people who already bought GN5 should have a major discount on GN6
Ya, I was also irritated by this because as they took a lifetime fees and now there will give no updates for Goodnotes 5
Agree, even with the discount they provided for GN5 owners the new GN6 seems unreasonably high 🤯 The discount should have been bigger
the 33% discount is quite good since that is about the same amount that you paid for goodnotes 5, but that should be for everyone not only for people who bought goodnotes 5 in july
I just hate that it’s an update rather than a separate app.
@@TylerjWebbwhy?
You are correct. We lost the app loyalty. I have purchase good notes 5 year ago. that time felt good about Goodnotes because they offer one time payment. not a subscription model. Now, Goodnotes went into that kind of corporate style subsection model, Which hate a lot. Not only me, every one hate the subreption model. Loyalty of application is lost.
Congratulations, Good notes. You lost the so many loyal customer. It’s time to look for alternative notetaking apps.
Are they as good as goodnotes
I personally felt duped when the one-time-payment didnt mean i get updates/features forever, it was only for the one version.
I think they intentionaly dont make this very clear.
With the update itself, the math and AI could have been bundled into templates store as an additional add-on. Because i for one dont use any math in my day to day notes, the AI writing doesnt read or correct my writing accurately enough to make it attractive (10% success rate), the only thing now a complete new version does in GN6 for me colours my folders....Great.
Not worth the price even with the slight discount. This definitely should have been a free update.
Great and thorough review, you deserve more subscribers!
Love the way calming talk and explain things 👌🏻👌🏻
You should be a big UA-camr! AND YES App loyalty should be rewarded with updates :D
Thank you so much for the review!
Sir I need your support, I lost my all notes from good notes 5 when I upgraded and sir please help me how to recover it , I watch many videos but unable to fixed it , sir you are the last hope
I think what's important is that now GN6 is available across all platforms. One-time purchase supports iOS, ipadOS and macOS versions only. But yearly subscription supports also web, android, windows. Which is very convenient. You can work collaboratively on your PC while making notes on ipad the same time.
Great review! Thank😢you. I am sold!
In simple words:
Only 2 updates are good- 1) scribble to erase 2) circle to Lasso
And they are charging very high from loyal users
Bro my goodnotes is not working after the updat i can't edit my files n'all
Really good review. Thank You. I have decided to stay with GN5 for now. When they add password protection, I’ll upgrade then. I don’t think I need any of the new features. It’s great as it is. I definitely don’t need the AI. Honestly, I think it will just get in the way when I am journaling.
Sir your way to telling about features and all are very pretty and the main part when you tell about the usage according to professions that is very usefull 😍😍and i am going to follow you
Thank you 🙏
I am a med student and I have good notes 5 but I am okay with the features I have right now and after this videos its only a few changes that has been done in good notes 6 so i dont find it worth upgrading for 50$.... Thanks for the video👌🔥
Nice video. Informative.. thank you
Hi, thanks for your video and time to make it for us.
by any chance do you know if we can make our own template typing-optimized as they have few.
I am switching from the Ipad to Mac and prefer a lot more to do journal typing than handwriting on the screen.
Thanks and looking forward to hear from you
Thanks saved my money, I wanted to know about medical college only and I have my answer now.
Thank you for your video. It was conducive. I disabled those. 😤
I think this is a good update bc I do have dyslexia and I struggle a lot with figuring out how to spell words and so on. Also won’t good with math so the new update rly made it better for me to at least understand it
Nice that I have just bought iPad and good notes 6 ❤❤❤
If one is new o good notes can we subscribe to good notes 5 version now after the 6 has been realised?
I don’t see much. Sticking with GN 5.
I think GN5 users won’t be able to use their notes as GN5 will end after September 9th
@@raviprakash7062 I searched it up, and it says that if you already paid for GN5, you would still have access to all features and that your note taking experience will stay the same! :)
@@raviprakash7062where did you see this info? I can’t find anything regarding to this.
@@raviprakash7062 you wont be able to purchase it, but you will still be able to use it
@@raviprakash7062 i've read you'll WILL be able to use the app as normal, they will just be ending the ability to purchase the full GN5 after Sep9th, in the store new people will only see GN6.. But all current users can continue as normal and will get bug fixes and other updates till ios18 i believe. Just no more additional features will be added to GN5.
