Best study companion app for old graduate students
Ahmed M. Elkhashen
Very nice well functioning and organized app, helpful in note takings, storage of data and books.Also, very helpful in editing books and other necessary documents for studying.In conclusion the best app for me, after trying so many other alternatives, highly recommended.I have been using the app for the past two years with different study methods and recent updates taking the experience to another level.
Please fix the problems
user's review
I want to know why, after the recent update, the app has become so bad. We’re struggling with constant freezing — we can’t write, edit, or do anything properly. I have to close and reopen the app repeatedly, and sometimes even that doesn’t help.Editing features like changing font size, color, or copy/paste have also become very poor.The overall performance of the app has dropped significantly, and I’d like to know why. If this is a technical issue, please fix it soon, because my colleagues and I at university are planning to switch to another app.

Missing feature

It is a great app overall but the only thing is missing is the recording feature. Apart from that it is the best(better than notability)
- Paste content without bringing along unwanted formatting like custom colors or fonts.
- Open GoodNotes AI in compact view without an unexpected slide-up animation.
- See a clearer explanation of your current subscription status when trying Pro for free.
- Display the correct sidebar header background for classroom users.
- Prevent importing Text documents into incompatible document types to avoid unexpected behavior.
