 can continue to use it.
Until you accidentally or automatically update…GN for the first time ever did not make a separate app for it’s newer counterpart. I had GN3, GN 4, GN 5. But GN6 is the same as GN5…they claim u can downgrade back to 5 but since they made it the same app u will have glitches and it will keep forcing you to upgrade to 6 @@UPSCMathZone
Since I’m not a student most of these features aren’t super enticing for me, but if they added linked pages I think I’d make the switch! I’m not very interested in AI as a whole unfortunately.
I am experiencing huge battery drain on my iPad Air 5 while using Goodnotes6. In about 33 minutes, i lost 15-20% of battery. If i add it up, that would be about 3 hours of use, which isnˋt always enough for a day in school. Did you experience this too?
Hi Rina! I love ur vids! And Im soon going to finally buy an apple Pencil for my iPad and I'm going to following all ur tips for goodnotes with the Apple pen!
Thank you for the video. I have now concluded that I will not be buying the good notes 6. I am very content with the 5 version. I have realised that as I am preparing for competitive examinations havin the app correct and complete my sentences and help of AI will ultimately lead to a decreased understanding for me, I need to write the correct words and sentences every time to get better. I realised that while I was working a lot on ms word during my masters having the app correct words for me lead to me not caring much about correct spellings and sentence formation. Thank you once again.
i’ve been binge watching all of your videos and finally got the app for myself but i don’t know how to lock background in place so when i lasso elements and images the whole thing doesn’t move altogether
I bought your journal yesterday and pretty new to journaling. I haven't no journal experience and I really don't know where to start, I also have problems with the handwritten to text tool, the keyboard is always in the way and I also bought the realistic handwritten font, but I have to choose the font over and over again with every sentence. Sorry i'm completly new to an iPad overall
Hi! Please check out my "How to get started" video for help if you're new to digital planning. Do send us a message on the Happydownloads contactus page if you're having issues with anything 💗
My biggest problem with it now is when it tries to recognize my equations and make a mistake I can't edit the equation. Either I'm missing something or they have not really implemented this. I mean if I could tap the equation and it shows a LaTeX equation for me to edit it would be fine but I guess it's not yet implemented?
Sorry that I cannot share the enthusiasm. I don‘t want to upgrade. I don‘t see any advantage that AI has also arrived here scanning your complete work, including one of your most personal thing: your handwriting.This thought even seems to be eerie imho. Many other features would have been much more urgent to implement. GN have widely failed to really do what they should have done I think.
I write in multiple languages, so to see red lines under every sentences or words that is not in English would be very frustrating to me. Also, I like to doodles and scribbles on top of other words, or objects, so it would be bad if it erase it, can the scribble feature be disabled? I don’t know.
I had a tablet with GoodNotes5. Now I bought a new tablet. I downloaded GoodNotes from my account and version 6 was installed automatically. Can I download version 5 that I purchased on my new tablet?
I was wondering that if you buy the product as "the forever version" you can have these upgrades, or these come after a while. That's because i have my ipad (normal version, 10.2" 2021) upgraded, my apps are too, and i don't have these features. Help please!!! ❤❤❤
Unfortunately, it's not available for the Galaxy Tab ( android ) , so please can you tell us which one can be the same as the Goodnotes app for android? I am using now my galaxy Tab s8 ultra now. Thanks.
Samsung notes is the best. The only thing that it doesn't have is that you can't choose A4 size, but you can use A4 template and it works. No need to pay for stupid notes app.
Hi! The pen you are using doesn’t look like an apple pencil pen, I wonder what is its brand, I am watching your videos from Türkiye, is it a material that hasn’t yet arrived in our country, or have you customized the tip of your pen yourself? Thanks in advance for your reply 🌸
I think it depends on whether you find the new features useful? I personally really like the scribble to erase tool, it's more convenient than switching back and forth with the eraser
hello, i boutgh pleny today, my app doesn't allow me to move pages or even zoom when other tools are activated, I can't write properly because of that, I already send emails, pleaseee help me
does anyone know what kind of pen shes using, I struggle writing with the apple pencil because its not sharp like a pencil and it messes with my handwriting
I’ve GoodNotes 5 on my iPad, and whenever I’m going to App Store, it’s showing that the app I have is GoodNotes 6, but the interface of the app isn’t same as yours :( can you (or anyone) please help me a bit?
Unless you pay for the subscription, you will still have the GN5 interface. In the past GN would create a new app but this time they just built GN6 unto GN5 but you don’t get the features unless you pay for the subscriptions. Which you do by going into settings.
@@AntNoAngleIf people still support this, I guarantee a new version will come out much sooner ( “oh we put GPT…7 into the app and added new features, introducing GN 7…and I want more money from you” ) The so-called “one-time purchase” is gonna lose its meaning really quickly.
okay, so goodnotes isn’t a good alternative anymore for my students who will just start using digital notebooks in february next year. this is so annoying…!
I'm probably going to go back to pencil and paper. All these features aren't useful and hell half the time it can't even recognize my handwriting, which isn't great but it's not awful either.
I think i did something really dumb. I didn’t buy the GN 5 first but i saw the News about and its gonna be subscription (yeah i found out today) i bought it for 300 TL upgrade and then i update the App and it says u need to pay for 2nd time ok it’s cool but it didn’t give me any discount and i bought it 900 TL again like a non upgraded user and total cost 1200 TL for me if i didn’t get panic and didn’t buy before update it would be only cost me 900TL but now 1200TL (and it’s huge number for our country i hope that apple refund me …) I don’t know How to contact with support team of Goodnotes can someone help me about it