Very good video, but even as an engineering student, I don’t think that the math tools will be that game changing as your goal is to find the solution yourself, and having all this extra help might be too much and you won’t find it by yourself in the end
Bro this ai will not be able to solve or even check any thing of a good chaoter
Agreed
Notability or goodnote 6 which one is good
I won't upgrade to gn6 because new features don't attract me anymore. AI correction or sound recording or some other feature,,, but I don't need them. I won't upgrade until gn official stopped iCloud backup feature. I think the latest version is enough for me.
Is it good for a journaling?
The lasso tool must allow rotation after selection. The maths solved answers can have many versions . There is not a hard and fast rules for writing maths steps. So one version of answer cannot help.
They blew it with this update. AI integration should have been an add on. #SwitchToNoteful
Goodnotes 6 has annual subscription fee of 999₹ and life time subscription fee of 2999₹.
Which is good in long term as you said, the updated versions won’t be fully free ?
thanks doc!
I just purchase good notes in last few weeks but they said it’s per entry free but now they are saying to purchase this app repeatedly plz help me guys what to do 😢
Not worth the money
Nice information sir 👍 👌
Thank you sir
What is meaning of One time subscription?
Voice notes works like Notability on Goodnotes? Like in notability it’s writing+voice notes
Yes
50 dollars for an actualization in Colombia, it’s crazy. It was supposed to be a lifetime payment, if you had already bought it, why is a simple update even more expensive for us?
I like goodnotes 5 , simple and easy
Make a video about notion
Bhaiya how to cancle my free trial of goodnote6 …
Hey what case/cover are you using on your iPad ? Please tell the name 😮
Zugu Case ua-cam.com/video/y1ibeHxGvHo/v-deo.html
If i buy goodnotes 6 yearly 999rs plan then it will for lifetime or it will only for 1 year again i have to purchase for 1 year 999rs
Hey, I had updated the app to the version 6 but I had already purchase the lifetime subscription of the previous one but what about the previous purchase I don’t want to purchase this sixth edition now what I can do ?
Same issue with me
Go to settings and downgrade to Goodnotes 5
So what if i purchase gn5, do i get to stick to it or will it be unavailable after sep6, as they said ?
Yea goodnotes 5 will not be available after that. You can buy now and stick to it.
.. Is it need internet connection
Goodnotes ka price kabhi ghat ta hai? Matlab Goodnotes 6 ka price 3k hai, koi offer aata hai kaya jab iska price drop hota hai? Please bataye...🙏
First and last review I had to watch to make the decision
Dont want the new interface...but now they
pop up gn 6 add every time i open thw app .. irritating
Sir what is the iPad cover you are using and where can I get that
ua-cam.com/video/y1ibeHxGvHo/v-deo.html I made a video for it. You'll find the link to buy in description.
The app lags a lot too. Especially with the custom size pages, the bigger the pages, the more it lags. It is extreme irritating. They should work on making it much smoother!!
I by mistake deleted the Essential page templates in Goodnotes. How can I download them again in the app?? 😢
Did you look in the GoodNotes trash bin for this?
As an android user, I'm sad there's no lifetime option
Which is best app for large pdf textbook readding and annotations
Just for pdf reading and annotations - Flexcil. Goodnotes best overall for pdf as well as notes.
gn5 is the og love it
I just want to buy good notes but I think 2700 is not worth so should I buy 5version or try to buy 6version ?????
Same! I think I’m just going to buy Goodnotes 5. These new features are so unnecessary!
I donot need any of these features but would they stop us from using the previous good notes 5 in future
No you can continue to use goodnotes 5 lifelong.
Is Goodnotes 5 now available on Apple Store?
@@chiselbhatiaby mistakenly i have updated the app I want use Goodnotes 5 not what to do now
You csn use GN5 until ios 18 which is next September
you do know good notes 5 was not a free update from 4 right?
Scribbling isn’t a good habit 😂 this brought back such lovely memories of my very strict 2nd std Reena Maam.
Yeah 😂 How times have changed.
@@chiselbhatia glad to discover your channel. Don’t find many Indian channels about productivity apps and GTD.
Goodnotes 4 is the best app
But Goodnotes6 has no Noise Reduction feature..
I upgraded goodnotes 6 and now its asking me to pay but i want me goodnotes 5 but I can't. How can i get back my goodnotes 5?

