Ratings and reviews

I really wanna once love this. App does not sync across platforms correctly. I started with desktop. Can't add sticker collection. Tried on iPad, works great. Just downloaded android, it synced partially. Sticker collection did not sync nor did client data for the one item I used it for. can't pay a monthly subscription for cross platform access when it does not sync properly. Developers need to go back and work on this.

I've long been a Goodnotes apostle. It basically got me through anesthesia school and I never would've searched for anything else. At that time, I had an iPad that was my primary note taking device and an iPhone. Shortly after graduation, I switched to a Z Fold 5 (still iPad for tablet). Everything still worked well, but the syncing options were horrendous. Then, my next phone is a traditional-style Android and the app isn't even compatible? Why? It isn't a form factor issue when iPhone has it.

I had high hopes after looking at my friends notes with iPads. Friends, it is NOT THE SAME. At all. It lacks canvas compatibility that iOS has which is absolutely obnoxious. It won't let you upload notes into the notebooks themselves and it lags pretty badly. I was constantly behind on lectures. I wanted to like it because of long press for line straightening and palm rejection, but this is the worst app I've used for notes. That's even compared to One Note and my default app.
