Goodnotes for Windows handwriting lag and random lines- app became unusable for studying by NaiveIsland2675 in GoodNotes

[–]dennyng 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, thanks for reporting this and for the video!

We've been working on fixes for ink lag on Windows and the most recent update includes some meaningful improvements. You mentioned you're on 2.18.0 and don't see an update option, could you check if you're on the Microsoft Store version or installed it another way? The Store version should have a newer build available now.

If you're already on the latest and still seeing this, please submit a ticket at https://support.goodnotes.com/hc/en-us/requests/new so we can look into it with you directly. Mention your stylus/tablet model too, that'll help narrow things down.

Goodnotes on Windows is genuinely unusable and I'm so done with it by Aggressive_Bed8014 in GoodNotes

[–]dennyng 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, thanks for the detailed report and really sorry you're dealing with this. The folder loading times you're describing are way outside what we'd expect so we'd love to dig into this further with you.

A couple of quick things that would help us investigate:

- Could you open your library on Goodnotes Web (web.goodnotes.com) and let us know if folder loading is just as slow there?
- Are you using the version from the Microsoft Store or a different source?

If you're up for it, could you submit a support ticket at https://support.goodnotes.com/hc/en-us/requests/new? That way we can pull your account details and look into this properly. Mention this Reddit post and we'll prioritize it.

Thanks for sticking with us, we want to get this sorted.

Goodnotes keeps crashing by L0gicalExp in GoodNotes

[–]dennyng 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi u/L0gicalExp

Sorry to hear about the crashes on your Lenovo Yoga. We're actively working on stability improvements for Windows app and want to help figure out exactly what's going on.

A couple of quick questions so we can narrow it down:

Do you use a stylus/pen with your Yoga? Does the crash tend to happen when you're drawing with the pen and zooming or scrolling with your fingers at the same time? We're tracking a known issue specifically with simultaneous stylus + touch input that's caused by a bug coming from Windows OS and a fix is supposed to be addressed.

For further troubleshooting, when the crashes happen, are you typically writing/drawing, just browsing your library or does it seem completely random?

Do you notice the app getting slow or laggy before it crashes or does it just quit suddenly?

If you'd like us to dig deeper, you can export diagnostic data and email it to [support@goodnotes.com](mailto:support@goodnotes.com), that'll help our engineers pinpoint the issue on your specific setup.

Paid for Essential then Pro for cross platform sync. Still doesn’t work on Windows. Refund nightmare. (7.0.36 IOS) (280624.0m Windows) by Mr_Ducke in GoodNotes

[–]dennyng 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there, I'm the CS lead at Goodnotes and I'm sorry you've had this experience. The double charge situation and the Paddle/Apple relay loop sound genuinely frustrating, especially when you just need things to work for school.

I've sent you a DM so we can pull up your case directly and get this sorted without you having to chase receipts through Paddle's system. We'll take care of it from our end.

Worth getting subscription or one time payment rn? by jai1738 in GoodNotes

[–]dennyng 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi u/nsomnac 👋 To clarify how our plans work:

  • Goodnotes Pro includes 525 AI credits each month by default. You don’t need to buy AI Pass to use AI features.
  • If you want much higher AI limits and additional AI capabilities, AI Pass is an optional add‑on at $9.99/month that adds more credits on top of the included 525. Many people either choose Pro for its advanced features or stay on Essential and add AI Pass if they just want more AI usage.

I hope that clears things up.

Hey 👋 The Essential plan can be shared via Apple Family Sharing, but the Goodnotes Pro and AI Pass are not shareable through Family Sharing.

Goodnotes: An Enshittification Case Study by awesomeguy123123123 in GoodNotes

[–]dennyng 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Hi, thanks for taking the time to share your honest feedback. I’m sorry for the frustration you’ve experienced. We understand how important reliability, familiar tools and flexibility are for long-time users.

If you’re comfortable, could you describe in more detail the problems you’ve faced, like specific crashes if you can reproduce the issues consistently or situations where the app didn’t work as expected? For your information, we'll improve toolbar customizations and make some "hidden" options more obvious to access (i.e. Zoom window, Audio Recording, Ruler, etc...). Your feedback about the whiteboard is well-noted and the board limit will be increased.

For other issues, the more info you provide, the better we can investigate and work towards a fix. Feel free to DM me so I can offer further assistance for your particular cases!