820 rupees
Brdr goodnotes6 se vaaps good notes5 pr Jana hai to kaishe jaye kuoki ye subscription fee nhi dena chahta hu koi rasta ho to bataye brdr 😊
You will find an option to downgrade in settings. If not, send an email to goodnotes. There is a bug. Some are not getting the option to downgrade.
@@chiselbhatia thanks brdr kaam ho gaya 😍😍✌️✌️
I paid for GN5, Sucks to pay for GN6
Now I’m switching to noteful
Downgrade and Stick to GN5. That's what I am doing!
@@chiselbhatia how to do it ? But there won’t be any updates re support I guess
@@psadi_ go to settings and choose downgrade. Yeah no more updates.
If i dont update , will goodnotes 5 still be working ?
Yes. You can continue to use goodnotes 5 just like before.
Yes, you can work on it, but there will be no further updates given for Goodnotes 5.
Hey. I own good notes 5. If I buy a yearly good notes 6 subscription, after the subscription, will I go back to good notes 5 if I end the subscription?
@@chiselbhatiaGN5 will end in September 9th (according to their blog)
@@abhishekmundkar2325 according to faq, you will become a GN6 free basic user, limited to 3 notebooks. You will be able to choose which 3 you want editable, the rest will be read only
What happens to your documents when you are off the internet ? does it work offline ?
Everything works offline. The changes you make offline get synced to the cloud when you get online.
It appears to me that it is not worth updating 5 to 6. This video and another convinced me to stay out with something I have already paid for. I don’t like this new trend towards subscriptions. I think incremental upgrades probably are worth paying for every few updates when there is a substantial difference in the app. Just like it’s not worth buying each new iteration of an iPhone and better to wait a few upgrades or when your phone no longer handles the software
True. GN5 is great 👌
Nice review. I’ve been using GN since version 4. A few thoughts:
1. Don’t be too impressed with customizable page templates. These have always been easy to make in procreate (or any app that lets you make a pdf) and then import into GN. So this is no real improvement.
2. The fonts, colors and icons give the appearance of feminine teenager. Doesn’t look very appropriate for professional environment.
3. The folder graphics are pretty sparse. I would have expected customizable graphic or text options.
the way you use feminine teenager as an insult …
Can I buy Good Notes 5 instead of GN 6 ??
Not possible now. They allowed it for a few days. Now only gn6 is available.
@@chiselbhatia Thank you sir for the reply...sir 1 confusion...I m new user...can I go for GN 6 One yr subscription or Lifetime subscription ??? As in future too GN6 may b discontinued
Difficult choice. Depends how long you want to use GN. They usually come with a new version in 3-4 years. either pay yearly for 3-4 years then use GN7 or pay once and keep using GN6 for a longer period without upgrading to 7. @@DrBKJ
@@chiselbhatia Thank you so much sir 💖
First
Sir please tell us we can continue with goodnotes - 5 , without updating it into 6 or doing update is compulsory ....???..
Because I think there is no worth updating to 6 no much update for annotations and notemaking task.
Please answer sir - I don't want to update n pay extra bucks for which I don't like
You can stick to 5. That’s what I am doing.

This new version has bugs. Autodelete handwriting.
The Handwriting and pen experience is unlike Apple's native Apple Note app.
Is there any problem ?
If I don't upgrade to note6 from 5 ?
No They just keep giving you a pop up to upgrade. No other problem.
3k ruppes for a goodnote 6 is too much
Not so necessary update
I just bought Goodnotes 5 just a week back. Wtfffffff
claim a refund from apple
It is not good for GoodNotes 5 users
How to downgrade
Screw goodnotes 6 and screw the company. Subscription models are nothing but a money grab. One time lifetime WILL NOT be one time nor life time. Just ask a good notes 5 user who paid for ONE TIME LIFE TIME and now we get updates for a little while longer, then nothing.
More like Scamnotes 6
Goodnote 6 at 1999 for lifetime subscription
How
Because Indian version is lesser than us.
Worth every penny
it aint worth Just get Notability
@@anushkachathuranga8943 I agree
Notability have an edge
@@adbhutciviledge in paying more money ? 😂
@@himanshurao8668A better more intuitive app than Goodnotes altogether. I know, I use both.
Patch version or minor versions have more features than their major new app release. Duck u GN , never gonna buy again
I bought goodnotes 5 a week ago 🥲
Same here bro......
How to downgrade
Wait 7 days and it will be GN5
Go to setting go to downgrade turn the switch off
the downgrade button in settings
