User Reviews

Many reviews praise Goodnotes for handwriting-focused note-taking, strong academic use, and an all-in-one organization workflow (notes, PDFs, planner features). However, frequent crashes, persistent pricing concerns, and inconsistent syncing/search behavior significantly hamper experience. Some users also dislike AI features or updates that affect pen performance. Overall, it remains a capable tool for notes and planning, but stability, pricing clarity, and reliable syncing/search are the top blockers to broader satisfaction.

Pros

Strong handwriting-focused note-taking that many users call a game changer for meetings and school.
Valuable for academic use with planner integration and easy organization across notes and PDFs.
All-in-one workflow with easy import/export and features like PDF markup and signing.
Intuitive interface and general ease of use for some users.

Cons

Frequent crashes and overall instability (apps closes unexpectedly, too buggy).
Pricing and licensing friction (subscription requirements, nagging upgrade prompts, not what long-time users paid for).
Sync problems across devices and cloud (iCloud sync inconsistencies; files aging, cross-device sync not reliable).
Search functionality issues after updates (loss of localized search, difficulty performing exact searches).
AI features disliked or considered optional/not wanted by some users.
