GoodNotes has been indispensible for daily notetaking during meetings, signing documents, grading/marking up electronic papers, and for running online courses. It's easy to use and has a very minimal learning curve. The ability to convert hand-writing to typed text is extrememly useful as is the ability to quickly switch between tools and colors when it comes to note-taking and presentations. GoodNotes integrates well with virtual meeting software (GoogleMeet, Zoom, etc.) and is useful as a whiteboard while screen-sharing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The only complaint I've had is the lack of greek letter recognition. I work with greek symbols frequently in my note-taking and courses. When using the writing-to-text, it would be nice to have the greek lettes appear. When handwriting notes, this is not a issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Love that I can import in images/slides/graphics into a slide set and add notes.
It's made my presentations slicker and allows me to carry a huge range of notes with me for whenever inspiration strikes.
Enjoy being able to have different folders as well as notebooks and study sets as this allows me to keep home and work seperate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I don't find the help tab very helpful. It's taken me several months to learn various functions and I'm not sure I'm fully utilising all features yet.
I wish the options were a bit more intuitive, for example adding in a photo could be done with a camera icon in the toolbar instead of several steps beforehand Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Goodnotes is both easy to use and flexible, and offers the best handwriting experience I have found for Apple iPad and Apple Pencil. I use the app daily for both work and personal reasons. Keeping daily notes, meeting notes, personal diaries. A wide range of templates, covers and icons is available to use both paid for and free from the inbuilt store (I almost exclusively use the free ones).
Saved notebooks can be bookmarked and searched. The spell correct function is also very usable for your handwriting (but I'm not a GP, not sure it can strtch to that LOL). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Not so much a dislike, but very much hoping to see the latest Apple APIs in future updates to enable the new writing tools coming for iPad OS 18 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Goodnotes every day to help keep my notes organised and concise. No longer is my desk filled with unorganised post-it notes. I can use Goodnotes to create proper annotated notes with context including photos. The team are constantly adding new features to the app which makes me confident this won't turn into another note-taking app that just gets left behind. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I now have a stack of post-it notes looking sad on the edge of my desk. Never to be used again. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It works! and it has a straightforward file organisatioin system that makes it easy to find things. I really have stopped using paper for almost everying apart from very quick, disposable notes. I use it every day! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Not many, slight irritation when moving items from one folder to another, but otherwise no complaints Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'm the production manager for a small cabinet shop that hates paper. We were stoked when we found Goodnotes. It's really good, but it would be perfect for construction use if you offered an add-on or another version that allows us to scale and measure architectural drawings. Please consider this suggestion. Also, it would be great if you could provide a shared folder instead of requiring us to share one file at a time. Thanks for listening! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
-Needs arcitectural drawing scaling and measuring.
-Needs to allow sharing a folder
-Needs to focus on construction industry to not leave half the money on the table. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I have been using Goodnotes for the better part of the last 1 year. I started with Goodnotes 5 and I am on the updated version 6 of the app. The best part of the app I love is the ability to backup my notes on Google Drive. This means I have a PDF version of all my notes readily available anytime I need it. The new AI summary features are amazing too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I think it is not that usable on the small screen of the IOS app. I use it on the Ipad mainly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I have found using Goodnotes an amazing way of keeping records. I no longer have to keep bits of paper lying around as it is now digital. More importantly, being able to access my notes on other devices have been an absolute plus. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There isn't much I dislike about Goodnotes however, I have found that some options are limited and require extra payment. Considering that I have already paid for the app itself, having to pay for other services can be disappointing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have been able to use Good Notes to convert my old paper business system into a digital version which has really been a game changer in being unable to have all my office files at my fingertips wherever I am - absolutely brilliant! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Lack of business style templates and the new way of dropping a page from one note book to another. Was easier and took less time before the update. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The ability to create notes easily, search for information and store everything in the cloud so that it can be accessed from multiple devices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The only enhancement that I would like to see is some kind of tagging or way of being able to search for actions that have been captured in a meeting and may need to be followed up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the fact that Goodnotes syncs easily over many devices. I can annotate from one and pcik it up later on another. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Need to check that the latest version of Goodnotes is downloaded otherwise there are sync issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
